Avery arrived home about half an hour later.She rushed into the house and charged toward Elliot without even changing into her house slippers."Where's Hayden? Why are you here alone?"Elliot was about to speak, but Avery interrupted him when she noticed his disheveled clothes."What happened to your clothes?"Elliot's shirt was completely wrinkled. She followed the wrinkled lines to his back and saw a piece of his shirt that had been ripped off.She saw the bloody bite mark under the ripped fabric.The bleeding had stopped, but she could imagine how painful it must have been.Avery faced them, then asked, "Did Hayden bite you?""I brought it onto myself," Elliot said nonchalantly. "He's in his room.""I see. I'll go take a look. Wait here for me," Avery said, then walked up the stairs.Mike sauntered behind Elliot, took a good look at his wound, then sighed and said, "Big H really did you in! You look like you were bitten by a dog!"Elliot turned around and stared grimly

Avery finished tending to Elliot's wound, then said coldly, "Put your clothes on."Elliot put on the t-shirt she gave him, then looked up at her and asked, "Can I ask my question now?""What is it?" Avery's expression and tone were icy. "Hayden doesn't like you. Don't touch him again. If something like this ever happens again, just give me a call."Elliot's mind went blank.He really did bring all of this onto himself.He picked up his torn shirt, stood up, and prepared to leave.Avery suddenly felt anxious.She took an involuntary step forward as she said, "What did you want to ask me?"Elliot turned to look at her, then said, "Do you think Shea needs to continue her treatment? I'm worried it would end up taking a toll on her health if we keep going.""Isn't Zoe Sanford Shea's doctor?" The moment Avery mentioned Zoe's name, her reason began to crumble. "Since you went to her and even paid her an exorbitant medical fee, you should just listen to her advice."Elliot did not ex

The next day, someone rang the doorbell of Starry River Villa at seven in the morning.Avery walked out of her bedroom in her pajamas and made her way to the front door.When she saw Tammy through the front door's camera, she opened the door.After Tammy married Jun, she had gone abroad for her honeymoon.She had told Avery before that she would take a month-long holiday abroad."Why is she back only after two weeks?" thought Avery. "How are you feeling, Avery?" Tammy asked as she entered the house with bags of souvenirs."I'm fine. I already started going back to work," Avery said. "Why are you back so soon?"Tammy pulled a long face and said, "I didn't have fun at all! We were supposed to spend our honeymoon relaxing, but Jun gets over twenty calls from work every day. Honestly, I feel like getting a divorce."Avery poured her a drink, then said, "Don't be reckless. He just took over his family's business. Give him some time.""Hmph, it's not like I'm not giving him time.

"Then let's see the doctor who did the surgery!" said the bodyguard."Do you remember the doctor's name?" asked the hospital director."How would I know?! She was wearing a surgical cap and mask. I didn't even get a good look at her face!""How about I ask all of the doctors in the maternity unit and see if any of them remember Miss Tate?"Elliot left the room.He already had his answer.Avery had not gone through with the abortion five years ago.Hayden Tate was his son.Even so, what could he do after knowing the truth?Hayden would never forgive Elliot for hurting him.Avery had never planned to tell him about the children, so there was no way she would speak for him.Elliot did not blame Avery.It was all his own fault!Five years ago, he had said that he would strangle their child with his bare hands if Avery ever got pregnant.Sure enough, he had almost strangled his own son to death five years later.Elliot's bloodshot eyes glistened with tears.He got into the c

Layla let out a horrified scream!Tammy picked her up and rushed into the house."Don't be scared, Layla! I'm calling the ambulance right away!"She placed Layla on the couch, then pulled out her phone from her bag and called 911.Layla was wailing uncontrollably."Is my daddy dead?" she sobbed. "He still doesn't know that I'm his daughter!"Tammy held the hysterical Layla in one arm and held her phone with her other hand.Once the call went through, she gave the operator the address and hung up."Wait here in the house, Layla. I'll go take a look," Tammy said and quickly ran out the door.…Avery received a call from the associate dean at Central University that morning and brought Hayden to the campus.Yesterday, Hayden won the National Youth Programming Championships.He was not the youngest participant in the competition, but he was the youngest one to enter the finals.What was even more unexpected was that he was the champion."Hayden might have skipped the conventi

How dangerous might it have been if Tammy had not been there when Elliot had passed out in front of Avery's gate.That evening, after much consideration, Avery decided to stop by Elliot's mansion."I'll drive you there," Mike said as he walked out of the house with her.Avery shook her head and said, "I'm going to see Shea. I'll be back soon.""Drop the act! If you're really going there for Shea, all you have to do is call her and ask her to meet you. She has a phone now, after all."Avery did not want to waste her time talking to him as he had mercilessly blown her cover."You don't need to drive me. I'll go there myself.""You're insane! You're pregnant right now! How could I let you drive alone this late at night? Elliot would kill me if anything happened to you!" Mike argued. "How about this? I'll drive you there, but I won't go into the house with you."Avery opened the door to the driver's seat of her car, got in, then closed the door.She rolled down the window, then sa

Avery saw Mrs. Cooper let out a sigh of relief.She was happy that Zoe had come to check on Shea."Is Master Elliot awake? Did he say when he was coming home?" Mrs. Cooper asked the bodyguard as she walked toward him.Before the bodyguard could answer, Zoe walked in with a first aid kit in her hand."Did Master Elliot call for you to come by, Miss Sanford?"Zoe nodded and said, "He'll be back soon. How's Shea doing right now?"She walked to the bottom of the stairs, then froze in her tracks.Avery stood on the second floor. Their eyes met.Zoe quickly took control of the situation.She shot a look at Mrs. Cooper, then asked coldly, "Who called Avery Tate?""Avery just happened to come by to meet Shea about something," answered Mrs. Cooper awkwardly."I see… I thought someone invited her over!" sneered Zoe.She walked up the stairs, then stood in front of Avery and said, "Didn't you break up with Elliot ages ago, Avery? I heard you were the one who dumped him. You're always

Avery did not respond to Mrs. Cooper.She should not have come here.She should have listened to Mike.Shea had her own phone. If Avery wanted to thank her, all she had to do was give her a call and ask to meet her.Once Avery arrived on the ground floor, she walked over to the couch and picked up her bag.At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce came to a halt in the front yard.Elliot was home.Avery was mortified.If she had come down a minute earlier, she would not have run into him.She was upset enough as it was and wanted to be alone to release her frustrations."Master Elliot's home, Avery!" Mrs. Cooper said."So what if he was home?" she thought. Avery lowered her gaze and walked toward the front door with her bag.Elliot had already noticed the Land Rover parked in the front yard.He did not expect Avery to come here.As he got out of the car, his deep-set eyes watched her as she walked out of the house.Elliot walked over to Avery's car and waited for her there.
