Chapter 761
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'
Chapter 765
Suddenly, the wailing sounds of a baby's cry brought her back to reality.Robert was probably crying because of the noise outside.Avery quickly picked him out of the cradle.The moment he was in his mother's arms, Robert instantly stopped crying."You big brother and sister are playing in the snow outside, Robert. You'll play with them once you grow bigger, okay?" Avery stood by the window as she carried her son and looked at the scenery outside.Robert could not be held upright yet, so his twinkling black eyes were fixed on Avery's face in fascination."Are you hungry, sweetie? I think it's been two hours since your last feeding… I'll go make you some milk." Avery carried him to the crib and placed him inside.The nanny wanted to help, but she found that Avery was an expert at both handling the baby and making milk. There was no room for anyone else to interfere."You're amazing, Miss Tate. You're so good at everything," praised the nanny.Avery accepted the praise, then ask

In truth, Avery felt uneasy. Her senses told her that so long as Elliot's issue wasn't resolved, bringing the child over to pressure him would only make things worse.She regretted it as soon as she stepped foot into the living room of Elliot's mansion, but Mrs. Scarlet was extremely pleased to see Robert.Mrs. Scarlet accepted Robert from Avery's arms and played with him for a while, before passing him back to Avery."Avery, Mr. Foster is upstairs. He's only had some soup tonight. That can't possibly be enough, but he won't even take another bite of food. I'm not sure if he's resting or in the study room right now," Mrs. Scarlet said as she led the way, "watch your steps while you are carrying the child.""Mrs. Scarlet, maybe it's best that I don't disturb him," Avery said hesitantly, "I'm worried that it would only increase his burden if he sees Robert."Mrs. Scarlet was slightly stunned at her words, but then proceeded to say, "but what if he finds relief in seeing Robert? He i

Avery turned around with Robert in her arms and was about to leave, when she heard Elliot coughing.She immediately stopped on her track.Elliot didn't cough all that often and would only do so when he was ill.She strode to the stairs where Mrs. Scarlet was waiting and handed Robert to her, before turning around to head back into the study room. She strolled towards him and studied his flushed cheeks resulting from the constant coughing.There was a strong emotion in the air that no one could label, but it felt like something would explode at the softest touch."Are you sick?" Avery asked and reached up to touch his forehead to test his temperature.Elliot took a few steps back. "It's just a cold. I don't have a fever."Avery closed in on him and asked, "did you ask me to take Robert away because you are sick and don't want him to catch it, not because you don't want to see him?"He stared at her with dark, brooding eyes and answered honestly, "both. Who asked you here?""No

After she left, Elliot called the family doctor once again and said, "I'm fine. You don't have to come now."The doctor was slightly confused. "Mr. Foster, I'm already on the way there. Why don't I come and have a look?"Elliot hung up. He reached up to touch his forehead and noticed that his skin was slightly hot to the touch.He did not realize that he had a fever before Avery arrived. Though he did feel unwell, it did not affect his work; after Avery's visit, however, he felt as though all strength had been drained from him.He lied down on the bed and tried to empty out his emotions, but no matter how many times he tried, his effort ended in failure.Whenever he tried to forget about what happened earlier, Robert's face would appear in his mind.Robert's adorable, little face, and his bright, curious eyes were like a blinding ray of light that pierced through the darkness.By the time the doctor arrived at Elliot's mansion, Elliot's had already drifted off to sleep.The doc
