Chapter 1214
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

"Elliot, do it!" said Gary, who was standing next to him. "Three hundred clinical trials and all of them were successful." "Mr. Gould, to put it more accurately, there have been three hundred and one successful cases. Have you forgotten that you have undergone this surgery too?" The doctor said with a smile.Elliot immediately looked at Gary.Gary chuckled. "Of course, I haven't forgotten about it. I just didn't want to mention it!" Then, he looked at Elliot, "Do you know about Kelly? I heard that she was a golden-fur dog that was with me for twenty years.""I know. She died.""Yes, the people around me told me about her. I wipe all memory of her, and I don't remember her at all," Gary blushed a little. "I never thought that I would have such a strong feeling for a dog. It is quite embarrassing to mention it which is why I didn't tell you that I had this surgery.""You really don't remember Kelly anymore?" Elliot looked at him, stunned.Gary nodded. "Do you think I'm faking my

Shea was still weak, but she was able to think clearly now, unlike a few days back. Wesley saw Avery entering and immediately walked over to the door. "She just fell asleep. Let's talk outside."Avery nodded.They went to the doctor's room and shut the door."I'm not going back tonight," Avery said, "Tonight has to succeed. If not, Adrian will be taken away by Cole.""Hmm, don't worry. I have already arranged it. There shouldn't be a problem.""We have to decide the place soon," Avery said. "The place you mentioned to me the day before yesterday, I still feel it's not safe enough.""Then, we'll do according to what you say," Wesley said. "Although we might trouble others, the place you chose is indeed safer.""Okay." Avery chose Professor Hough's place. After he passed, no one touched his house. It was closer to the hospital, and it was also next to a police station. This was the reason why Avery chose that place. She had contacted Professor Hough's son the day before. The
