"Oh, tell me about it." Trevor listened attentively.

Blake slowly pulled out a cigarette, his gaze fixated on the monitoring screen as he slowly spoke: "On the surface, Audrey seems to be the most suspicious, but Zuri is only an executioner hired by her. But if you think about it carefully, many things don't make sense. Why would the date of remittance be in recent days? If you buy a person, the date of payment must be at the beginning, or at the end, or at the end, and such a period of time is obviously illogical. That is to say if those videos were deliberately washed out by someone, then during that period of time, Angie should have been alone in the ward. Furthermore, she must have seen someone.”

Hearing that, Trevor was startled, "Are you suspecting Angie?"

Blake did not directly answer, but with a smack, he used a firearm to ignite the smoke between his fingers and took two deep breaths, yet he still exhaled very little smoke. Trevor could tell that Blake was not in a good mood

    Facing his stubborn father, Blake knew that no matter what he said, it would all be in vain. He threw the broken cigarette butt into the crystal ashtray, then picked up his jacket and stood up. "Dad, Avery's current condition is still not too stable, she needs my care. Let's talk about this later."Blake would not change his mind, nor did he want to anger his father, so he could only leave. For now, they could only delay the situation for a little while."Blake, I'm warning you, unless I die, you must break off the relationship with Avery and properly find a woman to marry and have kids with."Blake's footsteps paused slightly, and the corner of her mouth raised into a bitter smile. From the moment he knelt in front of Avery and put the ring on her finger, how could he not want to marry and have children with her, and have a peaceful life together?However, their marriage had been mixed up with far too much helplessness. His owed Angie, as well as the fact that he was shouldering the

    A few days passed, but Audrey's case still had not progressed an inch. Both parties were still holding onto their own words, and for a moment, they were in a deadlock. Regardless of whether it was related to the case or not, the police had all visited them, including Avery and Angie.When Angie was questioned by the police, she was extremely calm. She was very smart, knowing what was beneficial to her and what was disadvantageous to her. She naturally would not mention her relationship with Dr. Zuri, even if she had Audrey sign an organ donation agreement.She was talking more about the relationship between him and Blake, her lovable and touching appearance, and the tears in the corner of her eyes. It was as if Avery was the third party between her and Blake. She spoke for a very long time before finally saying that Avery had taken the initiative to look for her and the transaction between them, but had only passed on a few simple sentences."Avery took the initiative to look for me.

    After the two of them left, only Blake and Avery remained in the room. She somewhat embarrassedly pulled down the blankets on her body, and then said haltingly, "I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while." After she finished speaking, without waiting for Blake's reply, she lay down on the big bed.Blake could naturally see that she was trying to escape. He neatly turned around and laid beside Avery, wrapping her in his arms from behind while her chin rested on Avery's thin shoulder. Hearing his faint sigh, Blake asked, "Avery, is it so hard to say that you love me?"Avery remained silent and thought, you sure know how to talk about love."Avery, I am sorry, but I have always ignored your feelings. From start to finish, I thought it was me stubbornly persisting, but it turned out that you were the same as me. I, I'm very happy.” He hugged her even more tightly, the warm air tickling Avery's neck made her unable to sleep.She was forced to turn around. She raised her small face to look at

    "Then why did you inject meperidine into Avery?" A police officer asked with a cold expression.Dr. Zuri's face darkened. Lowering his head, she sighed and said, "Because the side effects of the drug are very large, it can cause one's heart energy to be overdone, their blood pressure to drop, their breathing to be suppressed, or even … Suddenly dying is a selfish thing to do. My daughter Angie has been getting worse. I had no choice but to do this."The police officer who recorded the confession was silent for a moment, then looked at her and continued to ask, "Does Angie really know nothing about this matter? Then why did you take the video off?"Dr. Zuri's expression was extremely calm, so calm that it was a little unusual. “As a mother, I secretly visit my daughter, it should be within reason, there is nothing strange. As for Angie, she never knew that I had a mother. Even if she did, she would hate me.”Speaking to here, Dr. Zuri was moved, and her eyes became moist.At this point

    "Avery is resting right now. Aunty, you should go back first, at the moment, I think it's not appropriate for you to meet Avery."Audrey shook her head. At this moment, she couldn't wait to see her daughter, she couldn't delay any longer. "Blake, step aside. I want to see her even for once. Just once."Blake stood steadily at the door, with no intentions of backing down. He was very clear that if he let Audrey in at this moment, it would not be as simple as just taking a glance. Women are all emotional creatures. "I'm sorry, Auntie. You should go back first.""No, Blake, you don't understand. You don't know anything …" As Audrey said this, her tears fell again.Blake took out his handkerchief and handed it over to her in an extremely gentlemanly manner.His words shook Audrey, but she quickly understood. He was Avery's lover and knew that there was nothing wrong with it.Blake sighed. Yes, he knew, it was just that he knew about it too late, if not, the journey between him and Avery w

