It looked like Elliot was not completely unprepared for the date.After the call, a honk came from outside. Tammy had arrived.Avery took her bag and left her room.At one of the mid-range neighborhoods in Creekview, Nathan and his children moved into the newly renovated unit they bought a few days ago.After acquiring the unit, Nathan and his son went to the furniture shop to buy furniture and electronics.That day was the day they officially moved in. They should be happy moving into a new house, but Nathan started worrying about the remaining money on his card. Nathan called Peter over. He wanted to discuss how they were going to get money from Elliot."If this time the deal doesn't come through, he might kill us in rage, so we have to first contact the media." Nathan furrowed his brows. He said in a scheming manner, "We might even need some self-defense tools with us. Also, Adrian, that idiot. We have to make sure he doesn't run.""It's the twelfth floor. How could he run? H
[I'm at South Devotion Plaza, F1, 2nd Floor. I'll be waiting for you.]Elliot sent her the location of their date that night. Avery saw the message and could not help but smile."Who is it from?" Tammy came over and intentionally asked, "Look at you. He only sent you a message and you're already smiling so sweetly. You two already have three children. Why does it feel like you're still on your honeymoon?"Avery blushed. She placed her phone in her bag. "So what if we have children? Haven't you seen those old couples that are still very much in love? I have.""Tsk, I haven't seen them in real life, but in a book. It was talking about how an old couple was still so much in love that they exchanged dentures. The author puts it as if they were indirectly kissing."Avery furrowed her brows. "That's not hygienic at all.""Hahaha! You're not a doctor right now! Does that mean, according to you, if a man and a woman kiss, it's also unhygienic?"Avery was speechless.At the Creekview
How could Adrian the idiot die? How could he have died!The ambulance rushed to the neighborhood ten minutes later. Adrian was being put on the stretcher and entered the lift. About 15 minutes later, he was sent to the nearby hospital. It was Memorial Day that day. The streets were filled with crowds. Everyone was celebrating their long weekend. No one paid attention to the fact that a so-called idiot was trying to use this in the search for freedom.At the emergency room. After Adrian was pushed in, the doors were shut. After two hours of resuscitation, the doctor rescued Adrian back from the brim of death. Just when the doctor was about to inform his parents, Adrian reached his hands out and grabbed the doctor by the coat."Doctor…" Adrian said feebly."What is it? Are you feeling alright?" The doctor held his hand and asked."Help me look for…Avery Tate. She is my doctor. I want to see her." Since Adrian was rather weak, talking made him sweat."Who are you looking for?" The
A moment ago, a doctor called Avery said that a patient called Adrian White was looking for her. The doctor wondered if she could make a trip to the hospital.When Avery heard Adrian's name, she did not even think about it before agreeing to it.She was worried about it during the journey there. Was Adrian sick? If it was not serious, he would not have been sent to the hospital. Why was it the doctor who contacted her but not Nathan?Who told the doctor to contact her? It was not Nathan. If Nathan wanted to contact her, he did not need to go through the doctor. At that thought, Avery furrowed her brows tightly.At the hospital, Adrian was transferred to a normal ward. When Nathan found out that Adrian deliberately swallowed his antihypertensive drugs to poison himself, he was furious.That idiot knew how to swallow pills to take his life! Nathan was not going to let Adrian die, even if Adrian wanted to!If Adrian were to die, how could Nathan use him to threaten Elliot? How was
How could that happen?!"Avery, hold up!" Nathan chased after her and grabbed her by the arm. "Don't you dare bully me! Don't back me up against a corner! I know all of Elliot's secrets! If you don't want me to go up against him, don't force me! I want Adrian to be with me only so I can get some money from Elliot! I don't want his life! I don't want to kill Adrian too!"Avery clenched her fists tightly. She said coldly, "If you want to look for Elliot for money, go look for him, but I can't hand Adrian back to you. What if he continues trying to take his life when he is back with you? I treated him with such difficulty. I can't let him risk this."Her words made Nathan have murderous intentions against her.However, it was the hospital. There were many onlookers. Nathan could not do it there.At the South Devotion Plaza.Elliot has prepared everything. He only needed Avery to arrive. Jun sent him a message saying that Tammy and Avery have parted ways. Avery should reach him soon.
Why was Avery's phone switched off? Did something happen to her or did her battery run out? She said that she was picking a gift for him. It would not have taken two hours, right?Elliot could not get to her, so he could only dial her bodyguard.The bodyguard picked up his call."I didn't hear Miss Tate's phone ring!" The bodyguard said, "She's at the hospital, but she's not sick. Someone was admitted to the hospital and she's with them now.""Who is it?" Elliot's voice sounded tight.The bodyguard hesitated for a while before saying, "It's not for me to say, but it's a man.""Even if you don't tell me, I'll find it out." Elliot's voice darkened. He said sternly, "Tell me!"The bodyguard swallowed his saliva. He said hesitatingly, "T-The patient is called A-Adrian White."When Elliot heard Adrian's name, coldness rose in his heart. Avery went to be with Adrian, which was why she did not come for the date.Also, she lied to him saying that she was picking a gift for him. Turn
Upon her words, Adrian let her go, but he looked at her with tears falling down his face.Avery saw him in that state and she did not dare to leave. She went over to grab her bag. She found her phone and wanted to make a call to Elliot.She pressed the button, but her screen was black. She did not know when her phone battery ran out."Please lend me your phone," Avery said to the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately unlocked his phone and passed it to her. She keyed in Elliot's phone number and dialed.She was quickly thinking of ways to explain to him why she could not make it for the date. She was afraid it was not possible to lie to him anymore. She could only come clean.The call was connected but no one picked up. After the system automatically disconnected the call, she returned the phone to the bodyguard."Can you help me get a charger from the nurses? My phone ran out of battery," Avery said to the bodyguard."I'll go ask and see." The bodyguard left.Once the bodyguard
"Where's my gift?" Elliot's hoarse voice rang out.His voice sounded soft, but it was penetrative. Those three words shocked Avery."Why did you lie to me?" Elliot looked at Avery's stunned face coldly.It was not as if he could not bear that she put him aside to go to the hospital to take care of Adrian, but it was more about the condition that she was honest with him."I'm sorry, Elliot," Avery took a deep breath. She tried to reach her hand out once again and grabbed his arm. "Don't stay under the rain. You'll catch a cold."He pushed her hand away once more."Where's that man?" Elliot's tone was cold and frigid. Under the rain, his expressions seemed even more miserable. "Why don't you continue staying in the hospital to take care of him?""He's asleep." Words seemed to get stuck in her throat. She explained, "He swallowed a whole bottle of antihypertensive drugs. He almost died. If he wasn't rescued in time he would have died.""It's best if he died!" Elliot's tone was har
