    “Vou found Shea, didn’t you?” He frowned and proposed another n. “It’s fine if you don’t want to kill


    Adrian, but just in case, I’ll kill Nathan’s family.”


    Avery was speechless.


    She could not ept what he proposed because she did not want him to kill anyone.


    “You haven’t recovered from your cold yet, Elliot. You need to rest. Don’t worry about him. I’ll get the


    bodyguards to keep watch over him in the hospital so Nathan can’t get close to him for now.” She


    lowered her eyes and persuaded softly, “We’ll try and find another way once you’ve recovered.”


    “Avoiding a problem won’t solve it, Avery.” Elliot’s voice was cold. “He cannot live under the same sun as


    me.”


    “Why not? Adrian won’t take anything from you. He’s just like Shea-someone whose status is probably


    less than that of a random person on the street. Were you going to kill Shea too if she was alive?” Avery


    questioned him with a frown.


    “You’re being unreasonable. Shea’s dead, so there’s no basis for your question,” he retorted.


    “Who are you calling unreasonable? Did Adrian do anything wrong? Why can’t you tolerate his


    existence?” Avery knew for a long time that she and Elliot would have to eventually face that problem.


    However, she did not expect him to be that determined.


    “He did nothing wrong. I’m the one who was wrong!” His face was gloomy. “I took his life and I don’t n


    on giving it back to him for the rest of my life!”


    “I never said you were wrong, Elliot.” She took a deep, agonized breath. “You didn’t choose your life. You


    were a victim too.”


    He lifted the quilt and got off the bed.


    She watched him stride into the bathroom and felt a dull pain in her heart.


    She might not be able to convince him, because there was probably no better way to settle the problem.


    Elliot was right, after all. If they hid Adrian, Nathan would go all out to find him, the quest of which would


    last for as long as Nathan was still breathing.


    Either one of Adrian or Nathan had to die, or else things could turn from bad to worse at any time! During


    breakfast, Mrs. Scarlet secretly observed the two of them backed away.


    It appeared that the conflict between them had not yet been resolved.


    After she left, Avery opened her mouth and initiated a conversation. “I’ve been thinking, Elliot. If Adrian is


    discovered, the worst that could happen is that your background would be exposed. But why does it


    matter that you’re not the Fosters’ young master? It doesn’t affect yourpany’s operations at all.”


    “You’re right when you say that it won’t affect mypany, but it’ll also expose my murder of Eason.”


    Avery felt choked for a moment. “But you were underage at the time, so you will neither be charged for


    murder nor sentenced to death.”


    “Do you have any idea how cruel it is that you said that, Avery?” He put down his cutlery and had an


    ashen face. “I don’t want any outsiders to know about my history and my underage murder! But now


    you’re forcing me to face them!”


    “I never forced you to face them. I just…” She sighed and put down her cutlery too. “Please just don’t kill


    anyone, okay? You had no choice when you killed Eason, but it’s not as if you have no choice right now.”


    “You can leave now!” he felt a splitting headacheing on and said hoarsely. “I want to be alone for a


    while.”


    She felt empty inside when he got up from the dining chair and left the dining room.


    Thest thing she wanted was for him to suffer, but she was very much aware that she was the one who


    brought upon him that very suffering.


    Without her, he could do whatever he wanted without anyone objecting to him, and no one would be able


    to threaten him anymore. Avery continued to sit for a moment beforeing out of the dining room and


    leaving the house.
