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
Everyone was silent.Only Tammy harrumphed and said, "You men are all jerks!"Ben was provoked by that. "How can you say that?""I heard that you got Lilith pregnant, yet you don't want to bear the responsibility. Is that right?" Tammy shut Ben up. "I pity Lilith for meeting a huge jerk like you."Jun nudged her with his elbows, asking her to stop talking."He is a jerk, yet you don’t let me call him out on it? Even if Elliot was here, I would scold him right in his face!" Tammy joined them that day so that she could take her anger out on Ben."I never said that I wouldn't care for Lilith! I went to look for her, she said that she had already found another guy to take her in! What else can I say? Was I going to fight it out with the other guy? How ridiculous!" Ben raised his glass and downed it in one go.Chad immediately poured him more wine."Then you should properly reflect on why Lilith would rather spend time with the other guy than with you. It's because you're a jerk!" T
"All you need is money to bring a child up. Big H has lots of it!" Mike saw how bewildered Ben was, and he was delighted. "Lilith initially wanted to go to the hospital for an abortion. She got Big H to accompany her to the hospital. I don't know what happened in the hospital, in the end, Big H decided to fork out the money to care for her."The anger in Ben's heart instantly vanished. He was feeling so awkward at that moment that he wanted to hide."Hayden is doing much better than you, the biological father! He is not even ten years old yet! Don't you feel ashamed?" Tammy mocked."Stop it! I am ashamed!" Ben sighed. "Lilith can't do anything well but provoke me. She doesn't tell me anything and always deliberately makes me angry.""You know how aloof Hayden is. If Lilith can go along with Hayden and yet can't go along with you. It's clear whose problem it is." Tammy took a jab at him."Fine. It's my problem. I'll go home and reflect on this. I'll go find her once I've calmed dow
After getting in the car, Avery found a contact on her phone and dialed the number.The call was picked up after a while."Hello, Nick. Avery here."The person on the other end of the line chuckled when he heard her voice. He said, "Where did you get my number?""I logged into Elliot's account and found your number," She cut to the chase, "I need a favor from you.""Doctor Tate, in the mansion in the forest, we have already settled everything. I don't owe you anything anymore, so I won't help you," Nick rejected her directly."Yes, we have indeed settled it in the past, but how sure are you that you won't need my help in the future?" Avery's tone was gentle. "As one grows older, the risk of a brain-related disease increases. So, if you get sick in the future, I'll treat you for free." Nick was tempted by her offer."What do you need me for?" Nick's breathing got heavier. He snickered. "Don't tell me that you want me to help you take Elliot back? I heard about your embarrassing
About an hour later, a black sedan appeared in front of the mansion.Nick warned Avery. "Your man is here."Avery smiled bitterly. "He is not my man. He is my debtor."The night before, Elliot said more than once that he was going to make Avery pay, and because of that, Avery could not sleep for the entire night.Even thinking back about it, her heart still hurt.Elliot opened the car door and got out of the car. He was still in black that day, making himself seem taller.His bodyguard did not enter the hall with him. He changed his shoes and entered the hall. He immediately saw Avery. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.He felt different seeing her during the day compared to seeing her the night before. Maybe it was because people were much calmer and logical in the day."Elliot, sit," Nick said, "How's your body?""Quite good." Elliot's expressions resumed their usual coldness. He accepted the cup of tea from Nick, took a sip, and placed it down."Are you and Ruby p
