"Why's her phone off?" Avery mumbled softly to herself, then walked out of the house.

"Are you going out, Avery?" When the nanny saw her on the move, she quickly followed her.

"Tammy said she was coming over but she's still not here yet. Even if there's traffic, she should be here by now." Avery walked past the front gates and looked around.

The nanny comforted her and said, "Maybe she's gone to buy presents! She always brings all kinds of presents when she comes over."

The nanny's consoling words made Avery relax slightly.

"It's windy out here, Avery. Let's get back inside!" The nanny was worried that Avery would catch a cold. "Mr. Foster especially asked me to take good care of you and not let you get sick."

"I stay at home every day now. I'm like a flower in a greenhouse. I'd get sick easier that way."

"You still shouldn't be out here in this wind!" The nanny helped Avery back into the house. "It's easy to get sick when the seasons change."

"Is lunch ready?" Avery asked.

    "It's really good. It's not too sweet, so I can have more," said Avery as she took another bite. "You are getting better and better as the days go by. What else did you learn?" "I want to learn to drive, but Big Brother won't let me." Shea's brows furrowed as she said, "Could you help me ask Big Brother, Avery?"Avery lifted her gaze and turned to Wesley."Is this why you two came over today?"Wesley shook his head and said, "Shea came to give you the cake. I don't want her learning how to drive either." Avery turned to Shea and asked, "Why do you want to learn to drive, Shea? Aren't you scared? It might be dangerous.""All of you know how to drive, so I want to learn too. It won't be dangerous as long as I don't drive anywhere with too many people around." Shea gazed at Avery with her wide, pleading eyes.At that moment, Avery's phone rang.She picked it up and saw that it was Elliot calling.She showed her phone screen to Shea, then said, "I'll talk to him about it, but th

    Tammy was missing!She disappeared after leaving the house at eleven that morning.Jun was checking the surveillance cameras over at the traffic control department.The cameras showed Tammy entering a mall in the city center. She could be seen parking her car and entering the mall, but she could not be seen exiting the mall. This meant that something happened while she was in the mall.The mall had countless surveillance cameras, but there were also a lot of blind spots.Jun left the traffic control department and rushed to the mall's control room.When he got Avery's phone call, he took a deep breath, then answered it."Tammy's car is still in the mall's parking lot. She went missing while she was in the mall.""How could she just vanish like that?!" Avery inhaled sharply.She wanted to ask Jun whether Tammy had been abducted, but she was too afraid to give voice to her question. Jun felt a lump in his throat."She must have been kidnapped! Back when I was hiring bodygua

    Chelsea was vicious and savage. Anyone who fell into her hands would not end up well."... I'll tell Chad to get Ben to go find Chelsea Tierney!" There was no way Mike was letting Avery go see Chelsea. "She wants nothing but for something bad to happen to you. Wouldn't going to her now be looking for trouble for yourself?"Mike's voice echoed through the entire villa.The expressions on Hayden and Layla's faces turned sullen."Don't go out, Mommy," Hayden said in a low voice"Listen to Uncle Mike and Hayden, Mommy. Stay at home like a good girl!" Layla begged softly as she held her mother's hand.The appearance of her children returned reason to Avery."I won't go out." She gave in and stood from the couch. "I'm going to take a shower."She was so anxious that she felt like her heart was on fire.She wanted to do something, but her entire body felt heavy.When she was anxious to leave the house earlier, the baby kept kicking her as if he knew something was happening.Avery r

    The only reply she received was silence.The person who kidnapped Tammy seemed to want nothing from Avery. If they wanted something, they would not have kept silent.Avery looked at the excited and restless men in the video. They were like a pack of wolves rushing toward Tammy. Avery's head felt numb. Her blood was boiling. Her body trembled uncontrollably.A sense of desperation, verging on despair, overwhelmed her. It was as if someone was stabbing her over and over again with a blunt knife.Mike heard her hysterical shrieks and quickly ran into her room. He saw Avery bent forward, holding onto the door of the bathroom."Avery! Are you alright?" Mike ran over to help her. Seeing how blue her face was, a feeling of dread instantly arose in him. "Are you going into labor? I'll send you to the hospital."Mike wanted to lift her up, but Avery's body tensed at the contact. She spat a few words out with difficulty: "Call an ambulance…""Avery, don't frighten me! Stand there, don't m

