How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 757

Jarrod stopped in his tracks at the sight before him, his dark eyes fixed on that number. For a long moment, he just stood there, finally exhaling a slow breath before composing a message to Elodie:

*Where are you? Want to grab dinner tonight? I can come pick you up if you'd like.*

He hit send.

Staring at the message thread for a while, Jarrod's long fingers slid across the screen, pinning her chat to the top.

Meanwhile, Elodie was in a conference at VistaLink Technologies, meeting with the tech department.

She and Galen, along with Alexander Sterling, were deep in discussion about the latest system optimization.

Elodie watched the rapid stream of data flickering across her laptop, a gentle smile touching her lips as she replied, "It's fine. Keeping busy helps, and besides, my surgery is more or less scheduled now."

Alexander set his folder down, frowning. "So, about the operation..."

Elodie's lashes fluttered briefly as she jotted down another set of numbers. "Whatever needs to be done, we'll do it."

Alexander saw through her calm to the unease beneath. He gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "As long as the surgery goes smoothly, nothing else matters."
