"I'll send more men over. They will be on twenty- four hour guard duty," said the captain before
changing the topic, "I hear your girlfriend is pregnant. Congratulations!"
"I don't like kids." Elliot's face darkened a little. His tone turned cold too. "If there are any updates on
the case, inform me at once."
The captain nodded. "Okay. How is Miss Tate? She was not too well yesterday. I wonder how she is
today."
Elliot's gaze darkened. His lips thinned into a tight line. He got up from the sofa and left. He could not
answer that question.

did not go in.
Zoe's pregnancy had become an obstacle in his mind. He could barely face it, let alone face Avery. °
Avery slept the afternoon away in the ward. She slowly opened her eyes. Before grief could enter her
mind, she heard Hayden say, "Mommy, I'l] go to whichever school you want me to go to."
Then, she heard Layla's soft but hoarse voice, " Mommy, I will behave too. Can you wake up soon?
Please?"
Layla had been crying nonstop, so her eyes were red. Her voice was hoarse too.
Avery's eyelids fluttered. She could not bear to hear that voice. She immediately sat up and grabbed
her children's hands.
"I'm fine. I was only tired, so I slept." Then, Avery got down from the bed. "Let's go home!"
She had only just stood up when Mike came forward and hugged her.
"Avery, you still have your two children and me. I will never betray you. As long as you need me, I will
never leave you."
Mike rarely has such serious moments.
Avery placed her chin on his shoulder. She took in a breath and said, "Let's go home! I miss home."
Shea was sitting in the living room of Elliot's mansion. He had not returned for three days, and she
refused to return to her room. Mrs. Cooper was sitting next to her, keeping her company.
"Does he not want me anymore?" Shea's voice suddenly broke through the silence in the living area.
"That's impossible."' Mrs. Cooper held Shea's hand. "Master Elliot has gone to Starry River Villa.“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAccording to the bodyguards, Elliot would go to the Starry River Villa every night, staying outside her
door till dawn arrived, then, he would leave. "He went to look for Avery?" Shea's voice rose in pitch. "I
want him to be with Avery."
Mrs. Cooper sighed. "He can't be with Avery." "Why not?" Shea's eyes sparkled brightly, yet they
looked so lost.
Mrs. Cooper was extremely sad as she thought of how Avery had lost her mother, and how Elliot has
been standing guard outside her door every night, wanting to see her, and yet, unable to.
"It's because of your condition. Dr. Sanford is treating you, and she used that to force Master Elliot to
be with her. She told him that if he did not stay with her, she would not treat you. Master Elliot needs to
be with Dr. Sanford," said Mrs. Cooper, her voice breaking slightly. 'Shea, do you understand me?"
Shea shook her head in a daze. "Please repeat it." Mrs. Cooper took a deep breath and repeated it
once again. This time, Shea roughly understood.
"I don't want to get better anymore," said Shea, her eyes sparkling. She clenched her hands into fists.
She kept muttering, "I'm not getting better... "“
