NovelEnglishAvery's entire body turned cold.
She felt like a joke was being played on her! Even if she was the most incredible doctor in the world, she would not be able to bring the dead back to life! "Miss Tate, this is my dearest daughter. She's the most beautiful woman in the world." David said as he leaned closer to Avery.
His voice had a hint of mockery and insanity in it. "Can you cure her? If you can, then I'm willing to give you anything you want!" With reddened eyes, Avery shoved him aside and snapped, "You're insane! How am | supposed to cure her when she's already dead?! | can only treat people who are alive. I've never said that my skills were so great to the point that | can bring back the dead!" "People told me that you're James Hough's last pupil, and that your medical skills surpassed his! Why can't you cure the dead?! How could you know if you don't try it?!" David grabbed onto Avery's arm and did not let her leave. "Where do you think you're going, Miss Tate? This is your home from now on!" Avery felt like her heart had fallen into an icy abyss.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe suddenly realized that the one who needed medical help was not the dead woman in the ice casket, but the living man standing in front of her! He was not a normal person at all! Now that she had fallen into his grasp, she could either bring his daughter back to life, or die in his hands.
The former was impossible. She would not be able to revive his daughter even if she sacrificed her own life.
Did that mean that death was the only option for her? She refused to give in...
"Let me go! If it's money that you want, I'll give you however much you ask for... I'm begging you! Let me go!" Avery's eyes welled up with tears of fear.
She had thought that she had run out of tears that morning, but she was wrong. She just needed to suffer a stronger blow.
Now that it was confirmed that there was no way for her to escape this place, a wave of hopelessness overcame her! All of her reason flew out of the window as she tried to escape David's grip with all her might.
However, as a man, David was stronger than her after all. She quickly ran out of energy, >h"?PNT? was shoved to the ground.
"I'm disappointed that you can't bring my daughter back," David said regretfully as he crouched down next to Avery. Then, as if giving her a generous offer, he said, "I won't kill you as long as you stay by my side and do your best to serve me." "In your dreams!" Avery fired a deadly glare at him, then said loud and clear, "I would never associate myself with a lunatic like you!" "Ha! Are you not afraid of death, Miss Tate? " David reached out to grab her chin, then said with a sinister grin, "Are you really not afraid to die? Think about it carefully before you answer me." With a face filled with disgust and hatred, Avery smacked his hand away and said, "I wouldn't be here if | feared death. Even if you abducted ten Wesleys, my life is still important to me." "I see... | suppose that's right. | know many geniuses in various sectors, Miss Tate.

"| despise you because you think you can do whatever you want just because you're rich!" Avery held onto the cupboard next to her for support, then slowly rose to her feet. "You're keeping me captive right now.
You've already broken the law!" "Hahaha! This is Bridgedale. You think you can discuss the law with me?" David laughed wickedly. "Miss Tate, | sincerely want you to stay by my side. Don't make me use force. After all, | might be violent, but | don't murder children.” As David spoke, his menacing gaze landed on Avery's slightly protruding belly.
Avery felt like she was thrown into a fire as her entire body instantly burned up! "I hope you won't force me to make an exception." The smile on David's face slowly vanished as he said, "As per usual, you have twenty four hours." Avery did not know how she managed to walk back to her room.
How could she have forgotten about the baby? She was not afraid to die, but the baby was turning four months old soon! It was already a living being. How could she not care about its wellbeing? David returned to the living room, and his assistant handed him a lit cigar.
"Sir, Senator Kane called earlier saying he had something to discuss with you. He insisted that you call him back." The assistant held his phone in his hand, then asked, "Would you like to return his call now?" "Sure." David narrowed his eyes as he took a puff of his cigar, then exhaled a thick circle of smoke.
Once the call went through, David took the phone over.
"I heard you have a woman called Avery Tate. Is that true?" "Why are you bothering yourself with such a small matter?" David narrowed his eyes and grinned half-heartedly. "She’s just some doctor..." "| looked into her! She's the head of Alpha Technologies and the president of Tate Industries in Aryadelle! Why did you have to take her of all people? She's from Aryadelle..."
