Chapter 627
Zoe shook her head. "I didn't see her, because when I came to my senses, my eyes had already been gouged out! It's so painful I want to die! I heard Avery say that this is what I deserve. I heard it clearly! Elliot, I won't lie to you! I have nothing now! I can't lie to you!""Her voice?" Elliot was stunned. "Are you sure you didn't mishear?""Impossible! I didn't make a mistake. I didn't make a mistake because I hate her so much!" said Zoe as she gripped Elliot's hand. She gripped his hand as if he were her lifeline. "Elliot I wouldn't lie to you! Even if I did you would probably immediately find out about it! I beg you! I beg you… please, take pity on me." Elliot looked at Zoe's quivering lips and pale face. His heart was extremely heavy.His instincts told him that Zoe was not lying, yet another voice in his mind kept reminding him that Avery would not do such a thing!"Zoe, I'll look into it, " Elliot promised. "But before we get to the bottom of it, rest more and get well so

Avery involuntarily took two steps backward.Her eyes were unfocused. She could not believe that such a thing had happened! What shocked her, even more, was that Zoe had blamed it on her! "He thinks I did it just because I fought with Zoe? How absurd!" she thought. "Avery!" Elliot looked at her as she retreated into the house. His heart constricted tightly. "Answer my question!""Elliot, I hate you! I hate you!" shrieked Avery. "Every time just when I start to feel that you are a good person, you turn around and show me how despicable you are!" Elliot saw Avery yelling at him. He stood there shocked. Raindrops pelted his back, and the cold pierced him. However, his gaze was hot and passionate. The mixture of ice and fire caused him to lose it. He strode toward her."You didn't do it, right?" Elliot walked toward her and grabbed her thin shoulders tightly. His voice was hoarse, "You are not this type of person. Avery, I know that you're not this type of person! I'm asking you

Elliot watched her as she walked to him. Before he could even think, he was standing in front of her. He picked her up in his arms and walked toward the house.Although Avery had barely been in the rain, her face was wet from the rain or more accurately, her tears. "Avery, I did not suspect you. You said that you didn't do it, and I believe you." Elliot placed Avery down on the sofa. He bent down and said patiently, "Zoe is so sure that you harmed her. If she reported it to the police, the police will surely come looking for you. I don't want you to be questioned like a criminal. If we can find an alibi for you, the police won't pester you."Avery looked at Elliot's wet and wretched face. She could not get angry."I went to Wesley's today," said Avery tonelessly. "I was at his house the entire day.""You were in his house the entire day?" The tenderness in Elliot's eyes instantly vanished. He sounded nervous."Yes. Are you going to ask what I was doing in his house?" Avery's c
Chapter 630
A man and woman staying at home the entire day. The woman said that it was a private matter, so she could not tell anyone about it. How simple could their relationship be?Elliot knew that the relationship was anything but simple. "It's borderline fantasy!" he thought."I know." Elliot heard his own voice. There were no emotions in them. He did not even care about the situation anymore. He felt helpless. Avery had stayed in another man's house for the entire day, and she refused to tell him her reason for doing so. There was nothing he could do. He could try prying her mouth open, but he knew that even if he did do that, she would not tell him a thing.The police were at the hospital, and they notified Zoe about Avery's alibi. Zoe did not believe them. "I'm blind right now. I can't see anything. It can't be whatever you said it is! I don't believe you!" Zoe said agitatedly."Miss Sanford, you can get your family to look at the evidence," said the police officer as he glanced at

"It was pouring last night. Why did you open the door as wide as you did?" Mike had already guessed the actual reason, and he just did not want to be explicit about what he actually thought. He would not persist if she did not want to talk about it. "Zoe said she heard my voice as her eyes were gouged out," said Avery in a voice like ice. The expression on her face was glacial. "What a poor lier she is? And yet, she still had people who were willing to believe her." Mike said, "Thank goodness you have Wesley to confirm your alibi. But what were you doing at Wesley's yesterday?" "I was doing some work," Avery brushed off his question and said, "But no one would have believed me if I told them that.""Why would they not believe you? Do they think that you are in a relationship with Wesley? If that's the case you would have been visiting his house long ago," teased Mike. "But seriously, I like men like Wesley, but men like him tend to get into relationships with terrible women."

"I'm torturing her?" Elliot murmured. "Well, aren't you shameless?" he growled. "I'm shameless. You can blame this on me, but please don't view Avery through your narrow scope." Wesley sounded calm, and he was honest. "Avery approached me yesterday because she was looking for some of Professor Hough's notes. She wanted them because she was drawing up a treatment plan which she showed me yesterday so that I could give her my opinion on it. Although my medical skills are not as great as hers, theory-wise, I can still make do."Elliot's breathing turned heavy."Avery took on a case," Wesley continued, " and if you think that she's doing this just for the money, you're shallow. If you love her, can you should learn how to respect her!"Wesley rarely raised his voice at others. He was well-mannered and knew how to control himself. However, he could no longer remain calm with Elliot.After a short moment of silence, Elliot said, "Your so-called respect is just giving in without limits!

"Uncle Richard, you can see the state Zoe is in. I'm very upset. I haven't had any sleep for the past two days. She kept wanting to die, but I don't want her to die."Richard cut to the chase and said, "You're just worried about the child, right? You have no feelings for Zoe at all.""I don't want to contradict you, but you should know that Zoe holds no feelings for me too." Cole looked glum. "Our child is innocent. I will take good care of Zoe until she gives birth to our child. Once our child is born, I will give you some money, and you take Zoe back to Bridgedale to start a new life. Just name your price. I will try my best to match it. I assure you that you and Zoe won't have to worry for the rest of your lives."Richard did not immediately answer, he seemed to be thinking about it.Zoe was standing by the door. She had heard their conversation. At that moment, she ceased to be a human being; she became a tool that both men could use. If it were not for her child, Cole would

Avery had not expected this to happen. She wondered how much despair Zoe must have faced for her to have taken her own life. Zoe killed herself, and by doing so, she killed her child too. Avery began to doubt herself. She began to wonder whether the accusations that Zoe had made were true. "Zoe had said that she heard my voice while her eyes were being gouged out. Could she really have heard me?" thought Avery. "Who attacked Zoe? Why did they put the blame on me?"Could it be Cole?"But Zoe was pregnant with his child. He did not need to do such a thing to Zoe."Could I be the reason that this happened to Zoe? Did the perpetrator want to challenge me? What other reason could there be for using my voice?" thought Avery as sweat poured down her face. Mike was carrying a bowl of hot porridge into her room. He saw her sitting up straight on the bed; her eyes out of focus. She did not even notice him entering."Avery, what are you thinking about?" Mike placed the bowl on the nig
