Avery arrived home about half an hour later.

She rushed into the house and charged toward Elliot without even changing into her house slippers.

"Where's Hayden? Why are you here alone?"

Elliot was about to speak, but Avery interrupted him when she noticed his disheveled clothes.

"What happened to your clothes?"

Elliot's shirt was completely wrinkled. She followed the wrinkled lines to his back and saw a piece of his shirt that had been ripped off.

She saw the bloody bite mark under the ripped fabric.

The bleeding had stopped, but she could imagine how painful it must have been.

Avery faced them, then asked, "Did Hayden bite you?"

"I brought it onto myself," Elliot said nonchalantly. "He's in his room."

"I see. I'll go take a look. Wait here for me," Avery said, then walked up the stairs.

Mike sauntered behind Elliot, took a good look at his wound, then sighed and said, "Big H really did you in! You look like you were bitten by a dog!"

Elliot turned around and stared grimly

    Avery finished tending to Elliot's wound, then said coldly, "Put your clothes on."Elliot put on the t-shirt she gave him, then looked up at her and asked, "Can I ask my question now?""What is it?" Avery's expression and tone were icy. "Hayden doesn't like you. Don't touch him again. If something like this ever happens again, just give me a call."Elliot's mind went blank.He really did bring all of this onto himself.He picked up his torn shirt, stood up, and prepared to leave.Avery suddenly felt anxious.She took an involuntary step forward as she said, "What did you want to ask me?"Elliot turned to look at her, then said, "Do you think Shea needs to continue her treatment? I'm worried it would end up taking a toll on her health if we keep going.""Isn't Zoe Sanford Shea's doctor?" The moment Avery mentioned Zoe's name, her reason began to crumble. "Since you went to her and even paid her an exorbitant medical fee, you should just listen to her advice."Elliot did not ex

    The next day, someone rang the doorbell of Starry River Villa at seven in the morning.Avery walked out of her bedroom in her pajamas and made her way to the front door.When she saw Tammy through the front door's camera, she opened the door.After Tammy married Jun, she had gone abroad for her honeymoon.She had told Avery before that she would take a month-long holiday abroad."Why is she back only after two weeks?" thought Avery. "How are you feeling, Avery?" Tammy asked as she entered the house with bags of souvenirs."I'm fine. I already started going back to work," Avery said. "Why are you back so soon?"Tammy pulled a long face and said, "I didn't have fun at all! We were supposed to spend our honeymoon relaxing, but Jun gets over twenty calls from work every day. Honestly, I feel like getting a divorce."Avery poured her a drink, then said, "Don't be reckless. He just took over his family's business. Give him some time.""Hmph, it's not like I'm not giving him time.

    "Then let's see the doctor who did the surgery!" said the bodyguard."Do you remember the doctor's name?" asked the hospital director."How would I know?! She was wearing a surgical cap and mask. I didn't even get a good look at her face!""How about I ask all of the doctors in the maternity unit and see if any of them remember Miss Tate?"Elliot left the room.He already had his answer.Avery had not gone through with the abortion five years ago.Hayden Tate was his son.Even so, what could he do after knowing the truth?Hayden would never forgive Elliot for hurting him.Avery had never planned to tell him about the children, so there was no way she would speak for him.Elliot did not blame Avery.It was all his own fault!Five years ago, he had said that he would strangle their child with his bare hands if Avery ever got pregnant.Sure enough, he had almost strangled his own son to death five years later.Elliot's bloodshot eyes glistened with tears.He got into the c

    Layla let out a horrified scream!Tammy picked her up and rushed into the house."Don't be scared, Layla! I'm calling the ambulance right away!"She placed Layla on the couch, then pulled out her phone from her bag and called 911.Layla was wailing uncontrollably."Is my daddy dead?" she sobbed. "He still doesn't know that I'm his daughter!"Tammy held the hysterical Layla in one arm and held her phone with her other hand.Once the call went through, she gave the operator the address and hung up."Wait here in the house, Layla. I'll go take a look," Tammy said and quickly ran out the door.…Avery received a call from the associate dean at Central University that morning and brought Hayden to the campus.Yesterday, Hayden won the National Youth Programming Championships.He was not the youngest participant in the competition, but he was the youngest one to enter the finals.What was even more unexpected was that he was the champion."Hayden might have skipped the conventi

