Chapter 1114
Avery felt like all the energy was sucked out of her body and she almost lost her balance.She had specifically told Wesley that afternoon that Elliot was looking for him. "Why can't he hide a little better if he did not want Elliot to find him?" thought Avery. She closely examined Elliot's face to see if there were any new injuries."Why are you looking at me like that?" Elliot led Avery over to the bed and made her sit. "I took Wesley's postcard to the local post office earlier and asked the staff there to check the surveillance cameras based on the date and time that the postcard was mailed. They just contacted me and told me that they found footage of the sender, so I headed over and saw Wesley."His explanation was a huge relief to Avery."So, when you said you saw Wesley, you meant that you saw him on surveillance footage?""Yes. Did you think I actually saw him in real life? If that was the case, then I wouldn't come back here by myself, would I?" Elliot tapped Avery ligh

"Okay! Go ahead and call Uncle Eric now, then!"Avery ended the video call, then called Eric.When the call was answered, she pondered for a moment, then said, "Layla told me that Elliot said something bad about you earlier, Eric… I don't know exactly what he said, but I think I have an idea. Please don't stoop down to his level. He loves Layla too much and ended up thinking up this nonsense. He thinks that, apart from him, all men in the world have impure intentions toward Layla.""I've never gotten along with him anyway," Eric said. "Nothing he says will affect my relationship with you and Layla.""That's good. Did you guys have a good time diving today?""It was pretty fun. I'll send the photos over to you later.""Alright."The door to the bathroom suddenly burst open and Elliot walked out.Avery did not expect him to finish bathing so soon."Didn't you say you were hungry, Avery? Let's go have dinner!" Elliot guessed who she was on the phone with, so he deliberately walke

In the afternoon, Avery had switched the phone from vibrate to silent.Elliot's back was facing her, so he did not notice her picking up her phone. Wesley sent her a message, saying that he was leaving Roburg the next day,Avery immediately replied, [Let's meet before you leave tomorrow! You pick a place and time. I'll try to find a way to see you.]"Avery, can't I get wet tomorrow? Then, what are we doing tomorrow? If I can't get wet at the beach, there's not much fun," said Elliot as he sat on the bed. He was rather glum. "We can just walk around and look at things. As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy.""Hmm.""Let's see tomorrow!" Avery felt that Wesley was most likely not going to refuse her request, so she had to find a way to distract Elliot the next day to meet Wesley.Elliot was a slightly more paranoid person. Finding a way to properly distract him was a challenge. The only time she could really meet Wesley was while he was having his nap."Are you sure you want me

"We are all ordinary people," said Elliot, "I know that I, and only I, matter to you, but if I see you with other men, I can't help but get jealous." He tried comparing the things people do to his own behavior in hopes that she will get his meaning. "You could make such a heavy topic so interesting. You're amazing," Avery praised him. An idea came to her. "Let's stay out a little longer! The night view is gorgeous.""Didn't you say that you were tired today?"Avery was stunned for a while before changing her tone, "Then, let's wake up earlier to see the sunrise tomorrow! It should be gorgeous!"Elliot said, "Are you sure you want to get up early to see the sunrise?"Avery nodded and said firmly, "I have never seen a sunrise before. Let's wake up early tomorrow morning to see the sunrise!"Elliot was not interested in the sunrise, but seeing how eager Avery was, he agreed to it.They were outside for a while before returning to their room. Since they had to get up early the next

At five-thirty in the morning, they came out of the hotel and ran straight to the beach.At that time, there was no one at the beach. Avery dragged Elliot along and sat down at the beach. She wrapped a blanket that she had brought along around herself. She leaned her head on his shoulders, looking straight ahead where the sea meets the sky."Do you feel that this moment is extremely gorgeous and romantic like we're in a film?"Elliot did not have enough sleep. His eyes were bloodshot. When he replied to her questions, he felt as if his soul was leaving his body."Are you really not tired? Avery, tell me the truth.""Of course, I'm… a little tired, but for the sunrise, it is worth it. We can go back and sleep after the sunrise." She was afraid that he would fall asleep, so she reached out and pinched his shoulders.It was only after she had pinched his shoulders that she recalled that he was injured on his shoulders.Elliot was in so much pain he gasped."Elliot, I'm sorry! I

Elliot did indeed plan to rest, but from what Avery said, it seemed as if she was not planning to join him."What about you?""I'm planning to head out to see if there are any water-resistant band-aids. If there are, you can go surfing tomorrow." Avery gave him her prepared excuse.Elliot thought about what she said for a few seconds before nodding. "I'll get the bodyguard to go with you."Avery could not refuse him. They were in a foreign place. It was impossible for her to find a reason to head out alone.Elliot returned to the room to lie down. Avery went into the toilet to send Wesley a message, asking him to meet her at the pharmacy.A moment later, she took her bag and left.The bodyguard accompanied her, and he kept close by her side."Madam, you look spirited," the bodyguard teased.Avery said, "If you're tired, go back and rest.""I'm not tired. I just don't understand why you want to torment Mr. Foster," The bodyguard said sarcastically, "What is nice about the sunr

"This person, Adrian, what is his situation like?" Wesley asked curiously."He is like Shea. I had operated on him once. He is recovering well." Avery had hope and despair in her heart at the same time. "If I were to tell him about Shea's condition, he would surely help her out."She did not doubt Adrian's kindness, but she was worried that Elliot would not let her see Adrian.Henry and Elliot had completely cut ties, so though this matter seemed simple, it was extremely challenging. No matter how hard it was, Avery was planning to fight for it."Wesley, I will find a suitable kidney donor for Shea. When you return, please stay with Shea, don't come out to work anymore," Avery said and took a bank card out from her bag. She passed it to him. "Shea becoming like this is not only your responsibility, so you must not refuse me."Wesley accepted the card. At the same time, he voiced his concerns, "Adrian is with Henry right now, right? Will it be easy for you to get to him?""Henry

"Elliot, I'm sorry. I know that you have half a month off, and we were only here for less than five days, but I really miss our children." Avery hugged him and apologized in a hoarse voice."It's fine. I miss the children too." Elliot patted her back and consoled her, "Once the children are older, we can take them along.""Hmm." Avery sighed as relief filled her heart.Three days later, they returned to Aryadelle. Elliot's injuries have more or less healed, but the wounds on the face were still obvious.His wedding leave was not over yet, so he decided to stay home until it was done."Are you heading out?" He saw Avery holding her bag walking to the entrance and putting on shoes."Yes, I bought something for Tammy, I'm going to give it to her now." Avery smiled. "I'll be back for dinner, but if I'm not back at night, don't wait up."Elliot furrowed his brows. "Didn't you say you miss the children? You're going to see your best friend once we touch down. It doesn't look like you
