"Oh, are you heartbroken?" Nick smiled thuggishly. "What is a light beating to a man like Elliot? He would not have minded being stabbed or shot." Avery furrowed her brows. "Nick, Elliot is not like the rest of you men. When he was in Aryadelle—"Nick interrupted her. "We're in Ylore. Don't bring up the past, including his affairs in Aryadelle. That is the past."Avery's scrunched her brows. "He will return to Aryadelle. He said that he will return once he settles things here.""When did he tell you that?""A few days ago.""He told you that before Christopher died, right?" Nick sneered. "The night Christopher died, he promised Gary that he would never leave Ylore."Avery instantly paled. She looked lost."You can't bear it, can you?" Nick was not trying to upset her. It was something she was bound to find out— sooner or later.Her finding out about it now was better than her finding out about it from Elliot. She had been completely caught off guard. "There will be many mor

Once Avery left Ylore, Gary might never allow her to return. It was a long time before a cedar coffin— borne by the members of the Gould family, exited the hotel. She saw Elliot's towering figure. He had clearly become a part of the Goulds.Gary would not have him carry Christopher's coffin otherwise. Soon, they placed the coffin into the hearse. Many expensive cars left, disappearing from sight.Avery, with the umbrella in her hand, followed the crowd and left.She did not hail a taxi. She slowly walked back to the hotel. Her bodyguard and Jed were having tea in the lobby of the hotel when they saw Avery entering the building. They stared at her in shock. They had thought that Avery was resting in her room."Miss Tate!" her bodyguard gasped.Avery was in shock, and she mechanically headed for the lift. It was an action born out of habit.Jed realized that something was not right. He approached her and stopped her. "What happened to you? Why do you look so down? Don't tel

Ruby had seen how Avery had traveled a thousand miles for Elliot, and she had concluded that Elliot enjoyed women who were more proactive. She had adopted passivity in the past; but that night, she was going to take the lead.She did not expect Elliot to push her hands away."Ruby, I forgot to tell you one thing." He straightened his robe and redid his belt, knotting it tightly. "I have problems down there."Ruby was stunned. She thought she had misheard him and furrowed her brows.She had discussed this possibility with the nanny. The nanny had told her that he could not possibly suffer from such problems, since he had fathered three children with Avery. She blushed awkwardly and retracted her hands, not knowing what to do. "Then, what about before…""That was the past. A man over thirty does not have the same energy he had in his youth." Elliot openly admitted his problem. "My problem is worse than other men. I can't announce this to the public. I hope you don't tell other peo
Chapter 1357
Avery had been like this ever since she had returned from dinner."Have I reached the end of the road? Am I really in such a desperate situation?" she thought.Her heart was silent. She knew better than anyone about the dire situation she was in and the relationship she could not save. She could not save herself. Even if Elliot regained his memories and called her to tell her that she was the love of his life, it was still pointless! In the face of death, everything seemed so small.It was almost two in the morning, and she was about to turn off the lights when her phone lit up. It was a message.When she saw Elliot's message, her heart thundered in her chest. She felt like she had just returned from the grave!He replied to the message she had sent, [Wait a little longer.]For a long time, she just stared at the message. Ten minutes had passed, and she was still struggling with herself. She did not know whether she should send him a reply or not. Another ten minutes passed.

It was an odd thing for a woman to visit the andrology department.Ruby gave her bodyguard a look, asking him to step down."Why are you at the hospital?" Ruby asked Jed. "Are you here to visit the andrology department?"Jed scratched his head awkwardly, "No, I followed you here.""Were you stalking me?" Ruby furrowed her brows in alarm."No, no. You misunderstand. I came to the hospital to do something. I think I told you that Avery and I are university mates? I'm a doctor, and I even had lunch with the vice president!"Hearing his explanation, Ruby lowered her guard."I'm not here to get treatment. I'm here to consult one of the doctors on some issues," said Ruby. Ruby had woken up that morning to find that Elliot had left her. The nanny had told her that he had left the mansion early that morning. Elliot had not told anyone where he was going or when he would be back. Ruby was upset, so she had gone to the andrology department. She wanted to find out whether there was a cur

"He won't let me touch him." Ruby lowered her gaze. "Avery can touch him, but I can't.""So, why don't you get us out of here?" said Jed. Jed had tailed her because he wanted another shot at persuading her to help them. They would be better off in Aryadelle or Bridgedale. Anywhere was better than here. Ruby sneered, "Dr. Hutchinson, I did not think you followed me because you wanted my help." "You know it yourself. Elliot has Avery in his heart. Only by letting Avery go, can you take your relationship with Elliot to the next level. I'm helping you solve your problem.""Hehe. If I could get you out of here, don't you think I would have already done it? I hate Avery more than anyone!" Ruby was in pain. "If I don't have a child, my father will surely blame me. Am I to have a child with another man?"Jed's head throbbed. "Are you planning to have a child with another man and pass it off as Elliot's?""That was his idea. I think it's a stupid idea! I don't want other men to touch

Although Jed had told her that, Ruby was still brimming with confidence. If this succeeded, she could make Elliot stay. As long as Elliot never found out who the child's biological mother was, that child would be hers!After Jed completed the check-in process, he did not immediately return to the hotel for Avery. If Avery ever discovered his plan, she would be livid.However, if he did not perform the procedure, the baby would die. When he had to choose between life and death, life was always the better option.Hayden's face kept appearing in his mind. "What if this baby is as smart and capable as Hayden in the future?" he thought.Furthermore, there was a chance that the child would discover the truth in the future, and by then, he could make the decision of whether he wanted to live with Avery or not.The more Jed thought about it, the more determined he was to go through with the plan.They were stuck in Ylore, unable to leave. All he needed to do was transfer the child to R

[I bumped into Ruby Gould at the hospital. She was troubled over trying to get pregnant because Elliot would not touch her or have a child with her. I knew that Elliot was still thinking about you, which was why he would not touch her.[At that moment, I finally understood why you had risked your life going to Ylore. You two are a match made in heaven, and no matter what, I will not tear you apart.[When writing this email, I still think that you two will be together in the end, because I believe in true love.[You can probably guess what I'm going to tell you next. I transferred the baby you were carrying into Ruby, and in exchange, she helped us get out of Ylore. [I'm writing this email as an admission of my mistakes, and I hope you will forgive me. You must know that the child that Ruby and Elliot share is your child. Yours and Elliot's. [If you want the child back, you should go to Ylore and look for the child! I do not know if the child is a boy or girl, but I'm sure that R
