Chapter 329 “Can’t the bodyguard and nanny watch her? It’s been so long since we’ve had a drink!” Ben said, then
whispered in Elliot’s ear, “Avery went abroad today.”
Elliot’s eyes turned dark.
He suddenly had the urge to drink.
Ben booked a spot at a rooftop restaurant.
The two men stood by the railings with a bottle of wine in hand each and looked out into the starry night sky as they
drank in silence.
The spring breeze was cool and stuck to every inch of their skin.
When they were done with their first bottles, Ben turned to Elliot and asked, “Did you agree to the engagement with
Zoe as thanks for Shea’s treatment?”
“My mother wanted me to marry her. Avery also told me to live a good life with her. Shea’s treatment is just a
minor reason.”
Elliot lifted his head slightly, revealing his long, sensual neck.

so I’m simply granting her wish.”

“What’s with that expression? It’s just an engagement, not marriage. Even if you get married, you can always get a
divorce!” Ben said as he patted Elliot’s shoulder when he saw the pained expression on his face. “Come on. Let’s
have another drink.”
A week later, Shea suddenly appeared at the door to Hayden and Layla’s classroom at Starry River Kindergarten.
This time, there was no smile on her face.
She always had a silly grin on her face every time they met before.
Hayden and Layla walked out of the classroom.
“I’m here to see you one last time, Hayden and Layla…” Shea said as tears glistened in her eyes.
“Why is it the last time? Dirt… I mean, is Elliot Foster stopping you from seeing us again?” Layla said, catching
herself before she slipped her tongue.
Shea shook her head as tears streamed down her face.
“I’m dying. I don’t think… I have much time left to live.”
Hayden and Layla looked helplessly at her as sadness surged inside them.
Shea took out the bag she brought with her.

“I wanted to give you my most precious treasure because you are my best friends.”
She wiped the tears off her face, then pulled out a jewelry box and several photo albums from the bag.
These were her most valuable and favorite things.

Tears escaped Layla’s eyes, then she burst into sobs, “Don’t die, Shea! You won’t die! Put these things away!
Hayden and I don’t want them!”
Mrs. Scarlet wiped her own tears next to them.
Shea was falling into unconsciousness every night ever since the surgery.
Logically, she was supposed to be energetic the next day after a night of sleep.
However, things were the exact opposite.
Shea threw a tantrum that day and insisted on going to see Hayden and Layla.
Mrs. Scarlet snuck her out behind Elliot’s back.
“My Mommy’s coming home today, Shea! Let’s go see her! She can save you!” Layla said as she grabbed onto
Shea’s hand and pulled her away without a care.
Hayden thought that was too impulsive.
Avery might be upset, but he did not stop them.
His heart ached when he heard that Shea was dying. The last time he felt pain like that was back when his
grandmother passed away.
