"Mommy, Layla is angry." Hayden changed the topic. "She thought that I would be returning with you, and now, she is upset with me because I didn't get you home. She is now ignoring me."Avery was heartbroken. "Let's call her!""She won't answer," Hayden said. "Then, I'll call her tomorrow," Avery said. "Don't tell her about the things that had happened here. I don't want her to worry." "Hmm." Hayden understood. "Mommy, they beat Elliot up for getting me out of Ylore."Avery was stunned."I saw a footprint on his shirt. Gary must have beaten him," said Hayden. "I don't hate him for strangling me anymore."Avery had mixed feelings. She did not know if she should be happy that father and son had finally forgiven each other, or if she should be upset about Elliot's current condition."Mommy, when can you come back? Has he told you already?" asked Hayden when he saw Avery's silence. "I don't know. Christopher's funeral will be held the day after tomorrow. I'm guessing he will o

Once Avery left Ylore, Gary might never allow her to return. It was a long time before a cedar coffin— borne by the members of the Gould family, exited the hotel. She saw Elliot's towering figure. He had clearly become a part of the Goulds.Gary would not have him carry Christopher's coffin otherwise. Soon, they placed the coffin into the hearse. Many expensive cars left, disappearing from sight.Avery, with the umbrella in her hand, followed the crowd and left.She did not hail a taxi. She slowly walked back to the hotel. Her bodyguard and Jed were having tea in the lobby of the hotel when they saw Avery entering the building. They stared at her in shock. They had thought that Avery was resting in her room."Miss Tate!" her bodyguard gasped.Avery was in shock, and she mechanically headed for the lift. It was an action born out of habit.Jed realized that something was not right. He approached her and stopped her. "What happened to you? Why do you look so down? Don't tel

Avery had been like this ever since she had returned from dinner."Have I reached the end of the road? Am I really in such a desperate situation?" she thought.Her heart was silent. She knew better than anyone about the dire situation she was in and the relationship she could not save. She could not save herself. Even if Elliot regained his memories and called her to tell her that she was the love of his life, it was still pointless! In the face of death, everything seemed so small.It was almost two in the morning, and she was about to turn off the lights when her phone lit up. It was a message.When she saw Elliot's message, her heart thundered in her chest. She felt like she had just returned from the grave!He replied to the message she had sent, [Wait a little longer.]For a long time, she just stared at the message. Ten minutes had passed, and she was still struggling with herself. She did not know whether she should send him a reply or not. Another ten minutes passed.

"He won't let me touch him." Ruby lowered her gaze. "Avery can touch him, but I can't.""So, why don't you get us out of here?" said Jed. Jed had tailed her because he wanted another shot at persuading her to help them. They would be better off in Aryadelle or Bridgedale. Anywhere was better than here. Ruby sneered, "Dr. Hutchinson, I did not think you followed me because you wanted my help." "You know it yourself. Elliot has Avery in his heart. Only by letting Avery go, can you take your relationship with Elliot to the next level. I'm helping you solve your problem.""Hehe. If I could get you out of here, don't you think I would have already done it? I hate Avery more than anyone!" Ruby was in pain. "If I don't have a child, my father will surely blame me. Am I to have a child with another man?"Jed's head throbbed. "Are you planning to have a child with another man and pass it off as Elliot's?""That was his idea. I think it's a stupid idea! I don't want other men to touch

[I bumped into Ruby Gould at the hospital. She was troubled over trying to get pregnant because Elliot would not touch her or have a child with her. I knew that Elliot was still thinking about you, which was why he would not touch her.[At that moment, I finally understood why you had risked your life going to Ylore. You two are a match made in heaven, and no matter what, I will not tear you apart.[When writing this email, I still think that you two will be together in the end, because I believe in true love.[You can probably guess what I'm going to tell you next. I transferred the baby you were carrying into Ruby, and in exchange, she helped us get out of Ylore. [I'm writing this email as an admission of my mistakes, and I hope you will forgive me. You must know that the child that Ruby and Elliot share is your child. Yours and Elliot's. [If you want the child back, you should go to Ylore and look for the child! I do not know if the child is a boy or girl, but I'm sure that R
