Chapter 1435

Author: Simple Silence
Layla was not a clueless child. She had always been very aware of her public image. It proved that the telephone call had greatly upset her.

All this while, Layla had seen Elliot as belonging to her, and when Ruby had told her that she and Elliot were having a baby, Layla realized that Elliot would no longer belong to her alone. She felt as though her favorite toy was being taken away from her. No child would not grow upset when such a thing happened.

After the shower, Avery and Layla walked out of the children's room.

Robert had finished his bath as well and was having his milk.

"Avery, go shower! I will play with Robert for a bit after he finishes his milk before putting him to bed," Mrs. Cooper said.

"Sure."

Avery patted Robert on the head and returned to her room. After closing the door behind her, she took out her phone and located Elliot's number.

She wanted to call him, but she thought that it would be rather awkward if Ruby were to answer the call, again.

    She wanted to head to the airport right away and get on the first flight leaving for Ylore, but she stopped herself from acting on such thoughts.She had to talk to her daughter first, or Layla would be devastated.The past Avery would have dropped everything and run to Ylore, but she could not do that anymore. All the things she had gone through these past few months had made her realize that she could not act on feelings. She could not neglect others and the same applied to her children and Elliot. The next morning, Avery got up early and went to wake Layla up."Layla, your dad is hurt so I need to see him," she said while sitting by the bed. "This time, I'm going to bring him back."Layla blinked dazedly, unable to react. "Oh...""My plane leaves later, so I will be leaving for the airport once I see you to school," said Avery. "Uncle Mike will stay here once I leave. You can tell him or Uncle Eric if anything happens—""What?! Mommy, you are leaving?" said Layla, complete

    She placed the biscuits into Robert's hands, and finally, his sobbing ceased.Mrs. Cooper returned to the living room, and Avery passed Robert to her."Go now, Avery! Come back soon.""Yeah." Avery planted a kiss on Robert's forehead and walked out of the mansion.Avery stepped out of the airport in Ylore. The country seemed both strange and familiar at the same time. She felt like a completely different person from the one who had come before. "Miss Tate, let's check into the hotel first!" said the bodyguard while carrying her luggage."Let's go to the hospital first. Nick said that Elliot is probably injured, but he wasn't sure. I need to see him with my own eyes." The thought of Elliot being severely injured had kept her up the entire time she was on the flight."Miss Tate, you look horrible. Whether or not he is injured, you are going to end up in the hospital yourself if you don't get some sleep soon.""Why does everyone around me enjoy telling me bad things will befall m

    "I think he is injured, but I don't know much about it. The vice president was the one who looked after him, and the entire thing is confidential." The doctor leaned toward her and whispered, "Things in the Gould family have changed, so you should be careful.""I can't just ignore the fact that Elliot is hurt." Avery stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me this. I will visit you again.""Can't you just leave it alone? You just have to get yourself into trouble." The doctor sighed again. "I've never seen anyone as fearless as you are.""Relax. I won't die."With that, she went to look for vice president Miller, but unfortunately, he was not on duty today.She did not feel like sleeping so she did not want to return to the hotel. Instead, she called Nick and went over to his place.When he heard her voice, Nick sounded as shocked as the doctor had been. When the two met, Nick stared at her as though she was a creature from outer space. Slightly annoyed, he said, "I told you

    Avery scowled when Nick spoke about Ruby's pregnancy. "Nick, do you know whose child she is pregnant with? Is it Elliot's?""How would I know? It's not like I set up cameras around their bed!" Nick walked outside and said, "Why don't you just ask Elliot that when you see him?""He told me that Ruby had gone to the sperm bank and made her choice there.""So why are you still asking if the baby is Elliot's?""Ruby told us that the baby is Elliot's when she had taken his call, and she did not sound like she was lying. My daughter was so angry that she burst into tears." Avery followed Nick into the car.Nick did not think much of it. "Once she gives birth, we will know if it's Elliot's.""I don't think that Elliot would lie to me, but I also don't see the point of Ruby creating such a poor lie. We won't even need her to give birth to find out who the father is," Avery said and Nick froze."How soon can we check?""Amniocentesis can be performed when the mother is three months preg

    Nick looked away from Elliot and scowled as he asked, "Did the doctor say when he is going to wake up?""No." Ruby seemed reluctant to talk about Elliot's condition."He must be severely injured, then, if the doctors can't predict when he will regain consciousness."Ruby did not respond to the question and said, "The doctors said his life is not at risk.""Have you considered taking him to another country for better treatment?""Of course, I have! The doctors told me he is not fit for travel." "Oh... What about bringing better doctors in?""The doctors said that his condition is not as severe as to require me to fly in medical experts," snapped Ruby, beginning to lose her patience. "I thought that you have something to tell me? If that's just an excuse to see Elliot, you have seen him, so—" Suddenly, they heard a loud scuffle, coming from outside the room. "Elliot!" Avery shouted at the top of her lungs.Ruby heard her voice and instantly felt chills running down her spine

    Nick was stunned and so was Ruby.The Gould family's bodyguards charged at Avery when they saw her strike Ruby, but Nick stopped them. "That's between them women! You guys need to stay out of it! Go guard the elevator. Don't let anyone unrelated come in!" he said as he dragged the bodyguards out.He closed the door behind him, leaving Ruby, Avery, and Elliot alone in the room."You hit me?!" Ruby covered her cheek. Her eyes were red with rage and disbelief."How could you let this happen to him, Ruby?! How dare you answer his call and use it to antagonize me while hiding his condition! What were you thinking?! What if he dies? Do you plan on keeping his body and filling my head with lies about how much you love each other?!"Ruby lowered her hands, balling them into fists. "He isn't dead! The doctors said that he is going to recover! He just needs some time!""Who did this to him? Paul?!" Hatred filled Avery's eyes. "How dare he torture Elliot? Ruby Gould! What were you doing?

    "She doesn't look like she is lying," Nick thought. "So, is it true? If it is, this is about to get really interesting."Nick knew that he was supposed to enjoy the show, but his head began to hurt. If Elliot and Avery had confined their fight to Aryadelle, he would not have gotten involved. However, it was becoming apparent to him that they would continue their fight in Ylore, and that would not only concern him but everyone else too. Avery treated him like she would her own brother, and although that had irritated him before, he had grown used to it and was no longer irritated by it. "If you have a child that you can hold over Elliot as leverage, why are you scared of Avery? Just let her stay until Elliot recovers!"Ruby struggled to suppress her anger. "Now that you've said it, it's not like I can kill her or something.""Elliot won't forgive you if you kill her. Don't think that you won't be held responsible no matter what you do simply because you are pregnant with his chil

    They fought over this. Downstairs, the nanny was preparing Tammy's medicine. The doctor had told her to take it three times a day. Tammy had taken it for two days, and this was her third day on the medicine. She had not gone home for lunch, and no one knew when she would be back. Jun stood on the balcony, getting some fresh air. He called her. It took a while for her to answer the call."Jun, I am kind of busy right now... I'm going to be home late. You can have dinner first. Don't wait up for me."Tammy's words lit a fire in him. "I thought we are trying for a baby? Are you not taking your medicine? You skipped it this afternoon."Though he was furious, he did not dare raise his voice. Ever since the kidnapping incident, he had not allowed himself to lose his temper in front of her."I intended to go back and take the medicine this afternoon, but you told me to stay at the company and rest there, as it was not safe for me to drive while I was tired… You said that it's oka

    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
