Avery felt moved by his words.He had spent the past few days in silence, and she had thought that he would never open up to her ever again. She had not expected that he was worried about putting her in danger."I've talked to Angela and she said she's only interested in the award and promised that she won't come after us, so don't worry. No one has come looking for trouble since you come back." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Elliot, we don't have to worry about things that haven't happened yet...""Angela will marry Dean Jennings," he said."I know. Are you worried that Dean will come after us?" Avery looked up. "They will be getting married in half a month so at least for another two weeks, Dean will have no time to deal with us."The two chatted quietly as the nanny poured two bowls of soup and brought them to the dining room.Avery immediately took Elliot's hand and led him into the dining room."You've lost a lot of weight. I want you to recover." Avery sat him dow
She remained silent when she heard his answer. All her pretenses and strength she had summoned up collapsed when she realized that Elliot could not face the children or bring himself to go outside because he felt like he could die at any moment."You won't die." She found her courage again after a brief moment of silence. "Elliot, let's go take a nap! We will go to the hospital when we wake up."She was not asking. She had allowed him a few days to rest, and they could not delay the visit to the hospital any longer.Leah's parents arrived at Bridgedale after she had asked them to leave Aryadelle because Natalie was in Bridgedale.When Natalie was in a meeting, her assistant came to tell her that her aunt and uncle-in-law were here. She knew why they were here and did not see them right away, but instead, she returned to her office after a little over an hour."Natalie, your uncle and I went to Aryadelle to visit Leah, and she is severely injured. She's now in the hospital," Mrs. K
A sharp pain shot up her arm and she realized she was not hallucinating.Natalie did not want to face them and immediately turned around, deciding to queue up after they were gone. To her surprise, Avery suddenly turned around to talk to Elliot and spotted Natalie from the corner of her eyes.Elliot noticed that Avery was staring at someone and turned his head in the same direction.When he saw Natalie, her face felt unfamiliar to him.Natalie had thought that the two would come over to confront her, but they simply stared at her. Neither one of them did anything, and Avery only glared at her.Natalie ignored Avery's glare. She had Dean to protect her, so she had nothing to fear. After a few moments of hesitation, she strode toward them.Avery immediately grabbed Elliot's hand tightly when she saw Natalie approaching.Natalie was soon before them, and she stopped before Avery's bodyguard could stop her from going forward."What a coincidence to run into you two in a hospital."
The assistant replied. [If we can obtain Dream Maker, why bother with Tate Industries?][...] Natalie had not expected Dean to be this ambitious.[Natalie, I know that you are proud and have your own point of view, but speaking from experience, it's best that you just listen to your father. That's the only way you can be more successful.][I'm really curious about how much he is paying you each year to get you to be so obedient.][... You said you ran into Avery and Elliot in the hospital. Why were you at the hospital?][I've been hit.][... By who? Can we talk on the phone now?][My aunt. I've stopped considering her my aunt, though, from the moment she hit me.][I was wondering who had the guts to hit you. Are you free tonight? I will buy you dinner.]Natalie hesitated.Dean's assistant was a divorced man in his forties. he looked awfully greasy but had a brilliant way with his job so Dean trusted him.Natalie had enemies in all directions at the present. Avery and Elliot
The CT scan showed that there was a metal object inside his head.Avery's eyes glittered with disappointment. She had hoped that Angela was lying about bringing the dead back to life, but with the results of the CT scan, her last hope was destroyed."What's wrong?" Elliot studied her expression and asked, "Is it bad?"She shook her head. "No. The report just suggests that there's a foreign object in your brain. Let's go take some other tests. Once everything is done, your finalized report should be ready." She paused, before continuing, "Elliot, don't be too pessimistic. Professor Greens used to say that I'm better than Angela. If she can do this, I will soon understand her research.""I'm so worried that you would exhaust yourself.""I'm not tired. Not at all. I will only be tired if you aren't with me. Without you, eating, sleeping, and breathing all feel tiring. With you by my side now, I feel motivated." She wrapped her arms around his and grabbed his hand and squeezed them. "
"Sebastian, are you saying these things because you think I was wrong before? You think that I killed those women and children because of an inferiority complex?""Dad, what happened is in the past. I am only saying what I said out of hope that you will live a wonderful, loving life with Aunt Angela.""Hahaha! So long as she doesn't betray me, of course, I won't kill her. I called you here today to discuss the rest of your life, actually." The smile returned to Dean's face. "Sebastian, you are old enough now to start a family. I am looking forward to becoming a grandfather.""Why do you want grandchildren out of the blue, Dad?" Sebastian asked warily."Why won't I want that? Isn't it normal to want grandchildren? Do you intend on staying single forever? That's not going to work." Dean grabbed his fork to take a piece of broccoli. "Do you have someone you like?""No.""That's a lie." Dean glared at him. "You like Avery Tate, don't you? I can tell."Sebastian froze. "Dad, Avery an
[Avery, my dad wants us to get married. I'm guessing that he's going after Dream Maker. He probably thinks that if I marry you, he can get his hands on Dream Maker.][He said that he will implement this plan once he marries Angela. If you don't want to marry me, think of something soon because I can't disobey my dad!]Sebastian had sent over two messages, and Elliot saw both of them.Elliot stared at the screen for a few more moments, wondering if there would be more messages from Sebastian, but the screen went black and did not light up again.Shortly after, Avery came out of the shower."Help me get a phone," said Elliot while holding a book that she had purchased for him and leaning against the bedhead."Sure. Same brand as the one you had before? Do you want to use your old number or a new one?" Avery strolled toward the bed, all while studying his face.Elliot was asking for a phone, which meant that he wished to contact someone else apart from her and that was a good thing
"Why are you in my study?" Avery strode up to him.Mike had Elliot's bodycheck results in his hands and was reading through them with such attention that Avery knew he was reading Elliot's results and not his own. He would not read his own results with such intensity. "I'm reading the medical reports! You haven't told me anything...""He was there during dinner. Who would ask about someone's medical reports right in front of them like you did?" Avery snatched the reports away from him and placed them on the desk. "There was, indeed, a special device implanted in his brain. Apart from that, there is no abnormality in his physical condition. I don't fully understand the thing inside his brain, but everything else about him is normal.""Isn't that a good thing?" Mike seemed slightly surprised at the outcome. "Is Angela really that capable of miracles? That device literally brought the dead back to life.""What, "dead"? Mike, stop saying things like that in front of me!"This was th
