The next morning, Avery went to the hospital as soon as she woke up.Adrian's condition had improved considerably compared to the previous day.He smiled immediately after seeing Avery. "How's my sister, Avery?"Avery sat down beside his hospital bed and fed him the breakfast she brought along. "She woke up for a while last night, but she fell asleep quickly. She's still sleeping now.""I see. She'll get better, won't she?""Most probably, yes." Avery fed him some soup and said, "You should stay in Bridgedale for now, Adrian. Once Shea is discharged from the hospital, both of you can stay together with Wesley. He'll take care of you two. ""What about you?" Adrian asked."I'm going to find Elliot, and when I do, we'll go back to Aryadelle together. Is that okay?" said Avery explaining her plan."Okay. I won't be that bored once Shea's with me." Adrian began to imagine his future.Avery looked at the smile on his face and smiled too.Her cell phone rang after she had breakfast
Cole's face suddenly turned ashen."You said you were going to take care of him, right? Is that little bit so hard to bear?" Avery teased."All you did was take a kidney, right? What's the point of inserting a urinary catheter?" Cole said in disgust."Would you like me to take out your kidney so you can find out?" sneered Avery. "If you're that impatient, you can always go back to your hotel and be back here in a week when he's ready to be discharged."Cole was unwilling to endure any hardship just to take care of Adrian, but he decided to brave the ordeal when he saw how eagerly Avery was trying to get rid of him.Avery came out of the ward when she saw Cole's determination.Adrian was safe, at least until he was discharged from the hospital.She just needed to figure out a foolproof way to ensure that Adrian would not be taken away by Cole.She found Wesley in the doctor's office and told Wesley the situation."Cole is not making any secret of his ambitions.""Yes. He said
Like before, a cold voice prompt from the service provider was heard.Her heart ached all of a sudden but she had to pretend to be calm."Elliot might be busy right now, Shea. I'll call him later." She really could not bear to tell Shea the truth.Keeping it the secret for an extra day and allowing Shea's health to improve was better than giving her the news immediately. Wesley glared at her slightly.He thought she would tell Shea the truth and was surprised when she did not."Okay." There was disappointment in Shea's eyes and she asked nervously, "Will he blame me? Will he be angry with me?""No, Shea. He won't be angry at you. He misses you a lot, actually." Avery held her hand. "Trust me."Shea immediately felt relieved. "I trust you and Wesley the most. And my brother too.""Rest more. You'll get a surprise once you're discharged from the hospital." Avery wanted to tell the truth only after Shea was discharged from the hospital."Okay. I'm feeling a little sleepy, so I'
"Have you made a decision yet?" Avery asked.Lilith previously said that she would tell Avery once a decision was made, but there had not been any news yet."Why did you tell Ben about me, Avery? Do you know how that old b*st*rd reacted? He said loads of mean stuff to me!" Lilith jumped up from the bed and sat up. "He even forced me to get an abortion! Who the hell is he to force me into doing getting it!"Avery was stunned. "I called him because I was worried that you'd need to go through the surgery alone. I don't feel at ease that way.""I know you're being kind, but you've messed things up with your kindness. You could've asked your bestie to accompany me to the hospital rather than tell Ben!" Lilith complained."You're right." Avery actually had a reason for that.The reason she told Ben the news immediately after finding out was because she suspected that Lilith's child was Ben's.Lilith was still young and not fully mature yet. It would be better if Ben knew about it so t
Over at Ylore, it had been almost a week since Elliot's arrival.After Gary introduced all the ventures that he was involved in, he brought Elliot to have a chat over some drinks."You haven't contacted anyone from the country within the last couple of days, right?" Gary was referring to Avery."I lost my phone." Elliot raised his glass and took a sip. "I've already told you that.""Yes, I remember. I sent some guys to check the villa a couple of times, and I also sent someone to the airport to look for it. None of them found it though," Gary said frankly. "You probably didn't bring it with you on the plane. ""I was answering your question." Elliot put down his glass and stared into the far night sky from the balcony. "I couldn't contact anyone because I lost my phone.""Hahaha! If you wanted to them, you'd have all sorts of ways to do it even if you lost your cell phone. Didn't I send someone to buy you a new cell phone? I'm sure you remember Avery's number. If you wanted to co
"A glass of water, please." Elliot sat down on the sofa.The housekeeper immediately brought a glass of water and handed it to him.He took the water glass, took a sip, and began to think about the consequences he might face after getting the treatment.He had not considered that before that day.Gary's words gnawed at a lingering resentment that had festered in his dead heart. "I was never this lonely."How did I end up falling so far?"Did I really have to waste my life in meaningless existence?" he thought. He could not accept it.Whether he was Elliot or Nathan's illegitimate son, he should not let his life be destroyed or defined by anyone.He did not want anyone to look up to him, and what he wanted was for everyone to know that they could not hope to reach his level.After putting the glass down, he said to the housekeeper, "Give me a pen and a notepad."The housekeeper immediately went and fetched them for him.He took the pen and notepad back to the bedroom and
Adrian was at the inpatient unit of the hospital in Bridgedale. Adrian opened his eyes and saw Cole. His gentle gaze instantly turned cold. Avery had told him to treat Cole like air. Since he was a patient at that moment, even if he ignored Cole, Cole would not be angry at him."Uncle Adrian, you're awake." Cole saw Adrian open his eyes. He immediately smiled and said, "I bought you some soup. It's in the thermos. I'll get it for you. Can you drink the soup by yourself? Or… do you need to be fed?"Of course, Cole did not want to feed him. He only had a kidney taken out. His hands had no problems. He could surely eat on his own. Adrian looked at him coldly and shook his head."Are you not hungry?" The smile on Cole stiffened. He said, "You have been asleep for so long without having any food. How could you not be hungry? If you don't have any food, it will delay your recovery."Cole hoped that he would get discharged earlier, naturally, he had to care for him well.Adrian still
Ben took his phone and walked to the door. Through his intercom monitor, he saw Lilith's face. He was instantly furious! "I have already changed the pin for the gate! How did she even get into the courtyard?" thought Ben. Other than climbing over the fence, he could not think of any other possibilities! He wanted to get to the bottom of this, so he opened the door.When he opened the door, Lilith immediately entered and headed to his living area with her suitcase.Ben was bewildered.He looked at her brazenly entering his home. He did not know what to do."Lilith White!" Ben yelled, "What are you doing?!""I checked out of my place." Lilith sat on the sofa and hugged her luggage. She looked at him with teary eyes. "Someone kept knocking on my door last night. I checked the surveillance this morning. It was a man. He must be a pervert, so I can't continue staying there."Ben instantly cooled down. He walked over to her and asked, "Did you report it to the police?"Lilith shoo
