After Elliot put his phone down, he found that he had completely lost his need to sleep.He placed his phone by the nightstand and made to alight from the bed to go wash up.He slowly rose. He had just worn his slippers when Avery turned around and opened her eyes."Darling, what are you doing? What time is it now?" Avery asked groggily in a hoarse voice."It's still early. Only a little after five. Go back to sleep. I'm going to the toilet.""Darling, don't tell me you didn't sleep at all last night. I dreamed that you kept flip-flopping around." Avery rubbed her eyes. Seeing how dim it was, she said, "Turn on the lights. I don't feel like sleeping anymore."Elliot obeyed and turned on the room lights.If things were as usual, he would surely have let Avery continue sleeping. However, at that moment, he was a little excited. He believed that Avery would feel the same way."Avery, the people that I sent have already found where the grandma stays."Avery's eyes instantly opened

The old woman opened the door with a trash bag in her hand.When she opened the door, she was instantly greeted by three burly men standing by the door."You…" She dropped the trash bag and let out a gasp."Hello, Grandma. We are here to look for Irene." The leader among them immediately smiled what he thought to be a kind, pleasant smile.The old woman looked at the three men giving her fake smiles. She was in shock.However, she soon guessed who they were working for.One on hand, she blamed herself. She should not have called Avery of her own volition. On the other hand, she was glad that Madam could predict the future and had sensed danger ahead, preventing another tragedy from happening."Oh… Who are you all?" The old lady quickly calmed down once she understood the situation. "How do you know Irene?""Grandma, we were sent here by Mr. Foster. We mean you no ill harm. We only want to confirm if Irene is Mr. Foster's daughter," the leader said politely.The old woman laugh

"Do you need to give an answer to your boss? It's not that I'm not willing to cooperate with you, but Irene is having a fever. If you guys were to stay here, she'd be afraid… Isn't there a DNA test that can check the relationship between a parent and a child? Why don't you take a few strands of her hair and let your boss do a test with it?" the old woman suggested."Hairs are very troublesome! It seems like it needs to be the kind that has the root for it to work. If we don't pluck it right, then wouldn't it be a waste of effort? It's safer to just draw some blood!" said the bodyguard.Once the old woman heard that he wanted to draw some blood, her expression immediately darkened. "Irene is sick, so she's weaker. Also, she's very afraid of pain. She fears getting injections the most. If you were to draw her blood, she certainly would cry."Before she had even finished her sentence, the little girl on the bed burst into tears. "I don't want to get an injection… Grandma, I don't want

Avery was speechless.The ravioli had been made by the two of them.Avery was the one who had made the wrapping while Elliot had minced the meat for the filling.This was the first time either of them had done such things. They did not have any prior experience, so they did it completely by following the tutorial online.The taste of the ravioli they had made was no match for the frozen ravioli sold in the store.Before they had heard the bad news, both of them were in a good mood, so they had not noticed the true taste of the ravioli.However, after they had heard the bad news, the awfulness of the ravioli was completely obvious.Not long after that, Layla got out of bed and came to the dining room for breakfast.After Layla took a look at the breakfast on the table, she helped herself to a few pieces of ravioli without hesitation.Elliot swallowed, wanting to tell his daughter not to eat them.Avery shot him a look that warned him not to.Layla sat down in one of the din

"Avery, Robert likes the ravioli that you guys made very much," Mrs. Cooper said to Avery while smiling. "He asked for another helping after he finished one bowl of it. He said the ravioli today is really too good."Mrs. Cooper had deliberately come over to tell Avery this because she wanted to make her happy.She had seen how nervous Avery and Elliot were when Layla had eaten the ravioli earlier.It was already something very worthy of encouragement when people like them, who did not usually cook, could make ravioli.Mrs. Cooper had had some of the ravioli that they had made as well. The taste was quite ordinary, but they absolutely were not awful."Really?" Avery was drawn to the dining room.Robert was holding the spoon himself and was bringing the last of the ravioli in the bowl to his little mouth."Slow down a little, sweetie. You'll still have breakfast at your kindergarten!" Avery walked to the side of her son and wiped his mouth for him with a napkin."Mom, the ravioli

Avery almost forgot that she had been the one to call Tammy."Tammy, your husband has just given Elliot a call and said that there's going to be a cold wave coming. He told us not to head out. I've checked the weather just now, and what cold wave? Is the weather forecast that your husband saw different from ours?""How is it not considered a cold wave? There's going to be a rapid drop of six degrees on Christmas! Do you have an idea of what a six-degree drop would do?" Tammy said exaggeratedly to express her fear of the six-degree change. "For people like your husband, who has just recovered from something so serious, these six degrees could very well be a fatal blow to him."After a pause, Avery said, "It shows that it's going to drop five degrees over here.""It's going to drop six degrees here! Regardless if it's five or six degrees, it's still a great drop in temperature!" Tammy spoke extremely quickly. "Therefore, before Christmas, both of you should not head outside! If you f

Both of them knew that there was close to no hope.They had three children, and all of their children looked somewhat like them, so Ivy could not possibly look anything like them.Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, Sebastian had progressed his plans.Once Dean's funeral was over, Sebastian had officially taken over MediLove Pharmaceutical.The first problem he now had to tackle was the new project his father had worked on alongside Stanley.On the day of the funeral, Stanley had tried talking to Sebastian about the project, but Sebastian had been too busy during the day, so they had arranged a meeting at night.Sebastian had made a reservation in the hotel and invited Stanley there for dinner, sending everyone inside the room away upon Stanley's arrival."Sebastian, let's cut to the chase. You know about the collaboration between your father and me. If this project works, it is going to generate endless wealth for the both of us," Stanley said. "Do you know why I want to work with you gu

Sebastian immediately took out a lighter to light his cigarette for him.Stanley smoked and started to consider how he could convince Avery."By the way, Sebastian, about the lawsuit your siblings filed against you, are you confident in winning?" Stanley asked"I'm not sure what angle they are working, so I will deal with them when they show their hands!" Sebastian said. "Don't worry. I've consulted my lawyer and, even if they win, the court will still judge based on the will my father wrote and would probably just provide them with a small portion as compensation.""That's true. Natalie came looking for me and I ignored her." Stanley narrowed his eyes. "I heard that she killed Dean, so I'd prefer not to associate myself with her.""That's the right call, Mr. Palmer. Working with Natalie is all great if everything goes smoothly, but, should there be any conflict, well… You know what will happen, seeing how she tried to assassinate Elliot and killed my father.""I know. That's why
