"Why don't you get someone to kidnap Adrian!" said Tammy, proposing her idea. "If you were to talk to Henry and Cole, they would surely not let go of the opportunity to extort you for money. You would rather send the bodyguard over to take Adrian!"Avery was stunned by Tammy's idea."Tammy, we are in a lawful society. Even if Henry doesn't have the money, they still have connections. Furthermore, if I were to get the bodyguard to take Adrian, Elliot would hear about this. His injuries from a week ago have not completely healed. I don't want him to be threatened by Henry because of Shea.""Okay. Then, they will surely ask you for money," Tammy warned her, "Also, the amount that they will be asking will surely be a huge one. I'm not sure you can satisfy them.""We'll talk more once I see Henry! If I can't make a deal with them, I'll find another way. Although the direct relative's match for a suitable kidney would be much higher, a stranger's kidney would have a certain chance too."

"Hayden, I want to apologize to you." Avery looked at Hayden's groggy appearance and said, "I have to return to Aryadelle because of some issues.""Oh, what happened?" Hayden rubbed his eyes. There was a time difference between Bridgedale and Aryadelle. It was six in the morning at Bridgedale at that moment."Nothing too huge, don't worry. Once I'm ready, I'll head to Bridgedale to see you. Before I go over, I'll let you know," Avery said."Hmm.""Do you want to see Robert and Layla?" Avery said and panned the camera at Robert and Layla eating the banana.Layla immediately aimed the remaining banana she had in her hand at the camera, "Hayden, a banana for you!"Hayden replied, "How childish.""Hayden, Robert knows how to talk! He knows how to say Daddy, Mommy, and Layla, but he doesn't know how to say your name yet!" Layla deliberately tried to provoke him. "Will you be jealous?""Lame.""Hayden, do you miss me! If you say that you miss me, I'll head to Bridgedale to see you w

"It's no wonder you were looking for Adrian yesterday! So you are trying to get him to donate his kidney, after all!" Cole realized Avery's plan and said, "You asked me and my dad to give our kidneys on purpose so that we would panic, and only after you see us panicking would you mention Adrian… I have to say, Avery, you sure are smart!""Cole, don't try to undermine me with your crooked view of the world. Under normal circumstances, you are the one who's supposed to take the initiative and donate your kidney, but I know that you are too much of a coward to do so.""Speak properly! Why are you calling me a coward? Shea is my aunt, but what exactly has she done for me all these years? She hasn't even spoken to me once, and now you are asking me to donate my kidney to her? I would have to be crazy to do that!" Cole shouted furiously.Henry tapped him on the arm, signaling him to calm down."Avery, Shea is my sister and I wish for nothing but her speedy recovery, but I am too old to give

[No way.] Elliot rejected Ben's suggestion once again.[Then what about giving her a bit more allowance each month? With the money she is getting right now, it will take forever to save up enough to purchase a house!][If you pity her, you are welcome to buy her a place, and increase her allowance using your own money.][...]"Elliot, who are you texting?" Avery asked when she noticed that Elliot was not eating."Ben." He set his phone down and picked up the glass to take a sip of milk. "Lilith White is staying with him right now, so he would send me updates about her from time to time,"Lilith White? Your sister?" Avery remained thoughtful for a few moments. "It's not that appropriate for her to stay at Ben's place long term, is it? Should we find her a place?""Avery, if money comes too easily, one simply wouldn't learn to treasure it," Elliot deadpanned. "Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own lives without depending on others."Avery nodded. "You are right. She has jus

Her mind was eased that he had finally found peace.They stepped out of the yard and soon ran into two women along the road.One of the women saw Avery and greeted her enthusiastically, "Avery, are you back from your holiday?""Yeah! Are you on a walk?""Yeah! Your baby is so big now! How adorable!" The woman complimented Robert, before turning her attention to Elliot. "Avery, is this your husband?"Avery glanced at Elliot and hummed in response."Your husband is quite handsome, but what's with his face? Is it jaundice?" The woman looked worried, and she even reached out to try and touch Elliot's face.Elliot immediately took out his mask and wore it."No. He got injured, but he's almost recovered." Avery noticed that Elliot was feeling uncomfortable and said hastily, "Auntie, we will go take our walk now.""Sure! Bye!"After the two women left, Elliot muttered in confusion, "Are you close to them?""No!" Avery said. "We've just seen one another a few times! It's a community, so we are
