Avery walked up to Nick and said firmly, "I will at least ask him to give me an explanation before I leave.""I'm too lazy to care about your business!" said Nick. He had had enough of her stubbornness."I know your bark is worse than your bite. So is Elliot's," said Avery. She felt a glimmer of light in her heart.Although she was kidnapped and humiliated, she was happy that she had known Elliot's thoughts.'If Elliot had had no feelings for me, he wouldn't have come to seek help from Nick,' Avery thought."That's mushy! Don't you feel shy?" Nick blushed and strode out of the living room.Somewhere in the city, Nick's bodyguard left Avery after they had arrived at the hotel safely.When she walked to the lift, her bodyguard walked to her and patted her shoulder, "Avery! You're finally back! Jed called me and said that you were kidnapped, and I was super anxious!"Avery's bodyguard was new to Ylore. He did not have a lot of friends here, hence he could not get any information a

When Ben and Lilith arrived at Starry River Villa, Hayden was about to go out.He bought a flight ticket to Ylore that would depart at three o'clock in the afternoon.However, Lilith's arrival disrupted his travel plan."Hayden, I'm so sorry to trouble your Aunt. Lilith didn't want to stay at my house, so I brought her here. I'll explain to your mom later," said Ben.Hayden then glanced at Lilith.Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked aggrieved as if she was bullied.Her head was hung low when she was carrying her luggage to the room she used to live in."The child is gone," Ben told Hayden after Lilith had walked far away, "She was set up by a young lady who used to live next door to me.""Scram! I don't want to see you," Hayden did not want to hear any more sentences from Ben.Ben felt guilty when he heard Hayden. He wanted to say something but he knew that whatever he said would only be superfluous to Hayden.After Ben had left, Hayden put his backpack

Jed strode out of the ward afterward.Right as he stepped out, he saw Elliot standing not far away from him.Elliot was leaning against the window smoking a cigarette.To Jed's surprise, Elliot had already returned to the hospital.Yet, he did not step into Ruby's ward all this while.Jed then walked up to Elliot and saw a lot of cigarette butts in the trash can in front of Elliot."Is Avery safe now?" asked Jed."Yeah. I saw you fell asleep, so I didn't wake you up." Elliot threw the cigarette he was holding into the trash can, "Off you go.""I was about to. By the way, she already woke up. You should check on her."Elliot pursed his lips and strode back to Ruby's ward while Jed headed to the lift.For some unknown reason, Elliot was terrifying in Jed's eyes.Although Elliot looked calm on the outside, Jed could sense that a storm was coming when he looked into Elliot's eyes.To Jed, Elliot was like a dormant beast that would wake up at any time!Time flew, and the sun wa

"Only he knows," Avery was distracted.She felt that Elliot had already remembered her, but she was not sure as long as Elliot did not tell her personally.To her, Elliot might have saved her last night because of the intimate affair they had on the yacht."What's your next step?" asked Ben, "Do you need my help? He's forgotten you but not me.""Has he ever contacted you?" Avery curiously asked."No," Ben was embarrassed, "I received a call from an unknown number calling from Ylore not long ago and didn't pick it up. However, no one answered when I called back.""I know his phone number in Ylore," Avery anticipated, "Show me.""Okay," Ben then found the unknown number which he did not save in the call log.Avery's heart beat fast when she heard the number from Ben, "Ben, it's him! He's using this number in Ylore!""I knew it! He only forgot you but not me! That's why he remembers my number!" Ben breathed heavily, "But why didn't he pick up my phone? I know he's not into romanc
Chapter 1315
Gary visited Ruby after he had had breakfast.She looked refreshed that day.She felt everything was worth it because Elliot had been by her side."Dad, I want to go home to recuperate," Ruby said cutely, "I don't want Elliot to suffer with me in the hospital.""Okay. I'll send the paramedics home to take care of you.""Thanks, dad." Ruby smiled, but there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, "Dad, where's brother? Did you punish him?""Shouldn't I? You just married Elliot and he's already wanted to kill Elliot…""Brother was being impulsive. Dad, you could talk to him but please don't punish him. I don't want him and Elliot to become enemies. It'll be heartbreaking if that happens," Ruby begged."My silly daughter! Don't worry about that!" said Gary while dropping a hint to Elliot with a strange look.After both of them had come out of the ward, Gary patted Elliot's shoulder."I meted out punishment to you last night because I was worried you might repeat the same mistake! You

Hayden saw his face and hurried to another elevator by reflex.Elliot came out of the elevator with his companions and strode toward the hotel entrance.He did not seem to have noticed Hayden, or perhaps he had noticed the child but he had not realized that Hayden was his son.All in all, their encounter went unnoticed.After Elliot left, the elevator door before Hayden opened. After hesitating for a few moments, Hayden decided to check out from the hotel.For him to run into Elliot today, meant that there were chances of him running into that man again. The hotel Hayden was staying at was the best hotel in all of Ylore, and he had booked a room here because it was safer; however, Gary ran that hotel....Elliot went to the hotel today because Gary wanted him to inspect the place.Gary intended on passing all of his businesses to Elliot, as his son, Christopher, was extremely reckless, and he had made plenty of enemies. If it was not for Gary, Christopher would have been killed

He had other work to do and could not remain in the hotel any longer, but he believed that once Avery arrived, she would be able to find Hayden. Once she did, she could take Hayden away from Ylore.Avery hung up and Jed noticed how pale she looked. "What happened? You look like you are running out of air.""Jed, something urgent came up. I need to head out right now!" Avery said anxiously. She did not waste a moment explaining things to him. "I'll explain to you later!"With that, she ran for the elevator.As soon as she moved, her bodyguard went after her.Ever since the kidnapping incident, her bodyguard had not left her side. Once they were in the elevator, he asked, "What happened?""Elliot called me just now. He said he saw Hayden!" Avery said nervously and was suddenly reminded of something.She opened the contact list on her phone and found Eric's number. Once the elevator arrived on the first floor, she exited hastily and dialed the number.Eric picked up and she asked,

She answered the call but did not manage to compose herself in time. "Elliot, I can't find Hayden. I asked the hotel and the receptionist said that he is not checked into this hotel."She felt a lump in her throat as tears threatened to fall. She would not have been this worried if Hayden was alone in a different country."Are you sure you saw him here?" she asked in a muffled voice."Yes," he said with certainty."You've never forgotten about Hayden, have you?" she asked, "Neither have you forgotten about Layla or Robert..."Elliot's breath grew heavier. "I am certain that he is in Ylore. You should be looking for him, instead of asking me meaningless questions like this.""I can't find him!" Tears rolled down her face. "I don't even know where to start looking for him. He won't answer his phone! So unless he contacts me, there's no way I'm going to be able to find him."Hayden was not a three-year-old toddler any longer. Ever since he had spent half a year studying overseas, h
