"It's our date, why would I bring him along?" Tammy poured a glass of wine and handed it to her. "What did you do last night? You have really bad dark circles under your eyes." Avery raised her glass and took a sip, "I stayed up late last night watching dramas!""You wish I believe that. Fess up, you have the fakest forced smile plastered across your face," Tammy said. "Are you still into Elliot, and that is why you couldn't sleep?"Avery almost spat out her wine. "Tammy, do I look so gullible?"Tammy nodded vigorously, "Although you make a lot of money, you're still really gullible."Ben was pouring Elliot a glass of wine at their table in the corner of the restaurant. This was the only high-class restaurant closest to the hospital. "Elliot, I won't ask about you and Shea. I asked you out to have a drink with you," Ben said. "By the way, is Dr. Sanford that serves you really that good?"Elliot took the wine glass and took a sip, "She performed the operation on Shea, but she

There was still plenty of wine in her glass and rice in her bowl.If he had not shown up, she would not have excused herself. "You both enjoy your meal. I'll go." Once he finished the sentence, he stretched his long legs and walked away.Ben immediately followed him with the wine glasses still in hand. "Elliot! Wait for me!"Tammy gave Avery a thumbs up, "Avery, you're still the best."Avery gave her an innocent look, "He wanted to leave.""Hahaha! I think he still has feelings for you," Tammy picked up her glass and clinked it against Avery's. "His love for you is clearly reflected in his eyes." "Tammy, you should watch less of those idol dramas. You'll easily become stupider from watching too much." "Didn't you say you stayed up late last night to watch dramas?""I didn't say I was watching an idol drama." Avery took a sip of wine and continued slowly, "I'm just living my life. I will not put men and romance above my person." Tammy agreed, "Avery, you're right! It is cl

"I don't know her," Shea was showing her dislike for Zoe. "I've never seen her… I don't know her…" "You fainted, and you were taken to the hospital. So, you haven't seen her till now," explained Elliot. 'Fainted?' she thought. Shea cried, "No! No!"The last thing she remembered was Avery's face. She had been lying in bed with a fever, and Avery had been talking to her. She could not remember what had been said. However, she vaguely remembered Avery's gentle eyes and gentle voice. They comforted her greatly. Her emotional outburst caused her head to throb and tears flowed from her eyes. It felt almost as if her head was being torn apart. "Shea, does it hurt? Close your eyes and don't think about anything. When you fall asleep, it won't be so painful." Elliot wiped away the tears on her face with a tissue and then patted her shoulder, coaxing her to sleep.She had just had brain surgery and needed more rest.After coaxing her to sleep, Elliot came out of the ward.Zoe

Ben tugged at Elliot's arm and they walked toward the emergency exit."Elliot, you obviously still care for Avery. Why do you always act so irrationally? This, Shea. No matter how beautiful she is, are you sure she can compare to Avery?" Ben wanted Elliot to wake up to reality. "No one is more important than Shea!" Elliot shouted sharply."Did Avery divorce you because of this?" Ben asked him."Yes!""If that's the case, Avery is not at fault! What is there for you to be sad about? It's you who disappointed her!" Ben rarely spoke to him this forcefully. "As your friend, I won't judge you for who you choose to fall in love with. I just want you—" "Then like Avery, you too should leave!" said Elliot, cutting him off. "I don't need an outsider meddling in my personal affairs!" He used the word 'outsider'.Ben exhaled heavily.Fine!If he chose to be so obsessed, he would regret it later!Avery was single now, but it did not mean that she would stay single forever.Hopefully

She was holding a little girl in one arm, and there was another one in her other arm!He began to doubt himself.Avery's face could not be seen clearly in the surveillance footage.He suspected that this woman who looked like Avery was not Avery!Otherwise, why did she have two children by her side?Avery had no children!He watched the surveillance video several times.The more his suspicions grew, the more awake he became!He copied the short video and closed the notebook.It was too early for him to confirm the identity of the woman and children. When it was dawn, he would ask Avery himself!At six in the morning, Shea woke up.When she woke up, she got out of the hospital bed.She walked to the side of the escort bed, reached out, and tugged at Elliot’s large hand."Brother… Brother…"Elliot suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes."Brother, let's go," Shea did not want to stay in the hospital; she wanted to leave this place.Elliot got up immediately.He had slept on

