Wesley's actions this time were in complete contrast with his usual conduct!The snow was falling harder when Avery emerged from Wesley's house.Her car was covered in a thick layer of white snow.She loved the snow. If her head was not filled with worry, she would probably take a leisurely stroll in the snow or build a snowman like a happy child.However, when the snow fell upon her face now, all she could feel was a chill to the bone.Avery got into her car and drove to the hospital.At the neonatal unit, there was no sign of Elliot.She had no idea where he was, but she knew that he was in indescribable pain.He must be suffering even more than the night before!It was easier to get over a pain that one could release. It was the pain that one could not talk about that hurt to the depths of your soul.Outside the gates of Angela Academy was a black Rolls-Royce.The car was parked quietly as the wipers rhythmically swept off the snow on the windshield.Elliot was sitting i
As Elliot's tears fell onto his phone screen, he wiped them away with his fingers, but the video came to an end.He watched the video once again, and his heart ached even more!He immediately dialed Shea's number but was once again met by the monotonous sound of the system notification telling him that her phone was turned off.This was the first time in her life that she made an important decision behind his back.He would not forgive her, nor would he forgive himself!He should have realized that she was smarter than she used to be. Why did he not notice that at all?He should have been suspicious the moment Wesley arrived with the first bag of blood.There were indeed good people in the world who would ask for nothing in return for their good deeds, but they would not so coincidentally bump into him.At the same time, Avery also received a text message.She picked up her phone and saw that it was from Wesley.[I'm sorry.]The short message made Avery freeze in place.Wes
"Robert made it through the critical period."On the other side of the line, Mike was ecstatic. "That's wonderful! Let's have a party to celebrate once I'm back!""What's there to celebrate about?" Chad's voice was chilling. "Shea's dead. She sacrificed herself to save Robert."Mike thought he had heard wrongly."Hurry up and get back here, Mike! I can't leave Avery alone, but I need to find my boss," Chad said in a strained voice. "This is a huge blow to him!"…At the Foster mansion, Elliot locked himself inside Shea's room.Earlier, someone had sent over a package. Inside of it was Shea's phone.The phone was filled with selfies and videos of Shea.He looked through every photo and watched every video.Her lively smile made it seem like she was right in front of him, but she would never again appear before him.During the years that Elliot had taken care of her, Shea was his spiritual support.That was because he could only guarantee that nobody would pick on her if he l
Avery did not have the courage nor the heart to tell Elliot about this good news.After all, this happiness was built on top of the pain of losing Shea.If he felt a strong fatherly love toward Robert before, she was afraid that the love he felt might have changed by now.Avery did not dare to expect Elliot to continue to love this child. She just hoped that he did not hate him.She dragged her exhausted body home and was surprised to see Mike had returned."If Robert alright now?" Mike approached Avery, pulled her into his arms, then said softly, "Chad told me about Shea. Everyone's upset about this, but what's done is done."Avery saw Hayden and Layla standing in the living room, so she maintained the calmness on her face."Robert's fine for no. The doctor asked me to get some rest." Her tone was no different from usual.Mike released her.Avery walked over to the children and asked, "Have you guys had breakfast? Is it time for school?""It's the weekend, Mommy!" Layla said
Henry walked to the front yard to welcome the guest.The car came to a halt in front of Henry. When the car door opened, Elliot's bodyguard was the first to emerge.The bodyguard got out of the car and threw a cold glance over at Henry.Henry felt shivers run down his spine from the bodyguard's gaze.What was going on? He was Elliot's biological brother. How dare a bodyguard look at him in such a provocative way?!Many times, the way subordinates treated someone represented the way their superiors felt toward that person.Henry was perplexed. Shea's death had nothing to do with him!Just as he was feeling uneasy, Elliot emerged from the car.He glanced coldly at Henry, then strode into the mansion.Henry was puzzled, but followed after him."I heard about Shea last night, Elliot. I wanted to contact you right away, but I didn't want to bother you that late at night. If you didn't come by, I was planning on going to discuss this matter with you."Elliot's voice was chilling t
Elliot decided the night before that he was going to take revenge for his mother.If the one who killed her was his brother, then he would kill Henry. If it was Cole, then he would kill him.It did not matter who begged for their lives.His fingers tightened around the gun as he aimed it at Cole. He began to count in his head, "One, two, three…"A bang echoed through the entire mansion as a bullet shot in Cole's direction!Cole was so terrified that he forgot to scream.All he saw was a black silhouette flash before his eyes. Immediately after, this silhouette let out a blood curdling cry.Cole watched as his mother fell into his arms, and saw the blood oozing from the corner of her lips!He realized that his mother had taken the bullet for him!"Mom! Mom!" Cole wailed in agony as he held his mother in his arms.Downstairs, Henry witnessed the entire thing and instantly rushed up the stairs."Olivia! Olivia! You can't die, Olivia! I'll take you to the hospital! I'll take you
Why was Cole calling Avery?Avery lay back down on the bed and answered the phone."My mother's dead, Avery," Cole sobbed on the other end of the line.Avery froze for a moment. This was very sudden."Your mother's dead? How did she die?""Elliot Foster shot her," Cole choked. "He wanted to shoot me, but my mother took the bullet for me. I'm in so much pain right now, Avery. I don't know who else to talk to…"Avery sat up.Why did Elliot do that?Shea got in trouble because of Robert. It had nothing to do with Cole!Elliot would not kill someone for no reason. He was not that kind of person!"Did your uncle do that because you did something horrible, Cole?" Avery pestered. "What did you do?!"Cole had simply wanted to complain to Avery, but he did not expect her to be more emotional than he was."It's true that I did something awful. I shouldn't blame my uncle for wanting to kill me, but my mother was innocent!" Cole drew a sharp breath, then wiped the tears from his face.
Mrs. Cooper shook her head and said, "He looked really upset when he left this morning, so I was too afraid to ask. How about you give him a call?"Avery pulled her phone out of her bag and dialed Elliot's number. The call went through, but there was no answer."Come inside, Avery! It's too cold out here." Mrs. Cooper led her inside. "How's your recovery going?""I'm doing well," Avery responded casually.The wound on her abdomen was still aching, but the series of events that were happening constantly made her forget about the pain."I'm also a woman and I've also had children. It hasn't even been a month since you gave birth, but you've been running back and forth between the house and the hospital. That must affect your recovery." Mrs. Cooper sighed, then continued, "Once Robert's condition is stable, you can rest at home in peace. Master Elliot will get through this by himself.""I know. I just came to check on him." Avery would not be able to rest easy if she did not at leas
