Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 The Scars

Jacob knew her body well, but it was the first time he saw the scar on her lower abdomen.

In fact, he knew that she was allergic to anesthesia. When she had a cesarean section, she remained sober, and he had heard her heartwrenching screams outside the operating room. He even knew how many layers needed to be stitched to close her wound.

In addition to the scar on her abdomen, there was a new wound on the inside of her left arm. Jacob suddenly recalled that Avery had gone to the hospital after Layla caused a scene that day.

He had thought it was a minor injury. Little did he expect it to be such a long scar.

Avery hated pain the most but she endured it silently, just letting that slide.

Jacob pursed his thin lips, thinking of Avery's words before she lost consciousness. His heart ached as if it had been cut open.

He changed Avery into soft pajamas, adjusted the room temperature to make it warmer, and embraced her tightly.

John quickly entered with the private doctor, Nolan. The two instinctively wanted to go out upon seeing this scene.

"Come back and check on her!"

"Yes, sir."

Nolan was Jacob's private doctor. Avery had been healthy and rarely fell ill. Every time Nolan came to treat her, she just got either a scraped hand or a sprained foot.

Back then, Nolan even joked that she was full of energy.

It had been two years since they last met. The girl he once described as energetic now lay on the bed lifelessly, her face ghostly pale. Clearly, she was weak.

Nolan made a quick checkup. "Sir, based on my initial assessment, Madam Avery is unconscious due to excessive weakness. She just caught a cold and needs to keep warm to prevent fever. The wounds on her wrists did not damage any tendons or bones, but it requires careful care."

"Weakness?" Although Avery had been a bit weak recently, Jacob thought it was just a cold, and that she should have recovered by now.

"Yes, Madam Avery's heart rate and pulse indicate she is not as healthy as an average person. She also has symptoms of gastric problems. I am not as knowledgeable in traditional medicine as my teacher. If you have time, sir, you had better take Madam Avery to the hospital for a detailed examination."