    "Angie, do you know that you're in a very sorry state right now, completely unlike you I used to know, that eternally noble and beautiful Angie?" Blake saidcoldly.Angie's movements paused for a moment, then randomly wiped the tears off her face, combed her hair, and crawled up. She was born to love beauty. In front of the man she loved, she had to show her most beautiful side."Blake, now, now?" Angie asked hesitantly.Blake's gaze lightly swept across his body as he coldly said, "Look, Angie, in fact, without me, you would still be able to stand up on your own. With your intelligence, you would be able to live a good life without me."Angie wasn't stupid, she naturally understood the hidden meaning behind his words, and staggered two steps back, tears flowing down her face. "Blake, you, what do you mean by this? You don't want me anymore? You don't want me because I can't see, do I?”"Angie, from the moment you turned around and left, I already couldn't afford you.

    "Angie, if you don't want people to know, don't do it unless you are alone. Do your best. But, if you continue to hurt Avery, I will definitely not let you go. ""You, you, you …" Angie consecutively said "you" three times with her voice trembling violently. Although she could not see, she could imagine Blake's sinister and cold expression. Even supposing that expression would have frightened her.However, she could not give up at this moment. If she did, she would lose Blake, lose everything. She did not want to lose everything. She had had enough of the bleak and bullied days of the orphanage, and she would never go back."Do you really love her that much, Blake?" she cried."Yes." It was another cold reply, but it was decisive.Angie bit her lips. She felt that her senses were like eyes. They had lost their function because she felt blood dripping from her lips. However, she couldn't feel any pain. She smiled bitterly, but tears kept rolling down the corners of her eyes.“You loved

    "What are you doing?" Blake asked in confusion, but before she could reply, he had already strode forward, and without any explanation, he had carried her back to the sickbed.She wore a white hospital gown, and her long hair hung to her waist. Perhaps it was because she had just woken up, but she looked a little lazy.Blake lovingly rubbed her head, then saw her exposed pair of delicate feet. “Is it cold?” As he spoke, his warm palm had already wrapped around her tiny ankle, and her beautiful foot was stepping on top of his palm like a newly bloomed white lotus on the water's surface.Her slightly cold foot felt like it was stepping on his warm palm, giving her an indescribable feeling.Avery's face slightly flushed, her clear eyes lowered, not daring to look at him. She had been sleeping all day and felt bored. She wanted to flip through a few books. “Where's my book? Where are they?”Blake smiled gently. Naturally, those books had been disposed of by him, and the doctor said that s

    Trevor had given more than enough face by driving the car himself. He was the quickest person, always the one who could not stay idle. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Angie's indifferent and calm face."Aiyo, Miss Lopez seems to be in good shape today. It looks like she's not sick. I was still worried when we arrived. If you go crazy in my car, I'll directly push you out of the car or send you to a mental hospital."His joke made Angie's face change, "I'm not crazy."Trevor shrugged his shoulders and laughed, thinking: When she went crazy, he was a madman."Did Blake ask you to come to me?" Angie asked again."Do you think I'm willing?" Trevor was still smiling mischievously.However, Trevor, who was in front of her, suddenly splashed a bucket of cold water. "Miss Lopez, don't be so emotional. Mr. Anderson fears you will have a sickness that will hurt his precious little face."Angie's rosy complexion immediately became pale, her fists clenched tightly.

    Blake was silent for a moment. His tall and big body was utterly shrouded in darkness, "What if I say that I don't care?""Do you know what you're talking about, Blake?" Even Esme, who was pointing at his arm, was trembling slightly. “I think that girl completely bewitches you. Do you know what bloodlines are? When you get to my age, it'll be too late to regret it. ""I won't regret it." Blake's words were firm, and each word was loud and clear. He would never regret loving Avery.After speaking, he picked up his suit jacket from the sofa. It was already very late, and he still had to rush back to get Avery up and take some medicine. Aunt, Dad, I didn't come back to quarrel. I know that you all are doing this for my good, but you all have never understood what I need. I am thrilled to be together with Avery. "And this kind of happiness was enough to make up for all the shortcomings in his life."What do you know? Do you think saying sweet words when the two of them are in the prime o

    The two of them dined in a Western restaurant with a candlelit dinner. It was a romantic and cozy dinner. Under the candlelight, the bright red wine in the wine cup shone brilliantly. Beside the dining table, a professional violinist was playing the violin. The sound of the violin was so long that it was intoxicating.After dinner, Blake drove Avery back to the villa. He stayed with her, watching her sleep.Avery's sleeping visage was quiet, her delicate, long eyelashes casting a shadow over her skin.He carefully covered the corner of her blanket, his movements extremely gentle. He was afraid that he would wake the sleeping girl. Avery, good night, a good dream. "He bent over and kissed Avery's forehead, then stood up and left.The car broke through the night and sped along the road, its destination being the villa at Anderson Family.Blake walked into the house. In the living room, General Anderson and Esme were talking, and the niece was playing with bricks by the side. She wore a

