Avery shook her head. "I want to go out."

"Then, tell me if your leg hurts. Don't force it."

"I know."

"Avery, if I had known how many miserable things would happen to us when we came back to this country, I would not have allowed you to return." Mike helped her into the car. "When we were in Bridgedale, everything went smoothly. I never once worried about you. Who could have known that your return would bring me an endless amount of worry."

Avery was apologetic. "Why don't you return to Bridgedale!"

"That's not what I meant!"

"I know that. I think that I can handle work here. You should go back to Bridgedale—"

"Come back with me."

"I'm not going. I like my country better than I love Bridgedale."

Mike snorted. "Then, I'm not going either. I'll be where you are."

"You miss Chad, huh?"

"Why did you have to bring him up? He blocked my calls." Mike stepped on the gas. "That jerk! He only has his boss in his heart."

Avery said, "I'm sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing to me? Eve

    Avery was pregnant!According to the report, she had gotten pregnant the night Elliot had stabbed himself in the heart.It was ironic! They were already estranged, and here she was pregnant with his child. Avery had no words or emotions to express the shock she felt. It reminded her of the time she had been pregnant with Hayden and Layla. She was extremely heartbroken. Back then, Elliot was fighting for a divorce. Now, things were different. She was financially independent. She could raise the children herself. It did not matter if it was one, two, or three; she could raise them all. However, should she tell him about this matter? After all, back when Zoe had a miscarriage, he blamed it all on her, insisting that she give him a baby in return. Although they were no longer in contact, what if he tried to get in contact with her because she had not given him a child? Mike saw her panic through the corner of his eyes. He immediately closed the distance between them and glanced a

    In Avery, a small life was growing. However, she had not felt anything at all till that moment.When she had been pregnant with Layla and Hayden, her early pregnancy symptoms were rather obvious.At that thought, a new problem cropped up.She had been depressed while she was pregnant with the child, and she had also been on a lot of antibiotics because of her injuries.Avery furrowed her brows. She was so heartbroken she could not breathe!Even if she carried the child to term, the chances of the child being born with complications were rather high. The taxi stopped right in front of the hospital entrance.Avery paid and got out of the taxi.She registered with the gynecology department. After explaining her situation to the doctor, the doctor gave her an ultrasound request form. She took the form to the ultrasound room and waited.Forty minutes passed before it was her turn. Later, she left the hospital with the results in hand. As expected, she was pregnant! She was once

    When the guard saw Avery, he thought he must be hallucinating. She had had a terrible fight with Elliot! How dare she show up here?Previously, the guard would immediately let her in. Now, he did not open the gate for her. Using the internal phone line, the guard called the living room. Mrs. Cooper picked the phone up."Avery Tate is here. She's standing outside the gate," The guard said.Mrs. Cooper was stunned. "Oh, I'll go have a look." After hanging up, Mrs. Cooper strode outside to have a look.The skies, which had been clear, were now dark and cloudy. Mrs. Cooper did not let Avery in; she walked to the gate."Avery," Mrs. Cooper had a dark expression on her face. "Are you here to see Mr. Foster?" She knew that Avery was the one who had hurt Elliot, therefore she did not feel any pity for Avery. Elliot had almost lost his life this time. He would definitely not want to see Avery again.Avery nodded. "Is he home?""He is. After being discharged from the hospital, he ha

    If Elliot did not see her or think of her, he could eat, sleep, and live like a normal person.However, the moment he thought of her, his body would begin to react to her. A moment later, a knock came on his door. Elliot entered his room from the balcony.He opened the room door. Mrs. Cooper was standing outside."Sir, Avery came by just now. She said she was looking for you. I asked her as to her intentions for seeing you, but she did not tell me," Mrs. Cooper said. "She left.""I saw." Elliot's expression was calm. His tone was cold."Oh, the next time she comes, should I invite her in?" Mrs. Cooper asked."No," he muttered after a while. …When Avery returned home, she was completely drenched."Mommy, why are you so wet? Did you not bring an umbrella?" Layla said, heartbroken.Mike pushed her upstairs. "Quickly, go take a shower. You might catch a cold."Avery headed upstairs."Uncle Mike, why did you let Mommy come back alone?" Layla looked at Mike reproachfully.Ha

    Avery was still worried for the child in her womb. There was something that she had to do before the date of the examination came. She wanted to rectify the situation at hand. Not caring whether it was too late or not, she would do what she had to. It would at least give her some peace of mind. Avery put on a jacket and left with an umbrella.There was a pharmacy that was a three-minute walk away from the neighborhood. She bought a bottle of folic acid and placed it in her pocket. She was walking in the rain beneath the protection of the umbrella. Although the rain was heavy, she was not cold. It was spring. Spring was the time when all beings came to life. It was a season of hope. She hoped that the child in her womb was as healthy as Layla and Hayden. As long as the child was healthy, she would carry it to term. Elliot was no longer important. Walking without an umbrella under the rain that evening had helped her figure many things out.She and Elliot would never cross pa

    After tossing around for a while longer, Avery picked up her phone and looked at the time again.It was past midnight, and it was soon going to be one in the morning. She was completely wide awake. Almost by reflex, Avery pulled open the drawer of her nightstand and took out a bottle of melatonin. She unscrewed the bottle. Just as she was about to swallow the pill, she caught sight of the bottle of folic acid. She immediately threw the pill into the bin.She had to sleep. It was for the child in her womb.The next day at eight in the morning, after Avery had sent the children to kindergarten, she brought breakfast home.As she entered, Chad came out of Mike's room. He was swiftly buttoning his shirt while he walked. He had planned on leaving before Avery could find out about him. "Chad, I bought you breakfast," Avery said politely.Chad was speechless. Hearing Avery's voice, Mike came out of his room."Avery, uh…" Mike blushed a little, trying to explain himself.Avery ca

    His office door flung open. When Ben saw him coughing violently, he immediately walked over and gave him a cup of water."Don't come to work if you have not fully recovered! You never listen to the doctor."Elliot placed the cup down on the table and strode over to the washroom. Ben wanted to follow him, but he saw what was playing on Elliot's computer screen from the corner of his eyes."Eric, everyone is curious as to why you chose to collaborate with Tate Industries? Was it because they offered you a good deal?" The reporter chuckled.Eric looked at Avery and smiled. Just when he was about to answer, Avery said, "No. Eric told us that as he had been out of the industry for three years, we would only pay him the amount we would pay a newcomer." There was an uproar below the stage. Miss Tate, how do you know Eric? Are you two close? I see that you are both wearing cream sweaters…" The reporter sounded like a gossipmonger. Avery blushed a little."It's just a coincidence," Eri

    "Avery has some tricks up her sleeves!" Wanda said coldly.Although Eric was not currently the hottest celebrity, he had been one! His comeback swayed the entire entertainment industry!Wanda did not understand why Eric wanted to help Avery. Previously, he had tweeted for Tate Industries, rescuing them once.This time, he actually wrote a song for them! How absurd! Wanda called Zoe. The call was soon answered."Zoe, do you know why Eric Santos is helping Avery? Are they secretly together?"Zoe was also watching the live stream. She was also in a bad mood.Eric was not only talented, but he was also very good-looking. Women would find it hard to resist his seduction."He already told us the answer just now on the live stream," Zoe said frigidly. "He said that he knew Avery when he was sick."Wanda did not understand what Zoe meant. "What's so strange about that?""He had been comatose! He would not have been conscious! Even if Avery had stood in front of him everyday, he woul

    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
