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.

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

"I don't want to go in. I'll stay here for as long as the time he spent waiting for me," Avery choked up.The server saw how thin she was. He was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he immediately arranged for someone to bring over a parasol.Then, the server brought a thick blanket over and placed it on her shoulder."Miss Tate, I have already informed the kitchen to serve the dishes. Why don't you have some food and then leave! You should go ask Mr. Foster for forgiveness rather than stay here."Soon, dishes after dishes of good food were served.When Avery saw the intricately made food on the table, she finally understood why Elliot would be so angry. She thought that the date that night was just another ordinary date. It was clearly not!He had invited a famous pianist to perform. There was also such a beautiful light show. The dinner was so intricate it was top-tier. How could it be a normal date?"Miss Tate, please uncover this dish on your own." The server pointed at t

Mrs. Scarlet hesitated for a while before turning around to get the key.If Elliot and Avery were not about to get married, she would never dare to get the key for Avery.Even though Elliot respected Mrs. Scarlet a lot, he did not treat her as a servant, but Mrs. Scarlet would not dare to do such a thing that crossed the line.If Mrs. Scarlet made a mistake that crossed Elliot's bottom line, Elliot would surely fire her.Mrs. Scarlet would only dare to take such a risk to give Avery the spare key because she was sure that Avery was the future mistress of the house.After Mrs. Scarlet passed Avery the key, she sized her up. "Avery, go take a shower. Don't catch a cold. I'll go get you some clothes."Avery held the key tightly in her hands. She glanced upstairs. She did not know what Elliot was doing at that moment. She did not know if she were to enter his room without permission, whether he would chase her out.At the same moment, in a different place, Henry and Cole were still

"Oh, you're right. How could my uncle be Nathan's son? Elliot…" At that, Cole went to take Nathan's photo and looked at it closely.The photo was a screenshot of the surveillance footage at the restaurant when he was with Henry the other day, so the photo was a little blurry. Only a rough facial feature could be seen."Dad, don't you think that Elliot does look quite a bit like Nathan?" Cole passed Nathan's photo to Henry. "If you don't think about it, you won't find them alike, but once you think about it, they do look quite alike."Henry looked at Nathan's photo for a while. His expressions froze on his face.Henry had never compared Elliot's looks with Nathan's before. Once he heard Cole mention it, he did feel that they looked alike."If Nathan has an especially amazing son that could rule over Aryadelle, why do I feel like Elliot has all the characteristics that he mentioned?" Cole said confusedly, "Other wealthy people don't look like Nathan at all. Only Elliot."Henry was
