Chapter 1717
In Bridgedale, she returned to her residence after Lilith finished her day's work. She took off her high heels, put on slippers, and tied up her long hair as she walked toward the bathroom. She attended a car event today and had put on heavy makeup on her face. She didn't know that she was allergic to makeup, and her face felt slightly itchy. After removing her makeup, she noticed her face was red. She put on a mask and walked to the sofa to sit down. She picked up the phone, turned it on, and saw the message from Ben: [Call me after you get off work, I have something to ask you.] She lazily dialed his number, and he answered in seconds. "You got off work so early today?" Ben's voice came. "I'm a human! I got up at six o'clock this morning. If I don't get off work earlier, I'll be exhausted" Lilith cut to the chase, "What do you want to ask me?" "Why didn't you tell me about Avery's blindness? If it wasn't for Chad going to Bridgedale this time, I probably
Chapter 1718
Mike told Lilith that Elliot planned to use Tate Industries to compete with Avery's Alpha Technologies in Bridgedale. Lilith was so angry that she almost had a heart attack. She turned her anger on Ben because she was so angry and couldn't do anything to Elliot. Ben and Elliot were partners in crime. She hung up Mike's call and put Ben on her blacklist. Mike finished talking on the phone, and his mouth was dry, so he went to find some water. In the master bedroom, Avery didn't manage to fall asleep. She had to lie down for a long night to fall asleep. It was easier to fall asleep during the day, but bits and pieces of the past always came to her mind at night. She could control her emotions now, but she still couldn't help crying when she thought of the sad parts. She heard what Mike said in the living room just now. Her hearing had improved dramatically since she lost her sight. She heard Mike say that Elliot planned to use Tate Industries to compet

She should be able to find corneas in at least some parts of the world. She dialed Ben's number. After Ben picked up the call, he complained, "Didn't you put me on your blacklist? Why did you pull me out again?" "I was so angry last night! I shouldn't blame you, but you and my brother have a close relationship. You two do everything together." "He and I are business partners; it doesn't mean we both have the same attitude towards relationships." Ben retorted, "He is a little weird to Avery this time; I think he suspects that this was done by Mike. You know that Mike and Avery have a closer relationship than me and Elliot." "My God! Do you mean Elliot suspects that Ruby was killed by Avery?" Lilith's jaw dropped in shock. "I don't know exactly what he was thinking. He is in a dark mood and has no desire to talk at all. Even if I ask him, he won't say anything. I just made this guess based on his attitude towards Avery." Ben had thought a lot after learning about Avery's b

In fact, operation failure was risky whether an artificial or a natural cornea was used. The risk of failure using artificial ones was more significant than in human corneas because they have only been developed in the past two years. The price was also higher. The doctor suggested she use human corneas, but she refused. "Avery, listen to the doctor. The doctor recommended the natural one." Mike advised her, "Let's put other things aside first; the most important thing is for your eyes to heal." Avery replied calmly: "I could try the artificial cornea first! What if it is a success?" Seeing Avery's insistence, the doctor said, "That's also possible. If the operation using an artificial cornea fails, we can still transplant a human cornea." "That's right," Avery said. "Have a good rest today. We will perform surgery on you tomorrow." "Okay." Avery's heart beat uncontrollably. The two months of blindness had forced her to endure the hardships of being unable to

"Why is he suddenly interested in mechanical engineering?" Avery wondered, "He didn't tell me." "No one knows what your son is thinking. If he doesn't commit any crimes, just let him do whatever he wants." Mike didn't want to control Hayden. "Mike, go and see that professor." Avery was not at ease. "I want to know why Hayden chose to be this professor's student. I want to see how they talk in private." "Let's talk after you have the surgery!" Mike said, "If your surgery is successful, I'll make an appointment with that professor." Avery nodded. After she took a nap, Mike came out of the ward. Lilith and Ben stood outside the ward. He wondered when they would arrive. "Has Avery rested enough?" Lilith asked. "Yes." Mike looked at Ben, "She doesn't want to see you." "I guessed that." Ben had just found Avery's attending doctor and heard about Avery's choice to use an artificial cornea. Although he could understand Avery's choice, he still felt a little regret

" I must at least let Hayden recover his cost and help Hayden make some money before I can leave." Lilith said his plan, "I won't leave here for at least two more years." The expression on Ben's face suddenly became solemn. "Ben, I know you are getting old, and your parents want a grandson quickly. So I don't want you to waste time waiting for me." Lilith explained the matter to him. Ben sighed and said, "My parents started looking forward to having grandchildren when I was in my twenties. After so many years, they have long given up hope.""Oh. I'm being serious with you. If you meet a woman you like, just go ahead." "I'll wait for you for two years." Ben interrupted her, "Lilith, I'm very grateful you confessed to me today about your plans. I'm very sober, don't worry. It's not without reason that I've been single for so many years. I'm very picky." His words amused Lilith. "It's pointless to say this now. The plans don't keep up with the changes." Lilith adjusted

In the cafe outside the hospital, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and there was no one in the cafe. After receiving the approval of the coffee shop owner, Mike started smoking by the window. It's not that he was addicted to smoking, but the waiting process was tedious. It was already very late in the country. Ben really wanted to call Elliot for a chat. Even if they didn't talk about Avery, they could talk about something else. He was afraid of disturbing him. After he divorced Avery, he not only had to be busy with his work, but he also had to take care of the emotions of his two children. There was nothing he could help with. After thinking about it for a while, Ben still called Elliot. [The user you dialed is on a call, please try again later.] Who is Elliot talking to on the phone so late at night? Ben put down his phone and lit another cigarette. When Elliot finished talking on the phone, he would call him back. He knew very well that w

He didn't want to ruin Avery's Alpha Technologies. He seemed to be doing it all the same. He had hired Natalie and acquiesced Natalie to setting such a huge goal. Whether Natalie could accomplish the goal, Avery must have known about it by now. The funny thing is that even if she knew about it, she didn't come to him. Ben redialed his number without thinking. The system prompt that his phone had been turned off sounded. "What are you doing?!" Ben looked at the call that was automatically hung up by the system, "I haven't said a word of what I wanted to say!" If he had known that earlier, he would not have mentioned Natalie. Ben was very tight in his chest, so he came out of the cafe. He walked to the door of the hospital and called Lilith. Avery heard that Lilith had answered Ben's call in the ward and immediately said to Lilith, "Lilith, go accompany him! I just happened to be a little sleepy and was going to sleep." Lilith knew she was lying. Sh
