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."

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

Avery's grip on her coffee cup tighter.She was not interested in Wanda talking about Elliot."Your brother is in prison. How could he have hired a killer?" She looked at Wanda and said, "You did it, right?"? Wanda maintained her smile. "Avery, you should not resort to slander! In Aryadelle, murder is a crime punishable by death! Even hiring a killer is too! This was what you told me previously. How could I have done such a thing?"It was as if she was saying, "I'm not an idiot! Even if I did it, I will never admit it."The coffee sloshed inside the cup as Avery tightened her grip around the cup."Do you know why I asked to meet you?" Avery released the coffee cup.Wanda glanced at Avery coldly. "Avery, your mother is dead. It's useless to pester me about it. I said I didn't do it, which means I didn't do it. Even if you kill me, I didn't—"Avery got up from the chair. She swallowed her bitterness. "Of course, as long as you won't admit it, it wasn't you who did it."Then, Av

Mike was speechless."One. Two…" Avery started counting.Mike's face flushed. "Avery! Fine, live with your own mess! I'll leave you alone!"Then, he turned and left the police station.Coming out of the police station, Mike called Chad."Chad! Is your boss around? I'm looking for him!" Mike was standing outside the police station, with the icy wind blowing against him. He was feeling extremely aggrieved.Despite how he was feeling, he could not leave Avery alone. Avery was in a special situation at that moment. When one was extremely agitated, they could do anything.She could kill someone today, but what if she killed herself the next day?"We just started work today. It's a little busy. Why are you looking for him?" Chad was talking fast. After asking his question, he came to a realization. "You're looking for my boss. Did something happen to Avery?""She's in a mess. She almost killed Wanda today. She's at the police station right now. I think she is going to be detained. I

"I'll settle this myself," Elliot said to the captain.Then he grabbed Avery's slender wrist and said, "I'm taking her with me."The captain simply nodded.Once they were out of the station, Avery shook off Elliot's slightly cold hand.Elliot raised his brows as he stared at Avery's defensive posture."Your mother wouldn't come back to life even if you did kill Wanda, Avery. There are many ways to take revenge, yet you chose the most foolish one.""Who are you to judge me?"Avery looked at Elliot's familiar yet unrecognizable face and sneered."Are you judging me as the mighty President Elliot Foster, or because Wanda Tate is your future mother-in-law?!"Every word she spoke was sharp and fractious.An unreadable emotion flashed through Elliot's eyes as he said, "Calm down, Avery.""I can't calm down!" Avery lashed out, her voice breaking. "My mom's lifeless face appears in front of me every time I close my eyes! What did she do wrong?! She never did anything wrong! How coul
