Chapter 1359

Author: Simple Silence
"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

    At the mansion, Elliot and Ruby were in the dining hall having dinner."Elliot, why did you leave so early this morning?" Ruby asked cautiously, breaking the silence."Your dad got me to accompany him to your sister-in-law's this morning," Elliot said calmly. He changed the topic. "Have you given any thought to last night's suggestion?""I have," Ruby said. "I won't force you to do it, but I can't sleep with your bodyguard. Elliot, I am your wife. Other than you, I will not sleep with other men."Elliot saw her stubbornness, and he instantly furrowed his brows. "What if I don't touch you for the rest of your life?""If that's the case… I won't tell my father," whispered Ruby. She seemed heartbroken. "I went to the hospital today. The doctor told me that I can try for a test tube baby."Elliot's eyes sparkled a little. "That works too, but don't let your father find out about it.""I know. I'll be careful." Hope sparked in Ruby when she heard the tenderness in his voice. "Will yo

    Avery instantly forgot that she had called Mike to inform him about her surgery."Ah? You haven't heard about it? I thought someone in the office would have told you about it, and that you are calling me to settle the score with me," Mike said awkwardly."No wonder you haven't been calling me. Turns out, it's the company that is in trouble." Avery took a deep breath. "Is the company going bankrupt?""Yeah," Mike sighed. "I'm sorry, Avery. This time, it is really my fault. I think I told you about the time I had gotten dumped. Well, that man is looking for me. He did not approach me directly, but he stole our core technology for Wanda. Wanda did not even need to compensate him. He did that to gain my attention. That idiot!""Your ex?""Hmm. I forgot to tell you that he is also a hacker. His hacking skills are better than mine. It took me a few sleepless nights to find out that it was him!"Avery was baffled. She did not know what to say.Mike said, "I have already told him to f*c

    "Avery, although Mr. Gould doesn't like you, if you could treat him, I will put in a good word for you!" Paul said roughly."Avery, are you really that amazing?" Ruby was skeptical. "If you can treat my father, I will put in a good word, too."Elliot turned around and took his phone out. He sent her a message.Avery was holding her phone in her hand, and she felt it vibrate. She looked at her phone and saw Elliot's message. The message was short. [Decline.]He wanted her to decline the request.She looked at her phone and said to Ruby, "I'll have to assess your father's condition before giving you an answer." The door to the emergency room opened.Elliot saw her striding into the emergency room. He clenched his hands into tight fists!"Clearly, she has read my message, but why is she not listening?!" he thought. "Did she forget the kind of man Gary is? Forget Gary, even Paul is cold and cruel!" If Avery were to treat Gary and fail, Paul would surely want her dead.Elliot wa

    Avery could see that Elliot was not doing well."The inpatient unit is that way, let's go!" said Aaron, the bodyguard, breaking the silence. He had noticed that they had not moved.The three of them headed to the inpatient unit.When they reached the neurology department, Avery said to Elliot, "Get your bodyguard to pay the bill."Elliot immediately got his card out and handed it to the bodyguard. After the bodyguard left, Avery led Elliot into a doctor's office.There were two doctors in the office. They were rather surprised to see Avery and Elliot entering the room. Avery took Elliot into the office washroom and shut the door."Didn't I tell you to decline their request? Why did you not listen to me?" growled Elliot."Why should I refuse Gary treatment?" Avery had her own reasons for wanting to treat Gary. "Nick told me that once Gary is dead, you will no longer have to fulfill your promises to him." Elliot was stunned by her bold idea. "Are you going to take this as an o

    Elliot handed Avery to a nurse before getting the nurse to send Avery back to her ward.Then, he went to contact the other neurologists."Mr. Foster, what happened to Miss Tate? What sickness does she have?" Aaron asked curiously."If you care so much for her, why didn't you ask her just now?" said Elliot."I don't care for her. I'm just asking," Aaron said casually. "Paul will be mad at you for letting her go.""Then, Paul can drag her back himself," Elliot said distractedly. "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"Aaron said, "He thinks you are. Although you are Gary's son-in-law, he is Gary's adopted son.""Then, why didn't Gary get Ruby to marry him?""Gary had thought of it, but then, you abandoned everything in Aryadelle and made your way here," said Aaron. Aaron was rather casual with Elliot when they were alone as Elliot did not have a huge ego. "I guess it's my fault," said Elliot, blaming himself. "He got me to see the primates in the zoo, and I was touched by the monkey'

    Jed said, "Once her surgery is done, we can go."Since he sounded so sure, the bodyguard was a little excited. "Are you for real?""I'm guessing. My intuition is usually quite accurate.""Can you predict how much money I'm going to get as a bonus once we get back?" Jed was speechless. He patted his pocket. "Do you still have cigarettes? Let's go have one.""Didn't Miss Tate ask us to send Gary's men away? Let's smoke later! Didn't you say you don't like smoking?" The bodyguard took out a box of cigarettes and passed it to Jed. He took out another box and smelled the cigarettes."It's boring here. Smoking kills time.""You're right. Not only does it kill time, but it perks you up too! However, it damages the body.""I thought so too in the past, but later, I thought it through. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Maybe, we will die in an accident?" …After Gary's checkup, he was sent to the inpatient unit.When Paul saw that Avery was not there, he was furious. Although Aar

    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