    "They went to bed, but Hayden is not asleep yet," Chad said. "I was afraid that I would disturb him, so I didn't talk to him.""Oh, Hayden is quite mature. He understands a lot. He surely won't be able to sleep." Mike was standing outside the emergency room at that moment. His mind was a mess. "Avery's mood has affected the child. She might go into labor tonight.""Wouldn't that be a premature delivery?" Chad furrowed his brows. "Will the child be alright?""I'm not worried about that. I'm only worried about Avery. You didn't see how terrible she looked, and yet all she was worried about was Tammy…" Mike was pacing back and forth in the corridor. "Give Ben a call. See how he is getting on with Chelsea."If Tammy could not be rescued, even if Avery gave birth to a healthy child, she would be able to think about anything else but Tammy. "I'm guessing nothing has happened." Chad knew Chelsea well. "If Chelsea is the one who's done this unless we place the evidence in front of her, s

    "You guessed right. As long as there is no evidence, she will never admit to it," Mike said dryly."After all, nothing good can come out of admitting to it." Chad looked at the time. "Why don't you go and rest a bit?""Do you think I can fall asleep?" Mike glanced at the ward. "Once she is up, if Tammy is still not found, she will definitely lose it. The doctor has said that she can't be too agitated right now. If not, she will go into premature labor. She has already bled.""Bled?" Chad was stunned."Yes, bled. The doctor said that this is a sign of premature labor." Mike crossed his hands on his waist. "When is Elliot coming back?""He'll reach by seven tomorrow morning," Chad said. "I hope Avery sleeps until then.""So what if she sleeps until the next morning? The main point is Tammy is missing. What if the people who kidnapped her had done something to her? The consequences are unimaginable. Think of Zoe. Then think of Nora. They were Chelsea's doing." Mike gritted his teeth

    Mike had long guessed that Avery would ask this question once she was up.They might need to sedate her again, otherwise, she would not get the rest she needed. "I haven't heard any news yet, but don't worry. The police are searching for her. She will definitely be found by the morning." Mike assured her.When Avery heard that they had not gotten any news on Tammy, she staggered. She was swaying soullessly from side to side. "Avery, go to bed and lie down. What happens if you go into premature labor?" Mike lifted her up and placed her in bed. "Your child is only eight months old. If you were to give birth to it now, although it might survive, it still has to be placed in an incubator. You're a doctor. You should know that premature children get sick easily. Do you want to see your child suffer?"Mike's words caused her body to stiffen. She wanted to go look for Tammy, but she had to care for the child in her womb too. She tried to control her emotions, but no matter how hard she

    "Go get the doctor!" Elliot barked and carried Avery into her ward. He carefully placed her on the bed.Avery's pants were wet. Elliot looked at his palms... Thankfully it was not blood!"Is the amniotic fluid leaking?" Avery sobbed terribly. "Elliot, I'm sorry. I'm very sad. I can't control myself…"If her amniotic fluid had leaked, the baby had to be delivered immediately. Avery's baby in her belly was only eight months old. That would mean Avery would go into premature labor and premature labor came with a series of complications.She knew that she should not be too upset in her later stage of pregnancy. She should have managed her emotions better to ensure the child's health, but she could not control herself."Don't cry. The amniotic fluid leaking is not something too serious. You'll just have to give birth to the child. It's nothing bad." Elliot wiped her tears with some tissues. "Tammy has been located. She's not in danger. Once you're done with this, I'll take you to see h

    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
