Avery took a sip of soup. It was delicious.

Shea was the one who made it, and that meant more to Avery than how the soup tasted.

Avery had been the one to operate on Shea, and she had never expected Shea to make such an extensive recovery.

"The fish chowder is pretty good, Elliot. You should give it a try," Avery said.

Elliot walked over to the table and poured himself a bowl of soup.

He took a sip. The chowder was light and not oily. It indeed tasted good.

His eyes landed on Shea.

She had improved significantly since spending time with Wesley.

Perhaps he should let her try out the things she wanted to do, including learning to drive.

Meanwhile, at Starry River Villa, Mike had taken a few days off work.

He could not get rid of Avery's pain from childbirth, but he could look after the house for her.

During the day, while the kids were at school, he worked at home.

Chad came over for lunch at noon.

"Let's go see Avery at the hospital after we eat!" he suggested.

"Sure. El

    Chelsea suffered a huge blow.She could not accept this."Did I actually lose my head for a wackjob? I'll be the laughing stock of the world if this got out!" thought Chelsea.She would look crazier than a person suffering from a mental illness!"Even so, he's not the kind of nut case you find in mental hospitals!" Chelsea forcibly defended Elliot. "His illness didn't stop him from becoming the richest man! It also didn't stop him from having a child! So what if he's sick in the head?!"Charlie chuckled coldly at his sister's faraway look, then said, "Call me the next time he picks on you, Chelsea. It's not a crime when someone with a mental disability commits murder. Even if you end up dying by his hands, you had it coming!""You say such horrible things!""It's hard to accept the truth!" Charlie adjusted his collar, then said lightly, "Haven't you ever wondered why this mental illness of his is not public knowledge? If he didn't care, then why can't you find anything about thi

    "That's between them, so I'm not too sure," Ben said. "If they do get married, I bet they'll host a grand wedding. You'll all find out about it then.""Avery Tate really hit the jackpot in life! She gave our boss a child, and it's a son, too!" someone said enviously."Exactly! I bet the boss will help her out if Tate Industries ever gets in trouble in the future."Ben said, "Your boss might be rich and handsome, but Avery isn't a powerless woman who would use her children to earn respect. Do you really think your boss would fall in love with an average woman? Stop watching too many soap operas.""Huh? Isn't the boss only with Avery Tate because she got pregnant?""What are you thinking?! How could a mere child tie him down? There are plenty of women in the world. If he only wanted a child, he could've picked any woman to have a child with."Ben's words enlightened everyone.Simply put, a woman who was able to stay by Elliot Foster's side was definitely not a gullible idiot.Eve

    Avery suddenly did not have the courage to enter the room.She did not know how to face Tammy.Tammy might have been afraid of giving birth, but it had taken her a long time and a lot of thought to finally decide that she wanted children. In the end, she had been rendered infertile. Fate had dealt her a gigantic blow!It must also have been a massive blow to Jun!"This has nothing to do with you, Avery. Aunt Mary doesn't blame you, and neither will Tammy," Elliot said softly as he reached out to wipe Avery's tears off her face. "Go on in and talk to her.""I don't know what to say… Elliot, I don't know how to talk to her…" Avery sobbed. "I can't face her like this."At that moment, the patient's room door suddenly burst open.When Mary saw the two of them standing at the door, she said in surprise, "When did you two get here? Did you already get discharged from the hospital so soon, Avery?"Avery quickly composed herself, then said, "Yes, I've been discharged. That's why I ca

    "Avery, we might not be able to meet all the time, but I'll still come see you when I have the time," Tammy said."Okay. I'll wait for you.""Go home and get some rest! You look worse than I do," Tammy said. She attempted to get out of bed so that she could see Avery out."Lie down and rest. I'll leave now," Avery said as she held her down. "Let me know when you leave the hospital.""I will."As Avery walked out of the hospital, her thoughts were a chaotic mess. Her head was spinning, and she could not calm down.Things seemed to be getting better, but her heart felt heavy.Perhaps it was because she could no longer return to the past, and the future was filled with uncertainty."Get some rest when you get home, Avery. You don't look too good." Elliot gazed at Avery's cool face and worried that she might get postpartum depression. "While you were talking to Tammy in the room, Aunt Mary told me that while this might have been a tragic experience for Tammy, it made her mature ver

    "Why do you think it's called the darknet? It's filled with all kinds of criminal activity… I don't think you have the mental fortitude for it!" Mike teased.Chad had decent mental fortitude, unlike what Mike claimed. After all, he was Elliot Foster's right-hand man. He had been through thick and thin with Elliot frightening him was a difficult thing to do. "You'll know what I mean when you see it."The two of them entered the room, and Chad sat Mike down in front of the computer.Mike glanced at the information on the monitor… Sweat dripped down his back when he saw the picture on the screen.It was a photo of Laura Jensen.Laura was Avery's biological mother. 'She's dead! What is her photo doing on the darknet website?' thought Elliot. 'Could it be…'Mike's hand tightened around his mouse as his pale blue eyes turned cold.He finished reading the information on the screen and gritted his teeth."It's scary, right?

    Avery could not help but reach out and touch Elliot's face.She was shocked by the coldness of his skin.The thermostat in the house kept the house at a constant temperature, but since the days had gotten colder, it was necessary to use a blanket at night. Avery covered Elliot with the blanket that was on her and inched closer to him.He had some wine before bed, and his scent was intoxicating.While Avery was half asleep, she suddenly heard Elliot's hoarse voice."Avery… I'll be a good dad… I will…"His voice was low. He was talking in his sleep.Avery opened her eyes and looked directly at his face.She could not clearly see his features in the dark, but she could see that his eyes were shut.He was sleeptalking. He was promising her in his dream that he would be a good father.Elliot was sleeptalking, but Avery was still moved to tears.One's thoughts during the day would turn into dreams at night. He was only having a dream like this because he remembered her words.S

    Elliot held Avery in his arms and carried her to the couch."Stay home, Avery. I'll go see Chelsea now." He gazed into her eyes and promised, "I will make her pay the most severely."Avery nodded.Elliot and Chad left moments later.In the car, Elliot dialed Chelsea's number on his phone. It took a few tries before his call was answered.In the past, she had always picked up his calls within seconds.Chelsea did not speak after she answered the call.She knew that something bad must have happened for him to call her."Where are you right now?" Elliot asked in a deep voice.Chelsea felt chills run through her entire body."Is there something I can help you with?""Yes.""What is it? Let's just talk about it on the phone! I'm afraid to meet you."There was a hint of caution in Chelsea's tone.Elliot could read her thoughts, and said, "I feel very bad about hitting you before. I'd like to meet and apologize."Chelsea laughed out loud, then said, "Even if you think you went

    After Elliot had contacted Chelsea, he called Charlie. When Charlie answered the call and heard what Chelsea had done, he stayed silent for a few seconds."Listen, Elliot. You're half the reason my sister is like this. If I were you, I wouldn't have allowed her to remain in the Sterling Group back then. If you don't love her, then you shouldn't have given her any hope!""I kept her at the company because of her work ethic and capability!""I know that, but don't you think she would start imagining things if she saw you every day? There's no point in talking about any of this at this point." Charlie let out a sigh, then said, "Chelsea is traveling abroad right now. Tell me what you want her to do?""I want her dead.""Ellliot Foster! After all the years she's been bby your side, do you have to be this heartless with her?" Charlie took in a sharp breath, unable to accept this result. "Can't you let her live for my sake? We were classmates, after all.""Should I let her live so th

    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
