WIth furrowed brows, Elliot pulled out his phone and dialed Wesley's number.A few seconds after the call was made, he heard Wesley's exhausted voice."How's Robert doing?""Where did you get the blood, Wesley?" Elliot walked over to a secluded corner, then raised his voice and demanded, "You should know what I'm asking about!"Shea spent every single day with Wesley.There was a high possibility that the blood that he brought belonged to Shea.Wesley did not want to lie, nor did he want to tell him the truth right away."I don't think we have a trusting relationship, Elliot Foster," Wesley said calmly. "Would you trust what I say? Did you ever believe me back when I explained that there was nothing going on between Avery and me?""This is a separate matter entirely.""I've had a long day." Wesley did not want to continue speaking to him. "If you want to know if the blood was Shea's, then you can ask her directly. I'm sure she will answer your question.""You don't think I'll
Elliot walked over to the intensive care unit and sat on a bench outside.Mike sat down next to him."Go home and get some rest," Elliot said."I'm used to staying up at night. I won't be able to sleep if I went back now." Mike leaned back against the chair and scrolled through his phone. "I'm looking for sources in Bridgedale… It's not like people who have this rare blood type don't exist. Why do you think nobody's donating? Are we not offering enough money?""Not everyone knows their blood type, and not everyone knows about our needs." Elliot's eyes were cold as he said, "The world's bigger than we think it is. Plenty of people live in areas with no electricity or water. They don't even know what the internet is."Mike stared at him carefully and said, "That makes sense. I think I know why all those women fall for you. You're capable, but you also sometimes drive people mad.""Please elaborate." Perhaps it was because of the silence of the night, but Elliot felt calmer."Do yo
Avery pulled out her phone, found Shea's number, and dialed it.The call went through, but nobody answered.After the call was ended automatically, she called Wesley.Wesley very quickly answered the phone and said, "How are you doing, Avery? How's Robert's condition?""I'm doing well. Robert's also doing well right now… The doctor said that Shea came to the hospital this morning and that she looked very pale. I tried calling her but there was no answer. I'm a little worried about her."Alarm bells began to ring in Wesley's mind."I'll go see her right now.""Okay. Let me know once you've seen her. She usually looks just fine, why would she suddenly look pale? If her complexion looks really bad, take her to the hospital for a check-up.""Got it."Wesley hung up the phone, then immediately called Shea's bodyguard.When the bodyguard picked up the phone, Wesley asked anxiously, "Where's Shea right now? Is she okay?""She fell asleep in the car. We're almost home," responded th
At the Foster mansion, Wesley entered Shea's room.He stood by the room and watched her face as she slept.Mrs. Scarlet stood aside and said, "She woke up at six this morning and kept going on about wanting to go see Robert at the hospital. She doesn't usually wake up that early. I'm guessing her complexion looks worse than usual because she woke up too early.""Did she say anything this morning?" Wesley had a bitter feeling in his heart.He had a pact with Shea to keep the fact that she donated blood to Robert a secret.It was not that he was afraid of Elliot's fury, but Shea did not want to worry her brother."She said she was hungry and wanted to quickly eat breakfast so she could go to the hospital," said Mrs. Scarlet. "Master Elliot hasn't been home lately. She said she wanted to see Robert, but I'm guessing she probably wanted to see Master Elliot more."Wesley nodded and said, "Let's let her sleep for now. We'll talk about it once she wakes up."He walked out of the room and int
Elliot's words left a deep impression on Avery's heart.He thought that Robert's sickness was life's punishment for him.As a doctor, Avery could not agree.Robert's illness was due to both the premature birth and the fact that his body was weak.Her entire pregnancy was a rollercoaster ride. She was sick multiple times and had to take all kinds of drugs. She was also partially responsible for Robert's condition."I'll try to rush back in the next two hours, Avery."Elliot decided to book an entire plane once he arrived at the airport."Drive safe," Avery croaked."I will. The signal here is pretty bad. I'm hanging up.""Okay."Perhaps neither of them realized that, before Robert was born, they had fought over the matter with Chelsea, and broke things off completely.Now, all Avery wanted was for Robert's condition to quickly stabilize. Nothing else was more important than that.Moments later, Chad arrived with dinner for her."Eat something, Avery!" he said. "The police f
Avery stared at Chad and waited for him to continue."He has some stomach problems. When he gets busy and nobody is there to remind him, he'll forget to eat which triggers his stomach issues. He's got medication in his office and in his car. Other than that, he's also got mild depression. I heard about that from Ben. You can't really tell he's got depression from your usual interactions with him.""I could tell. His mood is unpredictable, which gives people a sense of oppression."I'm used to it, so I don't think it's that bad," Chad said awkwardly."Does he have any other illnesses?" Avery continued to ask.Chad thought about it and said, "I don't think there's anything serious.""Anything psychological, for example?""Wouldn't depression count for that?""Medically speaking, depression is considered a mental illness," Avery responded."Oh… Are the psychological issues you're talking about referring to people in mental hospitals with psychological disorders?" Chad frowned."
The moment the bodyguard said those words, everyone in the room was stunned.People would believe it if someone said that Elliot Foster had killed someone, but saying that he got down on his knees must be a joke!He was a formidable force in Aryadelle. With his status, there would never be the need for him to bow down to anyone!However, at this moment, Elliot was hanging his head. His silence was his confession.Avery suddenly recalled what he had said on the phone earlier.He said that he did not use force, and that he was going to try his best to be a good person so that their son did not have to pay for his mistakes.Avery felt a tingling sensation in her nose. She pulled his arm and dragged him away from the crowd."What happened?" Chad asked the bodyguard once Avery and Elliot were out of sight."The person whose blood was a match was a lady in her fifties. She lives in the mountains, so her mindset is relatively ignorant. She thought that donating blood would shorten her
A loving smile appeared on Elliot's face as he said, "I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to come home. I heard that you went to the hospital first thing this morning.""I couldn't go back to sleep once I woke up, but I slept a lot today." After Shea spent the day resting at home, her complexion looked much better than it did earlier. "How's Robert doing?""I found a bag of blood for him today. He should be fine at least until tomorrow." As Elliot said those words, he could not help but feel anxious.It would be great if they could find a large source of blood.That way, they would not have to worry about Robert falling back into critical condition at any moment."You're amazing, Big Brother." Shea held Elliot's hand and gazed at his face without blinking, "You've lost a lot of weight. It's heartbreaking! Mrs. Scarlet went to cook something for you. You have to eat more!"She dragged him toward the dining room."Robert will definitely get better. I still have to teach
