Chapter 1270
"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

Gary was only afraid that Elliot might one day wipe everyone out!"I heard that you saw Avery today. Why is she still around?" Gary changed the topic. "Do you need me to send someone to chase her away? In case she keeps bothering you.""She has treated Nick in the past. If Nick is on our side this time, it would be to our advantage." Elliot did not directly say, "Don't touch Avery," but the effect was much more persuasive."Okay! I'll respect Nick then. What is she trying to do, constantly looking for you? Is she trying to help you regain your memories?" Gary warned Elliot, "I have already put my daughter's happiness in your hand. You have promised that you will treat her well. Even if you have regained your memories, you cannot disappoint her.""I won't." Elliot downed the wine and placed his glass down. He held Ruby's hand. "Ruby is obedient. A lady like that is most suitable to be a wife."Gary chuckled loudly. "Of course, Ruby is obedient! I have told her to always obey you. I

Avery didn’t want him to sleep with Ruby, but that was exactly what he planned to do.He wanted to prove that he was not the Elliot he was before! Now, he could do whatever he wanted, without being controlled by anybody."Elliot…I’m quite nervous…could you be gentle to me later?" said Ruby shyly while pulling the laces of his nightgown apart.He held her hand in his, and frowned, “Did you put on perfume?”"I did. Does it smell nice?" Ruby looked upwards at him affectionately.The perfume she put on was the one she thought most men would like."It doesn't," Elliot tied the laces of his nightgown back into place, "Go wash it off.""All right …I don't really like the smell either." Ruby smiled and walked towards the bathroom. He didn't know if it was due to the perfume or not, but he suddenly felt less interested in Ruby. He picked up his phone and took a look at the time. It was still early. He strode out from the bedroom, and ordered the nanny to prepare a sobering drink for him.Ab

"Miss, why aren't you with Master Elliot?""He's busy. He doesn't need me." Ruby sat down on the sofa, picked up the fruit plate, and ate the fruit sullenly, "He doesn't seem to be interested in me. Am I not beautiful enough? I remember his ex-wife. I think I'm way prettier and younger than her."The nanny echoed, "Of course you are, Miss! Why would he decide to marry you otherwise?""But I took his clothes off, and he put them back on," Ruby whispered. "Is he feeling unwell?" She guessed."Master Elliot is probably feeling rather weak as he has just been through an operation. He should be able to recover in a month." The nanny assured Ruby, "He is well-built and has been able to sire three children with Avery, he should be fine."Ruby heaved a sigh of relief.The next morning, Elliot went to the hospital for a follow-up body checkup. The deputy dean of the hospital asked about his condition and ordered a CT scan of his brain."Mr. Elliot, I have to tell you that your ex-wife
