Chapter 396
Elliot thought that Avery had gone to the washroom and then to her room. When he realized that she had gone upstairs, he stopped drinking. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Would Avery have… run away?!The villa was encircled by the forest that was a hundred kilometers in radius. How was she going to leave the forest when she was this weak? He clenched his fists tightly, turned around, and prepared to head downstairs."Mr. Foster! I'll go check the surveillance footage right away! I'll see when she left!" When the bodyguard realized that Avery was gone, he immediately said, "It's dark at night, and there are no street lights too. I'm sure she did not go far!""A bunch of idiots! You can't even guard a woman properly!" Elliot snarled through gritted teeth! "I'm sorry! I'll get people to look for her right now! I promise we'll bring her back by dawn!" The bodyguard swore with fear on his face.Elliot instantly sobered up! His mind was extremely clear at that moment

There was only the endless vast forest. There were many wild beasts in the forest. Even in the daytime, there is a chance that one might face an attack, but at night it was almost a guarantee. Under the protection of the bodyguards, Elliot entered the unknown and terrifying forest.He held the torch in his hand. The light penetrated the darkness, revealing a forest full of vines and branches. Desperation rose in his heart! How did she dare?! How did she dare to step into the forest? Did she really think that she could leave this forest alive?If she knew it was a road to death, why did she not turn back? Even if she had managed to escape the mansion, she could have just turned back? He would not have been that angry with her. "Avery!" He swallowed and yelled out her name with a trembling voice!After his yells, the bodyguards yelled too, "Miss Tate! We're coming for you! If you hear us, please respond!"The only thing that responded to their cries were the calls of the animal

They were soaking wet by the time they had reached the mansion. It was three in the morning.A few of Elliot's friends were still drinking in the main hall. They were waiting for Elliot to return. When they saw him returning with Avery in his arms, they all got up from the sofa. They should have said something to lessen the awkwardness, but no one said anything.Elliot was only wearing a thin t-shirt. He was soaked from the rain, so the t-shirt was clinging tightly to his body. Water dripped down his hair.His deep amber eyes were filled with despair and darkness.The woman in his arms was covered in his jacket. Only her pale and lifeless face could be seen. Her eyes were closed, and they looked as if they would never open again.The scene at that moment was inexplicably sad and tragic!Elliot carried Avery upstairs and vanished from everyone's sight.…After Rosalie's autopsy report came out, Henry sent it to Elliot immediately.Rosalie did not die of poison or other injuries

However, when Chad saw Mike's messages, he held back.Forget about it! He was not going to care about it! He was going to pretend as if he knew nothing. This time, Elliot was the one that crossed the line.How could he take Avery away and not contact her family? If Chad were Mike, he would be furious too.Time passed, and it was almost eleven in the morning. Hayden did not cause a scene. Chad did not even see him.He did not know what Hayden's plan was. Whatever his plan was, he might have already abandoned it.After the funeral, the guests headed to the hotel for lunch.Chad walked over to Elliot. "Mr. Foster." Elliot stopped and looked at him coldly.Chad said awkwardly, "My condolences."Elliot heard him and headed to the parking lot. Chad quickly chased after him and mustered the courage to ask, "Mr. Foster, is Miss Tate with you? Her children are worried about her safety—"Elliot swallowed and said hoarsely, "She's not dead."Chad was baffled. What sort of reply wa

"Miss Tate, you're finally up!" A man's voice rang in her ears.Avery looked to where the sound was coming from. It was Elliot's bodyguard."Miss Tate, do you still remember what happened last night?" The bodyguard stood by the side of the bed and said, "Last night when Mr. Foster carried you back, it was raining extremely heavily! He even lost his shoe! He carried you all the way back barefooted!"Avery was speechless."Although your leg is seriously injured, Mr. Foster's feet were cut deeply too…" The bodyguard looked down at her. "You were under the rain last night, and you developed a fever, and so did Mr. Foster. After bringing you back, he dealt with the injury on his feet, took some medication, and left to attend Madame Rosalie's funeral without any time to rest."The bodyguard looked at her emotionless face. He thought that, perhaps, the fever had made her stupid."Miss Tate, you're the craziest and bravest woman I've ever met." The bodyguard had an expression of admirati

Elliot gritted his teeth and gazed coldly at her.He placed the bowl of oatmeal down and helped her up. Then he arranged two pillows behind her for her to lean against.He then stuffed the bowl back into her hands. Avery accepted the oatmeal, but, as she was about to pick the spoon up, her left hand suddenly fell limp and powerless. Her hands shook, tipping the bowl onto the covers. Everything spilled.Avery looked at the spilled oatmeal in shock. She pursed her lips.Elliot's heart broke at the sight. She had not done it on purpose. He knew that she did not do it on purpose. Avery truly wanted to eat on her own, but she lacked the strength needed to even hold a bowl.Before Avery's tears could fall, Elliot bundled the dirty covers away."Avery, you'll get better. Don't cry!" He had intended to comfort her, but what came out sounded more like a stern lecture.He took a deep breath, wanting to explain, but Avery had already laid back down with her back turned toward him.Ell

When Elliot saw Hayden, he thought he had somehow entered the wrong room.Why was Hayden here? How did he get here? Elliot realized that this kid would always surprise him.Of course, in this case, the surprise was not a delightful one."Why is my Mommy injured?" Hayden stood by the side of the bed, his eyes cold as he questioned his father.Hayden had seen that Avery's forehead was wrapped in bandages. She must have been injured, which was why it had been bandaged.Also, when he had called out to her, Avery had not reacted. He suspected that she might not be sleeping, but, instead, had passed out.However, he had no choice but to wait for answers. He could not carry her away, nor could he treat her.Elliot ignored Hayden's question. He looked at the small child condescendingly. "How did you come here? Who else came with you?""I'm alone!" Hayden was not afraid. The resentment in his eyes gradually grew. "You hurt my Mommy! I will never forgive you!"Elliot snickered at Hayd
