Chapter 1200
When Avery came to the hospital in the morning, Wesley saw that her eyes were swollen and chatted with her for a moment.Adrian could clearly hear their conversation.Avery immediately shook her head. "No. I broke up with Elliot because I didn't tell him that I found Shea. He didn't know why I brought you here, so he got angry.""Then how can I make him not angry?" Adrian asked.His question was simple and direct, but it was enough to move Avery.She had no answer to the question of what should be done to make Elliot not angry."Adrian, you must not transfer the shares he gave you to Henry and Cole." She sat beside the hospital bed and said to him, "The shares are worth a lot of money, and those two men won't treat you any better even if you gave it to them. They might even use the money to do bad things."Adrian nodded after listening to her words. "Then will it be okay if I transfer it to you?"Avery shook her head. "We'll talk about it after the operation. I can only hope th

"She neither remembered her male partner, nor the four little monkeys she gave birth to, least of all the female monkey. After the treatment, she made new friends, got along well with other monkeys, and even gained a lot of weight."Gary's eyes were glowing, "We plan to promote this kind of treatment to the masses. Of course, the cost will be very high, and it's only for the rich. After all, this technology was developed by our team after a lot of research.""Why are you telling me this?" Elliot raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you trying to insult me by comparing me to monkeys?"Gary smiled and shook his head. "Look at you. How could you suspect me of having such intentions? I brought you here to tell you about this new accomplishment of mine!""I don't think your new achievement is going to make a lot of money," said Elliot, offering his opinion. "The rich cherish their lives tremendously. Who would want to gamble with their memories? Don't you think it'd be ridiculous if the treat

The floodgates opened, and tears streamed down Avery's face as she looked at her son's stern and serious face. Wesley immediately pulled Hayden aside."That's no way to be speaking to your mother, Hayden," Wesley whispered, "Don't you want Shea to survive?""Of course I do, but that has nothing to do with Elliot! I hate him, but I don't want to see him reduced to this!" Hayden's eyes were slightly red. "My goal is to defeat him. How am I supposed to achieve that now that he's lost everything!"Wesley hugged Hayden after understanding what the boy's thoughts were."I understand how you feel, but don't blame your mother for this. She's been feeling sadder than anyone else these past couple of days," Wesley said hoarsely. "She never forced your father into giving up everything. She'll never do something like that. Your dad made this decision because he felt provoked. There's a whole lot of stuff that is beyond our control. You're still young, so you may not understand that."Avery

"I don't know. I'll ask Chad later, and I'll let you know once I get the lawyer's contact information." Mike calmed her down immediately. "Don't get so emotional in front of the children.""Why didn't you say that earlier?" Avery sniffled and said bitterly, "I can't keep calm and think about others like I used to."She had lost herself when Elliot left, and the most unforgettable pain she had ever experienced was when she had lost him."Do you regret it?" Mike asked. "If you'd told him the truth earlier, maybe—""If I told him the truth earlier, things would go another way," Avery said. "But what if it ended up getting even worse? Finding him is better than just sitting here regretting everything.""You haven't slept for a few days now, right? Just look at how exhausted you look. If this goes on, Elliot might not recognize you even if you do manage to find him," Mike teased."Why wouldn't he? Even if he doesn't remember my face, he'll still remember my voice?" she said stubbornly

The call did not take long to connect.Avery asked in horror, "Are you sure you're not playing a prank on me, Lilith?""This isn't something to joke about." Lilith sounded downcast over the phone. "Should I get an abortion?""All you did was do a home test, right? Have you been to the hospital for an examination?""No." Lilith took a deep breath and said in a voice filled with agitation, "I went to the pharmacy to buy some flu meds today and decided to buy a box of early pregnancy test strips. The result was two bars. Didn't expect to hit the jackpot right away!""Who's the father?" Avery was a little unhappy when she heard the way Lilith downplayed everything."How could Lilith treat herself with such little care?" thought Avery. "I don't want to bring it up," Lilith said firmly."Lilith, you probably saw the news about Elliot, right?" Avery said earnestly. "He's no longer in Aryadelle, and he might not care about you in the future. He might no longer support you as well. Tha

Alarm bells were ringing in Avery's heart!"Why would Lilith suddenly ask about Ben's private affairs if the child in her womb did not belong to Ben?" thought Avery. "Not to my knowledge. But he's always had someone he likes," Avery said. "That person might no longer be alive, but I believe he'll choose someone similar to her.""Oh... Then does he have children?" said Lilith.Avery was almost certain that Lilith's child was Ben's.Lilith was still a young woman, after all. She was not good at hiding things and would easily commit a Freudian slip.After all, there was no reason to keep asking about Ben if the child was not his."Not that I've heard of. Otherwise, his parents wouldn't be so worried about those stereotypical turning points in a man's life." Avery asked, "Is he the father?""No! I'm just asking on a whim. I'll think some more, and I'll tell you once I have a decision." Lilith ended the call in a panic.After hesitating for a few seconds, Avery decided to call Ben

Avery had never been that afraid of having her health fail her. She had quarreled with Elliot countless times before and suffered from sleepless nights, yet she still survived even though she was exhausted from work and lacked sleep or food.She never remembered her body acting like this before. It was as if her organs were just going to stop working at any time.Avery answered the phone and listened as Wesley said, "Adrian's awake, Avery. He is mentally stable.""That's good to hear. What about Shea?""She's still unconscious, but at the moment, all her vital signs are within the normal range.""Okay. I'll go to the hospital later."After she hung up, she heard Mike waking the children up outside."If you don't get up any sooner, I won't be able to bring you to Hayden's place," Mike threatened Layla. "In that case, you can only stay at home with your mother."Layla groaned and got up reluctantly.After a while, there was a knock on Avery's door.She immediately went to the

The sleeping pill worked in no time, and she fell into a deep sleep.Over at Aryadelle, Ben drove to Lilith's place after getting off work.Coincidentally, he had just parked at the gate of her residential area when he saw her walking toward him with some dinner.Lilith was on her cell phone, so she did not notice Ben standing by the door.Just as she was about to head in, a big hand grabbed her arm, and she screamed in fright."It's me." Ben broke into a cold sweat when she shrieked.Everyone looked at them, including the security guard at the gate and the passers-by.He pulled Lilith and quickly walked toward his car.The security guard immediately chased after him when he saw that. "Hands off that young girl!"Ben let go in embarrassment."Do you know this man, Miss?" the security guard asked Lilith. "If you don't, I'll call the police and get them to arrest him!"Lilith glanced at Ben. She wanted to say, "I don't know him," but was afraid of angering him."Thanks for yo
