"Why don't you get someone to kidnap Adrian!" said Tammy, proposing her idea. "If you were to talk to Henry and Cole, they would surely not let go of the opportunity to extort you for money. You would rather send the bodyguard over to take Adrian!"Avery was stunned by Tammy's idea."Tammy, we are in a lawful society. Even if Henry doesn't have the money, they still have connections. Furthermore, if I were to get the bodyguard to take Adrian, Elliot would hear about this. His injuries from a week ago have not completely healed. I don't want him to be threatened by Henry because of Shea.""Okay. Then, they will surely ask you for money," Tammy warned her, "Also, the amount that they will be asking will surely be a huge one. I'm not sure you can satisfy them.""We'll talk more once I see Henry! If I can't make a deal with them, I'll find another way. Although the direct relative's match for a suitable kidney would be much higher, a stranger's kidney would have a certain chance too."

Avery shook her head without thinking twice. "I just can't stay any longer in Roburg.""Why?" Elliot asked."That day, you told me you saw Wesley. After that, every time I close my eyes, I would dream about Wesley and Shea."At that, she said bitterly, "The honeymoon should be a happy one, but every time I wake up from my dreams, I feel extremely sad."Elliot hugged her in his arms and consoled her gently, "You should have told me about it.""Telling you about it would only make you feel sad," Avery said hoarsely, "Elliot, come with me to Bridgedale to see Hayden after this! I'm a bit tired these few days.""Okay," Elliot agreed. "Call Hayden later and explain it to him.""Hmm."She had taken out the things she had bought on her shopping trip with Tammy. There were clothes for her children and some snacks.Layla glanced at the new clothes. She pulled Avery along and said excitedly, "Mommy! I have a surprise for you!"Avery quickly collected her emotions. "What is it?"Layl

"Hayden, I want to apologize to you." Avery looked at Hayden's groggy appearance and said, "I have to return to Aryadelle because of some issues.""Oh, what happened?" Hayden rubbed his eyes. There was a time difference between Bridgedale and Aryadelle. It was six in the morning at Bridgedale at that moment."Nothing too huge, don't worry. Once I'm ready, I'll head to Bridgedale to see you. Before I go over, I'll let you know," Avery said."Hmm.""Do you want to see Robert and Layla?" Avery said and panned the camera at Robert and Layla eating the banana.Layla immediately aimed the remaining banana she had in her hand at the camera, "Hayden, a banana for you!"Hayden replied, "How childish.""Hayden, Robert knows how to talk! He knows how to say Daddy, Mommy, and Layla, but he doesn't know how to say your name yet!" Layla deliberately tried to provoke him. "Will you be jealous?""Lame.""Hayden, do you miss me! If you say that you miss me, I'll head to Bridgedale to see you w

"You two seem to be really afraid of me, aren't you?" she teased as she picked up the menu to order."This is your territory, after all," Cole said, "What do you want? Just spill already! Elliot is at your place right now, right?"Cole feared Avery, but the one he feared above all was Elliot.Avery ordered a donut and a glass of milk, before turning her attention back to them— more precisely, to Henry."Henry, Adrian is your biological brother, but do you remember that you have another sister?" she asked calmly.If it was possible, she wished to resolve the issue peacefully. After all, not only was Shea important to Elliot and Avery, but she was also Henry's biological sister.Henry remained thoughtful for a few moments and said, "You are talking about Shea, right? Of course, I haven't forgotten about her, but she wasn't that close to me. Why are you bringing her up? Didn't she die trying to save your son? Mentioning her would only deepen my resentment towards you and Elliot.""What go

"It's no wonder you were looking for Adrian yesterday! So you are trying to get him to donate his kidney, after all!" Cole realized Avery's plan and said, "You asked me and my dad to give our kidneys on purpose so that we would panic, and only after you see us panicking would you mention Adrian… I have to say, Avery, you sure are smart!""Cole, don't try to undermine me with your crooked view of the world. Under normal circumstances, you are the one who's supposed to take the initiative and donate your kidney, but I know that you are too much of a coward to do so.""Speak properly! Why are you calling me a coward? Shea is my aunt, but what exactly has she done for me all these years? She hasn't even spoken to me once, and now you are asking me to donate my kidney to her? I would have to be crazy to do that!" Cole shouted furiously.Henry tapped him on the arm, signaling him to calm down."Avery, Shea is my sister and I wish for nothing but her speedy recovery, but I am too old to give

She stepped out of the dining room, and Mrs. Cooper followed her closely."Hey, where is Robert?"Mrs. Cooper noticed that Robert was missing from the living room and instantly started panicking."Don't panic. He hasn't learned to walk yet, so he's definitely in this house," said Avery reassuringly as she strode outside.Although Robert could not walk, he was great at crawling. "Could he have crawled outside?" thought Avery. The door to the yard was shut so the little one could not get out.When Avery walked out of the mansion to search the yard, Mrs. Cooper called out, "Avery! Robert is in the master bedroom!"Avery sighed a breath of relief and hurried back inside.Robert had a lot of strollers that helped him learn to walk, and he had pushed his little stroller past the open door of the master bedroom. When Elliot saw his son coming in, he immediately picked him up and played with him."Look at you, all covered in sweat. You've overestimated your son." Elliot wiped the sweat off A

[No way.] Elliot rejected Ben's suggestion once again.[Then what about giving her a bit more allowance each month? With the money she is getting right now, it will take forever to save up enough to purchase a house!][If you pity her, you are welcome to buy her a place, and increase her allowance using your own money.][...]"Elliot, who are you texting?" Avery asked when she noticed that Elliot was not eating."Ben." He set his phone down and picked up the glass to take a sip of milk. "Lilith White is staying with him right now, so he would send me updates about her from time to time,"Lilith White? Your sister?" Avery remained thoughtful for a few moments. "It's not that appropriate for her to stay at Ben's place long term, is it? Should we find her a place?""Avery, if money comes too easily, one simply wouldn't learn to treasure it," Elliot deadpanned. "Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own lives without depending on others."Avery nodded. "You are right. She has jus

Shea could not wait any longer. Her illness was progressing— rapidly. If they failed to find a matching kidney and Shea's condition continued to worsen, Avery could not imagine how horrifying the consequences would be, which was why she had to find Adrian, no matter the cost.If Henry and Cole did not want to play nice, then there was no need for her to worry over morals. "Is Adrian using a phone?""Yes. I will send you his number later.""Sure. Judging from the look on your face, this is serious!" Mike exclaimed. "It's a wonder that you manage to keep this from Elliot. What a great actress you are!""Stop being sarcastic. It's not like you don't know Elliot's temper. His injuries from when he fought Nathan still haven't healed yet.""You are just afraid of seeing him feature in the headlines again!" Mike could not help but grin. "Chad said he had never felt so embarrassed before.""Yeah. Telling him won't help with the situation, so I might as well figure it out myself." She picked u
