Chapter 296
Screech! Avery immediately slammed on the emergency brakes, stopping her car by the road.An accident? Death? An explosion went off in her brain, then tears quickly fell! "Mommy, why did you suddenly stop the car?" Layla exclaimed. Hayden got nervous too. "Mommy, why are you crying?""Mommy, what happened to you? Don't cry!" Layla said and started to choke up. She started to cry too.Avery heard her children's voices and suddenly drew a sharp breath.She wiped the tears off her face with both hands and said hoarsely, "I'll send you two home. Wait for me there. I have something I need to handle."The car was once again on the road. Layla and Hayden were still quite worried."Mommy, what happened? Why are you so sad?"Avery took a deep breath and lied, "Something… happened to Mommy's friend. When you go home, behave. I might be back late. If Uncle Mike is not home, I'll call him to come to take care of you two.""Oh, Mommy! Don't cry! Your friend will get better!" Layla
Chapter 297
Under the streetlights, Avery saw her mother's bloody face. She raised her trembling fingers and placed them under her mother's nose.A breeze blew by. Avery wailed, "Mom, I know you're not dead! You promised to be with me for the rest of my life! I'm going to send you to the hospital now! Don't be afraid! I'll be with you! I'll always be with you!"…When Chad found out about Laura's accident, he hesitated for a while before calling Elliot. He would not have disturbed Elliot except he wanted to know that Avery at least had someone by her side. "Mr. Foster, Avery's mother, met an accident this evening. She died on the spot. Avery still can't accept this news. She sent her mother to the hospital. Mike is taking care of the kids at home. She'll be alone dealing with her mother's funeral. I feel it would be hard on her. Do you want to—""Which hospital?" Elliot swallowed. His voice sounded stern yet nervous. "Which hospital is she at right now?!"His terrifying expression and voi

Elliot has only slept with Zoe once, yet she got pregnant from that time? He released the handles to the door of the operation theater.Chad noticed the changes in his expression. His heart was beating wildly. What happened? Why was he not entering to see Avery?"Chad, stay here," Elliot said bitterly, "I have to go back."Chad nodded. He dared not ask any questions. After Elliot left, Chad pushed the door to the operation theater open and took a glance inside.Avery had taken her jacket off and placed it over Laura. She sat listlessly next to Laura. Avery grabbed Laura's hand tightly, crying, and muttering something.Chad's eyes reddened upon seeing this. He closed the door. He took his phone out, found Wesley's contact, and called him.Once he notified Wesley, he left the hospital and drove back to Starry River Villa. He could do nothing for Avery at the hospital, so he thought he might swap places with Mike. He would take care of her two kids while Mike went to take care of

Mike immediately took off his jacket and draped it over her."Go back!" Avery's eyes were filled with tears, but her voice was aloof and stern. "How could you let an outsider take care of the kids!"Her mother had passed away. She had decided that she could not let anything happen to her children. If anything were to happen to her children, she would not be able to live.Mike looked at how sad and angry she was. His mind was a mess."I'll go back now! Stop crying!" Mike reached out and wiped the tears from her face. "I won't bring him home in the future! Don't cry anymore!" Mike said frantically before leaving quickly.While all this was going on, Elliot was at another hospital. He pushed the door to the ward open. Zoe was on the bed, and when she saw him, she immediately squeezed two streams of tears out of her eyes.Rosalie strode to the door and pulled him in."Elliot, how could you two be so careless? The child is already so huge, yet none of you knew about it." Although Ros

Mike and the children were at Starry River Villa having breakfast when he told them about Laura's death."I know that you are very sad, and I'm very sad too. But, your Grandma is gone. I hope that you can be strong for Mommy because she is extremely sad right now. If you are sad too, your Mommy will be even more in pain."Mike took each child in one arm and hugged them and kissed them on the head.Layla did not take the news well. She was sobbing, and her lips were quivering. She said weakly, "I want Grandma… I want to look for Grandma…"Hayden's eyes were wet too, but he was much stronger. Not only did he not cry, but he even hugged Layla. "Layla, don't cry. I'll be with you.""I don't want to be apart from Grandma. Without Grandma, what would happen to us?" Layla felt as if the sky had been ripped apart. Laura had been the one to send her to school, made delicious food for her, and who had taken her out to play. "Layla, don't be afraid. Without Grandma, we can still live well.

"I'll send more men over. They will be on twenty-four hour guard duty," said the captain before changing the topic, "I hear your girlfriend is pregnant. Congratulations!""I don't like kids." Elliot's face darkened a little. His tone turned cold too. "If there are any updates on the case, inform me at once."The captain nodded. "Okay. How is Miss Tate? She was not too well yesterday. I wonder how she is today."Elliot's gaze darkened. His lips thinned into a tight line. He got up from the sofa and left. He could not answer that question.He had been outside the operation theater the previous night, but his mother had called him, and he did not go in. Zoe's pregnancy had become an obstacle in his mind. He could barely face it, let alone face Avery.Avery slept the afternoon away in the ward. She slowly opened her eyes. Before grief could enter her mind, she heard Hayden say, "Mommy, I'll go to whichever school you want me to go to."Then, she heard Layla's soft but hoarse voice,

At seven thirty in the morning, the black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled into the courtyard.Mrs. Cooper had not slept the entire night. When she saw Elliot returning, she immediately walked to the door. She had told Shea the truth the previous night, and Shea had become rather agitated. She blamed herself for that.Words spoken could not be taken back.Elliot entered with a gust of chilly wind."Master Elliot, I have done a terrible thing. Please punish me." Mrs. Cooper followed Elliot.Elliot froze. He looked at Mrs. Cooper with red eyes."I told Shea last night about how Dr. Sanford threatened you, and Shea is now refusing treatment." Mrs. Cooper lowered her head. "It's my fault! I shouldn't have told her that!""Why did you tell her then?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. He looked gloomy."She said that she hoped you and Avery could be together, so I couldn't resist telling her the truth," Mrs. Cooper said hoarsely, "Fire me! I'm too old and clumsy. I'm no longer fit to serve you."
Chapter 303
Avery came out of Laura's room.When Mike saw her, he thought he saw a ghost. She had not seen daylight for the past few days. She looked pale and weary. On top of that, she had barely eaten anything. She looked emaciated.When the children saw her, they were stunned too.Avery turned and entered her room. Mike immediately chased after her. "Avery, don't tell me you're going to work?" Mike guessed.Avery took out a set of clothes from her closet and headed to the bathroom. "You stay at home with the kids. I'll head to the office and have a look.""Oh, so I'll stay at home and look after the kids in the future?" Mike asked.Avery shook her head. "I'll hire bodyguards.""Shouldn't it be nannies?" "No need." Avery planned to care for all her children's needs herself. The bodyguards only needed to send the children to school and pick them up from school, ensuring their safety. That was enough."By the way, I heard that Laura's accident was not an ordinary accident but murder," Mi
