Chapter 1158
Upon reaching the office, she immediately shut her office door. She quickly opened the bag and had a look inside. There seemed to be a smaller bag inside.She walked over to the window to have a clearer look at what was inside. She gasped! She immediately took the small bag out. It was blood! A bag of dark, red blood!She was instantly dizzy. Her legs felt like jelly. She felt as if she was going to fall over. She was not afraid of blood, but she could guess whose blood this was!Her phone in her bag rang. She took a deep breath, strode to her desk, and took her phone out of her bag.She picked up the call. Cole's sinister laugh rang through. "Have you received it yet?""You animal!" Avery scolded. "What the hell do you want?""Don't you want to ask me whose blood this is? Forget about it, I won't tell you. Just take it to a lab! Anyway, you'll get your answer in half an hour." Cole chuckled. "Seeing how angry you are, I'm guessing you already know whose blood it is.""Cole, I

"Why didn't you knock before entering?" Avery grumbled."I did!" Mike scratched his head. "I knocked, but you didn't hear me. What happened? Did you have a fight with Elliot? That shouldn't have happened! Haven't you two been quite close recently?""It has nothing to do with him." Avery took some tissues and wiped away her tears. "I was watching the news just now. A middle-aged man disguised himself as a cobbler on the streets just to pay for his daughter's education. Every time I see this type of news, I will think of my mother. I feel for the people at the bottom of the social ladder.""Is that so?" Mike pointed at her clenched fist. "What is that in your hands? Let me have a look. If you don’t let me see what it is, I won't believe what you said.""How does it affect me even if you don't believe me?" Avery quickly recollected her thoughts. "What are you looking for me for?""Hey! You're saying this as if we're strangers. I heard you're in the office, so I deliberately came over

Avery sat in the lobby. Her eyes were in a daze. She was shuddering. She seemed to be in despair. She did not know what to do.She did not want to tell Elliot because if she told him, he would really kill Henry and Cole. She did not want him to become a murderer! However, if she did not tell Elliot about it, she would have to see Adrian and Shea die.No matter what she thought, she only came to one solution. She sat in the hospital for a while before dialing Cole."Have you thought it through?" Cole answered her call, waiting for her reply."Let's meet and talk!" Avery came out of the hospital. "I'll send you the location. Come as soon as possible.""Are you setting me up? Avery, let me tell you, Adrian is in our hands. If you're up to any tricks, Adrian will surely die!" Cole said nervously."I know," Avery said and hung up.40 minutes later, they met in a private room of a restaurant near the hospital.Cole carefully scanned the room."We're only meeting up, why do you hav

Cole's eyes were reddened and bloodshot."Dad! Don't give her Adrian! I would rather die than give in to them!" Cole yelled.Henry choked up, "Cole, where are you? I'll come to rescue you…""No! Don't come! Just look after Adrian! If they don't give us money, we won't give them Adrian!" Because Cole was moving about so much, the dagger pierced into his neck.Blood oozed out of his wound.Avery looked at the blood oozing out of him. She relaxed her grip on the dagger quite a bit.Would she really dare to kill Cole? Would she really dare to do so? She asked herself countless times.She lost it once she had the answer in her heart. She might say harsh words, but she did not dare to kill a person!As a doctor, she knew which part would easily kill Cole, but she did not have the courage to do so! "Avery, if you dare to do it, kill me! If you really kill me, you and Elliot the devil are a true match! Hahaha!" Cole laughed maniacally.Avery's hand with the dagger trembled nonstop.

Avery's vision turned blurry. Her heart constricted tightly. She pursed her lips and persisted through the sadness."Avery, why are you not saying anything?" Wesley heard her heavy breathing. He immediately said, "If you can't, it's fine. Shea still doesn't know that you found me. She also doesn't know that she isn't Elliot's sister, nor that Adrian is her brother. I don't want her to know all these.""Wesley, I want to save Shea, I really do, but Adrian has been taken away." Avery wiped away her tears. She said in a hoarse voice, "I'll try to find a way.""Did they take Adrian away because they wanted to ask you for money?" Wesley could immediately pinpoint the problem astutely. "How much are they asking for?"If Wesley could get this amount of money, he would offer to pay."They don't want my money. Even if I gave them all my belongings, they don't want it either," Avery choked up and said, "They want Elliot's money." When Wesley heard what she said, he immediately said, "Then

Cole slapped Avery hard. If she did not cover the bruise on her face, she did not dare to return home, because if Elliot saw that she was bullied, he would surely get to the bottom of it and avenge her.At that moment, Adrian was still with Henry and Cole. She could not worsen the conflict between them.After dinner, Elliot brought the children to the courtyard to play.Mike and Avery were slowly walking behind them."Have you thought about what I said to you during the day?" Mike asked softly, "I have already contacted a professional assassin. I have been to Henry and Cole's house the last time. All I need is a nod, and this issue will be solved tonight."Avery was stunned. She asked, "I don't know where Adrian is being hidden. If you kill Henry and Cole, how are you going to look for Adrian?"Mike had not thought about this question, but he did not find this to be a huge problem. "When we kill Henry and Cole, we'll get Elliot to use his powers and send men and sweep the city. I

However, Elliot would not lose his temper and question her as he did in the past.Since she was not telling him, there was nothing he could do."Babe, don't be afraid." Avery planned to let Robert's hand go. "Walk over to Layla. Try it and see. You can do it."Robert's face was filled with fear, but he still bravely opened his arms and step forward little by little, fumbling toward Layla.Although his walk was still rather staggering as if he could fall at any moment, he was brave.When he walked to Layla, Layla hugged him tightly."Robert, you're amazing! Walk toward Mommy!" Layla turned him around so that he could walk toward Avery.This time, he was much braver than before.He seemed to know that he would not fall, so he was soon by Avery."Elliot! Did you see it? Our son can walk!" Avery was engrossed in that moment of happiness. "Come walk with Robert. I want to capture this moment."Elliot immediately came over and bent down where she was a moment ago. He got Robert to

The next day, Avery got up early. She covered the bruise on her face with concealer.Elliot's hoarse voice suddenly came from the bed. "Avery, why are you up so early? Did you lose sleep?""I slept early last night, so I woke up earlier today." Avery looked at the time. It was not even seven in the morning yet. "Elliot, sleep a little longer. It's still early."Elliot looked at her made-up face. He said in confusion, "Are you heading out today?""I'm planning to go to work starting today. I can't stay home any longer." Avery smiled. "You were saying that I was thinking nonsense previously. If I were to go to work, I wouldn't be like that anymore.""Even if you're going to work, you don't have to get up so early. Come sleep with me a while longer." Elliot reached his hand out.Avery found it hard to refuse him, so she walked over to the bed and sat down.His deep-set eyes were looking at her face closely."I have never seen you make up for work before." He knew that she did not
