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

She thought that she had heard him wrong. He said that he would take back everything that he had lost; was he referring to Sterling Group?"If that's the case, Elliot, let us clear things up between us tonight!" She grabbed his arm again. "I need to talk to you alone, because it concerns our privacy!"With that, she dragged him away from the crowd.The two stopped in the back yard and Avery looked at him with tears in her eyes, before starting to explain, "I told Henry that I will try to get you to transfer your shares to Adrian, because I found Shea. Shea's kidney was failing and needed a transplant. Only Adrian's kidney was a compatible match but they hid him away and I couldn't find him no matter how hard I tried. Shea's condition was critical at the time and I only compromised because I wanted to save her. I didn't tell you about this because I was worried that you would act out when they corner you. Elliot, your shares are with Adrian, not Henry or Cole. Adrian is in Bridgedale

Elliot looked at Avery, who fell to the ground coldly.His condescending and arrogant look reminded her of when they first met many years ago.Back then, he had just woken up after being a vegetable. He was cold and heartless to whomever, just like how he was at that moment.Why was he like that? He treated her as if they were strangers.No. He did not treat her like a stranger. He treated her as if she was the enemy. He thought that all his loss was due to her. He said he wanted her to pay the painful price.She was suddenly curious as to how he was going to make her pay!He retracted his cold gaze from her and strode away. When he passed her by, he brought a gust of wind along too!The night breeze was like a slap on her face! It made her burn in pain.Avery painfully thought that if she was going to die soon, he might not even look at her.Soon after, the bodyguard rushed over and picked Avery up."Miss Tate! Are you alright?! I should have listened to Doctor Hutchinson an

However, he had indeed changed! He had become aloof and ruthless. It was pointless talking sense into him. He refused to talk about the past either.There seemed to be a huge boulder pressing onto her heart. It was heavy and painful. Perhaps, letting go was the only option.The next morning, Avery decided to follow Jed Hutchinson to Bridgedale to undergo surgery.It was not that she could only do the surgery in Bridgedale. It was just that it was pointless for her to remain in Ylore.Elliot had decided to bid his past farewell and start a new life. Avery remaining here would just be in his way.When she was packing up, she held the black notebook in a daze. This belonged to Elliot. She should return it to him."It looks like the memory erasure is amazing! Elliot Foster doesn't remember his ex-wife anymore! I heard that his ex-wife went to look for him last night, but he shoved her to the ground…""Does that mean our hospital is going to get famous? After all, it was the vice pre

Jed furrowed his brows. As a doctor, the patient's health was above everything else. As Avery's old schoolmate, Avery's sickness was also above her relationship with Elliot."What if Elliot needs a long time to regain his memories? What if he can never regain his memories?" Jed asked, "Are you planning to drag this on forever? Your tumor might not be big right now, but when it grows bigger, it might become malignant. By then…""I will check up on it regularly. Once the tumor becomes bigger, I will immediately undergo surgery. Jed, I won't risk my life." Avery looked at Jed and told him her thoughts, "Elliot has just done the memory erasure surgery, now is the easiest time to regain his memory. Give me a month. Let me try!""One month." Jed swallowed his saliva. "If he still doesn't have any feelings for you in a month, you have to immediately do the surgery.""Okay." Avery was thankful for his understanding. "Jed, I shouldn't take up so much of your time. Why don't you go back to
