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.

After lunch, Lilith sent a message to Avery, [Ben has suspected someone, but he wouldn't tell me who it is but don't worry. I found out that he had called Chad to discuss the matter with him. So, Chad must know something. Go and talk to Chad.]When they were buying peppers, Lilith lied and said that she had not brought her phone, so she got Ben to pay.Ben took his phone out and unlocked it, and she immediately snatched his phone from him. She pretended to accidentally open his recent phone records and saw that the most recent phone call was with Chad.Ben might look like a mature and smart man, but in Lilith's eyes, he was nothing but an old man. She had many ways to deal with him.She had only been with him for a few days and already she was able to get some firsthand news.In Bridgedale, Avery's phone lit up when the message arrived. It shone upon her sleeping face. She did not wake up.She had come home quite late and had no time to train, so she took half a sleeping pill bef

When Avery heard the name, a sense of familiarity overwhelmed her.She had heard of that name before but could not match the face to the name."I remember!" she suddenly said in a low voice. "They all call him Gary!""Yes. Him. Gary Gould.""I don't like him, and I told Elliot to stay away from him. He hates me for it. He even got a lady to come over to tell me to leave Elliot." At that thought, she took a deep breath. "If Elliot is really with him, I'm afraid I won't be able to get him back. He knows that I don't get along with Gary."Chad looked troubled. "Actually, the problem right now is not whether you can get him back or not, but knowing whether he is safe, and how is he faring. If he is with Gary, as long as he is still alive and well, it doesn't matter.""Hmm. Do you know where Gary is currently at? Which country?" Avery planned to go look for him."Gary has investments all over the world. He doesn't have a fixed base, but I know that he started in Ylore," Chad said. "I

Shea cried terribly."I know you find this hard to accept, but don't worry. Even if you are not Elliot's sister, he still loves you. Despite learning the truth, his feelings for you haven't changed." Wesley took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears."Shea, don't cry! Even if you're not my aunt, I still like you!" Layla was heartbroken to see her cry. "See, even Hayden asked you to move in with us. We like you!"Shea heard Layla's bright voice. Her tears stopped. "I like you all too, but I still care a lot for Elliot. He hasn't even come to see me.""He is missing!" Layla said to Shea. "He doesn't know that you are here because we can't get through to his phone."Tears fell from Shea's face once more."Shea, didn't you say that you were afraid to let him see you in this state? It's good that you can properly recuperate. Once you have healed, Avery will make sure he sees you." Wesley wiped away her tears once again."Why is he missing? Is he in danger?" Shea was very worried. "Wh

Elliot was not going to die! Neither was she! She would not give in to Cole's plans!After collecting herself, she came to the inpatient unit. Mike and the children had just left Shea's ward. "Mommy!" Layla saw Avery and ran toward her. Avery opened her arms wide, hugging her daughter in her arms."Mommy, I missed you so much! Do you miss me?" Layla said coquettishly in Avery's arms."Of course, I did. If you two hadn't returned, I would have gone to you." Avery kissed Layla on the cheek."Mommy, we saw Shea. She knows that Daddy isn't her brother. She cried, but we coaxed her." Layla recounted to Avery what had happened. "When Shea gets discharged, let her stay with us!""Sure! But I have to go look for your Daddy first," Avery said to her children truthfully. "I'm going to go to Ylore. Whether I can find your father or not, I will return once per month."Layla pouted. "If you only come back once per month. That means you'll only be back twelve times in one year. What if you s
