Chapter 1053
Elliot felt cold. The moment Avery left his arms, he was so cold he shuddered as if he were about to freeze to death. He could not let her go."Elliot, please don't torture yourself again in the future?" Avery had lost count of the number of times. "Whether you made a mistake, or I made a mistake, you have to stop torturing yourself."His breathing turned heavier. He was like a ball of fire at that moment, constantly emitting heat.Avery was worried that a fever might cause him further problems."Elliot, let me go. I'll go get medicine for you." She pushed his arms away, wanting to get up.He quickly grabbed hold of her, going up against her."Elliot, are you trying to die from sickness?!" Her arms hurt from his grab.She did not want to yell at him, but if she did not sober him up, even if she used force, she might not escape his clutches.After her yells, his grip on her lightened a little, but he still did not let her go.She sat in front of him. She could not leave him, bu

The bodyguard did not immediately realize who was that 'husband' she mentioned."Your husband? Who's your husband?" the bodyguard raised his voice and asked.Elliot could hear the bodyguard's gruff voice even though she was speaking with the bodyguard through the cell phone.Avery blushed immediately. "Who else could it be besides Elliot? We're getting married soon.""Oh! So you're not married yet but you're already referring to him as your husband?" the bodyguard teased. "Alright. Go ahead and take care of him. I'll just ignore Adrian."Had Elliot not been standing beside her, Avery would have asked the bodyguard to pass the phone to Adrian and comforted him. His presence made her wary of doing it.She looked at Elliot after hanging up.He turned his body to his side with his back facing her.She placed her cell phone down and leaned toward him."How do you feel, Elliot?" she asked, reaching out and touching his forehead.He remembered what happened the night before and so p

"You found Shea, didn't you?" He frowned and proposed another plan. "It's fine if you don't want to kill Adrian, but just in case, I'll kill Nathan's family."Avery was speechless.She could not accept what he proposed because she did not want him to kill anyone."You haven't recovered from your cold yet, Elliot. You need to rest. Don't worry about him. I'll get the bodyguards to keep watch over him in the hospital so Nathan can't get close to him for now." She lowered her eyes and persuaded softly, "We'll try and find another way once you've recovered.""Avoiding a problem won't solve it, Avery." Elliot's voice was cold. "He cannot live under the same sun as me.""Why not? Adrian won't take anything from you. He's just like Shea—someone whose status is probably less than that of a random person on the street. Were you going to kill Shea too if she was alive?" Avery questioned him with a frown."You're being unreasonable. Shea's dead, so there's no basis for your question," he re

At the hospital, Adrian was in rather low spirits because he did not see Avery that day.The bodyguard sat beside his hospital bed and was absorbed in some mobile game. Meanwhile, Adrian stared at the ceiling in a daze.It did not take long before the door of the ward was pushed open and Avery walked in.Adrian looked at her in a daze and thought he was dreaming. After all, the bodyguard had told him earlier in the morning that Avery was not coming that day."How are you feeling today, Adrian?" Avery walked up to the bed and asked.The bodyguard immediately quit the game and stood up in shock."Miss Tate? Didn't you say you were going to take care of your husband today?" The bodyguard cleared his throat awkwardly. "Why are you here? Is your husband alright? Or did you get into an argument with him?""Would it kill you to talk a little less?" Avery seemed to realize that the people around her, such as Mike and the bodyguard, frequently overstepped their boundaries.It was probab

That man was tall, thin, and possessed graceful facial features along with a timid-looking gaze. He was probably Adrian.Avery took Adrian's hand and walked to Elliot."Adrian, this is your big brother, Elliot," Avery said to Adrian.Adrian was a little scared when he looked at Elliot's stern and gloomy face, but he obediently said, "Hello, Big Br—""Don't call me that! I'm not your big brother!" Elliot interrupted him immediately. At the same time, he looked at Avery and said, "Come up here right now, Avery!"Avery knew that Elliot would be angry because she brought Adrian there without discussing it with him in advance.A discussion would have been pointless since he would never agree to let her bring Adrian there."Don't be afraid. He looks fierce, but he's actually a good person," Avery reassured him and walked upstairs.The two of them went to the second floor and entered the master bedroom."Don't be mad, Elliot. Hear me out." Avery walked up to him and looked gently at

It was shocking. Hair-raising, even!That was the first time in all his years as an adult that he found out about such a secret.He wondered if his mother knew about it, assuming that she did because it was hard to imagine that a woman would be unaware of whether her son was hers.Henry did not remember his childhood too clearly.All he remembered from back then was Elliot being brought out to receive treatment from a prodigious doctor.He was cured sometime later and brought back.Could the real Elliot have been replaced during the treatment period?How else could anyone explain why Elliot was Nathan's son?Judging from Nathan's remark, Elliot probably knew about it already.However, Elliot did not plan on doing anything about it, which showed that he was planning to continue his life as 'Elliot Foster'.After all, it would be such a privilege to be known as the Fosters' young master!One could imagine how the public would gossip behind Elliot's back if they knew that he wa

"Are you hungry, Adrian?" Mrs. Scarlet took a banana from the fruit bowl and handed it to him, "Here, have a banana! You don't have to be scared. Master Elliot won't chase you away even though he's angry."Adrian took the banana and said nervously, "He's really fierce. Is he mean to Avery?"Mrs. Scarlet laughed softly. "Not at all. The two of them are getting married soon. She wouldn't've agreed to marry him if he was mean to her."Adrian lowered his eyes and peeled the banana quietly."Avery told you to address him as Big Brother, so you should call him that if you see him later." Mrs. Scarlet wanted to help ease the relationship between Adrian and Elliot."He won't let me.""Call him that a few more times and he'll slowly begin to accept it. He'll be very nice to you once he accepts you calling him that," Mrs. Scarlet persuaded. "Enjoy your banana. I'm going to clean up your room."After Mrs. Scarlet left, Adrian raised his head and looked around him.He wondered if that woul

Avery's answer stunned Hayden for a few seconds.He was still a child, and the most he could express was his 'like' for someone, not 'love'.However, Avery said that she loved Elliot and could never love anyone else except him. There was nothing Hayden could do except accept that."Fine, I get it!" Hayden yelled as he looked at Elliot at the entrance of the stairs. He ran into his room soon after.Avery turned around and saw Elliot walking over with Layla in his arms."Don't you think you were a little too direct earlier?" Elliot blushed slightly. "What I mean by that is, do you think you are pushing him a bit too much?"Avery knew that she was a little impulsive earlier.Then again, they would have to face it sooner or later. It would be better off talking about the elephant in the room instead of pretending that it did not exist."Maybe I was a little impatient." She lowered her eyes slightly and sighed. "I don't want to have to worry about how he would react when we finall
