"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

Avery's screams brought the bodyguard, who was standing guard outside, bursting into the room!The lights came on the moment the door to the room flew open.The scene on the bed left the bodyguard pale with fright."Quick, go get the doctor!" The bodyguard called out to the people outside before he sprinted to the bed.Avery cried, "Get his hands off! Quickly get his hands off!"The bodyguard thought Avery was the one who was trying to kill Elliot. However, it took him quite a bit of force to loosen Elliot's grip on Avery's hands.Avery might be holding the dagger, but it was clear that Elliot was trying to kill himself by gripping her hands and plunging the knife down on himself.In other words, Elliot was committing suicide.Once the bodyguard managed to pry away Elliot's blood-soaked hands, Avery immediately got off the bed.The doctor rushed over with his medical suitcase.Avery snatched his suitcase and ran over to the bed to stop Elliot's bleeding! The doctor was stun
Chapter 411
The bodyguard and doctor immediately took Elliot away.Avery sat on the bed, hugging her knees close to her chest, sobbing loudly.Time drew her deeper into the night, clearing her mind. She could hear regret screaming in her heart.She heard the whirring and rumbling of the helicopter on the rooftop. Soon, the droning of the helicopter disappeared into the night. She heard footsteps outside her door, but she did not look up. She did not care who it was that wanted to enter her room. The individual came in, walked over to her bed and covered Avery with a clean set of blankets. He picked up the dagger that was still covered in blood. "Miss Tate. I gave you this dagger to protect yourself, not commit murder," Nick said helplessly, "I'll have to take this dagger back."Avery sobbed out loud. "I did try to kill him, but I didn't dare to do it.""Well, you did provoke him," Nick said calmly. "The result was the same as stabbing the dagger into his heart yourself. What difference
Chapter 412
Avery saw the news on her screen. She began to hyperventilate."Has Elliot died?"How could that be? How could he have died so easily?" she thought. She had stopped his bleeding. The helicopter had taken him directly to the hospital. They would have rushed him to the emergency room, so how could they not have successfully resuscitated him? "Could he have moved about on the helicopter and tore the bandages? Or did he not allow the doctor to save him once he reached the hospital?" she wondered.Avery sniffled. She could not stop her tears from falling. No matter what had happened, Elliot was dead! He was dead! The doctors could rescue a patient in danger, but they could not resurrect the dead!Last night, when she had wanted to murder him, she had thought that killing him would set her free, but why was her heart aching so badly now that she got news of his death? …On the internet, other media outlets began publishing their own takes on his death.

Mike picked up a cup of water. "What happened to your boss? Please don't come looking for Avery every time he is in trouble—""He's dead." Chad felt uncomfortable.With a puff, Mike spurted water from his mouth. "Are you pulling my leg? Did you just say he died? How did he die?""I don't know. The internet said that he's dead."Mike was speechless. Seeing how Chad was almost in tears, he immediately placed the cup of water down and headed to his room."Don't worry. Let me ask Avery. I was on the phone with her yesterday afternoon. She said that her injury was not that bad anymore. She should be able to return in a few days. She didn't say that anything had happened to Elliot—""It happened early morning today." Chad followed Mike into his room. "We can't get to him or his bodyguard. I have been working with him for so many years. This is the first time that this has happened."Mike got his phone and called Avery. At the same time, he put it on loudspeaker.It was some time befo

At the mansion in the forest, Mike stopped the car and immediately walked over to the door. The bodyguard stopped him."I'm here to get Avery!" Mike said. "Your boss has died. Perhaps, you should start thinking about your next job." The bodyguard was stunned.At the staircase, the nanny was helping Avery down the stairs. Avery was leaving the place.Elliot died and Avery wanted to see him for the last time.When Mike saw Avery, he pushed the bodyguard away and strode in."Avery! I'm here to take you home!" Mike took over from the nanny and supported Avery.After helping Avery into the car, Mike looked at her leg. She was wearing loose pajamas, so he could not see her injury."You were limping just now, so I find it hard to believe that your injury are almost healed." Mike started the car with a frown. "I'll send you to the hospital once we get back downtown."Avery held onto the seatbelt with both hands. She felt lost."Avery. His lawyer… won't find faults with you, right?"
