Both of them were stunned.
"Big H. .. don't sell these coins just yet! | think their value will go even higher," Mike gasped and reminded Hayden.
"Okay." "Don't tell your mom about this yet," Mike continued, "she might have a heart attack if she finds out about this." "I will pass you the money and you can give it to her." "Sure... Let's go eat first!" Mike lifted Hayden off his feet. In his mind, Hayden towered over him in terms of what he had accomplished.
Meanwhile, in Bridgedale.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvery had just finished the surgery for her client's father and the client invited her for a meal in a hotel.
"Doctor Tate, do you know Zoe Sanford?" Avery's heart sank, but did not let it show." Not really. Why?" "This person has been asking about you through a friend of mine. | wonder where she caught news of the deal between us. Why would she be gathering intel on you if you two don't even know each other?" "What did your friend say?" Avery asked.
"I told my friend not to say anything. | haven't told many people about getting you to perform surgery on my father to begin with, I'm not sure how she managed to find out about this." "Well, if she managed to find your friend, it means she already knows." "Yeah! But this shouldn't affect your life in any way, right? | heard that you are running a business in Aryadelle." "No effect at all.” "That's good to hear. I've already had my assistant transfer the remaining balance to you," the client said with a smile, "you charge high, but | think it's worth every penny. Why haven't you even done any marketing on yourself, Doctor Tate? | wouldn't have known that you studied under Professor Hough had it not been for the kidnapping incident.” "I have to return to Aryadelle in order to fulfill the dying wish of a senior." "| see. Can | come to seek your help in the future when | need to?" "It depends on whether | have the time for it, since | will be going back to Aryadelle in a few days’ time." "What a shame, | was going to introduce a few other clients to you! | guess | will have to wait until your next visit.” "Yeah." Avery had earned 780000 dollars from the surgery, =b,:SKQ: the pay was decided by the client, not her.
She needed the money and also knew that it was an acceptable amount if the client himself proposed it, so she did not reject the offer.
It took a little over a week to prepare for the surgery and the wound on her arm was not longer as painful.
It had been two months since she was separated from her children and she missed them.
After exiting the hotel, she made a reservation for the pregnancy check-up for the next day.
She was four months into the pregnancy, so she would like to undergo a check-up before returning to Aryadelle.
Upon arriving home, Avery glanced at the calendar and researched on flights.
For some reason, she kept thinking of Elliot whenever she thought about going back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElliot had stopped contacting her since his outburst the last time he called. She couldn't help but feel upset whenever she thought back to the words he said.
He said that she didn't care how he felt, but how could he make such an accusation so easily? Was it only right if she accepted 1400 million? She didn't have the courage to accept the money, considering the nature of their relationship.
After taking a shower, she got into bed feeling exhausted. She had an early appointment the next morning for the check-up, so she couldn't stay up late.
The next day, the bodyguard sent her off to the hospital.
She went to the doctor she made the reservation with and after describing her condition to the doctor, the doctor told her to lay down on the bed.
"Is your baby sixteen weeks old?" The doctor ran the ultrasound sensor across her abdomen.
