She should have arrived in Bridgedale by now.Why was her phone still not working?Had she turned it off, or had she blocked him?"Mom..." Layla burned in a daze on the stretcher, muttering in a low voice, "Mom …brother...don't go...don't leave me..."Elliot looked at his daughter's little face whispering words in pain and tightened his fingers holding the phone.Why was Avery so cruel?Being cruel to him was enough; how could she be so cruel to the child?Did she plan to cut the child off?She had suddenly become so unfamiliar to him!He couldn't help but wonder, did he really make a big mistake?He redialed Avery's number and got the same response as just now.It seemed that she didn't plan to contact them again.Layla was pushed out of the ambulance when it arrived at the hospital and had her temperature taken.At home, the temperature taken by Mrs. Cooper did not exceed 38.5 degrees, but now, Layla's temperature had exceeded 40 degrees!The doctor immediately prescrib

After Layla finished her medicine, the doctor prescribed her some medicine to take when she went back home.When they got home, it was 4:40 in the morning.The villa door was open, and the lights in the living room were bright as day.After Mrs. Cooper coaxed Robert to sleep, she waited in the living room.Seeing Elliot come back with Layla in his arms, Mrs. Cooper immediately greeted him."Layla's fever has subsided. I need to wipe her body and change her clothes." Elliot hugged Layla and went back to the room.Mrs. Cooper responded, "Sir, go back to your room to rest! I'll take care of Layla. Otherwise, when Layla wakes up and sees you, she might cry again."Elliot looked at his daughter's pale and haggard sleeping face and murmured in a hoarse voice, "Should I give up Layla's custody?""You love Layla very much, and if Layla lives by your side, you will treat her very well. She's not used to it now; you just need some patience. Though, it will take some time for her to adjus

Mike read the text message he sent several times but didn't understand what he meant.Did he want to give Layla's custody to Avery, or does he want Avery to go back and live with him again?He was somewhat ambiguous in his wordings.Mike lay down on his bed, holding Avery's mobile phone. After hesitating, he texted him back: [Are you willing to give me Layla's custody?]After the message was sent, Mike kept an eye on his phone, waiting for a reply.If Elliot was willing to give Layla's custody to Avery, Mike promised not to hold grudges against Elliot in the future.About ten minutes later, Elliot's messages came back: [Your daughter is ill, I don't think you care about her current situation at all, you only care about her custody.]Seeing this reply, Mike was so angry that blood rushed to his head, and his fingers quickly typed on the screen: [Whose fault is it that Layla is being sick? It's you! You didn't take good care of her, and you dare to accuse me?]After typing this s

Layla took his cell phone, turned it on, and saw their exchange."Layla, your mother just refuses to talk to me now, even if I wanted to tell her about you."When Elliot said these words, Layla dialed Avery's number.Unsurprisingly, a system prompt sounded. "Mom doesn't answer your call, but she will definitely answer mine!" Layla returned his mobile phone to him, then found her own and dialed Avery.The same system prompt sounded.Layla burst into tears.Elliot took her into his arms: "Layla, don't cry. Dad will take good care of you and your brother. Dad will work harder to be a good dad."Layla instinctively wanted to push him away, but she knew clearly that she had no one to rely on except her father.So she didn't push him away.The summer vacation had not yet started, but she returned to school after a day off at home to take her mind off the matter.As for Robert, the departure of Avery and Hayden did not have much impact on his life.He was happy as long as someone

Wesley looked at his face, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "She asked me to take care of Shea.""Did she say anything else? Did she say anything about me?""No." Wesley's answer took all hope away from Elliot. After Elliot left, Shea looked at Wesley."You're not treating my brother very well." Shea told him her feelings.Wesley was usually very polite towards everyone, but he was rather cold towards Elliot.Wesley didn't deny. "It's his own fault. If he hadn't hurt the relationship between him and Avery, Avery would not have divorced with him. His relationship with Holly was a disaster, and now he wants to make amends with Avery. It's just too late."Shea said, "My brother made a mistake, and Avery would be right to put the blame on him. I don't think you're allowed to talk to him like that though. He is the person who treats me the best… He's one of them, at least."Wesley relented. "All right, I'll be more careful with my temper the next time."In Bridgedale, Avery

She was volunteering to give up 30% of the shares of Tate Industries.Mike was also volunteering to give up 15% of the shares of Tate Industries.Elliot was given permission to do anything to the shares as he pleased.Elliot signed the document immediately."Aren't you going to call her to check the authenticity of the document?" Sean didn't expect Elliot to sign the document that quickly."She's not picking up my calls." Eliot put down his pen. "Was there anything else she wanted you to tell me?"Sean shook his head. "Nothing else.""Did she tell you via a telephone call, or was it Mike who told you?" Elliot looked at Sean. "Ever since I got divorced from her, I have never managed to call her.""She called me," Sean said awkwardly."Apparently she just doesn't want to talk to me. That's understandable. There's no reason to remain in contact since we are already divorced." Elliot laughed. "She's not just quitting from the company, she's also giving up on her kids."Sean was s

Why was Mike staying at the hospital?Was someone ill?Chad took a screenshot of his phone and sent it to Mike with a series of question marks.About half an hour later, Mike turned off his GPS and called Chad."I was sleeping just now! The do not disturb settings were on." Mike said and yawned."You're at the hospital, aren't you? Is there someone ill? You're not sick, are you?" Chad asked, "Is Avery sick?"Mike sneered, "Didn't Eliot tell you anything?""What do you mean? What would my boss tell me?" Chad was dumbfounded."Well, I suppose he doesn't want anyone knowing these shameful deeds of his." Mike snorted. "Does it even matter if Avery falls sick? Or if I fall sick? Is he going to visit us? Are you going to visit us? No! None of you are going to do that! So why ask?"Chad was speechless."Avery has already given up everything in Aryadelle, just leave us alone!" Mike said, "It's already late, I'm going to sleep.""Okay… Go to sleep then! But could you turn on your GPS

She was really angry.She was just a child though, so she didn't stay angry for very long, and she accepted the call."Why are you video calling me?" Layla asked Hayden angrily. "I thought you were trying to ignore me! Why don't you just ignore me for the rest of your life?"Hayden tried to explain to Layla, "I just transferred here, and I'm rather busy. And mom…""What about mom? She doesn't want me, does she? She doesn't accept my phone calls either! I'm so angry at the both of you!" Layla was making quite a commotion, which was heard by Elliot.Elliot was taking Layla and Robert out shopping today.Before the summer holidays, Layla's school organized a party.Elliot had brought Layla out to buy some new clothes and gifts for her friends.Hayden swallowed his words when he saw Elliot appear in the video call."That's not true. I did tell you that I would call you when I had some free time." Hayden didn't want to explain any further. "Go shopping with your dad."Hayden hung

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
