Over at Ylore, it had been almost a week since Elliot's arrival.

After Gary introduced all the ventures that he was involved in, he brought Elliot to have a chat over some drinks.

"You haven't contacted anyone from the country within the last couple of days, right?" Gary was referring to Avery.

"I lost my phone." Elliot raised his glass and took a sip. "I've already told you that."

"Yes, I remember. I sent some guys to check the villa a couple of times, and I also sent someone to the airport to look for it. None of them found it though," Gary said frankly. "You probably didn't bring it with you on the plane. "

"I was answering your question." Elliot put down his glass and stared into the far night sky from the balcony. "I couldn't contact anyone because I lost my phone."

"Hahaha! If you wanted to them, you'd have all sorts of ways to do it even if you lost your cell phone. Didn't I send someone to buy you a new cell phone? I'm sure you remember Avery's number. If you wanted to co

    "A glass of water, please." Elliot sat down on the sofa.The housekeeper immediately brought a glass of water and handed it to him.He took the water glass, took a sip, and began to think about the consequences he might face after getting the treatment.He had not considered that before that day.Gary's words gnawed at a lingering resentment that had festered in his dead heart. "I was never this lonely."How did I end up falling so far?"Did I really have to waste my life in meaningless existence?" he thought. He could not accept it.Whether he was Elliot or Nathan's illegitimate son, he should not let his life be destroyed or defined by anyone.He did not want anyone to look up to him, and what he wanted was for everyone to know that they could not hope to reach his level.After putting the glass down, he said to the housekeeper, "Give me a pen and a notepad."The housekeeper immediately went and fetched them for him.He took the pen and notepad back to the bedroom and

    Adrian was at the inpatient unit of the hospital in Bridgedale. Adrian opened his eyes and saw Cole. His gentle gaze instantly turned cold. Avery had told him to treat Cole like air. Since he was a patient at that moment, even if he ignored Cole, Cole would not be angry at him."Uncle Adrian, you're awake." Cole saw Adrian open his eyes. He immediately smiled and said, "I bought you some soup. It's in the thermos. I'll get it for you. Can you drink the soup by yourself? Or… do you need to be fed?"Of course, Cole did not want to feed him. He only had a kidney taken out. His hands had no problems. He could surely eat on his own. Adrian looked at him coldly and shook his head."Are you not hungry?" The smile on Cole stiffened. He said, "You have been asleep for so long without having any food. How could you not be hungry? If you don't have any food, it will delay your recovery."Cole hoped that he would get discharged earlier, naturally, he had to care for him well.Adrian still

    Ben took his phone and walked to the door. Through his intercom monitor, he saw Lilith's face. He was instantly furious! "I have already changed the pin for the gate! How did she even get into the courtyard?" thought Ben. Other than climbing over the fence, he could not think of any other possibilities! He wanted to get to the bottom of this, so he opened the door.When he opened the door, Lilith immediately entered and headed to his living area with her suitcase.Ben was bewildered.He looked at her brazenly entering his home. He did not know what to do."Lilith White!" Ben yelled, "What are you doing?!""I checked out of my place." Lilith sat on the sofa and hugged her luggage. She looked at him with teary eyes. "Someone kept knocking on my door last night. I checked the surveillance this morning. It was a man. He must be a pervert, so I can't continue staying there."Ben instantly cooled down. He walked over to her and asked, "Did you report it to the police?"Lilith shoo

    "Elliot, do it!" said Gary, who was standing next to him. "Three hundred clinical trials and all of them were successful." "Mr. Gould, to put it more accurately, there have been three hundred and one successful cases. Have you forgotten that you have undergone this surgery too?" The doctor said with a smile.Elliot immediately looked at Gary.Gary chuckled. "Of course, I haven't forgotten about it. I just didn't want to mention it!" Then, he looked at Elliot, "Do you know about Kelly? I heard that she was a golden-fur dog that was with me for twenty years.""I know. She died.""Yes, the people around me told me about her. I wipe all memory of her, and I don't remember her at all," Gary blushed a little. "I never thought that I would have such a strong feeling for a dog. It is quite embarrassing to mention it which is why I didn't tell you that I had this surgery.""You really don't remember Kelly anymore?" Elliot looked at him, stunned.Gary nodded. "Do you think I'm faking my

    Shea was still weak, but she was able to think clearly now, unlike a few days back. Wesley saw Avery entering and immediately walked over to the door. "She just fell asleep. Let's talk outside."Avery nodded.They went to the doctor's room and shut the door."I'm not going back tonight," Avery said, "Tonight has to succeed. If not, Adrian will be taken away by Cole.""Hmm, don't worry. I have already arranged it. There shouldn't be a problem.""We have to decide the place soon," Avery said. "The place you mentioned to me the day before yesterday, I still feel it's not safe enough.""Then, we'll do according to what you say," Wesley said. "Although we might trouble others, the place you chose is indeed safer.""Okay." Avery chose Professor Hough's place. After he passed, no one touched his house. It was closer to the hospital, and it was also next to a police station. This was the reason why Avery chose that place. She had contacted Professor Hough's son the day before. The

    Avery shook her head. "I don't even know where he is now. I don't know where to look for him. Shea is not completely out of danger yet. I'm still worried for her. I'll wait until she gets discharged."Wesley said, "Can't you log into his account? You can ask his friends."Avery replied, "Are you asking me to use his account to ask his friend?"Wesley said, "You could also use your account to ask his friends. He is a famous person, and he can't just vanish without a trace. As long as you ask around, you will hear news about him."Avery said, "Actually, not getting any news about him right now is considered good news. If he were to encounter any accident, he would surely be on the news. Now that I can't find any news about him, that means he is still alive and well.""You sure know how to console yourself," Wesley said and smiled helplessly."Initially, I really wanted to look for him. I was so anxious I was going mad. But that just made me realize that me going mad would be comple

    Since Lilith had ordered takeout for almost every meal, Ben thought that she had not known how to cool.However, seeing the fluid manner in which she chopped vegetables, it was clear that she knew how to cook. "I'm cooking!" Lilith placed the chopped zucchini on the plate. "The people you hire by the hour only do the chores. They don't cook.""You can order takeout!" Ben teased. "Don't you do that every day?""How do you know I have been ordering takeout every day?" Lilith had been at home for the past few days without leaving. However, Ben was never home when she had ordered takeout. "The old lady who collects the trash told me," Ben sneered. "Are you sick of eating out which is why you start cooking?"Lilith shook her head. "Takeouts are great. How could I get sick of eating them? I just saw an article online saying that pregnant women should not eat too much takeout. It's not good for the baby, so I decided to make my own food."The smile on Ben's face disappeared."Once I

    In the kitchen, Lilith could hear Ben's conversation clearly. She knew that besides Avery, Ben was also looking for Elliot.She stood by the kitchen entrance, openly eavesdropping.Ben did not realize that she was eavesdropping. After his call, he massaged his rather sore neck. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Lilith's head pop out from the kitchen."What are you doing!" Ben thought that she was rather sneaky, like a giant surveillant camera.Lilith immediately came out of the kitchen. "There are no peppers at home. I like peppers. I can't do without it.""Why didn't you get it when you were doing the groceries?" Ben raised his eyebrows. "Are you asking me to buy them for you?""Let's go together! You were massaging your neck just now. Do you have a crick in your neck?" Lilith walked over to him. "You lack exercise. You need to move more. Once you're older, your body will deteriorate. If you exercise, things will improve."Then, Lilith reached out and grabbed Ben by the arm.

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

    Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

    Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

    After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
