The doorbell to Avery's room rang a while later.Avery heard it, but she did not feel like opening the door nor did she want to know who was on the other side.She felt hollow. It was as if she was floating on the surface of a body of water but could not drown no matter how much she wanted to.She wondered for a moment why she felt this hopeless. She wondered if she still harbored delusions about Elliot. Despite all the times he had lied to her, she had never really learned her lesson.Otherwise, she could have immediately left after he revealed his plan.The doorbell continued to ring and it gave Avery a splitting headache.She had a feeling that whoever was ringing the doorbell would not cease until she opened the door.She held onto the edge of the bed for support, got to her feet, then dragged herself toward the door.When she opened the door, a tall, familiar silhouette appeared before her.The moment Avery saw Elliot, she took a step back on reflex."Avery! You got it

Avery opened up her contacts and found her mother's contact card.She sent a text to the number.[Elliot and I are back together, Mom. This time, we cleared up all of our misunderstandings. I believe that we won't ever be apart again after this. I hope you're doing well up in heaven. I'll live a good life and raise the kids well.]After Avery sent the message, she put down her phone and prepared to go back to sleep.At that moment, something suddenly lit up in the room.She glanced over to the source of light and saw Elliot's phone screen flashing on the nightstand.She could vaguely make out that he had received a text message, but she could not see who it was from or what it was about.He had never kept his phone from her. He would not get mad even if she looked through it.If his phone was by his pillow, she might have taken a look out of curiosity. However, she did not feel like getting out of bed and waking up, so she abandoned the thought of checking it out.She closed h

"Mr. Foster asked me to take you to the airport." Once the elevator doors opened, the bodyguard entered with Avery."I don't need you to take me there!""What are you raising your voice at me for?" snapped the bodyguard. "I'm just following my boss's orders and doing my job!"As Avery looked at the dark expression on the bodyguard's face, she swallowed the words she wanted to say before they could escape her lips.This entire thing was strange and absurd. She had a hunch that something was not right."Did he say anything else when he told you to take me to the airport?" she asked softly."First, wipe those tears away. Your crying is frustrating me."Avery lifted her hand to wipe the tears off her face. "Is he being threatened?""I don't know. He just told me to take you to the airport as soon as possible."Avery remained silent."From what I know about my boss, I'm guessing this place is most likely not safe anymore. He fought with you to protect you and get you to leave."T

"What does Roger Goldstein have against Elliot? Is there some kind of grudge between them? If so, then why did Elliot come here?"Avery found the entire thing slightly strange."They had some drinks together the last time they met." The bodyguard's expression was serious. "That's the world of the wealthy for you. They're friends one day, and possibly arch-nemeses the next. It's all about profit, not relationships."Avery gazed up at the mountain worriedly.She suddenly recalled how Elliot had received a text message in the middle of the night."Could this have something to do with that message?" she wondered.Back up on the mountain, Elliot was led to Roger Goldstein's room by Roger's niece.Roger narrowed his sly eyes as he stared at Elliot."I underestimated you, Elliot!" he exclaimed. "Who did you hear the news from?"Elliot picked up the cigarette case from the table and pulled out a cigarette."You sure are brave to send your bodyguard to take Avery Tate off the mountain

"I'm safe, Avery." Elliot's deep voice came through the phone. "About this morning—""Let's talk when we meet." Avery's voice was trembling uncontrollably. "It's a good thing you're alright. You almost scared me to death, Elliot."Elliot heard the hurt in her voice and said, "Everything's alright now. I'm coming to see you now."After the call ended, Avery lifted her hand and wiped her tears away.The bodyguard wanted to console her and calm her down, but ended up saying, "Mr. Foster isn't dead! I hate seeing women cry and whine."Avery looked up at him with teary eyes and asked, "Why weren't you worried that something would happen to him? You seemed really composed the entire time."The bodyguard chuckled bitterly and said, "This was nothing. There've been countless assassination attempts on Mr. Foster, and many of them were far more dangerous than this. Since you've decided to stay with him, then you'd better prepare yourself for assassination attempts, too."Avery was taken a

Elliot and Avery were supposed to work on their relationship while on vacation in Mount Sierra. In the end, they were faced with grave danger after only one night."Tammy called me first thing in the morning today and said that Avery texted her last night saying she decided to remarry Elliot." Less than half an hour after Mike got excited over the news, he heard about the danger they were facing on Mount Sierra. "Thank goodness it was a false alarm.""I have to get Ben back here to join in on the fun." Chad pulled out his phone and planned to call Ben, who was on a business trip abroad.Mike glanced at the time, then said, "I'm going to stop by Hayden's school. The news is too sudden. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it when he gets home this evening if I don't give him a heads up."Chad grabbed his arm and said, "Hey… Please try and convince Hayden. Mr. Foster and Avery have been through a lot in the past years. Since they've decided to be together, we can't let them not rema

Without hesitation, Avery immediately opened the car door and got out of the car!She saw Adrian's brother!Back when she went to Bridgedale to see them, their neighbor had told her that they had moved! She had continued to look into their whereabouts, but she did not expect them to be in Aryadelle!Avery got out of the car and ran over to Adrian's brother."Mr. White!" Avery grabbed the man's arm from behind as her breathing intensified. "Why did you move? Did you move to Aryadelle for good? Where do you live right now? I'd like to see Adrian!"When Peter White turned and saw Avery, an annoyed and impatient expression instantly appeared on his face.After his father was sent to the hospital— having received a beating from Elliot, he was out buying breakfast for him. He did not expect to run into Avery!"Don't you think you're being annoying, Dr. Tate? Do we know you that well? What does my family moving have anything to do with you? Why do you keep bothering my brother?" Peter

"Why did your car get towed?" Elliot's brows furrowed slightly. "What happened? Why didn't you call me?""It was a small matter." Avery picked up her glass and took a sip of water. "I bumped into the brother of my patient in Bridgedale. Apart from my patient, there's something strange about his family. I'm upset that they won't let my patient contact me. When I saw his brother on the street earlier, I ran over to talk to him."Elliot was baffled after hearing her explanation. "Since your patient's family doesn't want to let you contact him, then why won't you respect their wishes, Avery? He's your patient, not your family. You can't get involved in their personal matters.""I knew you'd say that." Avery frowned. "This patient is different from the others.""I know. He's got the same illness as Shea did. That's why you're paying extra attention to him, right?" Elliot interjected. "Since his family was able to cough up a huge sum of money to hire you, then that means they're definite
