The bodyguard and doctor immediately took Elliot away.Avery sat on the bed, hugging her knees close to her chest, sobbing loudly.Time drew her deeper into the night, clearing her mind. She could hear regret screaming in her heart.She heard the whirring and rumbling of the helicopter on the rooftop. Soon, the droning of the helicopter disappeared into the night. She heard footsteps outside her door, but she did not look up. She did not care who it was that wanted to enter her room. The individual came in, walked over to her bed and covered Avery with a clean set of blankets. He picked up the dagger that was still covered in blood. "Miss Tate. I gave you this dagger to protect yourself, not commit murder," Nick said helplessly, "I'll have to take this dagger back."Avery sobbed out loud. "I did try to kill him, but I didn't dare to do it.""Well, you did provoke him," Nick said calmly. "The result was the same as stabbing the dagger into his heart yourself. What difference

Avery saw the news on her screen. She began to hyperventilate."Has Elliot died?"How could that be? How could he have died so easily?" she thought. She had stopped his bleeding. The helicopter had taken him directly to the hospital. They would have rushed him to the emergency room, so how could they not have successfully resuscitated him? "Could he have moved about on the helicopter and tore the bandages? Or did he not allow the doctor to save him once he reached the hospital?" she wondered.Avery sniffled. She could not stop her tears from falling. No matter what had happened, Elliot was dead! He was dead! The doctors could rescue a patient in danger, but they could not resurrect the dead!Last night, when she had wanted to murder him, she had thought that killing him would set her free, but why was her heart aching so badly now that she got news of his death? …On the internet, other media outlets began publishing their own takes on his death. [Tribute to Elliot Fost

Mike picked up a cup of water. "What happened to your boss? Please don't come looking for Avery every time he is in trouble—""He's dead." Chad felt uncomfortable.With a puff, Mike spurted water from his mouth. "Are you pulling my leg? Did you just say he died? How did he die?""I don't know. The internet said that he's dead."Mike was speechless. Seeing how Chad was almost in tears, he immediately placed the cup of water down and headed to his room."Don't worry. Let me ask Avery. I was on the phone with her yesterday afternoon. She said that her injury was not that bad anymore. She should be able to return in a few days. She didn't say that anything had happened to Elliot—""It happened early morning today." Chad followed Mike into his room. "We can't get to him or his bodyguard. I have been working with him for so many years. This is the first time that this has happened."Mike got his phone and called Avery. At the same time, he put it on loudspeaker.It was some time befo

At the mansion in the forest, Mike stopped the car and immediately walked over to the door. The bodyguard stopped him."I'm here to get Avery!" Mike said. "Your boss has died. Perhaps, you should start thinking about your next job." The bodyguard was stunned.At the staircase, the nanny was helping Avery down the stairs. Avery was leaving the place.Elliot died and Avery wanted to see him for the last time.When Mike saw Avery, he pushed the bodyguard away and strode in."Avery! I'm here to take you home!" Mike took over from the nanny and supported Avery.After helping Avery into the car, Mike looked at her leg. She was wearing loose pajamas, so he could not see her injury."You were limping just now, so I find it hard to believe that your injury are almost healed." Mike started the car with a frown. "I'll send you to the hospital once we get back downtown."Avery held onto the seatbelt with both hands. She felt lost."Avery. His lawyer… won't find faults with you, right?"

Would they need to visit their Dad's grave now that he was dead?"Go if you want. I'm not going," Hayden said coldly before returning to his classroom."Hayden, woo, woo… I miss Mommy. When is she coming back?" Layla quickly chased after him and held his arm."She should be back soon." Hayden had a feeling.Elliot was dead. Her Mommy did not need to worry about anything anymore.…Mike drove to Elizabeth Hospital and handed Avery to Wesley.When Avery saw Wesley, she asked, "Which hospital is he at?"Wesley replied, "At General Hospital. The latest news that I got was that they are still trying to resuscitate him. Don't worry." Wesley helped her onto the bed.After a while, Avery slowly came to her senses. "Wesley, did you say he is not dead?"Wesley sighed. "He had a cardiac arrest, but they've resuscitated him. They're still trying to make sure that he's alright."Avery let out a sigh of relief.Wesley pushed her to the emergency room. He used a pair of scissors and cut

