Chapter 1252
Hayden was too young to understand such dramatic and worldly events."I've decided to get rid of the baby and never see Ben again." Lilith had made up her mind.Hayden froze and was instantly rendered speechless."You are Hayden Tate?" Lilith studied Hayden's face and realized how much he resembled Elliot."Yeah.""It's summer vacation for you right now, right?" Lilith hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you come with me to the hospital tomorrow? I am a little scared to be alone."If Avery was in Aryadelle, Lilith would have asked for her help instead.Hayden thought that he was hallucinating. Although she was his aunt, this was still the first time they had met, and they were not even close. All that said, did she really intend to bring a child to an abortion clinic? Hayden instinctively wanted to say no, but he then remembered how miserable his mother was when she was pregnant with him and Layla. His mother had been all alone without their father next to her.What Lilith

Lilith was rendered speechless.On the other hand, Hayden was shocked. Embarrassed, he tried to leave but Lilith grabbed onto his arm and prevented him from doing so."Doctor, he is my nephew," Lilith said awkwardly. "He isn't even ten! It's my first time seeing a gynecologist and I'm a bit nervous, so I asked him to come with me."The doctor fell into an awkward silence for about a minute before responding, "Kids these days sure grow fast.""It's just his genes. Both his parents are really tall," Lilith explained."I see. So what's your issue?" the doctor asked."I want to get an abortion." Lilith handed the ultrasound figure to the doctor. "The baby is currently one-month-old.""Are you married?""No.""Have you thought this through?""Yes. I don't have money to raise this baby. Giving birth to it would only mean that it will have to suffer with me. So I might as well get rid of it as soon as I can," said Lilith explaining her situation. Hayden was shaken to the core by h

Her feet were weak and all her strength left her. She almost fainted when she saw the results. Alarmed by her expression, the bodyguard said, "Miss Tate, are you terminally ill and dying?"The bodyguard had contemplated rephrasing his question, but he found himself asking it before he could think up a different wording. He had asked the question because she had looked oddly terrifying. It looked as though she was experiencing the end of her world. "I'm not terminally ill," she told him with certainty. "Don't worry. Mike will still pay you your monthly salary if I die."The bodyguard was not sure whether to laugh or cry. "It's not my salary that I'm worried about... Fine, maybe I'm a little worried about that. You are the best boss I've ever worked for in my life, and I don't want you to die. So, long as you stay alive, I want to serve you for the rest of my life!""I will try my best to live long, then."Thank you!" The bodyguard lent her his shoulder and asked gingerly, "Do yo

Though he woke up slightly late, his recovery was considered speedy since he regained consciousness. He should have remained in the hospital under observation for a few more days, but he was reluctant to do so and got discharged."Elliot, the doctor says that it's normal if you are missing fragments of your memories. You will regain them slowly in the next couple of days." Gary tried to help Elliot toward the bed.Elliot pushed Gary's hand away once he sat down on the bed."Regain my memories?" He asked in a hoarse voice as he glanced over. "Are you saying that I've lost my memories"Gary's heart throbbed at Elliot's cold and dominating exterior. There was no telling what Elliot remembered and what he had forgotten.Since Elliot woke up from the surgery, he had not spoken much and had barely answered any questions that the doctor asked. However, the scans of Elliot's brain showed that there was no abnormality in his brain, so the doctor concluded that Elliot might remember what h

Avery went back to the hotel and opened her contact list to find one of her classmates back when she was in grad school. If she wasn't mistaken, this classmate of hers had become a rather famous neurosurgeon. However, they had not been in touch for years so she wasn't sure if he would be willing to come all the way to Ylore to treat her.After hesitating for a while, she dialed the number and the surprised voice of a man came through the phone, "Avery Tate?!""Yeah. Jed Hutchinson, right? I heard from Wesley that you've become a great neurosurgeon. Are you still working in a hospital?" Avery asked in a gentle voice."Yes. Wesley talked to you about me? What an honor!""Jed, I need your help with something. Do you have time?" Avery asked carefully."I'm a bit busy this week. Just tell me what you need and I can make time for it," Jed chuckled and said, "Of course, I'm going to help if you need a favor."Avery described her test results to Jed and said, "The medical resources here

She still needed a few other tests to confirm the condition she was in and since those tests were more important, she intended on taking them after Jed arrived. However, based on her personal experience, she had already summarized a few potential triggering factors of her illness.In the evening, Gary had returned to his mansion from where Elliot stayed and had been depressed ever since.His subordinate noticed and asked in confusion. "Boss, wasn't Elliot's surgery a success? He doesn't remember Avery now, so why are you still upset?"Gapulled out a cigar from his cigar box and his subordinate immediately took out a lighter to light it for him."Damn it, I remember Kelly." Gary took a deep breath in with the cigar in his mouth and exhaled the smoke. "It's only been half a year since this stupid surgery and I'm already regaining my memory!""Huh? So you've regained your memories?""The doctor said that the surgery works like cutting a piece of flesh out of you. It would leave a ho

In the video, Avery looked composed and energetic as she handled the questions from the reporters smoothly and confidently.A sharp pain pierced through his head as he looked at her face and listened to her voice. Everything went blank and it felt as though something had exploded.He set his phone down and curled up with his hands around his head, panting heavily as he did....In Aryadelle, Hayden took Lilith back from outside.Mrs. Cooper was slightly surprised that they had returned so early. "Are you done with the surgery?"Hayden did not want to be with Lilith for another second and immediately went back to his room.Lilith shook her head. "I didn't go through with it.""Why not? Is the doctor busy?" Mrs. Cooper asked, "I was wondering why you two came back so early?""Mrs. Cooper, is Hayden rich?" Lilith lowered her voice and asked, "The doctor asked me why I wanted an abortion and I said it's because I don't have money to raise a baby. Hayden then told me that if that's

"It's her! It was Lilith all along! Damn that woman! She told me that I slept with her colleagues! Why didn't she tell the truth?! Why is she lying to me?!"Ben gasped and clenched his fists, before storming out of the modeling company. As soon as he walked out, his phone started to ring and when he took it out, he found that he was getting a call from an unknown number.Instinctively, he wanted to hang up and soon noticed that it was a Ylore number. His mind went into overdrive at that very moment and just as he was about to answer the call, the call was dropped.In Ylore, the butler entered Elliot's bedroom with a cup of coffee and Elliot immediately ended the call.He had just remembered Ben's number and couldn't help but call him, when he had not figured out what he wanted to say.Sterling Group no longer belonged to him and Ben was no longer his Chief Financial Officer; though they had been friends for years, what had he hoped to accomplish by getting in touch with Ben when e
