Chapter 734
Elliot's words left a deep impression on Avery's heart.He thought that Robert's sickness was life's punishment for him.As a doctor, Avery could not agree.Robert's illness was due to both the premature birth and the fact that his body was weak.Her entire pregnancy was a rollercoaster ride. She was sick multiple times and had to take all kinds of drugs. She was also partially responsible for Robert's condition."I'll try to rush back in the next two hours, Avery."Elliot decided to book an entire plane once he arrived at the airport."Drive safe," Avery croaked."I will. The signal here is pretty bad. I'm hanging up.""Okay."Perhaps neither of them realized that, before Robert was born, they had fought over the matter with Chelsea, and broke things off completely.Now, all Avery wanted was for Robert's condition to quickly stabilize. Nothing else was more important than that.Moments later, Chad arrived with dinner for her."Eat something, Avery!" he said. "The police f

Avery stared at Chad and waited for him to continue."He has some stomach problems. When he gets busy and nobody is there to remind him, he'll forget to eat which triggers his stomach issues. He's got medication in his office and in his car. Other than that, he's also got mild depression. I heard about that from Ben. You can't really tell he's got depression from your usual interactions with him.""I could tell. His mood is unpredictable, which gives people a sense of oppression."I'm used to it, so I don't think it's that bad," Chad said awkwardly."Does he have any other illnesses?" Avery continued to ask.Chad thought about it and said, "I don't think there's anything serious.""Anything psychological, for example?""Wouldn't depression count for that?""Medically speaking, depression is considered a mental illness," Avery responded."Oh… Are the psychological issues you're talking about referring to people in mental hospitals with psychological disorders?" Chad frowned."

The moment the bodyguard said those words, everyone in the room was stunned.People would believe it if someone said that Elliot Foster had killed someone, but saying that he got down on his knees must be a joke!He was a formidable force in Aryadelle. With his status, there would never be the need for him to bow down to anyone!However, at this moment, Elliot was hanging his head. His silence was his confession.Avery suddenly recalled what he had said on the phone earlier.He said that he did not use force, and that he was going to try his best to be a good person so that their son did not have to pay for his mistakes.Avery felt a tingling sensation in her nose. She pulled his arm and dragged him away from the crowd."What happened?" Chad asked the bodyguard once Avery and Elliot were out of sight."The person whose blood was a match was a lady in her fifties. She lives in the mountains, so her mindset is relatively ignorant. She thought that donating blood would shorten her

A loving smile appeared on Elliot's face as he said, "I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to come home. I heard that you went to the hospital first thing this morning.""I couldn't go back to sleep once I woke up, but I slept a lot today." After Shea spent the day resting at home, her complexion looked much better than it did earlier. "How's Robert doing?""I found a bag of blood for him today. He should be fine at least until tomorrow." As Elliot said those words, he could not help but feel anxious.It would be great if they could find a large source of blood.That way, they would not have to worry about Robert falling back into critical condition at any moment."You're amazing, Big Brother." Shea held Elliot's hand and gazed at his face without blinking, "You've lost a lot of weight. It's heartbreaking! Mrs. Scarlet went to cook something for you. You have to eat more!"She dragged him toward the dining room."Robert will definitely get better. I still have to teach

There were new developments on the headstone case.The police found the middle aged man that the shop owner said ordered the headstone, and they arrested him at three that morning.The police sent Elliot a text after they made the arrest.After Elliot read the message, he called the station. At the same time, he took the covers off of him and got out of bed.His call was quickly answered."Mr. Foster, we've arrested the suspect and he confessed to his crimes during the interrogation. He said that his motive was money," said the police officer."How did he know my son's name? I'm afraid a regular person would not have the capability of finding that out," Elliot said, bringing up his suspicions.His suspicion made the officer fall silent for a moment."We'll have to continue interrogating the suspect to find that out, Mr. Foster.""Hand him over to me. I can make him tell the truth."Once the call ended, Elliot checked his messages. There were no texts from the doctor nor Avery

Elliot did not say anything. He just quietly held Avery in his arms.Her broken heart immediately found comfort.She was filled with energy and began to believe that a miracle could happen.Once her emotions were stable, Elliot handed the pastries he brought to her.Avery took the pastries and began to eat."The results of the investigation are out," Elliot said in a deep voice after she had eaten two pieces of pastries. "Wanda Tate was the one who sent someone to order the headstone."Avery closed the pastry box, then took a deep breath.Elliot held her hand and said, "Wait here at the hospital. I'll go find her."After he said that, he immediately got up and left.Avery consoled herself as she watched his muscular back. This time, he definitely would not be soft hearted!He might have shown mercy to Chelsea because of their past, but he had no such past with Wanda.Over at Wonder Technologies, Wanda's face had turned pale as her hand trembled around her phone.The subordi

Elliot had no way of confirming that the maroon box he lost was in Charlie's hands.He also could not make sure that Wanda would follow his orders obediently.The reason he was telling her about this was so that he could use her to find out the whereabouts of the box.The theft of the box might have happened a long time ago, but it would still occasionally come up to torment him.That box was like a ticking time bomb, and he did not know when it would go off.He had thought about it for a long time but was still clueless.Who was the one who went into his study and took that box?If someone wanted to bring him down, they could reveal the information in the box at any time and ruin him!However, the person who took the box had never contacted him nor revealed the box's contents to the public.If that person did not want to harm him, then why did they take the box in the first place?It was such a pickle that he wondered if nobody had actually stolen the box, but there was a gl

"It would take at least an entire pint of blood."One pint… All they needed was two adults to donate blood.However, it was hard enough for them to find one donor. Where were they going to find two of them?Elliot could not allow Shea to donate her blood. He could not allow her to take that risk!Then, what would happen to Robert?He was the one who let Robert be born into this world. Did he truly have to watch as he died from this illness?Just as he was standing on the edge of hopelessness, Avery walked over."Mike found the blood." She had just gotten off the phone with Mike and immediately rushed over to tell them the news. "He found close to half a pint of blood. It's been sent to a hospital for testing right now. If it's a match, it can immediately be airflown here.""We still need over half a pint… I'll go search for it…" Elliot mumbled."Where are you going? It's already dark out," Avery said as she grabbed his arm. She did not want him running around anymore. "We coul
