Goosebumps filled Avery’s body and pain rippled out her soul. Riana killed Celina and wanted her dead.“Are you alright?” Abel asked from the wheelchair where he sat. He broke his waist because of the accident, something he considered as the price of his redemption a deserving punishment for Avery’s broken waist. He had paid the price for her injury.“Jonathan is dead”“What?”Abel was stunned. It was a few hours ago that he received the news of his waking up. Had it not been because of his condition, he would’ve approached the man earlier and found out who hired him to hurt Avery.

When Riana stepped in. She quickly knelt before him, gripped his legs, and sobbed. “Please forgive me. It’s unimaginable that I consented to commit such a dreadful act. It was all because of Lucas. My parents needed some money, and Mr. Douglas was kind to offer financial assistance. However, I never knew he had a negative intention. I’m ashamed of myself”Abel gently strokes her hair.

I will make sure you rot in jail for killing Celina and no one will save you from me,” Avery said“You despicable woman, you are the reason Abel is sitting in that wheelchair. Because of you, he is now in this pitiable condition and he still supports you.“No, Riana, I’m not the cause. Abel was incapacitated because of you. Jonathan was hired to murder me, but Abel ended up hurting me. You have lost Riana because he will never be with you!With fury blazing in her eyes, Riana quickly wrapped her hand around Avery’s neck.“How dare you talk to me in that manner?” The officers and Tobias intercepted and hauled her away “Why were you so cruel?

“How did it go?” Lucy asked Avery as she slumped into the chair, fatigue etched across her face.“Everything is under control,” Avery replied, taking a deep breath. “He’s suffering from endocarditis. His valves are seriously damaged, and he needs a replacement.”“That doesn’t sound good,” Lucy said, concern deepening in her eyes.“Yeah, it’s serious. But we can only give it our best shot,” Avery said, trying to sound more optimistic than she felt.“When did you schedule the surgery?” Lucy inquired, leaning forward.“As soon as we find a donor. His father is already making some contacts. Hopefully, in two or three weeks, something will come up,” Avery explained, running a hand through her hair.“I pray it works out,” Lucy said softly, placing a reassuring hand on Avery’s.“Where are the kids? Have they gone to bed?” Avery asked, changing the subject slightly to ease her mind.“They’re still with your father. Adam has been giving them a tour, and they’ve refused to come home,” Lucy chuc