    How dangerous might it have been if Tammy had not been there when Elliot had passed out in front of Avery's gate.That evening, after much consideration, Avery decided to stop by Elliot's mansion."I'll drive you there," Mike said as he walked out of the house with her.Avery shook her head and said, "I'm going to see Shea. I'll be back soon.""Drop the act! If you're really going there for Shea, all you have to do is call her and ask her to meet you. She has a phone now, after all."Avery did not want to waste her time talking to him as he had mercilessly blown her cover."You don't need to drive me. I'll go there myself.""You're insane! You're pregnant right now! How could I let you drive alone this late at night? Elliot would kill me if anything happened to you!" Mike argued. "How about this? I'll drive you there, but I won't go into the house with you."Avery opened the door to the driver's seat of her car, got in, then closed the door.She rolled down the window, then sa

    Avery saw Mrs. Cooper let out a sigh of relief.She was happy that Zoe had come to check on Shea."Is Master Elliot awake? Did he say when he was coming home?" Mrs. Cooper asked the bodyguard as she walked toward him.Before the bodyguard could answer, Zoe walked in with a first aid kit in her hand."Did Master Elliot call for you to come by, Miss Sanford?"Zoe nodded and said, "He'll be back soon. How's Shea doing right now?"She walked to the bottom of the stairs, then froze in her tracks.Avery stood on the second floor. Their eyes met.Zoe quickly took control of the situation.She shot a look at Mrs. Cooper, then asked coldly, "Who called Avery Tate?""Avery just happened to come by to meet Shea about something," answered Mrs. Cooper awkwardly."I see… I thought someone invited her over!" sneered Zoe.She walked up the stairs, then stood in front of Avery and said, "Didn't you break up with Elliot ages ago, Avery? I heard you were the one who dumped him. You're always

    Avery did not respond to Mrs. Cooper.She should not have come here.She should have listened to Mike.Shea had her own phone. If Avery wanted to thank her, all she had to do was give her a call and ask to meet her.Once Avery arrived on the ground floor, she walked over to the couch and picked up her bag.At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce came to a halt in the front yard.Elliot was home.Avery was mortified.If she had come down a minute earlier, she would not have run into him.She was upset enough as it was and wanted to be alone to release her frustrations."Master Elliot's home, Avery!" Mrs. Cooper said."So what if he was home?" she thought. Avery lowered her gaze and walked toward the front door with her bag.Elliot had already noticed the Land Rover parked in the front yard.He did not expect Avery to come here.As he got out of the car, his deep-set eyes watched her as she walked out of the house.Elliot walked over to Avery's car and waited for her there.

    "Let's go inside, Master Elliot!"Mrs. Cooper walked up to Elliot after waiting for a moment.She did not know what he and Avery had talked about, but she knew that he never wanted Avery to suffer. After all, she was now pregnant with his child.Zoe had gone too far tonight, but it was understandable.If she had not suffered a miscarriage, her baby would have been born by now.Elliot clenched his fists tightly and walked into the living room.Zoe was sipping a cup of tea on the couch.She placed her cup down when she saw him walk in."Elliot, I gave Shea a sedative. She hasn't slept for twenty-four hours, so she will need a nice, long rest," she said as she looked at Elliot. "She'll need to go to the hospital for a cranial checkup tomorrow."Elliot responded curtly."I hear you passed out today. Are you alright?" Zoe asked with a thoughtful expression on her face. "You have to prioritize your health no matter what. Not only for yourself, but for Shea's sake, too. She hasn't

    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
