NovelEnglishHowever, he was far too timid to face the pain of death, so he couldn't bring himself to act.
After sitting on a bench by the road for stime, he summoned the courage to dial Elliot's number; to his surprise, Elliot
answered right away.
Cole was stunned and wasn't quite sure what to say at first. "I... My dad is sick..." Scared that Elliot would hang up, he swiftly
adjusted himself and pleaded, "he was diagnosed with lung cancer half a year ago... I've run out of money to treat him. Elliot, I'm
begging you, please help my dad! | know that you hate me, but my dad is innocent... He's not a bad person... Elliot, please lend us
smoney for Grandma's sake!"
"How dare you mention Grandma?!" Elliot's eyes widened in anger. "If you didn't murder her, she would still be alive!"
"I'm sorry! | know that | have no right to mention her... but my mom is dead and if my dad dies as well, | won't have any family
left!" Cole burst into tears.
He pointed out his mother's death to remind Elliot that his mother had paid for their grandmother's death.

"If this is about your dad, get him to ctohimself." Elliot did not want to see Cole, as he might lose control and kill him.
"My dad won't do it... He said he was too ashamed of himself to do so... He has regretted suing you and causing everyone to
condemn you. He wants to apologize to you, but doesn't know if you would want to hear it..." Cole wailed.
Annoyed, Elliot hung up.
Henry was diagnosed with lung cancer and needed money for treatment. If it was Cole who was ill, Elliot would only thank the gods
for serving him justice, but since it was Henry who was ill...
Though he had cut all ties with Henry long ago, he could not be completely merciless towards Henry considering the way Rosalie
took care of him.
"Chad, | need you to do something to me," Elliot whispered to Chad.
"Of course, Mr. Foster."
"Cole said that Henry is diagnosed with lung cancer and needs money for treatment. Look into it and see if he's telling the truth,"
Elliot said.
"Sure. If it is true, they will indeed need money. Are you planning to pay for them?" Chad could already guess what Elliot was
thinking and felt sorry for Elliot. "Mr. Foster, have you forgotten about what they did to you? Your last wedding with Avery was
destroyed by them."
"I've never forgotten." Elliot's expression darkened. "I won't just give them money. I'll simply lend them money through a third
party and if Cole fails to pay the debt, he will learn what it's like to be targeted by loan sharks."
Chad nodded. "That's not bad. That way, you can help Henry and they won't be able to take advantage of you."
"Go ahead."
"Okay. Enjoy your honeymoon with Avery. Don’t worry about anything else."
"Sure," Elliot said, before spotting Avery at the corners of his eyes.
Avery walked toward him and said, "Elliot, Cole messagedasking for money and | told him off." Avery went to touch up on her
makeup and her features looked even more delicate.

"He called me." Elliot told her about Henry's condition. "I've trusted Chad with handling this. Don't worry."
"Yeah. Just don't give them money directly. I'm still mad whenever | think of them."
"Don't get mad. They are not worth it." Elliot had regained his composure. "Mrs. Cooper has packed everything up for us. Let's go
say goodbye to the kids!"
"I'll go alone. I don't want you to change your mind when Robert throws a tantrum." Avery tapped him on the shoulder and walked
toward her children.
Elliot watched them from afar.
Avery went to Robert and talked to him. Robert immediately started to pout and wrapped his arms around Avery, refusing to let go.
She crouched down and whispered consoling words to him, before Layla cover to carry him away. After that, Avery had a few
words with Hayden and Hayden nodded in response.
Elliot took it as a hint that she had convinced all three of their children. Once everything was settled, she turned around to give
him a 'okay' hand gesture.
