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
"How did you get Nick to help you?""I have my ways." Avery sat down next to him and said aggrievedly, "Elliot, I cannot let you forget me. My entire youth has to do with you. Our past can't be wiped away just like that. I won't back off just because you want to start a new life." Elliot clenched his fists tightly. He did not know what to say.She was not afraid of his threats. He could not possibly hit her. Even if he wanted to do it, they were not at the right place."Do you really not have feelings for me anymore?" She held his huge palms. "Turn around and look at me.""Lame," Elliot mocked."I know that you are great at hiding your emotions, but I don't believe that you have completely forgotten about me." She used all her might to hold his hand tightly with one hand while hooking her other arm around his neck, planting a kiss on his lips.The familiar scent roused all the emotions in her. Thinking about how he was another woman's husband and how cold he was to her, her tea
Although they fought terribly on the surface, Avery had huge confidence."What do you plan to do next? He has a wife now, after all. Wouldn't it be awkward for you to look for him?" Jed asked."I don't need to feel awkward. If it wasn't for Gary, Elliot and I would have long reconciled." Avery took a sip of water. "Have you ever seen someone who just finished surgery and immediately registered for marriage?""Hmm, but why does Elliot obey Gary so much?" Jed did not understand. "You said that Gary is not a good person, doesn’t Elliot know this?" Avery was silent for a while before explaining, "This is complicated. Gary helped him a long time ago. A good person and a bad person are not just purely defined by law. Sometimes, even if we think a person is bad, that person might be good to others.""I understand. Elliot won't be in danger being with Gary.""No." Avery received quite a lot of information from Nick that day. "Gary is a dangerous man. If Elliot stays with him, even if he
