"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

Avery felt moved by his words.He had spent the past few days in silence, and she had thought that he would never open up to her ever again. She had not expected that he was worried about putting her in danger."I've talked to Angela and she said she's only interested in the award and promised that she won't come after us, so don't worry. No one has come looking for trouble since you come back." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Elliot, we don't have to worry about things that haven't happened yet...""Angela will marry Dean Jennings," he said."I know. Are you worried that Dean will come after us?" Avery looked up. "They will be getting married in half a month so at least for another two weeks, Dean will have no time to deal with us."The two chatted quietly as the nanny poured two bowls of soup and brought them to the dining room.Avery immediately took Elliot's hand and led him into the dining room."You've lost a lot of weight. I want you to recover." Avery sat him dow

She remained silent when she heard his answer. All her pretenses and strength she had summoned up collapsed when she realized that Elliot could not face the children or bring himself to go outside because he felt like he could die at any moment."You won't die." She found her courage again after a brief moment of silence. "Elliot, let's go take a nap! We will go to the hospital when we wake up."She was not asking. She had allowed him a few days to rest, and they could not delay the visit to the hospital any longer.Leah's parents arrived at Bridgedale after she had asked them to leave Aryadelle because Natalie was in Bridgedale.When Natalie was in a meeting, her assistant came to tell her that her aunt and uncle-in-law were here. She knew why they were here and did not see them right away, but instead, she returned to her office after a little over an hour."Natalie, your uncle and I went to Aryadelle to visit Leah, and she is severely injured. She's now in the hospital," Mrs. K

A sharp pain shot up her arm and she realized she was not hallucinating.Natalie did not want to face them and immediately turned around, deciding to queue up after they were gone. To her surprise, Avery suddenly turned around to talk to Elliot and spotted Natalie from the corner of her eyes.Elliot noticed that Avery was staring at someone and turned his head in the same direction.When he saw Natalie, her face felt unfamiliar to him.Natalie had thought that the two would come over to confront her, but they simply stared at her. Neither one of them did anything, and Avery only glared at her.Natalie ignored Avery's glare. She had Dean to protect her, so she had nothing to fear. After a few moments of hesitation, she strode toward them.Avery immediately grabbed Elliot's hand tightly when she saw Natalie approaching.Natalie was soon before them, and she stopped before Avery's bodyguard could stop her from going forward."What a coincidence to run into you two in a hospital."

The assistant replied. [If we can obtain Dream Maker, why bother with Tate Industries?][...] Natalie had not expected Dean to be this ambitious.[Natalie, I know that you are proud and have your own point of view, but speaking from experience, it's best that you just listen to your father. That's the only way you can be more successful.][I'm really curious about how much he is paying you each year to get you to be so obedient.][... You said you ran into Avery and Elliot in the hospital. Why were you at the hospital?][I've been hit.][... By who? Can we talk on the phone now?][My aunt. I've stopped considering her my aunt, though, from the moment she hit me.][I was wondering who had the guts to hit you. Are you free tonight? I will buy you dinner.]Natalie hesitated.Dean's assistant was a divorced man in his forties. he looked awfully greasy but had a brilliant way with his job so Dean trusted him.Natalie had enemies in all directions at the present. Avery and Elliot

The CT scan showed that there was a metal object inside his head.Avery's eyes glittered with disappointment. She had hoped that Angela was lying about bringing the dead back to life, but with the results of the CT scan, her last hope was destroyed."What's wrong?" Elliot studied her expression and asked, "Is it bad?"She shook her head. "No. The report just suggests that there's a foreign object in your brain. Let's go take some other tests. Once everything is done, your finalized report should be ready." She paused, before continuing, "Elliot, don't be too pessimistic. Professor Greens used to say that I'm better than Angela. If she can do this, I will soon understand her research.""I'm so worried that you would exhaust yourself.""I'm not tired. Not at all. I will only be tired if you aren't with me. Without you, eating, sleeping, and breathing all feel tiring. With you by my side now, I feel motivated." She wrapped her arms around his and grabbed his hand and squeezed them. "
