"I finish class at eight. Mom, if you're really not feeling well, I'll call you an ambulance, alright?" Nadia did not want to miss out on the lab experiment that night."Sigh, forget about it. Pretend I didn't call you! Next time, if anything happens to me, I won't need you and your brother to care for me. I'll just call your father instead!" Mrs. Raven said scornfully and hung up.At half past seven in the evening, Nadia rushed home.Mrs. Raven was munching on nuts while watching television."Didn't you say that you finish class at eight? Why are you back so early?""Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? I was a little worried, so I told my teacher and left." Nadia placed her bag down and looked at her mother. "You look well!""Nadia, your mother is well. Thank you for your concern. See, your brother didn't rush back at all," Oliver said. "Having a daughter is still better. At least they know how to worry for another person.""Nadia, I have something to tell you. Let's go to
"What? Who said that? That's terrible! My daughter is a girl through and through!" Mrs. Raven blushed in agitation. To prove that her daughter was a girl, she immediately raised Nadia's chin. "Mrs. Santos, look, my daughter doesn't have Adam's apple.""Hmm! I see that. Nadia is really a pretty girl, just like her photo.""Sigh! This is a huge misunderstanding! No wonder E looked so aloof when I met him today. Turns out, he mistook our Nadia's gender!""Mrs. Raven, don't worry. I'll call my son later to clear this misunderstanding up.""Please do! But I feel it would be much better for them to meet! Once they meet, they can truly clear up the misunderstanding," Mrs. Raven said."This is a good suggestion! I'll tell my son that later. I'll get them to set a time to meet up.""Please let E know about this. I await your answer," Mrs. Raven said politely."Okay, I'll send you a message once I let E know.""Hmm!"After they finished chatting, Mrs. Raven hung up the call."Mom!" Nad
After Nadia returned to her room, she sent E a message. She was feeling rather depressed. [I heard you met my mother today. She kept praising your looks. Please forgive me for my aesthetics, but I really don't know how good-looking you are.]Eric heard the message notification, so he hung up the video call.When he saw it was a message from Big N. He sneered and quickly typed on the screen. He replied to her, [My mother just told me that she had a video call with you and said that you are a true lady. Her proof was that you don't have an Adam's apple. Do you know magic? The last time we met, your Adam's apple was larger than an egg!]Big N: [If I don't have an Adam's apple, you'll want to be with me?]E: [You're overthinking this!]Big N: [Then, that's settled! Don't think about whether I have an Adam's apple or not. Quickly tell your mother to forget about me. I'm still young. I don't want to be in a relationship or get married.]E: [If I could control my mother, do you think I'
"Yes, but there is still a huge risk." The doctor frowned. "If it weren't for Wesley coming to me, I would be unwilling to do such a thing. Miss Tate could have done this for you."When Elliot heard Avery's name, the calmness on his face vanished."Since you have promised Wesley, the risk will naturally be borne by him," Elliot said and looked at Wesley. "Once I die, I'll have to rely on you to stay by Avery's side. Thank you."Wesley was already in a bad mood, but when he heard what Elliot said, his mood became worse."I'll bear all the responsibility after this. Don't worry," Wesley assured the doctor."Sigh! Wesley, why are you doing this? This is a huge loss for you! If your father hears about this, he will surely—""Stop talking. I don't have any choice either." Who would understand what he was going through?Shea was just outside the ward. If he did not obey her, the days would be tough."I know. Sigh! Let's do the surgery today then! We'll put it under a CT scan to have
After breakfast, Avery initially had planned to visit Mrs. Raven. The information that she had gotten stated that Mrs. Raven resigned from the hospital a few years ago and had stopped working ever since.Just when she was about to head out, her phone rang."Eric," Avery picked up the call. "What happened to your blind date?""Are you free right now? I want to meet you and talk to you."Avery looked at the time. Even if she was going to visit Mrs. Raven, it was still too early at that moment."Okay! Have you had your breakfast?""I drank some coffee. I’m already full.""Don't drink coffee on an empty stomach next time. Your stomach might not be able to take it. Let's meet outside. I'll treat you to breakfast," Avery said."Okay."Half an hour later, they met at a cafe. After ordering their food, the waiter left.Eric took his mask off. He picked up his cup of water and drank a huge gulp of water."Eric, you seem unhappy." Avery looked at him. "Have you met your blind date alr
"Eric, you should pay more attention to your blind date tomorrow!" Avery said. "After all, your mother takes this so seriously. Observe the person closely tomorrow when you see them.""Hmm, Elliot has returned to Aryadelle for quite a few days already, right? How is he doing?""He is in the hospital right now. I'm actually more relieved that he is in the hospital. If anything were to happen to him, the doctor would be able to tend to him in time," Avery sounded relieved. "I have to quickly get Angela Hill's original team members. I need to understand how the device works.""Am I taking up your time?" Eric felt that this matter was very important to her."It's fine. I'll go get busy after having breakfast with you.""Go! I'll get Fred to come to accompany me," Eric said. "We can talk after you finish this.""Okay, then. Thank you for your ticket!" Avery kept the ticket in her back. "If it goes well tomorrow, I'm going to treat you to a big meal.""Then, I await good news," Eric s
"You don't have to return it to me so anxiously." Avery took a ticket to the music festival out of her bag. "Tomorrow night, I'm going to this music festival. By then, there will be a lot of people there. If your husband can go over there, this money will be fee for the information I get.""Uh…" Mrs. Raven looked at the bank card and at the ticket. She said honestly, "Miss Tate, even if my husband could help you a little bit, it's not worth that much.""It is to me. As long as I have a little bit of useful information, it could save Elliot's life. Elliot is very important to me. He is the father of my children. He will be my husband too. Which is why these seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars is not much."Mrs. Raven was moved by her words, as well as by the amount of money. Thus, she no longer hesitated and accepted the money and ticket."Miss Tate, don't worry. When my husband returns, I will persuade him to help you. If he can't see you tomorrow. I'll return this card to yo
"Wesley, I don't think we need to be so pessimistic." The doctor went back to sleep after the surgery. When he woke up, he immediately came over to the hospital. Seeing Wesley keep watch outside the ICU, the doctor comforted him."Oh, I'm not as pessimistic as before. Before the surgery, I thought the world was going to end." Wesley has barely slept in the past 24 hours.Ever since Elliot's surgery began, he could not sleep."Hahaha, although I slept, I had a long nightmare. I dreamt that Elliot had died, then Avery came at us seeking revenge. We just kept running. It was wretched and nervous. In the end, we fell off a cliff, and I woke up."Wesley said, "Your dream is indeed a little scary.""I have never had such a scary dream in my entire life. It's not the first time dying in my dreams, nor is it the first time being chased after and killed by someone, but I feel being chased after by Avery is extraordinarily scary."Wesley was just about to say something when his phone rang.