The estate attorney looked at how confident Ben looked. He said, "After Mr. Foster's mother passed away, he had instructed me to make some changes."Ben said, "Oh?"The estate attorney said, "I'm not drinking nor am I having dinner. If there is any progress with Mr. Foster's condition, please inform me at once."Ben replied, "Okay, then. I'll walk you out."After the estate attorney left, he looked at the time. Without knowing it, it was already seven in the evening....After sleeping soundly for quite some time, Avery finally woke up. She was still in a daze. "Avery, let's go home!" Mike noticed that she was awake and said, "I just returned from General Hospital. Elliot isn't dead. He has been transferred into ICU. The media has crossed the line. Elliot isn't even dead and yet, they're so quick to declare him dead!" Mike helped Avery up. Avery returned to her senses immediately. "What time is it?"Mike helped Avery into the wheelchair. "It's almost eight. Are you hungry?

Ben stood by the bed and spoke to him.Elliot's face remained blank and emotionless despite Ben's words. Ben understood why.Elliot even dared to kill himself. Was there anything else that he could not let go of? There would be someone to take care of Shea even if he died.A moment later, the doctor arrived. After examining Elliot, the doctor said, "Mr. Foster, you're very weak. You need to stay in the hospital for treatment. If you feel any discomfort, please let me know immediately."Elliot closed his eyes.Ben dragged the doctor outside to talk to him."He should have passed the critical phase, right?" Ben asked.The doctor replied, "As long as he cooperates and follows the treatment plan, he'll be fine. However, he doesn't want to live, and that isn't good for him."Ben pursed his lips. "I'll think of something."An hour later, Ben brought Shea to the hospital. "Shea, your brother is terribly hurt. Could you go comfort him, please?"Shea blinked her eyes and furrowe

Tammy was afraid that Avery would misunderstand, and she immediately added, "Avery, if he doesn't want to come, that's up to him, but you have to come! You're my best friend. If you're not coming, I won't get married."Avery said, "I'll attend your wedding."Tammy let out a sigh of relief. "That's awesome! I heard you injured your leg. How is it? I had always thought of contacting you, but Elliot was still in bad shape then, and I was afraid that you would be in a bad mood. So, I didn't contact you.""My leg is much better.""That's good to hear. Let's go shopping tomorrow!""It did not heal very well." Avery looked at the injury on her leg. It was no longer wrapped in bandages, and the scar looked bad. Thankfully, she had bought quite a few long skirts in the past. So, she could easily hide the scar. "Then I'll come to visit you tomorrow. Don't worry. I won't ask you anything regarding Elliot," Tammy promised."Hmm."The next morning, before the two children headed for kind

At that moment, the guest that Avery mentioned arrived.A black Buick multi-purpose vehicle pulled up at the entrance.The car doors opened, and two bodyguards stepped out of the car. Tammy watched the commotion outside."Who is he? Why did he bring so many people along?!"Avery got up from the sofa. When she walked pass Tammy, she answered, "Eric Santos."After a few months of rehabilitation, Eric could finally stand up. He, accompanied by his family, came to pay Avery a visit. He wanted to thank her in person. Eric was dressed in black and white sportswear with a cap on his head. His face was covered by a mask and sunglasses.At one glance, it was difficult for others to see his facial features. However, his statuesque figure and charisma made him stand out from the rest of the crowd. He looked stunning!"Avery, can I scream?!" Tammy's body trembled a little.Avery said, "It's best you not. I'm afraid that neighbors would call the police."Tammy suppressed the urge.Eric

At noon, Eric had lunch at Avery's before leaving."Avery, go and rest, and then go for your physical examination in the afternoon. I'll take the kids out for some fun. What do you think about that?" Tammy had noticed that the weather was rather pleasant. She did not want to stay home. "I'll bring the kids back home by six."Avery saw how much the children wanted to go out. Naturally, she did not disagree with Tammy's suggestion."Tammy, would it be troublesome for you?"Tammy said, "It's no trouble. They are not babies that I need to carry. I'm not tired at all if it's taking them out to play!" Avery got the bodyguard to follow them. After sending them off, Avery returned to the house and shut the main door.There was a white box on the coffee table in the living area. Eric had left it behind. It was his gift to her.He said that it was his lucky charm. It was not anything expensive. He only hoped that it would bring her luck.Avery could not bear to refuse him, as the gift w