    Prof. Johnson shook his head and sighed. He didn't know if he should call her stubborn or stupid. "80%." The professor of Prof. Johnson answered in a straight line.Avery was motionless, with a frown between her brows, when she heard Prof. Johnson add, "Mortality rate is 80%, so I hope you won't take the risk. To exchange one's life for another is, in medicine, an act of folly. "Walking out of the hospital's gate, Avery looked up at the sky, her small face pale to the point of transparency. It was obviously warm, like spring, but Avery suddenly felt cold. Her lead white hands gripped her collar tightly, pulling her outer robes tightly, still feeling cold."Ma'am, shall we go back?" The driver came over.Avery shook her head, "Take me to the amusement park. I want to relax.""Alright, alright." The driver eagerly opened the door for Avery.The amusement park had always been a paradise for children, but it was also spring. The children's laughter could be heard constantly from the amus

    So it was a different time.Now, she was crowned with such a big hat in the name of love. Even more so, Avery couldn't bear it. The noble ladies of the upper class were naturally qualified politicians. If Avery still didn't leave after taking her big hat, she would become the executioner who destroyed Blake's life, causing his life to be incomplete.However, at this moment, the elegantly dressed woman sitting in front of her, who had always been aloof and aloof, did she know what love was?Love is not only to achieve, love or not to leave, but love is also to stick to; love is always together.Avery knew that it was impossible to have children and that her life was destined to be incomplete. She never had selfishly wanted Blake to be as vague as her, but she only wanted him to stay by her side for one more month, one more day, or even every minute and second.Her suffering, her pain, who could understand it?Avery's eyes became moist, but she smiled: "What do you want me to do?"

    When Blake returned to the bedroom, Avery was still awake. She said that she was tired, and that was just an excuse.Avery stood before the bedroom window, quietly looking out in that direction. She just so happened to see Audrey's car leave."What are you thinking about?" He took her in his arms from behind and held her gently in his arms.Avery silently shook her head.Blake sighed, "Can't you forgive her? Avery, Dr. Zuri plotting to kill you had nothing to do with Aunt Audrey. She's just like you, and she's a very kind person. ""Can you not talk about this?" Avery turned around and hugged him, her head gently resting on his chest."Mm. Alright." Blake replied warmly, his eyes deep and serene. He knew that Avery was escaping."You should go to the hospital for reexamination tomorrow. Sleep early, and I'll accompany you there tomorrow.""Alright." Avery complied, taking out the soft silk pajamas from the closet, then she walked into the bathroom."Avery." He suddenly called after he

    Her words made Blake's face darken instantly, "Avery, do you know what you're saying? You're going to push me to someone else, aren't you? "His deep gaze fell on her, sharp with a trace of helplessness and sadness. His two fingers suddenly exerted force, extinguishing the cigarette's tip at his fingertips.Avery's head was pressed down very low, and her ice-cold little hands grabbed onto his warm and thick palm. Her voice was timid, like a child afraid of being punished for something wrong, "I, I didn't mean that.""What does that mean?" Blake was a little angry. What he disliked the most was her everyday look. She was always filled with sympathy, and she always quickly pushed him away, making him feel like she did not care about him at all."I just feel sorry for her." Avery's voice was getting lower and lower."She is not pitiful, and it has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with me.

    It turned out that the night had already begun to sink.“You’re back.” She gave him a soft, gentle smile.Blake squatted before her and gently caressed her pale face with his palm. How long have you been here? “My body is so cold.”“It wasn’t long. The room is too stuffy, so I came out to get some fresh air.” Avery replied indifferently.Blake smiled, and without saying anything further, he carried her up from the ground and walked into the villa, “Didn’t you go to the department store earlier this morning? What did you buy?”“Nothing.” Avery casually replied.“Oh? Didn’t you have high-end female clothing? “Blake asked. Avery had bound his phone with his gold card in the morning, his family had clearly swiped some money, and he was still happy that his woman had finally learned to spend his money, but Avery’s gold card had bound his phone, and in the morning, his family’s gold card had obviously swiped some money, and he was still happy that his woman had finally learned to spend his

    Dina did not care about the Lee family members and pounced towards Quizza's face but was stopped by a cold voice."Dina." Avery, who had been silent all this time, had finally opened her mouth. She stood up and slowly walked over, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and the gaze that landed on Quizza's body carried a faint iciness."And who are you? "Mind your own business." Quizza's best friend was the first to speak.Avery smiled gently, the corners of her lips slightly raised, ethereal, and beautiful. I am Avery Foster, the ex-wife of Blake you all mentioned before, who can't give birth to a child and can die at any time. "Quizza was slightly shocked, and she sized Avery up from top to bottom. She was indeed a wonderful woman, with a faint and elegant temperament, remarkably similar to a bit of daisy that bloomed in the sun during the summer, but in her eyes, Avery was not an obstacle for her on her path forward because her disease did not even cause her the right to enter the J
