Chapter 29 She Felt The Turmoil In His Heart
Tears streamed down Avery's cheeks as she realized she and Jacob could never return to the way
things were.
He betrayed her and even involved the Adams family, who killed his sister.
The debts were too complex to calculate, like a tangled mess that only grew tighter, suffocating them,
ultimately leading to a deadly end.
Jacob cradled her face, his thumb wiping away the tears on her cheeks. "Avy, don't love me; hate me
instead. I betrayed you, I hurt our child, and there's no turning back for me."
She felt the turmoil in his heart, his rare tenderness, like a hint of greenery on a thawing iceberg.
But soon, it was obliterated by the next storm.
Jacob left the room as Avery watched his retreating figure.
Avery knew that this turn marked their final farewell.
There was no turning back for them.
When Avery stepped out of the room, Madison was no longer there. Kind-hearted Madison had always
tried to bring them closer, thinking their disagreements were minor quarrels.
Avery was the only Mrs. Hill in the eyes of Madison, who didn't know it was actually a huge mistake.
Avery chuckled self-deprecatingly. With Madison's company, she hadn't felt lonely in the vast mansion.
Only when Madison left did Avery realize an empty house was as lonely as her life.
The sky had turned dark outside. There was a pot of soup that Madison had prepared in the kitchen,
and Avery served herself some.
The steam rising from the hot soup blurred her features even further.
Avery's expression remained calm as she took one sip after another.
She had found a way to break free from this exhausting game.
Jacob, what my father owes you, I'll repay.
Avery decided not to continue with chemotherapy but to enjoy the remaining days of her life.
She could see Jacob's pain and inner conflict. As long as she died, he wouldn't have to wrestle with
that inner turmoil and hatred daily.
She realized that this deadlock only required her to die, and from now on, Jacob could have a better
life.
He could be with the woman he loved and their son.
He would still be the remarkable legend of the Astrie.
Everything would be perfect as long as she was out of the picture.
That would be great.
Avery came to terms with it all and suddenly felt the shackles bound her were gone.
Jacob didn't return that night, and Hill Mansion was eerily quiet.
After spending so many days in her room, Avery woke up early for the first time.
The rest of the days had improved her spirits significantly, and Madison deserved credit for her
recovery. Under Madison's care, Avery's complexion had become healthier.
The chemotherapy medications seemed to work, as her stomach had not troubled her in the past few
days.
Avery changed into a suitable outfit and was about to leave her room when she found John standing
outside with a stern expression.
He respectfully greeted her, "Mrs. Hill."
Avery responded with a smile, something John hadn't seen in a long time. "Good morning."
John was taken aback. Since their falling out, he had only seen Avery in a hoarse and exhausted state Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
over the past two years or consumed by tears and sadness. It had been a while since he had seen her
smile like this.
Avery's smile made John hesitate with the words he wanted to say. Eventually, Avery broke the silence,
"Just tell me."
"Mr. Hill asked me to take you to City Hall."
Avery had expected this. There were some things that, if left unspoken, might still have room for
excuses. But only stark reality remained once they were brought out into the open.
