Chapter 1101
Elliot was so shocked that his back broke into a cold sweat.He had been sitting by the bed and eating the lollipop in pain as he scrolled through his phone when a sudden shriek came from behind him. Who would be able to handle that kind of shock?He brought the half-eaten lollipop over to Avery."Why did you wake up so quickly?" He saw the anger in her eyes, then cooed, "I was worried it would melt, so I helped you eat some of it.""Why didn't you just wake me?" Avery snatched the lollipop over and took a big bite. "I told you I was hot but you still ate it. Couldn't you have just asked the butler to send up another one?""Don't eat too much of that stuff." Elliot caressed Avery's forehead. "Do you still feel dizzy?""I do!" Avery frowned. "Eating something cold like this helps.""There's some soup that can help you sober up. Do you want some?""I'll have it later." Avery glanced at the insulated container. It was a pretty little pink container. "What kind of soup is it?""I'

At eleven that morning, Avery was awakened by a sudden pang of hunger.When she woke up and saw the empty room, she was slightly confused.Her temples were aching. She tried to recall the events of the night before, but her headache was so bad that she could not remember a thing.She got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.In the living room, Mrs. Cooper was feeding Robert.When she saw Avery, Mrs. Cooper immediately said, "You're awake, Avery? Does your head hurt? Do you want some painkillers?"Avery shook her head. She had a headache, but it was something she could endure."Where's Elliot? Why can't I find him?" she asked as she glanced around the villa.However, she was not as worried as she was when she did not see him for even a moment yesterday.After all, the wedding was over. They also increased security, so he should be safe."He went out this morning. He said he had to stop by the police station," said Mrs. Copper. "Give him a call if you're worried about him.

Elliot's deep voice instantly calmed Avery down."I'm fine… I heard you went to the police station this morning. What happened?" she asked."Nathan White said he was the one who killed Eason Foster," he explained. "He came to the station to turn himself in this morning, so I came to take a look."Avery was stunned.Nathan was the one who killed Eason Foster?How did this happen?"I'll be back soon. I'll talk to you then," Elliot said, then hung up the phone.Avery held her phone in her hand and walked out of the room in a faze.If Nathan really was the one who murdered Eason Foster, then this had nothing to do with Elliot!People would stop chastising Elliot, too.This was amazing news for Elliot, but why did Nathan willingly turn himself in?Did he suddenly grow a conscience after seeing Elliot suffer?Elliot returned to the villa shortly after.When Avery saw him, she immediately asked, "What's going on? Why would Nathan willingly surrender like that? Who made him turn h

"Do you remember what happened after you got drunk last night, Avery?" Elliot casually switched the subject.Avery's face instantly flushed a crimson red."Mrs. Cooper already told me about it. You don't have to bring it up again.""You told me that three kids weren't enough for you, and that you wanted to have three more." Elliot chuckled lightly as he gazed at her reddened cheeks. "You said you wanted to have more kids for as long as you can. I said that would make you a sow, then…"Avery was shocked to the core by his absurd words."Then, you began to snort like a pig and even asked me if you did well." At this point, Elliot could no longer hold back his laughter. "If you dare get drunk ever again, I'm taking a video of the entire thing.""You're just making all of this up since I don't remember anything, right? How could I possibly want thirty kids? I wouldn't spout nonsense like that no matter how drunk I was!" Avery said with certainty."Do you still want to go on our hone

Lilith's eyes were reddened with tears."My brother left. He said he didn't want to stay here for another second longer, but I didn't want to go with him. He won't take care of me at all. I'm better off staying here… Dad told me yesterday that Elliot Foster will take care of me."Ben heard what she said, but he still did not understand. "If you're not leaving, then why are you here with your suitcase?"Lilith sobbed and said, "My brother sold off the house. I have nowhere else to go now. He gave me some money, but I'm all by myself. I'm so scared! Please take me to Elliot Foster. I don't know how to contact him."Ben was speechless.Elliot had already handed this matter over to him to deal with, so he could not possibly bring Lilith to see Elliot.Elliot had no relationship whatsoever with the White family siblings.He had simply planned to send them a monthly allowance to fulfill Nathan's request."Elliot just got married, so he's very busy right now. Just let me know if you h

"Are you really not going to the hospital to get some scans done?" Avery gazed at Elliot with concern."I'm fine." He was sure about his physical condition. These were nothing but external injuries.He had yelped out in pain last night because Avery's so-called "light touch" was not light at all."You better be fine. Otherwise, if your health worsens when we're in Roburg, you're the one who's going to suffer. They don't have the best medical facilities there," Avery said, then could not help but pack more medical supplies in her suitcase."Rich people exist even in the poorest countries. As long as the wealthy exist, there would definitely be medical facilities to match. Even if it's a private hospital, they'd be able to treat a typical, small injury," Elliot said as he took the emergency first aid kit out of the suitcase. "Are you wishing for me to get sick by bringing all of these medical supplies?"Avery was rendered speechless by his words."Bring some more pretty dresses. Th

Elliot frowned. He probably did not feel very good about the situation.On the way to the airport, he and Avery began to discuss the matter."We shouldn't allow Eric to spend too much time with Layla in the future. What if he has impure intentions?" Elliot said sternly with furrowed brows."Do you know the age difference between them, Elliot? They're almost twenty years apart!" Avery said."It's only a fifteen-year gap," Elliot said. "I once read an article about a couple with a fifty-one-year age gap, and they got married! Do you really think that a mere fifteen-year gap could stop Eric from having any impure intentions toward our daughter?"Avery was speechless."I know you trust him, but he's still a man after all. Besides, Layla is so beautiful—""Listen, Elliot. If Eric really wants to become my son-in-law, I would have no objections. However, none of this will be up for discussion before Layla is of age. If they still have a good relationship by then and are set on spendin

When Avery entered the drugstore, she saw the familiar silhouette flash by and enter the bathroom.She turned back anxiously to check if Elliot noticed anything.He was waiting for her at the drugstore's entrance at first, but when Avery turned back, she saw him walking into the store.She instantly felt nervous and uneasy but maintained her composure.For some reason, she was afraid of letting Elliot see Wesley.Avery felt afraid of having Elliot meet Wesley. Her worry did not stem solely from what he said, but it also came from the unshakable feeling she had of them getting into a fight if they met. "I'd like some medication for bruises and some painkillers. Please also get me a bottle of iodine," Avery said to the store clerk once Elliot was standing behind her.Elliot raised his brows and asked, "Why are you buying so much medicine?""I want to try out the medicine here." Avery forced a smile. "What if their medicine is good?""You're using me as a guinea pig.""It's not
