Coming out of the inpatient unit, Mike looked around, but he did not see Avery anywhere.In his despair, he called Elliot. "Elliot, come to the hospital quickly! I lost Avery!"Elliot immediately rushed out of the mansion. "What happened?""Wesley's mother had a private talk with her. I'm sure she must have said something to Avery!" Mike was in the huge hospital yard, and he was frantically looking around for Avery. "It's my fault! I was talking to Wesley in his ward and that was when she must have left!"Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. "She couldn't have gone far. Keep watch of the entrance!"Avery had exited the lift and had been aimlessly walking around the outpatient building. There were a lot of seats there, and she was tired. So, she found a seat and sat down. All around her were patients or their families. She saw a couple bringing in their sick child to see the doctor. "I already told you that I don't want this child, but you insisted! Look at us now! We have to com

Avery saw the shimmering unshed tears in Elliot's eyes. She wanted to say no; she wanted to deny his claims. Abruptly, he stood up and left her in the front seat of the car. He slammed the door behind him. The deafening bang echoed long after the door was shut.He did not make his way to the driver's seat, but he stood outside the car. He pulled his phone out and made a call. Avery silently looked at him. The car door stood between them, separating them in what seemed like an unbridgeable gap.He had told her that the child was more important to her than him. "How can he compare him and the child?" she thought. "The child is weak. Of course, I have to protect it!" He told her that she did not have any confidence in him, not realizing that it was herself that she did not have confidence in. Not long after, Mike ran over. Avery saw the two of them talking outside the car. She did not know what they said, but Mike had quickly accepted the keys from Elliot, and he got into the dr

Shea made her way to Avery's room the next morning to bid her goodbye. "Avery, I'm leaving. Get well soon. Once you're well, you must return to Aryadelle!"She was afraid of disturbing her, so she did not stay long. She quickly left Avery's room.Avery opened her eyes and looked at the empty room. She felt disappointment course through her.The Gulfstream G650 took off from Bridgedale Capital Airport at eight that morning. Its destination: Aryadelle Capital Airport.The jet slowly descended on Aryadelle Capital Airport after more than ten hours in the air.It was six in the morning at Aryadelle. Elliot had given Wesley and his family a ride back. "Mr. Foster, thank you for taking us home," said Sandra to Elliot.Elliot replied, "You're welcome.""We'll make a move!" Sandra said.Elliot swallowed. After a short moment of hesitation, he said, "Mrs. Brook, don't blame Avery for Wesley's injuries. She didn't even tell me that she was Professor Hough's last pupil. Wesley got kidna

Elliot did not want to go home, nor did he want to attend the team building session.Chad saw the agony Elliot was in, and he said, "Why don't you go on a vacation? Where do you want to go? I'll book a hotel for you."Elliot thought for a long while before finally saying, "I want to drink."Chad was speechless. "Is this why he attended that meeting?" thought Chad. An hour later and Elliot was drunk, just like he wished. Once he had sent Elliot home, Chad sighed in relief. Although drinking was not good for him, at least Elliot did not consume that much alcohol. If he had, Chad would not be able to rest easy. Exiting Elliot's mansion, Chad called Mike. "Doesn't Avery feel in the least bit guilty? Mr. Foster put a lot of effort and money into saving her, but what does she do? She hurts him." It was night in Bridgedale at that moment.Mike rubbed the middle of his brows and yawned. "What nonsense are you talking about? Hmm?""Didn't Avery break up with him? How cruel and hear

Mike was in Bridgedale when he saw the article. He had not been deliberately searching for news pertaining to Aryadelle when he had come across the article. One of the higher-ups of Tate Industries had sent him the article. The reason they had done so was because the members of the media were calling up the company and trying to get some clarification on the validity of the claims circulating online. How could the higher-ups know anything about their boss's private life? They only knew that Avery had gone to Bridgedale. They did not know the reason for her trip, and they also had not known that she had been kidnapped.When Mike saw the news, he was furious. He sat down and drank his cup of coffee, and by the end of his cup, he still had not decided whether he wanted to inform Avery about the matter.Avery had been resting at home for the past few days. Apart from mealtimes, she had spent the entire time cooped up in her room. When she came out to have her meals, she seemed be

Back at Aryadelle, the weekend passed in a blink of an eye.On Monday, Elliot arrived at the office. Chad followed him and entered his office."Yes?" Elliot switched his computer open. He looked up at Chad."Mr. Foster, is your phone not on?" Chad inquired cautiously. It was only after Chad had asked this question that Elliot realized he did not have his phone with him. He spent the weekend sleeping in, but he still felt a little dizzy.It was possible to experience dizziness if one did not get enough sleep. Sleeping too much would have the same effect too. "Here's what happened, Mr. Foster." Chad gave Elliot a summary of the incident that took place over the weekend.When Elliot heard the news, a look of sheer disbelief appeared on his face."Get the bodyguard to bring me my phone," Elliot said to Chad. When Chad left, Elliot looked at his computer screen.The headline for that day popped up, [President of Sterling Group, Elliot Foster, Cheated of 1.5 Billion!]Although he h

Mike looked at her serious expressions and guessed, "Are you going to compensate him?! We don't have that kind of money!" Mike exclaimed with a gasp.Avery looked at him seriously. "How much money do we have right now?"Mike was stumped. "I have never given much attention to this. You're the boss! Don't you know how much money we have?"Avery had never truly looked into how much money they had either. "Take the children back to Aryadelle. I'll head back in a few days." Avery changed the topic. "Shouldn't you all head out by now? Don't miss the flight."Mike knew her well, and he said, "Avery, Elliot did not authorize the press release. Chad told me that one of his rivals had done that. They were trying to kill two birds with one stone. The money that he spent might be astronomical to us but not to Elliot. You don't have to concern yourself with how much he has chosen to spend. What you need to do now is to look after yourself and the child you are carrying!" "I know." Avery cal
