"Why's her phone off?" Avery mumbled softly to herself, then walked out of the house."Are you going out, Avery?" When the nanny saw her on the move, she quickly followed her."Tammy said she was coming over but she's still not here yet. Even if there's traffic, she should be here by now." Avery walked past the front gates and looked around.The nanny comforted her and said, "Maybe she's gone to buy presents! She always brings all kinds of presents when she comes over."The nanny's consoling words made Avery relax slightly."It's windy out here, Avery. Let's get back inside!" The nanny was worried that Avery would catch a cold. "Mr. Foster especially asked me to take good care of you and not let you get sick.""I stay at home every day now. I'm like a flower in a greenhouse. I'd get sick easier that way.""You still shouldn't be out here in this wind!" The nanny helped Avery back into the house. "It's easy to get sick when the seasons change.""Is lunch ready?" Avery asked."I

"It's really good. It's not too sweet, so I can have more," said Avery as she took another bite. "You are getting better and better as the days go by. What else did you learn?" "I want to learn to drive, but Big Brother won't let me." Shea's brows furrowed as she said, "Could you help me ask Big Brother, Avery?"Avery lifted her gaze and turned to Wesley."Is this why you two came over today?"Wesley shook his head and said, "Shea came to give you the cake. I don't want her learning how to drive either." Avery turned to Shea and asked, "Why do you want to learn to drive, Shea? Aren't you scared? It might be dangerous.""All of you know how to drive, so I want to learn too. It won't be dangerous as long as I don't drive anywhere with too many people around." Shea gazed at Avery with her wide, pleading eyes.At that moment, Avery's phone rang.She picked it up and saw that it was Elliot calling.She showed her phone screen to Shea, then said, "I'll talk to him about it, but th

Tammy was missing!She disappeared after leaving the house at eleven that morning.Jun was checking the surveillance cameras over at the traffic control department.The cameras showed Tammy entering a mall in the city center. She could be seen parking her car and entering the mall, but she could not be seen exiting the mall. This meant that something happened while she was in the mall.The mall had countless surveillance cameras, but there were also a lot of blind spots.Jun left the traffic control department and rushed to the mall's control room.When he got Avery's phone call, he took a deep breath, then answered it."Tammy's car is still in the mall's parking lot. She went missing while she was in the mall.""How could she just vanish like that?!" Avery inhaled sharply.She wanted to ask Jun whether Tammy had been abducted, but she was too afraid to give voice to her question. Jun felt a lump in his throat."She must have been kidnapped! Back when I was hiring bodygua

Chelsea was vicious and savage. Anyone who fell into her hands would not end up well."... I'll tell Chad to get Ben to go find Chelsea Tierney!" There was no way Mike was letting Avery go see Chelsea. "She wants nothing but for something bad to happen to you. Wouldn't going to her now be looking for trouble for yourself?"Mike's voice echoed through the entire villa.The expressions on Hayden and Layla's faces turned sullen."Don't go out, Mommy," Hayden said in a low voice"Listen to Uncle Mike and Hayden, Mommy. Stay at home like a good girl!" Layla begged softly as she held her mother's hand.The appearance of her children returned reason to Avery."I won't go out." She gave in and stood from the couch. "I'm going to take a shower."She was so anxious that she felt like her heart was on fire.She wanted to do something, but her entire body felt heavy.When she was anxious to leave the house earlier, the baby kept kicking her as if he knew something was happening.Avery r

The only reply she received was silence.The person who kidnapped Tammy seemed to want nothing from Avery. If they wanted something, they would not have kept silent.Avery looked at the excited and restless men in the video. They were like a pack of wolves rushing toward Tammy. Avery's head felt numb. Her blood was boiling. Her body trembled uncontrollably.A sense of desperation, verging on despair, overwhelmed her. It was as if someone was stabbing her over and over again with a blunt knife.Mike heard her hysterical shrieks and quickly ran into her room. He saw Avery bent forward, holding onto the door of the bathroom."Avery! Are you alright?" Mike ran over to help her. Seeing how blue her face was, a feeling of dread instantly arose in him. "Are you going into labor? I'll send you to the hospital."Mike wanted to lift her up, but Avery's body tensed at the contact. She spat a few words out with difficulty: "Call an ambulance…""Avery, don't frighten me! Stand there, don't m

"They went to bed, but Hayden is not asleep yet," Chad said. "I was afraid that I would disturb him, so I didn't talk to him.""Oh, Hayden is quite mature. He understands a lot. He surely won't be able to sleep." Mike was standing outside the emergency room at that moment. His mind was a mess. "Avery's mood has affected the child. She might go into labor tonight.""Wouldn't that be a premature delivery?" Chad furrowed his brows. "Will the child be alright?""I'm not worried about that. I'm only worried about Avery. You didn't see how terrible she looked, and yet all she was worried about was Tammy…" Mike was pacing back and forth in the corridor. "Give Ben a call. See how he is getting on with Chelsea."If Tammy could not be rescued, even if Avery gave birth to a healthy child, she would be able to think about anything else but Tammy. "I'm guessing nothing has happened." Chad knew Chelsea well. "If Chelsea is the one who's done this unless we place the evidence in front of her, s

"You guessed right. As long as there is no evidence, she will never admit to it," Mike said dryly."After all, nothing good can come out of admitting to it." Chad looked at the time. "Why don't you go and rest a bit?""Do you think I can fall asleep?" Mike glanced at the ward. "Once she is up, if Tammy is still not found, she will definitely lose it. The doctor has said that she can't be too agitated right now. If not, she will go into premature labor. She has already bled.""Bled?" Chad was stunned."Yes, bled. The doctor said that this is a sign of premature labor." Mike crossed his hands on his waist. "When is Elliot coming back?""He'll reach by seven tomorrow morning," Chad said. "I hope Avery sleeps until then.""So what if she sleeps until the next morning? The main point is Tammy is missing. What if the people who kidnapped her had done something to her? The consequences are unimaginable. Think of Zoe. Then think of Nora. They were Chelsea's doing." Mike gritted his teeth
Chapter 699
Mike had long guessed that Avery would ask this question once she was up.They might need to sedate her again, otherwise, she would not get the rest she needed. "I haven't heard any news yet, but don't worry. The police are searching for her. She will definitely be found by the morning." Mike assured her.When Avery heard that they had not gotten any news on Tammy, she staggered. She was swaying soullessly from side to side. "Avery, go to bed and lie down. What happens if you go into premature labor?" Mike lifted her up and placed her in bed. "Your child is only eight months old. If you were to give birth to it now, although it might survive, it still has to be placed in an incubator. You're a doctor. You should know that premature children get sick easily. Do you want to see your child suffer?"Mike's words caused her body to stiffen. She wanted to go look for Tammy, but she had to care for the child in her womb too. She tried to control her emotions, but no matter how hard she
