Chapter 1353

Author: Simple Silence
"Mommy, Layla is angry." Hayden changed the topic. "She thought that I would be returning with you, and now, she is upset with me because I didn't get you home. She is now ignoring me."

Avery was heartbroken. "Let's call her!"

"She won't answer," Hayden said.

"Then, I'll call her tomorrow," Avery said. "Don't tell her about the things that had happened here. I don't want her to worry."

"Hmm." Hayden understood. "Mommy, they beat Elliot up for getting me out of Ylore."

Avery was stunned.

"I saw a footprint on his shirt. Gary must have beaten him," said Hayden. "I don't hate him for strangling me anymore."

Avery had mixed feelings. She did not know if she should be happy that father and son had finally forgiven each other, or if she should be upset about Elliot's current condition.

"Mommy, when can you come back? Has he told you already?" asked Hayden when he saw Avery's silence.

"I don't know. Christopher's funeral will be held the day after tomorrow. I'm guessing he will o

    "Oh, are you heartbroken?" Nick smiled thuggishly. "What is a light beating to a man like Elliot? He would not have minded being stabbed or shot." Avery furrowed her brows. "Nick, Elliot is not like the rest of you men. When he was in Aryadelle—"Nick interrupted her. "We're in Ylore. Don't bring up the past, including his affairs in Aryadelle. That is the past."Avery's scrunched her brows. "He will return to Aryadelle. He said that he will return once he settles things here.""When did he tell you that?""A few days ago.""He told you that before Christopher died, right?" Nick sneered. "The night Christopher died, he promised Gary that he would never leave Ylore."Avery instantly paled. She looked lost."You can't bear it, can you?" Nick was not trying to upset her. It was something she was bound to find out— sooner or later.Her finding out about it now was better than her finding out about it from Elliot. She had been completely caught off guard. "There will be many mor

    Once Avery left Ylore, Gary might never allow her to return. It was a long time before a cedar coffin— borne by the members of the Gould family, exited the hotel. She saw Elliot's towering figure. He had clearly become a part of the Goulds.Gary would not have him carry Christopher's coffin otherwise. Soon, they placed the coffin into the hearse. Many expensive cars left, disappearing from sight.Avery, with the umbrella in her hand, followed the crowd and left.She did not hail a taxi. She slowly walked back to the hotel. Her bodyguard and Jed were having tea in the lobby of the hotel when they saw Avery entering the building. They stared at her in shock. They had thought that Avery was resting in her room."Miss Tate!" her bodyguard gasped.Avery was in shock, and she mechanically headed for the lift. It was an action born out of habit.Jed realized that something was not right. He approached her and stopped her. "What happened to you? Why do you look so down? Don't tel

    Ruby had seen how Avery had traveled a thousand miles for Elliot, and she had concluded that Elliot enjoyed women who were more proactive. She had adopted passivity in the past; but that night, she was going to take the lead.She did not expect Elliot to push her hands away."Ruby, I forgot to tell you one thing." He straightened his robe and redid his belt, knotting it tightly. "I have problems down there."Ruby was stunned. She thought she had misheard him and furrowed her brows.She had discussed this possibility with the nanny. The nanny had told her that he could not possibly suffer from such problems, since he had fathered three children with Avery. She blushed awkwardly and retracted her hands, not knowing what to do. "Then, what about before…""That was the past. A man over thirty does not have the same energy he had in his youth." Elliot openly admitted his problem. "My problem is worse than other men. I can't announce this to the public. I hope you don't tell other peo

    Avery had been like this ever since she had returned from dinner."Have I reached the end of the road? Am I really in such a desperate situation?" she thought.Her heart was silent. She knew better than anyone about the dire situation she was in and the relationship she could not save. She could not save herself. Even if Elliot regained his memories and called her to tell her that she was the love of his life, it was still pointless! In the face of death, everything seemed so small.It was almost two in the morning, and she was about to turn off the lights when her phone lit up. It was a message.When she saw Elliot's message, her heart thundered in her chest. She felt like she had just returned from the grave!He replied to the message she had sent, [Wait a little longer.]For a long time, she just stared at the message. Ten minutes had passed, and she was still struggling with herself. She did not know whether she should send him a reply or not. Another ten minutes passed.

    It was an odd thing for a woman to visit the andrology department.Ruby gave her bodyguard a look, asking him to step down."Why are you at the hospital?" Ruby asked Jed. "Are you here to visit the andrology department?"Jed scratched his head awkwardly, "No, I followed you here.""Were you stalking me?" Ruby furrowed her brows in alarm."No, no. You misunderstand. I came to the hospital to do something. I think I told you that Avery and I are university mates? I'm a doctor, and I even had lunch with the vice president!"Hearing his explanation, Ruby lowered her guard."I'm not here to get treatment. I'm here to consult one of the doctors on some issues," said Ruby. Ruby had woken up that morning to find that Elliot had left her. The nanny had told her that he had left the mansion early that morning. Elliot had not told anyone where he was going or when he would be back. Ruby was upset, so she had gone to the andrology department. She wanted to find out whether there was a cur

    "He won't let me touch him." Ruby lowered her gaze. "Avery can touch him, but I can't.""So, why don't you get us out of here?" said Jed. Jed had tailed her because he wanted another shot at persuading her to help them. They would be better off in Aryadelle or Bridgedale. Anywhere was better than here. Ruby sneered, "Dr. Hutchinson, I did not think you followed me because you wanted my help." "You know it yourself. Elliot has Avery in his heart. Only by letting Avery go, can you take your relationship with Elliot to the next level. I'm helping you solve your problem.""Hehe. If I could get you out of here, don't you think I would have already done it? I hate Avery more than anyone!" Ruby was in pain. "If I don't have a child, my father will surely blame me. Am I to have a child with another man?"Jed's head throbbed. "Are you planning to have a child with another man and pass it off as Elliot's?""That was his idea. I think it's a stupid idea! I don't want other men to touch

    Although Jed had told her that, Ruby was still brimming with confidence. If this succeeded, she could make Elliot stay. As long as Elliot never found out who the child's biological mother was, that child would be hers!After Jed completed the check-in process, he did not immediately return to the hotel for Avery. If Avery ever discovered his plan, she would be livid.However, if he did not perform the procedure, the baby would die. When he had to choose between life and death, life was always the better option.Hayden's face kept appearing in his mind. "What if this baby is as smart and capable as Hayden in the future?" he thought.Furthermore, there was a chance that the child would discover the truth in the future, and by then, he could make the decision of whether he wanted to live with Avery or not.The more Jed thought about it, the more determined he was to go through with the plan.They were stuck in Ylore, unable to leave. All he needed to do was transfer the child to R

    [I bumped into Ruby Gould at the hospital. She was troubled over trying to get pregnant because Elliot would not touch her or have a child with her. I knew that Elliot was still thinking about you, which was why he would not touch her.[At that moment, I finally understood why you had risked your life going to Ylore. You two are a match made in heaven, and no matter what, I will not tear you apart.[When writing this email, I still think that you two will be together in the end, because I believe in true love.[You can probably guess what I'm going to tell you next. I transferred the baby you were carrying into Ruby, and in exchange, she helped us get out of Ylore. [I'm writing this email as an admission of my mistakes, and I hope you will forgive me. You must know that the child that Ruby and Elliot share is your child. Yours and Elliot's. [If you want the child back, you should go to Ylore and look for the child! I do not know if the child is a boy or girl, but I'm sure that R

    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
