Chapter 402
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
Chapter 403
The person lifting Hayden was Elliot! Elliot was strangling Hayden! Avery must be dreaming! If not, why was Hayden there? This was not the first time she had had a nightmare like this.Five years ago, Elliot had declared that he would strangle any child of his that Avery gave birth to, and ever since then, Avery had often had nightmares of that moment.She had dreamt about how Elliot used an assortment of methods to torture her children to death. A scene was just like the one in front of her eyes, She had dreamt of this scene countless times! The only difference from the dream was that the scene in front of her was extremely real.As Hayden was struggling with all his might, his bag had fallen to the floor with a loud thud!Avery blinked. A switch in her body was activated. Her blood was boiling! It was not a dream! It was not a dream!"Elliot! Let go!" she yelled. She trembled and wanted to get up from the bed. Due to the injuries on her leg, she could not get down from

The red button was an alarm button. It was linked to Mike. If Hayden pressed the button, it would send Mike his location. Mike would also call the police if Hayden pressed the button. If Hayden had not been forced to act, he would not have gone up against Elliot! Elliot made him do it."Hayden…" Avery anxiously called out to him in her bed.Hayden came over to her bed and held her hand. "Mommy, don't be afraid, I'm here."Avery looked anxious and said to him, "Hayden, I can't really move right now. I'll return home once I'm better. When Elliot comes by later, I'll get him to arrange for a driver to send you home. You have to be good—"Hayden frowned. "Mommy, don't ask him for help! I want to go back home with you! I promised Layla that I would bring you home!""I can't move right now—""I've already called the police. They will bring us home."Avery's brows furrowed. She looked behind Hayden. Elliot was standing by the door!He had overheard what Hayden had said a moment ago.

The incident earlier today was a painful lesson! Avery could not let her son directly go up against Elliot anymore."But you wouldn't get injured for no reason. It must be him…" Hayden deduced, furrowing his brows."I wanted to see you and Layla badly last night, so I ran out alone. But I met with a wolf on the way," Avery explained. "Go tell Uncle Mike and Layla that I'm fine. I don't want them to worry about me, okay?"Hayden nodded, not fully convinced."Mommy, are you really not coming back with me? The police can take us home.""My leg hurts badly. I'll return home once it gets better.""Oh, Mommy, don't run around if it is so dangerous outside, just stay indoors. We'll get you out of here."Avery nodded in relief. "Hayden, I'm very happy that you came to look for me, but if this happens again, don't come. You're still a small kid. I can't let anything happen to you!"Hayden said stubbornly, "If something were to happen to you, who would take care of me and my sister in th
Chapter 406
The only reason Avery asked Elliot about that was because he looked terrifying when he grabbed Hayden by the throat!Avery got afraid just by thinking about it.She did not ask Elliot the reason why he did that because no matter how much Hayden infuriated him, he should not attack a child!Who in their right mind would attack a five-year-old?!Elliot looked at Avery upon her asking the question."Not only that," he growled, his low voice was a low rumble. "Rape, murder, kidnap, robbery, I've done everything."Avery was speechless. His expression was stern, and he spoke in a serious tone. She was so shocked that she did not know what to say. "Avery, don't pretend as if you care for me. You don't care about the things that I've done in the past." He absent-mindedly flicked the ash off his cigarette into the ashtray. "You only care about your two children. I have long warned your son. Don't piss me off," he said, in a slow measured manner. "He'll never do that again!" Avery said

"Just get well. If he doesn't let you out in a week, I'll give the police another call," growled Mike. "I already know what happened." Avery asked, "How did you find out?""Chad told me about it. He didn't believe his boss was a jerk, so he investigated."Avery smiled bitterly.Mike asked, "Is it because his mother found out about the children's identity?""Mmm."He continued, "I knew this would be the case. You wouldn't tell him about it, so he lost it.""Mmm.""You silly woman! If I were you, I wouldn't have allowed myself to suffer such injustice! So what if you told him? What would he do to Layla and Hayden? I don't believe it! I don't think he would be as cruel as to kill his own children! The two children owe him nothing!"Avery said, "The current situation is bearable, and I don't want to risk it!" "Fine. You must call me once a day for the following days. If I don't hear from you, I'll call the police," Mike demanded. "I got it." Avery felt much more relaxed after
Chapter 408
Avery raised her hand and switched on the lights. He was blinded by the sudden change in light. Annoyed, he slammed the door shut.Avery looked at him with fear.His eyes were red from the alcohol. After he slammed the door, his long, slender fingers unbuttoned his shirt impatiently.Avery realized what he intended to do. She was so frightened that she did not dare breathe. "Elliot! You've entered the wrong room!" She tried to snap him to his senses. "This is my room!"He glanced at her as he walked to the bed, removed his shirt, and tossed it to the floor. "I'm not drunk." He crawled up the bed and grabbed her injured leg. "Don't move this leg."Avery was rendered speechless. He did not appear drunk. He knew she was hurt; so why did he have to torment her?!His warm lips soon landed on her neck.Avery smelled the thick, cloying scent of a stranger's perfume on him. She instantly furrowed her brows.A few days ago, the nanny had said that there was a group of young and pr

Avery reached under the pillow and drew out a dagger!The dagger was given by Nick when she had made her escape. She had used it to protect herself.That was the very dagger that she had been holding when Elliot rescued her before. Elliot initially wanted to keep the dagger away from her because he was afraid that she might attempt suicide with it, but Avery demanded that he return it to her. She had always kept the dagger under the pillow after getting it back. As she had used the dagger to save herself, she wanted to take it with her when she got well enough to leave here because it was meaningful to her.However, never once did she think he would humiliate her in such a manner that night! He had crushed her dignity, and she completely lost it! At that moment, all she wanted to do was drag him down to hell with her.She would kill him, then kill herself! She was a doctor. She knew how to stab someone to ensure their quick death! Avery grabbed the dagger, and she began to wo
