"You win." Leah admitted defeat. "You are so good to me, George. Sometimes, I don't even know what to do about that."George cleared his throat in embarrassment and changed the subject. "Have you made up with your parents?""I guess! They've made a lot of changes for my sake, which means that they care about me after all. Besides, they promised that they won't make me marry someone I don't like."Leah had leaped into the river because she had been forced to do so, but she had benefited from it in the end. Had that not happened, her broken relationship with her parents would never have healed so quickly."So are you just going to work here for a while and go back to your parents?" George asked.Leah could not help but chuckle. "Why are you asking? You don't want me to leave?"George blushed and said, "No. That's not it. You can go if you want to...""Are you lying? Look at how flushed you are. It's not embarrassing that you like me."George had not expected her to be so forward
Chapter 2098
Ben hesitated. "I'm just worried about you.""What exactly are you worried about?" Elliot asked. "That I have nothing to eat or that I will catch a cold? Or are you worried that you won't get to see me one last time if I drop dead?"Ben was rendered completely speechless. "Elliot, that's not what I mean... I am just worried about you because it's been so long since I saw you, and I just wanted to talk to you more often...""You are just worried that we won't have time to talk again in the future!" Elliot said."Of course, not! I'm confident in Avery," Ben said sincerely. "Since you are getting a new phone today, I will go back tomorrow.""You knew about Natalie, didn't you?""You mean how she bribed Holly Blanche into tricking and trapping you two in Ylore?" Ben asked. "That woman is pure evil! One really wouldn't be able to tell that she's such a person from her appearance. She used to fawn over you, and I just thought of her as one of many women who pursued you. Who would have

"Avery has become so gentle lately. It's a bit hard for me to adjust to it," Ben said. "If only she was like this back then, you two wouldn't be fighting so much.""I'd rather she act as she did before. At least that would mean that I'm still the same man I was." Elliot set the phone down."Elliot, what's happening to you now is just temporary. Just think of this as taking a break." Ben could understand why Elliot was having a hard time adjusting. "It's always darkest before dawn.""Ben, are you really that optimistic?" Elliot looked at him and drawled, "Both you and Avery are just lying."Ben felt uncomfortable under Elliot's stare. "Would you rather I sit here and discuss your funeral with you instead? Elliot, I wasn't lying when I said I believe in Avery. It's not to calm you down or because I’m in denial. If Avery fails, no one else will be capable of saving you.""If she has to pay a high price to do so, I'd rather she doesn't try.""Don't overthink this and just let her try
Chapter 2100
The designer noted the request and took the dress away.Once the designer was gone, Dean helped Angela to the couch and they both sat down."Angela, you should have mentioned this the last time so that the designer won't have to redo the dress. It's not that I care about the money, but this is wasting time," Dean said gently."I'm sorry, Dean! It's my fault. I didn't think too much of it when we were picking out the style, and now that the wedding is getting closer, I am feeling a little nervous..." she explained. "I've always lived a carefree life before I met you, and after marrying you, I will be living my life with a different identity. I'm just nervous!""Don't get nervous, Angela. I won't let you down. I spent a lot of time fooling around before I met you, and I'm sick of that. I only wish to settle down now, and you are the best person for me." He held her hand and consoled her. "I don't like black, but I'm willing to change for your sake. You are the only woman who can make

"It's just a small, yet powerful device. How does it even work?"Avery went over and handed her a few documents."These are the documents that explain the theory, but I am having a hard time understanding them. Without conducting experiments myself, these just look like fantasy stories.""The design of it looks like an electronic board. Have you seen one before? It's like she had connected every single nerve inside the brain onto that board. It sounds absurd, but Angela made a bold move to try it, and it worked."This was far beyond Avery's medical knowledge, and it was a concept that she would not have even dared imagine, even in her wildest dreams. "Elly was right just now. To understand the device as soon as possible, the only way is to take it out so that you can better understand how it works."Avery immediately shook her head. "No way. Elliot is barely surviving using this device. What if he dies when we take the device out?""Yeah. We are just saying that this is the fas

Mike was about to say something when he spotted Elliot from the corner of his eyes, so he winked at Avery.Avery turned around and saw Elliot walking toward them. She grinned and said, "Elliot, have you slept well?""Yeah."In truth, Elliot had not slept at all. He had been spending all day either eating or sleeping and he could not possibly be asleep for that long. He used to go to the gym every day before, but now, he did not even dare to mention the idea of exercising. Seeing how fragile his body was at the moment, surviving alone was a luxury, so he did not bother considering exercising."Do you want to go outside for some fresh air? Let's go take a stroll!" she said, before glancing outside. "The sun has just gone down so the temperature is just right."He studied her face for a while, before agreeing."The temperature is dropping, so make sure you two grab your jackets!" Mike yelled.When Elliot was fine, Mike had never bothered worrying about him, but since Elliot, at the

"I have a high threshold for pain. There might be some discomfort, but I haven't sensed anything.""Haha! Maybe. You aren't really afraid of pain." It's been a while since Avery had heard him joking and felt relieved that he did."I'm not afraid of dying, either," he said, taking advantage of the relaxing atmosphere. "Avery, you might be a genius, but you won't be able to recreate a device exactly like the one inside my head in such a short period of time."The smile on Avery's face froze as she was confused by why Elliot had brought up such a heavy subject."Elliot, have you seen me bringing people inside the house and saw them leave?" She tried to comprehend what he had meant by what he said."I did hear them," he admitted. However, he did not say what he had done earlier because of that, but because he had seen the messages Sebastian sent Avery the night before.He had been waiting for Avery to mention this to him since last night, but she had remained quiet about it. Judging

Once the car took off, Avery swiftly reeled in her emotions and turned to look at Elliot. "Don't be too pessimistic, Elliot. We can't give up unless there's no other option."Elliot saw Hayden just now and noticed how Hayden was looking more and more like him. Elliot knew that he was an introverted child because he grew up in a suffocating family, but what about Hayden?If Elliot truly died at such a young age, he would surely fail as a father. He would never have time to make up for what he owed his children."Elliot, I thought about it, and instead of just staying home doing nothing, why don't you find something to do?" Avery reflected on how cynical Elliot had been acting and said, "Maybe you won't be overthinking if you have something to do.""Yeah," he muttered."I'll buy you a laptop tomorrow. You can use it to work or just do anything you want.""Sure.""Can we just forget about the fight we had just now?" She looked straight into his eyes. "Elliot, you can't begin to ima
