The black Rolls-Royce did not stop till they were out of the city. The cars on the road were few.Avery sat in the backseat, closing her eyes.After a long time, the car finally stopped. She opened her eyes and looked outside. She only saw a dense forest. It was foreign to her.She was confused. Where was she? Why did Elliot bring her there?"Where is this?" She looked up and asked Elliot."One of my holiday villas." He pushed the car door open and got down.Holiday villa? Elliot had definitely not brought her here for a holiday. Avery got down and followed him. They walked toward the mansion.The mansion was in a classic gothic-styled building. The ash green building in the middle of the forest was eerie. Avery felt as if she was not walking into a holiday villa but a prison.She turned around and saw Elliot's bodyguard following closely behind. At that moment, she was truly a sitting duck.After entering the mansion, the open area made her furrow her brows. The decor was d

How had she treated him? His forgiveness and mercy seemed like a joke.After a short contemplation, Elliot turned around. The bodyguard immediately understood what Elliot meant and took Avery away! The hall instantly fell into pin-drop silence! Avery did not cry or make a fuss. She just disappeared from his line of sight. Like all those years ago, she quietly left him. …The bodyguard took her to an underground cellar.The room was dim. With the light of dusk, she could see that the underground cellar had not been renovated. They were walking on cement and steel. Strange sounds kept ringing in their ears.There was a nauseating coppery smell that clung to the air!After walking for five minutes, the bodyguard shoved her forward! Avery was caught off guard, and she fell to the ground.She came into contact with something sticky. Fear licked her. Grass. She had touched grass, but the grass was covered in something sticky. It smelt foul.Avery frowned and she quickly pulled

Splash! Cold water hit Avery in the face. She came around! The wound on her head was so painful she silently gasped."Not dead yet." The bodyguard who splashed her with water threw the bucket aside. He said, "We don't see people dying in dramas from running into a wall, right? Hehe! No one dies that easily!""What should we do next? This woman is stubborn. If we don't do something harsher, she won't talk."The other bodyguard nodded.Avery gritted her teeth and looked at them coldly. All of her fear in her was converted to a never-ending flow of resentment. The more Elliot treated her this way, the more she would not tell him! Even if he skinned her with his bare hands! Even if she dies, she would never tell him who her children's father is! Allowing the children to enter an orphanage was better than having the devil for a father!The two bodyguards were talking amongst themselves in hushed tones. Then one came over, grabbed her with one hand, and dragged her forward."Miss

Avery looked like she was already dead.Looking at her life hanging by the thread, Elliot asked himself if this was the outcome that he wanted!Would her death relieve him? Then why was he even more heartbroken?He picked her up from the floor. Her body was ice cold. Carrying her was like carrying a block of ice! "Avery!" Elliot yelled hysterically, "I have not given you permission to die! You're not allowed to die!"The bodyguards heard other emotions besides hatred in his voice. There was anxiety and indignation too!"What's going on with Mr. Foster? Avery is not dead yet. Didn't I tell him already?" one of the bodyguards asked, stumped.The other bodyguard replied, "I think Mr. Foster is very afraid that she might die."Elliot's personal bodyguard looked at them. "You two have overdone it! If anything were to happen to Avery Tate, you two are finished!"The two bodyguards were so frightened their faces turned green. "Mr. Foster agreed that we should take her down there! Al

Avery should feel sad or upset, but no tears to her eyes. There was no reaction in her heart either.There was only the splitting pain in her head. It was so excruciating that even breathing hurt. She wanted to get up, but her body was sore and aching.She was having a fever. Her body was extremely hot, but she was cold.When Elliot finished his call, he passed his phone back to the bodyguard. The bodyguard pointed at the bed. Elliot looked. Avery's eyes were open, but there were no signs of life on her face. She was awake, but she looked dead.He hated her in this state! He wanted her to fight him!Elliot strode over to the bed and grabbed her chin with his long slender fingers.Her body was so hot that he immediately let go!"Go get the doctor!" he sternly instructed the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately left to fetch the doctor.After the bodyguard left, Avery looked the other way. She did not want to see him.Elliot was furious. He grabbed her chin once again, forcing

Avery's body was getting hotter, and her skin was getting redder! It looked like she was going to burn to death!No matter how many times he said her name, Avery did not react!His heart constricted tightly."Doctor!" Elliot rushed out of the room, searching for the doctor. The doctor quickly rushed over. When he saw the situation, he immediately said, "Mr. Foster, we have to stop her fever immediately. We either put her back on the drip, or we will have to administer medication. What do you want me to do?" "She has already passed out. How is she going to take the medication? Am I to feed her with my mouth!"Sweat beaded on the doctor's forehead. "Then I'll put her back on the drip."As the saline had pooled on the floor, the doctor had to replace the bottle before he replaced the catheter. Elliot stood by the side of the bed, looking down at the unconscious Avery. He only wanted an answer from her! Why would she choose death over giving him the info he wanted?At that though
Chapter 394
Elliot's face darkened terribly because of Avery's silent resistance! Elliot indeed could force her mouth open and feed her spoon after spoon, but he was not going to do so! Since she was refusing food, let her starve to death then!He looked away and stormed out of the room!After he left, she relaxed a little. Suddenly, a car honk came from outside the window. Avery pricked her ears and listened to the sounds outside the window. Many cars pulled up in front of the mansion. A moment later, a cacophony of sounds came from downstairs. Why were there so many people here so late at night? Why were they here at such a remote place?Elliot had said that this was one of his holiday villas. Did he invite them there? His mother had just passed, but not only was he not with her, but he was in a remote forest villa hosting a party?!Just when she planned to get out of bed to head over to the window to have a look, the room door swung open.The doctor entered with his case of med

When the bodyguard saw her coming down, they immediately reported it to Elliot.Elliot got up from the sofa and looked at the staircase.Avery was wearing his robe. It was touching the floor. The sleeves were a little long too.She looked like a child wearing adult clothes wrapped in the huge robe. He furrowed his brows. Should she not be on a drip at that moment? Why was she downstairs?"Elliot, you have hidden a woman here!" Someone chuckled and teased when they saw Avery."He is a man! It would be weird if he didn't have ladies! Haha!""Which family is this heiress from? Or is she someone you found just to have fun with?"Elliot ignored everybody's questions because Avery was walking toward them.Did she not want to die? Why would she be willing to come down to meet his friends? What was she trying to do?He strode over to her and blocked her path. He looked at her with dark stormy eyes. "Did you pull the needle out again!"She stretched her hands out and pushed against
