Chapter 536
Chad deeply understood Elliot's feelings.He was on Elliot's side in the same way that Mike was on Avery's side. They would support the people they cared for no matter what happened. It was two in the morning when the black Rolls-Royce pulled up at the Elliot's mansion.The living room lights were still on.When Elliot got out of the car, Mrs. Cooper immediately emerged from the house."Did something happen over at Avery's, Master Elliot? Hayden called Shea at around 10 p.m. and asked her to go over to their house."The moment Elliot heard Hayden's name, his frigid heart began to ache once again.Avery did not only abandon him, but she had also left her two children behind."It's late, Master Elliot. You should get some rest!" Mrs. Cooper saw the darkness on Elliot's face and did not say more.Elliot dragged his heavy body into the bedroom. He shuffled about like a zombie. When his tired eyes landed on the bed, the memory of Avery cruelly walking away from him entered his m

Elliot and Shea emerged from the mansion the moment Hayden finished his sentence.Father and son met, but Hayden averted his gaze in disgust.He was a minor and could not get on a plane without a guardian.If he could he would not be standing here!All he wanted was to get to Bridgedale as fast as possible so that he could be with his mother. "Hayden! Layla! Big Brother agreed to take us to Bridgedale!" Shea ran over to the children and chirped, "We'll see Avery soon!"…In Bridgedale, Avery was approached by two men the moment she stepped out of the airport.They were dressed in black suits and drove a black Buick.Mike took a photo of the car's license plate from afar. They could not act rashly and startle the enemy before they had rescued Wesley.The black Buick quickly disappeared into traffic.Mike saw the countless messages from Chad on his phone.Chad answered soon after Mike dialed his number."My boss took Shea and the kids on his private jet. They are going to B

A man with white hair which stood in sharp contrast to his child-like face stepped in front of Avery. "Are you the one who abducted Wesley?!" Avery demanded with clenched fists.The man simply smiled softly, then said to the two women next to him, "Help Miss Tate change.""Don't touch me!" Avery snapped, raising her guard. "Why do I need to change?!""What if you're hiding some kind of weapon or drugs in your clothes, Miss Tate?" said one of the women with a smile. "Don't worry. We will wash your clothes and return them to you."Avery snatched the clothes from the woman and said, "I'll change myself!""Please change right here, Miss Tate," said the woman as she maintained her friendly smile."How am I supposed to change here?!"Avery stared in shock at the bodyguards that surrounded her and the white-haired man.How was she supposed to change her clothes in front of all these men?…The news of a Gulfstream G650 private jet leaving the airport of the country's capital that

"Where is he?!" Avery demanded coldly as she stood in the living room.David glanced at his lackeys, and they immediately went to get Wesley. Moments later, two men in black dragged Wesley into the room.Avery's entire body stiffened as she could not believe her eyes.Wesley was covered with blood and bruises. There was not one spot on his body that remained untouched.David shrugged, then said, "You should thank me, Miss Tate. If I didn't catch him in time, this idiot would have jumped off the cliff and turned into a rotting corpse!'Jump off the cliff?!' Avery thought.There was, in fact, a cliff outside the mansion.'Wesley actually tried to jump off of it!' she thought. 'Did he choose to jump off the cliff because he did not want to expose her identity and he no longer wanted to endure all that torture?' Tears instantly rolled down Avery's cheeks."Wesley!" She rushed over to Wesley and held him in her arms. "Wesley! I'm sorry! It's all my fault!"Wesley did not move a

Wesley was in the intensive care unit of the hospital. He was covered in bandages, and his eyes were swollen and red. It was clear that he had popped some blood vessels. His hand too was bandaged, and clearly showed the gap where there should have been a finger.Layla and Hayden were waiting outside and the bodyguard was watching them. They had not been allowed in the room. Shea, on the other hand, was allowed in. Her bright eyes were wide as she stared at the man on the bed. She could not recognize him despite the long time she had spent staring at him. "Who… Who is this?" she asked softly. She was afraid that she might disturb the sleeping man. Mike turned around and saw her in shock, so he walked her to the door and said, "That's Wesley. Shea, go outside…"Shea instantly broke down.She shoved Mike aside and ran over to the bed as tears rolled down her face."Wesley! What happened to you? Who did this to you?" She wanted to hold his hand, but she was afraid of touching h

"Hey, who are you going to see?" Mike asked. "This is Bridgedale. Are you familiar with the place?""Even the Devil would do anything for money. Everyone knows that. As long as I'm willing to cough up the money, plenty of people would be lining up to risk their lives for me!" Elliot responded.Mike watched Elliot brag, and in the end, Elliot had frightened him so much with his passion that Mike obediently got out of the car. However, Mike did not forget to take a jab at Elliot."Did you cry when Avery ignored you at the airport that day? I bet you did. I should've recorded the whole thing—""F*ck off!" Elliot shot a glare at him and slammed the car door shut.…Avery was lying in bed at the White Mansion when Wesley's medical report arrived. She got out of bed and took the report. With all of his injuries, his report came up to several pages.Avery spent quite a while looking through the report. "He's not dead, Miss Tate. He'll be fine after some rest," said the woman who

Avery froze.The thought that someone was playing a joke on her! Even if she was the most incredible doctor in the world, she could not bring the dead back to life!"Miss Tate, this is my dearest daughter. She's the most beautiful woman in the world," David said as he leaned closer to Avery. His voice tittered across her skin carrying insanity and disdain in its wake. "Can you cure her? If you can, then I'm willing to give you anything you want!"Avery shoved him aside and snapped, "You're insane! How am I supposed to cure her when she is dead?! I can only treat people who are alive. Not once have I said that my skills are good enough that I can raise the dead!" "Someone told me that you're James Hough's last student and that your skills have surpassed his! So, why can't you cure the dead?! How would you know if you don't try?" David grabbed Avery's arm in a tight grip. "Where do you think you are going, Miss Tate? This is your home now." Avery felt like she had fallen into an

"This is Bridgedale. Aryadelle's laws can't touch me," David continued with a chuckle."Even if that's the case, someone's using news of our scandals to blackmail us into saving her! Release her this instant!""I won't," said David with a timber of finality in his voice. "I want her to extend my life. She's a medical genius. I'm sure she can come up with a way to prolong life!""Are you sure?""I am," said David."Then, don't touch her for now… You have to keep her alive," said Senator Kane. "I'll deal with things here. You better make sure she wants to stay with you. That way, we won't wind up laughing stocks!" "Got it!" The smile on David's face died."Make her want to stay?" he thought."How could am I going to make her want to stay?"…It was the afternoon when Mike found Elliot. They were at a special security company that was mysterious in that not many knew about its existence. He did not expect Elliot to have both vast connections and excellent execution skills.
