Chapter 757
However, there were individual photos of Shea.At the time, Elliot was also just a four-year-old child. Even if he was smarter than others his age, he still would not be able to do anything about wanting his sister to be a part of the family portrait.Avery guessed that Elliot's father was the main reason behind the fact that Shea was left out of the family register. He could not accept having a mentally disabled child.Otherwise, he would not leave his own daughter out of their family portraits.Avery continued to look through the photos. When she turned a new page, she saw a photo of Elliot at five years old.Looking at a five-year-old Elliot felt like she was looking at him now, but something did not feel right.Her heart tightened in her chest as her hands began to tremble.Elliot did not look like this when she was looking at the earlier photos, but the five-year-old Elliot was obviously him!Avery turned back to the earlier pages and tried to find photos of Elliot at four

The hallways in the hospital were secluded and quiet.Avery made her way to the intensive care unit in the neonatal unit.One of the nurses recognized her, then quickly approached her and said, "Robert's doing very well today, Miss Tate! If everything goes well, then you can just rest at home and wait until he can be discharged."Avery nodded her head.Since Robert was fine, there was no use for her to stick around.As she left the hospital, her head began to spin.She knew exactly why she was upset.She could try to convince herself over and over again to not care about Elliot's behavior. She could pretend to be cool and raise the children herself with no hiccups. However, why did her heart ache this much?She knew very well that Hayden and Layla might have always said that they did not want a father, but they wanted one in their hearts.Avery knew that she needed him, too.However, there seemed to always be an invisible pair of claws between them.Every time they wanted to

Avery wanted to return to work, too, but her body still had not recovered.Even if she wanted to go back to the office, Mike would not allow it.There was another thunderstorm today.This winter was much colder than the years before. Mike reminded her not to leave the house before he went to the office earlier."You can invite your friends over to the house if you're bored, Avery," he said.Avery simply grunted in response.Once Mike left, she suddenly thought about how she did not really have many friends. Tammy's abduction left a permanent scar on her, and Wesley was nowhere to be found. She had no friends to invite over at all.Mike returned an hour later with a bag of yarn."Knit a sweater if you're bored, Avery! You could make sweaters for the kids, or even for me." Mike figured that knitting was not a tiring activity, and it took more time. "You could even knit one for Chad's dog."Avery put down the book she was reading, then looked at him and asked, "Do I look that bor

This was Avery's first official meeting with Robert.When he was in the incubator, he was practically in a coma the entire time. After he regained his health, she had not visited him yet.At this time, when she saw his glistening eyes, she could not help but smile."Robert! Sweet baby!" Mike stood next to Avery and gently poked Robert's cheek with his finger. "Let Uncle Mike carry you!"Mike carefully took the baby from Avery's arms.At that moment, Chad walked over with a baby carrier basket and asked Mike to put Robert in it."Don't mess around if you don't know how to carry a baby," Chad warned. "You have to support this part of his neck back here.""You talk like you're experienced. You didn't see how professional I was when handling Hayden and Layla as babies!" Mike bragged, then placed Robert in the carrier basket.They arrived back at the Starry River Villa half an hour later.The baby carrier basket which Robert was lying in was placed on the couch.Layla and Hayden g

Elliot's secondary reason for being in Hartsburg was work. His main reason was to escape.Every time he thought about how Shea had sacrificed herself for Robert, he felt his heart being ripped into pieces and dripping with blood!When his phone screen lit up, he opened up the message he received.A photo suddenly appeared on the screen. Robert was staring blankly at the camera with his obsidian eyes. It was as if he was looking right at Elliot. His breath instantly turned heavy when he saw the photo.He took a deep breath, then placed the phone down.Reason told him that Shea's death had nothing to do with Robert, but he could not get over the obstacle in his heart.The mere thought of how Shea would not appear in front of him and sweetly call him Big Brother again made him crippled with agony, and destroyed all of his reason.That night at the Starry River Villa, Mike had invited Jun and Ben to come celebrate Robert's discharge from the hospital together.A baby Robert's age

However, by the time the clock struck eleven at night, Elliot still did not show up.If he really wanted to see Robert, then he definitely would have come by tonight."Go get some rest, Avery!" Mrs. Cooper checked the time, then said, "Robert is such a good baby. If he cries tonight, I'll get him some milk.""Okay, thank you. I'll take over in the morning."Avery walked out of the room and made it toward the master bedroom.She was much calmer than before.Nobody could have everything. Now that she had her three children by her side, nothing was more important than their health.She felt relieved after she thought it through.When she returned to her room, she did not feel like sleeping at all.With Mrs. Cooper helping out with Robert, she did not have to worry about anything.She suddenly remembered the jobs she picked up while she was pregnant.Since the patient was not in a hurry, she put the job on hold when she entered her third trimester.She pulled the patient's medi

"He didn't look for me, but I'm running out of time! Do you have any clues, Tierney?" Wanda said. "We're on the same boat right now. If you can't save me, then I will definitely drag you down into the waters with me.""Are you not afraid that I might kill you, Wanda Tate? Where did you find the gall to threaten me?" Charlie said."I didn't depend on this old face to get to where I am today!" Wanda's voice turned eerie. "I have plenty of ways to get away from this, but I refuse to hide like a rat! I want to work with you and bring Elliot Foster down! Only then would I be able to focus on dealing with Avery Tate!"Charlie was silent for a few seconds.He also wanted to bring Elliot down, so what he needed to do right now was not fall out with Wanda."I got a clue about that box."He wanted to talk about this only after he found the box, but since Wanda was pestering him, he had to bring it up earlier."What clue?" Wanda asked nervously."I'll tell you about it once I find the box. If I g

The way Chelsea saw it, Hayden Tate was young, but he was smarter than a typical adult.On the other hand, Avery's daughter was just an average innocent little child.It would be easier to handle Layla.Charlie went into deep thought after hearing Chelsea's suggestion.This was a risky move. He did not dare make that move easily without absolute certainty.At 7 a.m. the next morning, Avery walked into the nursery.The baby was still asleep, but Mrs. Cooper had already woken up."Thanks for last night, Mrs. Cooper. You can go and rest now. I'll watch him during the day," Avery said."Alright. He had milk three times last night. He's got a good appetite, and he's quite strong," Mrs. Cooper said with a chuckle. "He's a good baby. He only cries when he's hungry, and falls asleep right after he has his milk.""Hayden was like that at his age, too. Layla was a little noisier, though," Avery said.Mrs. Cooper froze for a moment, then said, "Avery, Layla and Hayden are Master Elliot'
