Chapter 1662
Seeing Mike's reply, Avery calmed down a little.Since she already had her suspicions, she should find a way to confirm them. Whether or not it was as she thought it was, at least, after confirming it, she would no longer think about it.However, she needed to look after Shea's child at the moment. She could not go to Ylore.She had to wait until Shea's child had a smooth birth, then only could she make plans.Perhaps, she had been thinking too deeply into this matter; her head hurt a lot.She walked over to the bed. She planned to sleep for a while to see if she could relieve the pain.At Sterling Group, after Ben received the call from Ruby asking for help, he called her back almost immediately. The call connected, but no one picked up.Under normal circumstances, if one saw an incoming call, one would either pick up or reject the call.If they truly did not want to answer the call, they could block the number. That way, the other party would not be able to call back.Howeve
Chapter 1663
Elliot put the call on loudspeaker. He answered the call.Nick's voice instantly rang out, "Elliot! Something terrible has happened! The Goulds have been destroyed!"Although there was only Ruby left in the Gould family, the perpetrator had also killed all of the Goulds' servants.When Elliot heard what Nick had said, his heart turned cold. An icy aura overflowed from him.Ben yelled out in anger, "Who did it?! Who the f*ck did it? Ivy was an infant! Did they not even let a newborn child go? F*ck!"Nick said with pity and confusion, "For now, I don't know who did it. I asked Edward. He said he knew nothing about it. After Gary died, he went abroad to develop a new project. He is not in the country most of the time, so this must have been done by someone else."Elliot and Ben were so stunned by this sudden bad news that they were in a daze. If it was not Edward, who had done it? Could it have been Mike? How could Mike do such a cruel thing?"Ivy… I haven't seen her for now. I'm a
Chapter 1664
Avery barely gave it any thought. While she could still roughly make out figures, she immediately looked for her phone. She found her phone under the pillow and turned it on. Her screen was right in front of her, but the pictures and words were blurry!She fumbled her way to her contacts. She had many contacts. She could not locate Elliot's contact!The fear of powerlessness overwhelmed her. Two streaks of tears streamed down her face. Was she going blind?Had her previous sickness not recovered but worsened?She cried for a while before reaching out to wipe her tears. When she opened her eyes once more, her sight was slightly clearer than before. She placed her phone closer to her. She could roughly see the words on the screen. She took the opportunity to locate Elliot's number and rang him up.At the same time, Elliot and Ben reached the airport. They were about to fly to Ylore.When his phone rang, Elliot saw Avery's contact. He swallowed.If she had not called him, he ha
Chapter 1665
"Avery, I'm sorry that I went back on my word, but I need to go to Ylore right now." Elliot told her his decision and his reason, "Ruby is dead. Our child is gone. I need to go and have a look."It was a huge blow to Avery! She had not expected him to give her such an answer. She had told him that she was going blind, and he just told her that he was sorry and that he needed to go look for Ruby and his child. This was the first time he had referred to the child as their child. He had officially acknowledged that Ivy was his child with Ruby.Avery found the entire thing to be extremely ironic. She had suspected that the child could be hers before her eyes had begun to fail her. She had wanted to wait for Shea's child to be born before she headed to Ylore and conduct a DNA test on the child.How comical! How absurd! Although Ivy looked a lot like Layla, she was still the child that Elliot had conceived with Ruby! He said it himself!Her hand that was gripping her phone relaxed a
Chapter 1666
Ben was a little confused. "Since you had already told her that Ruby is dead, why is she still angry with you?"Elliot said, "Because I didn't say that Ivy is dead."Maybe, if he had told her that Ivy had passed away, she would not be as mad.At that thought, he remembered what Mike had told him. Mike had said that Ruby's and Ivy's existence humiliated Avery. She would always feel aggrieved. Only if Ruby and Ivy died, would the humiliation stop.Mike thought that way. Would Avery feel that way, too?This was also one of the reasons why he insisted on heading to Ylore even if he knew that Avery was angry.Ruby deserved to die, but Ivy was innocent. How could children be responsible for the sins of their parents?If he and Avery disagree on this issue, he would listen to his inner heart.It was six in the evening, and the sun was shining through the windows of Elizabeth Hospital. It was summer, and the days were longer.Wesley arrived at the lab. He looked at Avery sitting on th
Chapter 1667
At that moment, Avery could not see. She found it hard to walk. The feeling of going from being a normal person to a disabled one made her break down."Did you tell him that you can't see?" Wesley looked at her and was heartbroken. "Did you not tell him? If you told him already, he wouldn't have just abandoned you. He would surely take care of you. Just like how he took care of Shea and stayed by her side until she recovered.""I did tell him." Avery lowered her head. Her voice sounded nasally. "He went to Ylore. He said that Ruby has died. Their daughter is missing. He went to look for their daughter.""Maybe he thinks your sickness can be cured, but if he doesn't go and look for Ivy now, Ivy might die." Wesley put himself in Elliot's shoes and said, "I'll take you for an eye checkup first! Your matters with Elliot can wait until he returns from Ylore.""Wesley, don't you think he's crossed the line?" Avery's heart was cold. "I told him that I can't see, but he only said sorry.
Chapter 1668
In her current state, Avery did not want to go home.If the children were to find out that she had lost her sight, they would be extremely upset."Avery, don't be afraid. I'll find the best doctor to treat your eyes!" Mike sat down next to her and gripped her hand hard. "If we can't do it in Aryadelle, then we'll go abroad and get you treated."Avery said to Wesley, "Wesley, don't mind me. Go look after your child! I'll be fine.""Mike is not an outsider." How could Wesley possibly believe that she was fine? Wesley had explained the situation to Mike by then: "Elliot has gone to Ylore. He said that Ruby has died and that Ivy has gone missing. He knows that Avery has lost her sight, but he still insisted on going to Ylore. Mike, look after Avery. I'll go contact an eye specialist."Mike's expression darkened.Avery had already lost her sight. How dare Elliot abandon her and head to Ylore to look for his illegitimate daughter?! What a dirtbag! How absurd! After Wesley left, Mike
Chapter 1669
Elliot's face was ashen, his thin lips moved, but he did not make a sound. "I have sent someone to inform the relatives of the servants of the Gould family that their remains have been taken away by their next of kin," Nick said. "The scene was not cleaned up. You can go in and have a look!" Elliot suddenly thought of a person. "What about Paul?" Nick sighed. "Paul is Gary's adopted son. He killed a lot of people for Gary... and offended a lot of people. Including his old enemy who started this." Elliot understood. Nick meant that Paul was also killed. "Edward and Ted have come back, but they are not here to take revenge for Gary. They are trying to get their hands on Gould's family property," Nick said. "I told them you were coming, so they didn't dare step over the line. No matter where Ivy is now, the Gould family's property belongs to this child." As long as Ivy's body was not found, they would still consider her to be alive. "No one wants the Gould family's proper
