The moment Layla heard the cries of shock, she immediately returned to her earlier seat.The girl named Kiki was the one who was sitting next to her just now.She was focusing on eating her food earlier and did not notice Kiki's condition. How did Kiki suddenly fall asleep?"Kiki?" Layla reached out and lightly tapped Kiki, then asked in confusion, "Kiki! What's wrong, Kiki?"The teacher hurried over at that moment."Kiki's asleep! She won't wake up! Why is she sleeping so deeply?" wondered one of the students.The teacher saw that Kiki had not touched any of her food, but there were two containers in front of her.One of the containers was empty, while the other still had three cherries in it.The teacher patted Kiki's shoulder, then called out loudly, "Kiki! Wake up! This is the cafeteria! Let's go to the rest area to rest!""Is Kiki dead? She's not moving at all! It's so scary!" One of the more timid students burst into tears. "The dead people I saw on TV were just like thi

Elliot felt his chest tighten, then roared, "Avery! Stay right where you are! I'll send the bodyguards to go get you and the kids!"If Avery had not brought it up, Elliot would never have expected that Chelsea could have possibly escaped to Avonsville.Sometimes, the most dangerous places could end up being the safest refuge.Moreover, Chelsea might not be thinking about going into hiding right now, but to drag whoever she could down with her before she dies!Elliot was still unclear about what happened at Layla's school, but it must have been something serious for the teachers to ask the parents to take the children home!Avery's heart raced wildly after hearing his warning.The stop light in front of her turned green, and she was in a rush to pick Layla up from school, so she could not listen to Elliot."I should be fine. If Chelsea really does come looking for me, she might not be able to harm me." Avery had already made up her mind. "I'm about to reach Layla's school. I'll p

Avery froze in horror!"If I ate those cherries, I'd definitely be dead, too!" Layla burst into gut wrenching sobs.Avery immediately picked Layla out of the child safety seat and held her in her arms. "Don't cry sweetie. You're safe now! You'll always be safe! We won't eat at school again! I'll get the driver to send you food every day!"Layla sobbed breathlessly and said, "Kiki was my friend, Mommy. She died right next to me… I'm scared… I'm so scared!"Avery's eyes welled up as her emotions slowly crumbled and she burst into tears, too.According to Layla, if Kiki died from eating Layla's cherries, then Layla was the target all along!If Kiki had not eaten the cherries that were meant for Layla, then Layla would be the one who died today.Over at Rosacus City, after a few hours on an IV drip, Ben slowly awakened.He saw Elliot talking on the phone not too far away from him."How did a drug meant for euthanasia turn up in a school cafeteria?! How did it end up in my daughter

A large crowd had gathered outside the Sterling Group building.One could vaguely make out the red silhouette swaying up on the roof."I heard that the woman up there used to be the PR manager at Sterling Group! She was by Elliot Foster's side for over a decade but never got anything out of him. She was so hurt that she decided to die right here! What a stupid woman!""Is she one who was disfigured not long ago?""That's right! She used to be gorgeous, but she got disfigured in a fire. What a shame! She could not win Elliot Foster's heart before she was disfigured. After her disfigurement, he would want her even less!""There are plenty of women that Elliot Foster rejected, but did any of them want to jump off of a roof like this one? There must be something wrong with her, right?""Who knows what goes on in the private lives of the wealthy? I just think she's really pitiful and feel sorry for her right now!""There's a saying that pitiful people have hateful traits. If I wanted

As she listened to Elliot's deep voice, Avery's eyes suddenly began to well up.She did not say anything, but it was as if he could feel it."Do you feel like crying, Avery?" he asked hoarsely. "I'll come see you now! The office isn't important."Avery took a breath, then said, "I'm fine. I just feel awful thinking about how our daughter almost got poisoned to death. I can't imagine how painful it would be to lose her. I can't…""I know. I can't lose her either. She shouldn't eat at the school anymore after this.""I know. Go and deal with your company. I'll take a nap with Layla.""Alright. Call me if you need anything.""Okay."That evening, everyone showed up at the Starry River Villa to visit Layla.Layla was sitting on the couch dressed in a pretty nightgown and holding her favorite doll in her arms. The expression on her face was a gloominess way beyond her years.She was usually a bundle of joy. She would be warm and welcoming no matter who showed up at the house.Now

When Avery walked out of the bedroom and heard what Mrs. Cooper said, her back broke into a cold sweat!The DNA test results for Elliot and Cole were out.Avery had received a text message on her phone. She did not expect the test center to mail the test results to her house."Is that for me, Mrs. Cooper?"She walked over nonchalantly and took the package out of Mrs. Cooper's hand.She could feel Mrs. Cooper and Elliot's curious eyes on her, because the package had come from a paternity test center.Anybody would naturally wonder if she had gone to a paternity test center and taken a paternity test.Elliot got up from the couch and walked over to Avery."I got this test center to carry out a genetic test on one of my patients. He's got a very strange illness… It's complicated. Besides, the patient's pretty much recovered now," Avery said, then looked at Elliot and reminded, "We're going to Kiki's funeral today. Why haven't you changed yet?"Elliot lifted his wrist and checked

"Have you decided what to wear yet, Layla?" Avery asked instead of answering Layla's questions. "People usually wear black clothes to a funeral. How about you wear this black dress with these black tights?"Layla nodded her head. "You don't look happy, Mommy. What were you looking at just now?"Avery forced a smile and said, "It's about work.""You could ask Daddy to help you with that," Layla suggested. "He's staying at our house now. Could he refuse to help you with a thing or two?""I'll handle it myself. Let's get you changed!" Avery's heart was heavy, but she could not express it. She changed the subject and asked, "Are you sure you want to go back to school next week, Layla?""I am. I want to be braver. If the other kids are going back to school, then I can, too.""You're amazing, Layla. I'm so proud of you." Avery crouched down and planted a kiss on her daughter's forehead.In the living room, Elliot's phone was ringing.When Robert heard the ringtone, his obsidian black

"How many sheets of paper?" thought Elliot.Elliot Foster thought for a while and asked, "Are those papers she the one she took out of the delivery bag?"Layla nodded. "I guess so. Otherwise, I’ve got no idea where she got them from. Mommy must be in big trouble."The reason why Layla sounded so serious was because she was trying to get Elliot to help her mother. She could not bear to let her mother suffer alone.Elliot Foster took his daughter's words to heart. "Don't you worry. I will surely help her. After the funeral, I’ll have a chat with her.."Layla said, "Don't let her know that I'm the one who told you this. She said she wanted to do things herself."Elliot Foster patted his daughter's head and chuckled. "Your mother’s love for isn't in vain.""Of course! I love mommy the most.""Hmm… I thought I heard you say you loved your brother the most the other day." Elliot was teasing her. "Mommy and Hayden are both my favorites!" Layla responded without hesitation."What
