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

She wanted to tell him that she was fine, but the blood in her mouth stopped her from saying anything.Her bodyguard paced back and forth frantically. "Miss. Tate, let me send you to the hospital, okay? Or should I call an ambulance instead?" He shoved a few pieces of tissue paper to her hands in the midst of panic and said, "Why don't I get you some water?""Don't panic." Avery wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth and panted. "My friend should be here soon. Once he is here...""Him, again?! You want to wait for him again? By the time he gets here, you are probably going to be dead!" The bodyguard desperately wanted to send her to the hospital. "You are literally coughing blood. You can't wait any longer!"Avery sat down on the chair to calm herself. "To cure me, I will need to go through a surgical procedure to drain the blood clot inside my skull. Maybe I'm just coughing it out right now."It didn't take any medical knowledge for the bodyguard to know that Avery was bluff

However, when he saw how pale she was, he agreed because he didn't want her barging in.In Aryadelle, Ben drove to Starry River Villa. He felt overwhelmed and was unsure as to how he was supposed to face Lilith, but if she was indeed the woman from that night in the hotel and she got pregnant because of it, he had to fulfill his responsibility to both her and the child.He had to pay for their expenses even if he didn't want to marry her.Ben got out of the car and strode towards the front porch to change his shoes.Lilith was eating fruits in the living room and was utterly stunned when she spotted Ben changing into indoor slippers in front of the door.'What is he doing here? Definitely not here to look for me, for sure,' she thought, 'If that's the case, I should just go back to my room, or I might not be able to stop myself from getting into an argument with him.'Last night, the more she thought back to it, the more upset she became. If only Ben's parents weren't around, she

Gary happened to be at home.When his subordinates came to report Avery's bodyguard's arrival, Gary was intrigued and allowed his entry.Avery's bodyguard had not expected to get in so easily and was slightly wary; but there was no changing what was happening, so he could only hope that this would help Avery get in touch with Elliot.After the security check, daggers and all other weapons on the bodyguard were taken away. Though he deeply regretted it, he did not let it show on his face. After serving Avery for such a long period of time, he was influenced by her character and habits.When he arrived in the living room and saw Gary, he immediately greeted Gary politely. "Hello, Mr. Gould.""Call me Boss." Gary had a strange preference over the way people addressed him."Hello, Boss. I am Avery Tate's bodyguard. I came here today because my employer wants to ask a favor of you," The bodyguard sat down on the couch and drawled."Oh? Is she still in Ylore?" Gary had thought that Be

Which was why the two felt slightly awkward when they met at the airport."It's been years and you still look as beautiful as ever," Jed said, "But you do look a bit sickly. Have you shown any other symptoms apart from the headaches?"Avery shook her head. "Not yet.""Alright. Let's go to the hospital now!""What's the hurry? You've just arrived. Let me treat you to something! Besides, I have something I need to do today, so we can wait until tomorrow...""Avery, quit playing around with your own life." Jed looked at her sternly. "Does Wesley know that you are sick? He doesn't, does he? If you won't listen to me, I am calling him right now."Avery raised her arms in defeat. "Let's hurry to the hospital then!""You are a doctor as well, one of the best doctors globally, at that, do you really not know how critical your condition is? You said that you had not been hit in the head before, so why are you bleeding inside your skull?" He said seriously, "This has to be a lesion.""My

Speak of the devil.A taxi stopped in front of the yard and her bodyguard got out, before helping Avery out of the car.The blinding lights in the yard shone down upon the colorful figures of the guests and Avery immediately spotted Elliot in the crowd.He was dressed in black, holding a wine glass with one hand while placing another arm around a woman dressed in a white dress, who leaned against him with a joyful smile.The two were such a beautiful couple that they looked as though they were made for one another.The bodyguard followed her eyes and recognized Elliot. He cleared his throat and said, "Why don't we just stay out of this, Miss. Tate? Going in there is pretty much like looking for trouble ourselves. He seems quite content with his new wife!"As soon as he said the words, Avery started striding towards the yard; more precisely, towards Elliot.The bodyguard could only force himself to follow, only to be asked to wait in the companion area as soon as he entered the y
