"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.He had been outside the operation theater the previous night, but his mother had called him, and he 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'll go to whichever school you want me to go to."Then, she heard Layla's soft but hoarse voice,

Avery came out of Laura's room.When Mike saw her, he thought he saw a ghost. She had not seen daylight for the past few days. She looked pale and weary. On top of that, she had barely eaten anything. She looked emaciated.When the children saw her, they were stunned too.Avery turned and entered her room. Mike immediately chased after her. "Avery, don't tell me you're going to work?" Mike guessed.Avery took out a set of clothes from her closet and headed to the bathroom. "You stay at home with the kids. I'll head to the office and have a look.""Oh, so I'll stay at home and look after the kids in the future?" Mike asked.Avery shook her head. "I'll hire bodyguards.""Shouldn't it be nannies?" "No need." Avery planned to care for all her children's needs herself. The bodyguards only needed to send the children to school and pick them up from school, ensuring their safety. That was enough."By the way, I heard that Laura's accident was not an ordinary accident but murder," Mi

Mike was speechless."One. Two…" Avery started counting.Mike's face flushed. "Avery! Fine, live with your own mess! I'll leave you alone!"Then, he turned and left the police station.Coming out of the police station, Mike called Chad."Chad! Is your boss around? I'm looking for him!" Mike was standing outside the police station, with the icy wind blowing against him. He was feeling extremely aggrieved.Despite how he was feeling, he could not leave Avery alone. Avery was in a special situation at that moment. When one was extremely agitated, they could do anything.She could kill someone today, but what if she killed herself the next day?"We just started work today. It's a little busy. Why are you looking for him?" Chad was talking fast. After asking his question, he came to a realization. "You're looking for my boss. Did something happen to Avery?""She's in a mess. She almost killed Wanda today. She's at the police station right now. I think she is going to be detained. I

After breakfast, Avery took the children to preschool.Hayden was the one who had suggested going to the same preschool as Layla.That way, Avery would not have to send them to and pick them up from preschool.It felt like everything had remained the same after Laura's death, but it also felt like everything had changed."Winter's come and gone, Avery," Mike said as he drove the car onto the main road. "Let's move on from all this unhappiness! Every day from now on will be filled with good luck."Avery stared at him blankly."Can't you speak like a normal person?"Mike cleared his throat and said, "I know you'll still be down for a while, but we should keep our eyes facing forward. There are many more beautiful things and people that await you in the future.""Keep your eyes on the road.""Okay," Mike responded, then turned on some music.After taking a moment to ponder his words, Avery suddenly said, "Thank you, Mike.""Hmm?" Mike said as he turned the music off."Thanks f

When Wanda walked out of the courthouse, Avery blocked her path."You're next," Avery said.Avery wore light makeup, ensuring that her smooth complexion looked good.Beneath her calm veneer, however, lay a burning hatred that had never dampened. "Bring it! Both my daughter and my brother are gone. You better watch out, Avery Tate!"Wanda had suffered a concussion from the beating Avery had given her at the cafe, so she was filled with raging fury.She would never have backed down if Elliot Foster had not stood up for Avery!Avery got into the car with a bland expression and fastened her seat belt.Mike opened a bottle of water and handed it to her, then said, "Elliot Foster's looking into Eric Santos's doctor. I'm guessing he's planning on getting rid of Zoe Sanford. What a cruel man! She's pregnant with his child!"Avery took the bottle of water from him and took a sip.The cool liquid made its way down her throat and into her body, bringing with it a welcomed sense of vigo
