"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

After breakfast, Avery took the children to preschool.Hayden was the one who had suggested going to the same preschool as Layla.That way, Avery would not have to send them to and pick them up from preschool.It felt like everything had remained the same after Laura's death, but it also felt like everything had changed."Winter's come and gone, Avery," Mike said as he drove the car onto the main road. "Let's move on from all this unhappiness! Every day from now on will be filled with good luck."Avery stared at him blankly."Can't you speak like a normal person?"Mike cleared his throat and said, "I know you'll still be down for a while, but we should keep our eyes facing forward. There are many more beautiful things and people that await you in the future.""Keep your eyes on the road.""Okay," Mike responded, then turned on some music.After taking a moment to ponder his words, Avery suddenly said, "Thank you, Mike.""Hmm?" Mike said as he turned the music off."Thanks f

Zoe had gone into full "child-bearing mode" after she got pregnant.She had even pushed Shea's treatment aside.So it could not have been Zoe who cured Eric Santos!"I'm not clear on the details," said the family doctor regretfully. "However, the probability of him waking up from his illness was extremely low. I think he found a neurologist on par with Professor James Hough."After the call, Elliot immediately sent someone to contact the Santos family.Eric Santos had left the entertainment industry two years ago, so all his known contact information and addresses were useless.Even as evening approached, Elliot's people could still find nothing of use.Zoe heard about Elliot's search at dinner, which made her feel nervous."My health has improved a lot lately, Elliot," she said. "I think we can schedule Shea's second surgery soon."Elliot glanced at her and asked, "Are you certain?"Zoe nodded, then said, "I'm feeling very confident about the next procedure. I'll take Shea t

When Wanda walked out of the courthouse, Avery blocked her path."You're next," Avery said.Avery wore light makeup, ensuring that her smooth complexion looked good.Beneath her calm veneer, however, lay a burning hatred that had never dampened. "Bring it! Both my daughter and my brother are gone. You better watch out, Avery Tate!"Wanda had suffered a concussion from the beating Avery had given her at the cafe, so she was filled with raging fury.She would never have backed down if Elliot Foster had not stood up for Avery!Avery got into the car with a bland expression and fastened her seat belt.Mike opened a bottle of water and handed it to her, then said, "Elliot Foster's looking into Eric Santos's doctor. I'm guessing he's planning on getting rid of Zoe Sanford. What a cruel man! She's pregnant with his child!"Avery took the bottle of water from him and took a sip.The cool liquid made its way down her throat and into her body, bringing with it a welcomed sense of vigo

Rosalie's face was drenched in a green glow.If Elliot had not been holding her up, she probably would have passed out from the shock.The staff disconnected the LED screen's power, and the disturbing green light vanished."What the h*ll is going on?!" Henry yelled. "Why did that mess show up on screen? How exactly do all of you do your jobs around here?!"The manager rushed over to apologize."I'm so sorry, Mr. Foster. I asked the staff and was told that our computers had caught a virus. We have no idea how those images appeared on the LED screen."Henry glanced at his mother.Rosalie had caught her breath."Hurry up and get a new computer. Don't let anything like this happen again!" Henry ordered the manager.The awkward atmosphere on stage did not dissipate with the manager's departure.Other than being a vibrant color, there was a deeper meaning to the color green.For example, it symbolizes betrayal in a relationship.Zoe felt the eyes of everyone in the room fall on h

Elliot had thought that the woman he spent that night with was Avery!He would never have touched Zoe if he had known it was herOn the other side of the city, Avery was having dinner with a few good friends at Golden Beach Street.If it were not for the care and support of her friends, she would not have been able to get back on her feet so quickly after her mother's death.Although the thought of her mother's passing continued to pain her, Avery was not so impulsive as to go down with Wanda.Mike poured Wesley a glass of wine, but Wesley declined, saying, "I drove here."Avery then poured Wesley a glass of juice and said, "Wesley isn't a good drinker. I'll drink with you tonight, Mike!""Are you underestimating me, Avery? My tolerance is pretty good!" said Tammy."I know it is, but Jun already told me to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't get too drunk."Tammy grunted nonchalantly, then began to drink with Mike."Pace yourselves, you two. I called you out tonight fo

Wesley's question left Avery silent for a moment."Have you ever loved somebody, Wesley?" Avery asked quietly. "If you have, then you probably won't have such a tough time understanding how I'm feeling."Wesley shook his head."You become possessive when you love someone. I want everything he owns, and I want to be the only one he sees. Most importantly, I want the relationship to have no reservations," Avery said. Then she smiled and continued, "You've seen it yourself. He has Shea, and he's willing to sell himself out for her treatment.""Before I knew about Shea's mental disability, I saw her as a thorn in my side. After I discovered she wasn't normal, the hostility I felt against her slowly began to fade away. Of course, I can carry out Shea's second surgery, but I won't do that."Wesley stared blankly at Avery."How do you think Elliot would react if he found out I could treat Shea?" Avery asked. She poured herself a glass of wine and continued, "How has he been treating Zoe

"Didn't we agree to stop being upset with Shea?" Layla asked dejectedly.Hayden took his sister's hand and walked back into the classroom.Shea's surgery was going to happen no matter what.Coming to see them in her nervousness and fear would not change a thing.She should have gone to see Elliot Foster and seek his comfort.Elliot received a call from Mrs. Scarlet at three in the afternoon."Shea's missing again!" cried Mrs. Scarlet. "The bodyguard and I have been looking for her for over an hour. We've searched through the entire Starry River neighborhood and we still can't find her!""Why did you go to Starry River?!" Elliot exclaimed as he picked up his keys and walked toward the front door."Shea's been begging to see Hayden since she got to school this morning… She threw a tantrum when I told her she couldn't. She refused to eat or drink anything. She never used to be like this. I had no other choice but to take her to see Hayden," Mrs. Scarlet said as she sobbed pitifull
