Of course, Elliot understood this, but he was not as nervous as Avery.Ivy was his daughter. He would not regret sacrificing his life for her. However, he would not say such a thing out loud. If he were to say it, Avery would surely be angry."Too bad." Elliot swallowed. He said, "We've suffered for so long, but we still haven't heard any news about Ivy.""I refused to believe it, but now, we just have to accept that we won't find her… no matter how hard we try. We have to accept this fact."Elliot listened quietly without saying anything."Elliot, let's put lay this matter to rest! We still have to continue living." Avery looked at him. She knew what he was thinking.All this while, he had been able to get anything he wanted. He had never suffered defeat. It was natural that he would not easily give up his search for Ivy. "Hmm." Elliot agreed because he did not want her to worry. He did not want her to be tormented by Ivy. "Do you want to eat something?" Avery had brought
"Everyone's time will come, you don't have to worry," Elliot said very softly."You sure are nonchalant. Do you know how worried Avery was and how much she effort she put into trying to save you?" growled Tammy, rebuking him. "You're much more worrisome than your children. Look at how good Layla is, look at how obedient Robert is! I don't need to mention Hayden. He has never once made anyone worry about him.""Tammy, enough." Jun gave his wife a look. "Elliot had been set up. It was not as if he wanted to get abducted. Let the past stay in the past."Avery came out of the bathroom and opened the thermos. She poured some of the soup into a bowl. She took the bowl to the side of the bed and sat down. She planned to feed Elliot."Actually, when I first heard that he had secretly taken the device out of his head, I was furious. I was already thinking of what I was going to say when I saw him, but I also knew that yelling at him would not soothe my anger. I was sure I was going to hit
Lilith thought that Tammy's suggestion was great, but it might be challenging to execute.At that moment, only the two of them knew the plan. They had to rope people in to help them."I'll talk to Ben tonight. Let's see if he agrees to it or not.""Lilith, do you really need to know whether he will agree to it or not? You aren't even married yet! You have to make him obey you." As someone who had been through it all, Tammy gave Lilith some advice. "You have to be tough on men. Avery and Elliot are the best examples. Your brother used to be extremely arrogant. Look at him now, Avery firmly holds the reigns."Lilith laughed. "It's Avery who is spoiling him, right? Not only did she help him shave, but she also fed him soup. If Ben was lying in bed, I wouldn't have that much patience! It's not as if his arms were broken and he can't move.""Cough! Cough! What if Ben doesn't help us?" Tammy was afraid that the plan would fail."I don't think he will refuse, right? We are helping Avery
While drinking water, she looked at her phone.Last night, she had sent a message to the Marshall's Award committee leader. She told him about Elliot, hoping they could quickly give the public an explanation.She had not received a reply when she had left the house. She had not received a reply until later that morning. She had sent them the message the day before, making sure it was daytime in Bridgedale when she sent it. Clearly, they were trying to avoid this.Avery's expression turned stern. She placed her thermos on the table and sent another message to him. "If you don't give me a reply by today, I will expose this absurd lie to the public!"About five minutes later, Avery's phone rang.She immediately got up from her chair and said to Elliot, "I'm going to take this call."Elliot nodded and watched her walk out of the ward.Avery took her phone and left the ward. She headed to the corridor nearby. She answered the call, and she heard the voice of the Marshall's Award co
Avery hesitated.Elliot was a prideful man. If the public were to know about this, he would surely be the topic of conversation and rumors.He usually kept a low profile. He would not want something like this to become public. "Miss Tate, I implore you to reconsider. I'll talk to the others on the committee about this matter. We'll see if there is a better solution. Can you give us a little time, please?" The committee leader noticed her hesitation. He immediately offered her a way out."Okay, I hope that all of you will consider this carefully." Avery only had a short moment of hesitation, but she did not change her stance. "If you don't change your answer by then, no matter what threat you use, be it my teacher's reputation or Elliot's, I will not be threatened." "Okay. I understand."After the call, Avery returned to the ward, only to find that Elliot had vanished."Elliot!" Avery yelled out in shock. Her yells attracted the bodyguard who was outside the ward."Miss Tate
Elliot heard what Avery said. He looked at her with his deep-set eyes. "You are disappointed, aren't you?"Avery smiled. "Only a little. I know that our children will eventually leave us." "You don't have to view this matter so pessimistically. They are not leaving us. They are finishing what they are meant to do on this earth.""When Layla leaves us, I hope that you will be this open-minded as well." Hearing what Avery said, the calm immediately vanished from Elliot's face. That evening, Lilith brought what she had purchased back to Ben's luxurious mansion.Lilith was staying at his place at the moment. Initially, she had been a little embarrassed about moving in, but later, when Ben left for Bridgedale, Ben's parents called Lilith over to stay with them, so that they could look out for each other. Lilith could not convince them otherwise, so she officially moved in.To Lilith, the only issue with marrying Ben was the children she had to bear him. She did not have trouble with
"I knew that you wouldn't mind, but you'll have to talk to your parents!" said Lilith. know that you won't mind, but you have to talk to your parents!" Lilith urged, "And as for how we are going to execute it, you'll have to help. Tammy and I only came up with the idea. You're not expecting us to do everything, right?"Ben looked at how excited she was. He asked, "What about our wedding? Do you have any plans for it?"Lilith took out her phone and looked at the calendar. After scrolling through her calendar, she casually pointed at a day on the calendar. "Why not do it on this day? Before New Year's. After the wedding, we can go on our honeymoon and still be back in time for New Year's. What do you think?"Ben furrowed his brows. "We will only have a few days for the honeymoon? Lilith, you're being perfunctory. I remembered that Elliot and Avery's honeymoon was half a month.""Why are you comparing us to them? I remembered their wedding clearly. It was unprecedented in its grandio
Lilith furrowed her brows and accepted the documents. She opened them."Why is this so troublesome? Is it this troublesome when other people get married, too?" Lilith through the documents and had a look. "What the hell? Do we have to perform an act? What kind of terrible interests do your parents have? Do you think Elliot would perform in public for all of you?"Ben said, "This is the wedding my parents prepared for us.""I know… but don't you find it embarrassing that they asked you to perform?""No! What is there to be embarrassed about? It's just singing, dancing, and acting, right? I'm a fun person."Lilith stared at him."I got further than you did, and there is also a bride singing a love song." Ben took a deep breath, "Not only that, but the groom also makes an appearance in a cartoon dinosaur costume. The bride must kiss it for it to transform into the groom…""Bloody hell! Who designed this? This is so childish!""My mother came up with it.""I never would have thoug