Avery felt suffocated as if someone was strangling her. It had never crossed her mind that her two children would go to the hospital to look for her. Moreover, she did not expect Elizabeth Hospital to give out the security footage when they had promised her they would not do so.Elliot had always been a suspicious person. Avery knew Elliot would investigate the person who brought Shea to the hospital. However, there was one thing that he would not have known. Shea was brought to the hospital the day before yesterday instead of yesterday. Hence, no matter how much of yesterday's security footage Elliot watched, he would not see that Avery was the one who brought Shea to the hospital."Elliot, we’re divorced. It's none of your business whether or not I was at Elizabeth Hospital yesterday or however many children I was carrying or holding," said Avery with a stern voice after calming herself down. "They are not your children. I could never have a child with you. Don't you remember you

The best way to avoid Zoe asking for other types of repayment—giving a large sum of money.Zoe was shocked. "Mr. Foster, please don't. Shea's condition requires more than one surgery. You should know that even though her intelligence has improved, it has only improved by a little. After she recovers from this operation, if you want to continue giving her the treatment, there may be a second, third, or more operations in the future."As Elliot listened to Zoe's explanation, he kept silent. Zoe came here this time to cure Shea on her annual leave. She might not have so much time in the future."Doctor Sanford, what's your future plan for your career?" Elliot asked.Without a doubt, Elliot wanted her to continue the treatment for Shea. If her IQ could allow her to take care of herself, that would be the best.Zoe understood why Elliot asked such a question. He wanted her to continue treating Shea but she might not have the time to stay in Avonsville in the future.Zoe answered, "Mr.

Avery massaged her temples with her fingers. She thought that she would not be affected by his affairs anymore after getting a divorce. So why did her heart still feel hurt? Since Elliot cared about Shea so much, why could he not just focus on Shea and be together with Shea forever? After giving it some thought, Avery found her answer very quickly. She did not care which woman he was with. She just could not accept that he was such a scumbag. It was hard to admit that she fell in love with a scumbag as it would make her question herself about her choice in men."Avery, are you alright?" asked Tammy worriedly, "I shouldn't have told you. But if I didn't tell you, you would still find out eventually.""I'm alright," said Avery as she picked up the glass of water and took a drink."This is his choice. As long as he is happy with it," Avery continued to say."Jun said it was a request from Zoe. Her treatment was quite effective. Elliot wanted to pay her but she doesn't want any money

"Dinner's ready. Go wash your hands," said Laura as she walked out of the kitchen.Avery immediately brought the two children to wash their hands.It was 9:00 p.m., Hayden was in the children's room when he had his eyes opened, wondering about what Avery had said to him earlier in the evening."Layla," Hayden called out to his sister."Hayden, you are still awake too? I'm scared. Elliot is so handsome, but he is a bad person. Sob, sob, sob. Why does he want to strangle us?" Layla stretched out her hands hoping her brother would hug her so she would feel safe.Hayden told Layla his speculation, "Maybe he is our father.""What?" Layla shouted in surprise."Layla, we need to take matters into our own hands. We need to find the truth." Hayden decided with a plan in mind."What should we do, Hayden?" Layla asked while she looked at Hayden with her big round eyes."Go to sleep first," said Hayden.…The next morning, the internet of the Sterling Group broke down. The network secur

Elliot had reached the administrative department of Angela Special Needs Academy. He was reading Hayden's information after requesting for it.Name: Hayden TateMother: Avery TateAge: Four years and three months oldWhen Elliot saw Avery's name, it shocked him deeply.The boy who stepped on him was actually Avery's son! In addition, the boy was already four years old. He and Avery had been separated for four years too. If the boy was Avery's son, it meant that Avery was pregnant when she left.Elliot's body shivered as he held the information in his hand.The administrative manager was unsure about what was happening and asked carefully, "Mr. Foster, what's wrong with this boy? Did he do anything wrong?"Elliot swallowed his saliva and said with a hoarse voice, "Bring me to see this boy!"The manager said awkwardly, "This boy did not attend school today. Why are you looking for him? I can call his mother."Elliot said, "No need!"With Hayden's information in his hands, Elliot
