Chapter 557 I Like You


    Jane was wiping her tears at that time. The moment she heard what he said, she froze and stared at


    him.


    Cooper looked at the buttons on the elevator and continued, “It was consideredte when I realized I


    had stage three lung cancer since I had to undergo chemotherapy, and there was no guarantee that my


    disease could be cured. I wasn''t afraid of dying, but I owed Genev too much. I was worried no one


    could take care of her and manage thepany if I died. That was why I decided to try it, no matter


    how small my chances of recovery were. After that, I lied to her by telling her that I was going on a


    business trip abroad. During that time, for more than a month, I was undergoing chemotherapy at the


    hospital. It was really tough, but I survived it. However, I recently fainted and went for a checkup at the


    hospital. The doctor told me there were signs of rpse of my lung cancer.”


    Jane used to think that Cooper was ruthless, decisive, and omnipotent as Armand in the business


    world.


    She did not expect him to be as pitiful as her.


    Cooper said gently, “When you were forced to have a marriage of convenience with the Wood family


    should do the same now. I''ve been looking for a doctor who can treat your heart disease. I''ll let you


    know once I find him.”


    “Mm.” Jane felt better in an instant, and the despair she felt eased up eventually.


    When the elevator arrived on the first floor, she walked out with him.


    “I only told you about my illness tofort you, but don''t tell Genev about it,” Cooper chirped.


    She nodded.


    The resort was huge, and entertainment facilities were readily avable. The film festival''s opening


    ceremony was on the west section of the entertainment center while the hotel was on the north.


    Therefore, they had to walk for quite some time to return to the hotel.


    It was already over eleven o''clock at night. The air was damp and cold, which made people shiver.


    Cooper noticed that Jane was wearing a thin, long dress. Since he knew she had a weak body, he put


    his suit jacket on her like a gentleman.


    His warmth lingered on the insides of his suit jacket. When Jane felt the exceptional warmth and


    smelled the subtle scent of cedar from the suit jacket, she felt a little dizzy.


    Suddenly, she trotted toward him, getting closer to him.


    “Coop.”


    Stopping in his tracks, he turned around. “Yeah?”


    Gathering her courage, she gazed at him intently. “I like you. Romantically,” she confessed.


    Stunned for a moment, Cooper disyed a look of surprise. “Have you gone mad?”


    She pursed her pink lips and mumbled, “No. I''ve fallen for you a long time ago.”


    Jane''s biological mother would always sigh when she brought Jane for checkups at the hospital. Jane''s


    mother used to say to her, “Why is your body so frail when you''re this beautiful? What''s the point of


    being a beauty, then?”


    After Armand brought Jane to Jadeborough, Cooper was the one who took her abroad to visit the


    doctor every time.


    Despite the usual unfavorable results, Cooper always said, “It''s okay. Humans can even build rockets,


    so why can''t we ovee a mere heart surgery?”


    Jane had already fallen for Cooper then, but she kept it hidden in her heart since she did not dare to


    say anything.


    However, when she learned that he understood her, and his words consoled her again, she decided to


    tell him.


    The man recovered from his initial shock, and his face now disyed an ice-cold expression. He said


    in a cold and heartless tone, “I''ll only love Genev for as long as I live, so you''d better use your time


    doing something meaningful.”


    She knew he would turn her down, but she could not help feeling sad when he said it.


    “Liking you is a very meaningful thi—”


    He interrupted her before she could finish, “Jane, you''re an intelligent woman. Don''t make yourself look


    like a fool and struggle unnecessarily. I believe Armand didn''t tell you something.” After a pause, he


    continued, “Samantha is my mother.”


    After Cooper turned around and left, she was still frozen in ce.


    What did he just say?


    Taking out her phone, she called Steven. Once she got a confirmation from him, she could not believe


    it at all and stood outside the hotel in the cold for a long time.


    A little over thirty minutester, she rushed into the hotel and knocked on the door of Cooper''s room.


    When he saw her, Cooper thought Jane wanted to return his suit jacket.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Instead, she said, “I know you love Genevieve, and I don''t mind it at the very least. I only hope that I


    can spend what little time I have left with you.”


    Hearing that, he frowned. “Did you forget what I told you just now?”


    She conjured up all her courage and replied solemnly, “I remember, but so what? I love you and want


    to be with you. I don''t care if it''s immoral.”


    Cooper''s expression darkened. “Jane, I only took care of you because of my rtionship with Armand


    and because you saved Genev before. She wants me to take care of you, but I''m not interested in you.


    From tomorrow onward, if you still have feelings for me, I won''t help you anymore. I''ll get Steven to


    take care of you.”


    With that, he closed the door ruthlessly.
