Mrs. Cooper shook her head and said, "He looked really upset when he left this morning, so I was too afraid to ask. How about you give him a call?"Avery pulled her phone out of her bag and dialed Elliot's number. The call went through, but there was no answer."Come inside, Avery! It's too cold out here." Mrs. Cooper led her inside. "How's your recovery going?""I'm doing well," Avery responded casually.The wound on her abdomen was still aching, but the series of events that were happening constantly made her forget about the pain."I'm also a woman and I've also had children. It hasn't even been a month since you gave birth, but you've been running back and forth between the house and the hospital. That must affect your recovery." Mrs. Cooper sighed, then continued, "Once Robert's condition is stable, you can rest at home in peace. Master Elliot will get through this by himself.""I know. I just came to check on him." Avery would not be able to rest easy if she did not at leas

However, there were individual photos of Shea.At the time, Elliot was also just a four-year-old child. Even if he was smarter than others his age, he still would not be able to do anything about wanting his sister to be a part of the family portrait.Avery guessed that Elliot's father was the main reason behind the fact that Shea was left out of the family register. He could not accept having a mentally disabled child.Otherwise, he would not leave his own daughter out of their family portraits.Avery continued to look through the photos. When she turned a new page, she saw a photo of Elliot at five years old.Looking at a five-year-old Elliot felt like she was looking at him now, but something did not feel right.Her heart tightened in her chest as her hands began to tremble.Elliot did not look like this when she was looking at the earlier photos, but the five-year-old Elliot was obviously him!Avery turned back to the earlier pages and tried to find photos of Elliot at four

The hallways in the hospital were secluded and quiet.Avery made her way to the intensive care unit in the neonatal unit.One of the nurses recognized her, then quickly approached her and said, "Robert's doing very well today, Miss Tate! If everything goes well, then you can just rest at home and wait until he can be discharged."Avery nodded her head.Since Robert was fine, there was no use for her to stick around.As she left the hospital, her head began to spin.She knew exactly why she was upset.She could try to convince herself over and over again to not care about Elliot's behavior. She could pretend to be cool and raise the children herself with no hiccups. However, why did her heart ache this much?She knew very well that Hayden and Layla might have always said that they did not want a father, but they wanted one in their hearts.Avery knew that she needed him, too.However, there seemed to always be an invisible pair of claws between them.Every time they wanted to

Avery wanted to return to work, too, but her body still had not recovered.Even if she wanted to go back to the office, Mike would not allow it.There was another thunderstorm today.This winter was much colder than the years before. Mike reminded her not to leave the house before he went to the office earlier."You can invite your friends over to the house if you're bored, Avery," he said.Avery simply grunted in response.Once Mike left, she suddenly thought about how she did not really have many friends. Tammy's abduction left a permanent scar on her, and Wesley was nowhere to be found. She had no friends to invite over at all.Mike returned an hour later with a bag of yarn."Knit a sweater if you're bored, Avery! You could make sweaters for the kids, or even for me." Mike figured that knitting was not a tiring activity, and it took more time. "You could even knit one for Chad's dog."Avery put down the book she was reading, then looked at him and asked, "Do I look that bor

This was Avery's first official meeting with Robert.When he was in the incubator, he was practically in a coma the entire time. After he regained his health, she had not visited him yet.At this time, when she saw his glistening eyes, she could not help but smile."Robert! Sweet baby!" Mike stood next to Avery and gently poked Robert's cheek with his finger. "Let Uncle Mike carry you!"Mike carefully took the baby from Avery's arms.At that moment, Chad walked over with a baby carrier basket and asked Mike to put Robert in it."Don't mess around if you don't know how to carry a baby," Chad warned. "You have to support this part of his neck back here.""You talk like you're experienced. You didn't see how professional I was when handling Hayden and Layla as babies!" Mike bragged, then placed Robert in the carrier basket.They arrived back at the Starry River Villa half an hour later.The baby carrier basket which Robert was lying in was placed on the couch.Layla and Hayden g

Elliot's secondary reason for being in Hartsburg was work. His main reason was to escape.Every time he thought about how Shea had sacrificed herself for Robert, he felt his heart being ripped into pieces and dripping with blood!When his phone screen lit up, he opened up the message he received.A photo suddenly appeared on the screen. Robert was staring blankly at the camera with his obsidian eyes. It was as if he was looking right at Elliot. His breath instantly turned heavy when he saw the photo.He took a deep breath, then placed the phone down.Reason told him that Shea's death had nothing to do with Robert, but he could not get over the obstacle in his heart.The mere thought of how Shea would not appear in front of him and sweetly call him Big Brother again made him crippled with agony, and destroyed all of his reason.That night at the Starry River Villa, Mike had invited Jun and Ben to come celebrate Robert's discharge from the hospital together.A baby Robert's age

However, by the time the clock struck eleven at night, Elliot still did not show up.If he really wanted to see Robert, then he definitely would have come by tonight."Go get some rest, Avery!" Mrs. Cooper checked the time, then said, "Robert is such a good baby. If he cries tonight, I'll get him some milk.""Okay, thank you. I'll take over in the morning."Avery walked out of the room and made it toward the master bedroom.She was much calmer than before.Nobody could have everything. Now that she had her three children by her side, nothing was more important than their health.She felt relieved after she thought it through.When she returned to her room, she did not feel like sleeping at all.With Mrs. Cooper helping out with Robert, she did not have to worry about anything.She suddenly remembered the jobs she picked up while she was pregnant.Since the patient was not in a hurry, she put the job on hold when she entered her third trimester.She pulled the patient's medi

"He didn't look for me, but I'm running out of time! Do you have any clues, Tierney?" Wanda said. "We're on the same boat right now. If you can't save me, then I will definitely drag you down into the waters with me.""Are you not afraid that I might kill you, Wanda Tate? Where did you find the gall to threaten me?" Charlie said."I didn't depend on this old face to get to where I am today!" Wanda's voice turned eerie. "I have plenty of ways to get away from this, but I refuse to hide like a rat! I want to work with you and bring Elliot Foster down! Only then would I be able to focus on dealing with Avery Tate!"Charlie was silent for a few seconds.He also wanted to bring Elliot down, so what he needed to do right now was not fall out with Wanda."I got a clue about that box."He wanted to talk about this only after he found the box, but since Wanda was pestering him, he had to bring it up earlier."What clue?" Wanda asked nervously."I'll tell you about it once I find the box. If I g

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
