Chapter 2080
About half an hour later, Wesley, Kiara, and Robert went to Layla's school to pick her up.Layla was worried for Leah and George's safety, and she looked extremely sad. She looked like she had just stopped crying. Tears stained her face. "Layla!" Robert saw Layla from afar. He immediately called her and ran over to her.Kiara followed Robert, trying to chase after him.Layla was a little surprised that Robert and Kiara were there. In order to maintain her older sister image, she quickly collected her emotions."Why are you two here?" Layla was given a huge hug by Robert before Kiara joined in."Layla, they insisted on coming to pick you up." Wesley took Layla's bag and asked, "What happened to George?""Uncle George said that my teacher has been kidnapped, so he went to rescue her." Layla was a little sad. "I wonder if he has found her.""Your teacher has been kidnapped? He could have chosen to call the police," Wesley said in a serious manner. "He left you alone at school. Wh

"Natalie is my cousin. I was wrong to betray her. If you were to kill me, my parents would surely suspect that it was her. This would do no good to my cousin's family, so I'll kill myself. You don't need to do it," said Leah. "If I were to die on my own, my family would think that I killed myself. This matter won't blow up. This would be good for you all too."The two perpetrators were stunned by her words."How do you want to kill yourself?""Isn't there a river by the second ring road? Send me there. I'll jump down from the bridge." Leah's face was calm as if she had already welcomed death. "The last time I passed by, I had a look. One would surely die jumping from that height."The perpetrators looked at each other. There was indeed a river by the second ring road. There was also a bridge. Many chose to jump down that bridge yearly to end their lives.The people of Avonsville have seen a lot of news of people jumping into the river, so the perpetrators tacitly agreed to Leah's

"Your Daddy is still sleeping. It's only six-something in the morning right here," Avery softly replied to Layla before greeting the others. "Wesley, Shea, Kiara, and Robert. I miss all of you! I want to go back to see you all.""Avery, are you all alright?" Wesley asked, concerned."Hmm. He has returned to me for an entire day," Avery's gaze was gentle. Her tone was light too. "Don't worry about him. Especially Shea…""Mommy, I was also very worried for Daddy!" Layla grumbled a little."I know you were worried for Daddy, but your Aunt Shea has lost a lot of weight because of your daddy's incident. I feel terrible for her," Avery explained to Layla, "Of course, no matter what happened to your daddy, I hope that this won't affect your learning and your life.""It doesn't affect me. I have been studying well every day. Mommy, go wake Daddy up! All of us want to see him. If you don't want to wake him up, let us see him. I'm sure that's okay, right?" Layla tried to bargain with Avery.

Avery knew that he must be awake. Layla and Robert had yelled out for their Daddy so loudly, how could he have not heard?He went to bed early the night before. No matter what time he fell asleep, lying for so long, he should have gotten a good sleep already.He wanted to run away. He did not know how to face his children.Avery could understand him. However, running away was not a solution.Her phone screen suddenly lit up. She took her phone to have a look. It was a message from Wesley.[Avery, what happened to Elliot?]Sure enough, nothing could escape Wesley's eyes. She had asked them to give Elliot and her a little time. Wesley could sense her sadness when she said that sentence, so he suspected that Elliot might be in a more serious condition.Avery sat by the side of the bed and replied to Wesley's message.Behind her, Elliot slowly opened his eyes. When Layla called him 'Daddy' the first time, he was already awake.No. It should be the moment when Avery got out of bed

Avery immediately turned around to look at Elliot. His back was facing her, as if there was a line drawn between their two worlds.Avery was lost in thought as she looked at his strong and broad back. As she stared at him silently, she felt an inexplicable surge of courage and motivation. She gently laid down next to him and hugged him around his chest."Elliot, just stay next to me just like yesterday and I'm happy," She leaned against his back and gently muttered.He said nothing, but she knew that he heard her. She did not need a reply. She knew how miserable he was feeling. She only asked that he give her a little time to find a way to solve this.In Aryadelle, George drove to the hospital to ask the medical staff about the girl who jumped into the river."Are you a member of her family?" the nurse asked.George was stunned for a while before nodding. "I'm her friend. How is she doing right now?""She's still being resuscitated. Are you going to help her pay for her medica

"I'm not asking you to rely on your parents. They are old, and it is kind enough of them not to hurt you," said George. "I previously said that I will protect you. I broke my promise today.""What does this have to do with you? George, Natalie won't cause me any more trouble in the future. I will be fine in the future. You take care of Layla…""I will make arrangements for the future. Don't worry," George said sternly.The doctor brought the bill over and passed it to George. "Go help her check in! Also, she has suffered a little concussion. Don't talk to her too much. Let her rest."George awkwardly nodded before pushing her into the inpatient unit.After checking her in, George found a caretaker to care for Leah. After settling all that, George drove back to Elliot's mansion.After telling Layla about Leah's condition, Layla got him to go to the hospital to care for Leah until Leah was discharged."Layla, Ms. Kennedy is a good lady. I'm clumsy. I don't know how to care for her
Chapter 2086
Wilson stepped out and saw the strange men standing outside the gate, so he shouted, "Who are you? Why are you here?"One of the men said, "Hi, is this Miss Avery Tate's house? We are Professor Greens—"Before he could finish, Avery ran outside the house in her slippers and hurried to the yard to open the gate. "Thank you for delivering these to me. Come in and have a glass of water!" Avery let them in and reached for one of the boxes in their hands."Miss Tate, these are quite heavy. We will carry them inside for you!"The two men swiftly carried the boxes inside."You don't have to take off your shoes. Just walk straight in." Avery followed closely behind them."Miss Tate, what are they carrying?" Wilson walked next to Avery and asked, "Is it from that old man?""Yeah. Professor Greens is a respectable professor. Even if you can't remember his name, you shouldn't refer to him as 'that old man'," she corrected."Oh... Okay!" Wilson responded sheepishly.Once the boxes were in

Research into artificial hearts was common knowledge, but no one had ever heard of an artificial brain. That was probably because it was harder to control when compared to hearts. There was no known patient who survived long with an artificial heart and the artificial brain in Elliot's head would not last. He could die at any moment.Avery returned to the house and saw the two boxes opened and Elliot was holding two pieces of paper. She recovered immediately from the initial shock and smiled as she said, "This is the data Angela submitted to the committee for the Marshall's Award... well, a copy of them, anyway. I asked Professor Greens to help me with it.""Miss Tate, I thought Professor Greens quitted the committee?" Wilson asked in confusion.Professor Greens had declared that he would resign from the committee after his argument with the leader, but he had forced himself to return to the committee at Avery's request.Professor Greens had been in the Marshall's Award committee f
