Chapter 1242
Mike called an ambulance as soon as their flight landed at the airport in Aryadelle.Avery's fever from the day before grew worse, and the medicine that Mike had given her only brought it down for a while. On the plane, Mike had asked the flight attendant for more fever medication. This was his second time needing medication to bring the fever down. However, the effects did not last long when compared to the first time she had taken the medication. Her temperature soon began to climb. When Mike carried her off the plane, he could sense that her temperature had easily passed forty degrees celsius.She started to twitch and turn as she lost consciousness.Had he known that her fever was this severe, he would have never taken her back to Aryadelle while she was sick.The ambulance arrived shortly after, and once Avery was on it, Mike went in as well and they left for the hospital. Ever since news of Elliot's death spread, rumors concerning him had not ceased in the city. The fact

"I will handle him! Once he gets back, I promise I will get him to marry you!" Mrs. Schaffer promised. "My only request for you right now is to not work or go to school for now. Just stay at home to nurture your baby. I will get you a nanny to take care of you."Troubled, Lilith came up with an idea. "Auntie, my brother might be dead, but my sister-in-law is still alive. I need to talk to her about this first.""Oh... You are talking about Avery Tate! Does she concern herself with your affairs?"She does! She is really kind to me." Lilith was stuck in a difficult position between Ben and his parents, and she could not quite make up her mind as to what to do. Ben's parents had been very kind to her and she did not have the heart to say anything that might hurt them, which was why she needed to wait until Avery returned to make the decision for her.As soon as Avery was rushed into the emergency room, the doctor immediately injected antipyretics and anti-inflammatory medication into h

As expected, her mother passed away after her father, and now she had lost Elliot as well. In the end, she would also leave this world. All stories and rumors about her would soon fade into nothingness as time went by until finally, all marks that she had ever lived would disappear.As Wesley had said before, if Death could cross the boundaries of time and place, then Avery would tell him that she did not want another life. An hour later, Mrs. Schaffer hurried over and Mike was slightly surprised to see her"Ben called me and I asked about Avery. He told me that she came back and I wanted to meet her...""Oh. Ben did call me just now asking where we are," Mike said. "Avery's fever has just gone down. She isn't in a good place right now because of what happened to Elliot, so let me go in and speak to her first.""Okay. Tell her that I'm here for Lilith," Mrs. Schaffer said.Mike was confused but went in to convey her message regardless.In two minutes' time, Mike opened the door

Avery had her back toward him, and she did not respond to his comments.She was being honest when she said that her head hurt so much that she could die. It was also true that she missed Elliot so much that she felt like taking her own life.Since she was a child, she had always prepared herself and lifted herself up whenever she encountered difficulties, but this time, she was exhausted. Even when there were three children she needed to look after, she could not help the grief she felt.After dinner, Mike contacted the doctor to make arrangements for the tests and placed the receipts on the counter while Avery lay on the bed and looked at her phone."Did you say your head hurt? I asked the nurse for some painkillers." Mike handed her the medicine. "Do you need to take one?""I feel better now," she said, "Just put it on the table. I will take them when my head starts to hurt again.""Stop playing with your phone. The internet is filled with news about Elliot so it's quite disgus

The thing that sent shivers down Mike's spine was not the words of the doctor, but the fact that Avery went missing."Sh*t! I said that I would keep an eye on her to stop her from running away, and in the end, she ran away again while I was asleep! Without question, she must be on one of the flights heading toward Ylore," thought Mike. Mike darted out without a word and the doctor immediately stopped him. "Did you hear a word I said just now? She has to come back here for a bodycheck—""I get it! Once I find her, I will take her to the hospital to get checked, but I don't think we can do it here! She's probably overseas now as we speak!" Mike blurted out hastily."Oh, that's okay. So long as she gets checked, it doesn't matter where she does it.""Don't you all keep an eye on your patients here? How can you let your patients run away like that?" Mike said sharply."But— This is a hospital, not a prison. If the patients are capable of walking around, of course, they are entitled

She held onto her phone and mumbled, "It wasn't Elliot's... You didn't find anything of his... He has to be alive..."Ben's heart ached at her murmuring.It had been a week, and the chances that Elliot was still alive were slim.He might have been tossed into the distance when he fell and because there were places that were inaccessible to the rescue team, the search area was limited. Once they managed to get access to those places, they might be able to find Elliot, but it would already be too late.One hour later, Ben found Avery, who was standing at the accident site, frozen like a statue made out of stone.He grabbed onto her arm and dragged her toward the car."Your fever has only just gone down. You are going to catch a cold again," Ben said sternly. "Mike is really worried about you. He told me to take you to the hospital once I find you.""I'm fine. Why should I have to go to the hospital?" She stared at him and said stubbornly, "I want to find Gary. Take me to him!""W

It was a black notebook."Avery, I haven't drawn the lines for you because I was being considerate of your three children. You all need to live on without Elliot." Gary's words were like bullets. "You should be able to recognize his handwriting. He has written down the names of the people that matter most to him, and your name isn't there. Whether he is dead or alive, you are no longer on his mind!"Avery took the notebook and opened it to find Elliot's handwriting. She was well familiar with Elliot's handwriting, almost as familiar as she was with him.She read through the things he wrote and pursed her lips. Her words failed her.Ben walked over to take a look, before asking Gary, "Why would Elliot write about this?""He did what he wanted. It's not like I forced him to do this." Gary was fed up with the two of them. "Elliot and I have been friends for years, and I would never hurt him! Go back to Aryadelle now that you've had your fun!""Gary, where is his body? Even if you wo

Even if Ylore was Gary's territory, she would not let him bully her into subordination.In approximately four hours, Mike arrived at the Ylore airport. He turned on his phone and saw the message from Ben.[Avery is in the same hotel as before. I have something urgent to deal with so I'll be heading back to Aryadelle first!]"That jerk," Mike cursed. "How can he leave Avery alone here! Who knows what kind of trouble she would cause if she is all by herself?"He then called Avery and luckily, she picked up."Mike, there's a chance that Elliot is alive! He is with Gary. I feel much better now, so you don't need to keep me company," Avery sounded much more relaxed. "Go back and watch my kids for me. Wanda has returned to Aryadelle, and I'm afraid that she is going to make a move.""Come back with me!""I told you that Elliot isn't dead. I'm staying here to find out where he is. I've already called my bodyguard, and he should be here soon. I know what I'm doing. I won't face Gary dir
