Avery walked up to Nick and said firmly, "I will at least ask him to give me an explanation before | leave.” "I'm too lazy to care about your business!" said Nick. He had had enough of her stubbornness.
"I know your bark is worse than your bite. So is Elliot's," said Avery. She felt a glimmer of light in her heart.

'If Elliot had had no feelings for me, he wouldn't have come to seek help from Nick, ' Avery thought.
"That's mushy! Don't you feel shy?" Nick blushed and strode out of the living room.
Somewhere in the city, Nick's bodyguard left Avery after they had arrived at the hotel safely.
When she walked to the lift, her bodyguard walked to her and patted her shoulder," Avery! You're finally back! Jed called me and said that you were kidnapped, and | was super anxious!" Avery's bodyguard was new to Ylore. He did not have a lot of friends here, hence he could not get any information about Avery but could only wait in the hotel.
"I shouldn't have let you take a day off." Avery pressed the lift button in jitters, "I didn’t expect that he dared to kidnap me on the street!" "The whole city is under the control of the Goulds, of course he dared! I'm glad that you're back. If not, | don't know how | should face Mike! And both your kids... Oh, right, who rescued you?" "Elliot." "I knew it! No one could do that except him. Jed even cried when he called me." He paused and sighed, "Honestly speaking, your friend's quite loyal." "Where's he now?" asked Avery.

"I've lost my phone," said Avery with two empty hands, "I wonder if he picked up my phone." The bodyguard glanced at a clock, "It's almost one in the morning. You can see him the next morning in his room." "Okay." In a hospital in Aryadelle, Ben was accompanying Lilith while waiting for the B-ultrasound result. Soon, the result was out >h)=PKX: it showed that Lilith's gestational sac was gone.
Her child was gone too.
Ben then helped her to walk out of the ultrasound room.
She had stopped crying but she was still down. All the while, she did not say a word and her eyes were kept low.
Ben led her to a chair and made her sit, " Lilith, what's happened? The nanny said that you went out after breakfast. What have you done?" She heard Ben's voice and then she raised her head, "The woman with shoulderlength hair was wearing a dark brown shirt. She said she was your friend and treated me to a cup of milk tea. It was that cup of milk tea that killed my child." Ben frowned as if he was listening to a bizarre story.
"She said she's my friend? What's her name?" "She refused to tell me, but | have her phone number." Lilith opened her phone and showed Ben her call records, "Ben, | was silly, but it's good news too that | have a miscarriage because you're now no longer in a dilemma.
However, | can’t return the dowry you gave to my brother yet." Ben felt an instance of pain in his heart when he saw the number, "Enough, Lilith! It's my fault! | know her. I'll find her now!" Lilith stopped Ben before he left, "Send me back to Starry River Villa first!"
