"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

"Why are you looking at me like that, Avery?" A pink flush washed over Elliot's handsome face.He and Avery had made up and were in a loving relationship, but she would rare stare straight at him like this unless they were in a fight.He could not tell what she was thinking.This was also one of the reasons he was so obsessed with her."I think you look particularly dashing today." Avery led Elliot over to the couch, then stroked the hair on his head and said, "Did you put on hair wax? It's not good for you. You're still very handsome without it."Elliot was speechless.He suspected Avery was on some kind of drug. Why else would she be acting this strangely?"Have you had breakfast yet? Shall I get you a glass of milk?" Avery said, then went to the kitchen to get a glass of milk before he could answer. She handed the glass to him and said, "Drink up!"Elliot held the glass of milk in his hand, then gazed at her with eyes filled with suspicion. "Avery, you…""Don't move! I thin

"You mentioned talking about our lives together. Did you have any special requests?" Avery took a seat at the dining table, then lifted her gaze at Elliot.Elliot shook his head and said, "I'm worried Hayden would feel uneasy about me moving in.""Well, I'm definitely not moving into your place! The kids wouldn't move there, and I can't be apart from them," Avery said without hesitation. "I don't want you to be upset, but the kids take priority over you in my heart."Elliot had no words.Even if Avery had not said it, he knew the reality of things.Hearing it said out loud just stabbed at his heart.He could not come up with a perfect plan, so he turned silent.Avery thought that her words were too harsh and hurt him."How about we don't think about this for now? You could move in here or we could move into your place. As long as we don't make it an issue, it isn't something that would trouble us," she said comfortingly."I've given it some thought. I want to give the kids som

"Good news? You not driving me to my death is good news enough for me," Cole teased with a cold chuckle.Avery stayed silent for a few seconds, then hit him right where it would hurt and said, "Are you that spineless? If your uncle was the one asking you out, would you be so scared that you would lose your soul?""Avery Tate! Why are you provoking me? I've already lost everything. Why are you still looking for me? I don't want to know about you and my uncle, nor do I care. Even if you get married one day, it would have nothing to do with me! My uncle would never invite me to the wedding!"Avery waited for him to finish speaking, then calmly said, "Your uncle and I are actually getting married. I'm the one who gets to decide if you're invited or not. Your uncle will listen to me."Cole was stunned."Come out and meet me, Cole. There are some things I'd like to talk to you about face-to-face." Avery used Elliot as bait to get Cole to meet her. "Your uncle isn't as heartless as you t
