"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

Avery shook her head. "I don't even know where he is now. I don't know where to look for him. Shea is not completely out of danger yet. I'm still worried for her. I'll wait until she gets discharged."Wesley said, "Can't you log into his account? You can ask his friends."Avery replied, "Are you asking me to use his account to ask his friend?"Wesley said, "You could also use your account to ask his friends. He is a famous person, and he can't just vanish without a trace. As long as you ask around, you will hear news about him."Avery said, "Actually, not getting any news about him right now is considered good news. If he were to encounter any accident, he would surely be on the news. Now that I can't find any news about him, that means he is still alive and well.""You sure know how to console yourself," Wesley said and smiled helplessly."Initially, I really wanted to look for him. I was so anxious I was going mad. But that just made me realize that me going mad would be comple

Since Lilith had ordered takeout for almost every meal, Ben thought that she had not known how to cool.However, seeing the fluid manner in which she chopped vegetables, it was clear that she knew how to cook. "I'm cooking!" Lilith placed the chopped zucchini on the plate. "The people you hire by the hour only do the chores. They don't cook.""You can order takeout!" Ben teased. "Don't you do that every day?""How do you know I have been ordering takeout every day?" Lilith had been at home for the past few days without leaving. However, Ben was never home when she had ordered takeout. "The old lady who collects the trash told me," Ben sneered. "Are you sick of eating out which is why you start cooking?"Lilith shook her head. "Takeouts are great. How could I get sick of eating them? I just saw an article online saying that pregnant women should not eat too much takeout. It's not good for the baby, so I decided to make my own food."The smile on Ben's face disappeared."Once I

In the kitchen, Lilith could hear Ben's conversation clearly. She knew that besides Avery, Ben was also looking for Elliot.She stood by the kitchen entrance, openly eavesdropping.Ben did not realize that she was eavesdropping. After his call, he massaged his rather sore neck. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Lilith's head pop out from the kitchen."What are you doing!" Ben thought that she was rather sneaky, like a giant surveillant camera.Lilith immediately came out of the kitchen. "There are no peppers at home. I like peppers. I can't do without it.""Why didn't you get it when you were doing the groceries?" Ben raised his eyebrows. "Are you asking me to buy them for you?""Let's go together! You were massaging your neck just now. Do you have a crick in your neck?" Lilith walked over to him. "You lack exercise. You need to move more. Once you're older, your body will deteriorate. If you exercise, things will improve."Then, Lilith reached out and grabbed Ben by the arm.
