Upon hearing that she had fainted, Avery’s hand involuntarily tightened, his heart and eyes filled with
worry and heartache.
“How is she doing now?”
Violet rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t forget you’ve been unconscious for quite a long time. She’s been
fine for a while now; you don’t need to worry.”
The corner of Avery’s mouth twitched slightly, his clenched fist gradually loosening. He couldn’t quite
put into words the feeling in his heart.
“These days, she has been visiting you every day. She even prescribed medicine for you. Here”
Violet picked up a medicine bottle from the bedside, pouring out its contents. Small white pillsy in the
palm of her hand.
She handed him a ss of water and said, “This is a token of affection from Neenie. You must take
them on time.”
Avery pursed his lips, obediently swallowing the medicine.

The two elders stood off to the side, wanting to speak but appearing hesitant as they were unsure if
they should say anything.
Once again, it was Violet who spoke.
She knew that Avery wouldn’t want to hear what she had to say next, but there were some things in life
that one couldn’t force. Sooner orter, he would learn about it, and heartache would be inevitable.
“A couple of days ago, seeing that your condition was stable, Neenie left the medicine you needed to
take. Then, she and Jean, along with their children, left the Cox family.”
Upon hearing these words, Avery’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply, his expression changing in an
instant, caught between surprise and stiffness./
Hisplexion seemed to have grown even paler.
“Where has she gone? Has she returned to Kingsview?” After an indeterminate amount of time, he
asked softly, his voice low and hoarse.
Violet shook her head. “No, Bartitsu Guild is in chaos right now. Although the Gordon family is safe for
now, they might get involved. Neenje probably can’t ignore it. They just went to District Ten, probably to
rx a bit.”
“District Ten?” Avery was somewhat surprised, a slight frown creasing his brow.
“Yeah. It’s just a visit, so they should be fine. Besides, those from Lordsworth Estate have always been
friendly toward Neenie.”
Be plex.
Avery fell silent, his expression unreadable andplex.
A deep sense of loss, like a surging tide, instantly flooded his heart.
The thought of her happily walking alongside Jean at this moment filled him with uncontroble
sadness and resentment.

Yet, another voice in his heart was saying, This is quite good. The situation in Bartitsu Guild will only
get more chaotic. The conflicts might even escte to their peak, with constant shes. It’s better for
her to stay away from these disputes for now to avoid getting involved.
He didn’t want her to be in any danger.
The two emotions fought for dominance in his heart, eventually reaching a bnce.
At that moment, Ronald said, “Actually, Ms. Garcia left a message before she left. She said that if the
Cox family ever finds themselves in a difficult situation, the Gordon family is always ready to lend a
helping hand.”
Avery responded with a low hum but didn’t say anything else.
Chad and Adriana heard that Avery had woken up, so they specifically made a trip to visit him.
After a day of rest, Avery had regained much of his strength and was able to walk around. Hearing of
their arrival, he took the initiative to go downstairs to greet them.
Upon seeing him, Adriana chided, “Oh dear, you’re so badly hurt. Why won’t you just lie down and
rest? What on earth are you trying to do by getting up?”
Chad also said to him, “Exactly! Why are you being so formal with us?”
Avery smiled. “It’s not that I’m being formal; it’s because we’re close that I made a point toe down.
Besides, I’m fine now. Mr. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon, I’m grateful and very happy that you coulde to
see me.”
Seeing that hisplexion had indeed improved significantly, both of them felt much more at ease.
They walked with him and sat down on the couch.
“You really gave us a scare this time. Thankfully, you’re okay. We’re truly fortunate.”
Avery smiled, his lips slightly pursed. “I owe it all to Neera. Her exceptional medical skills brought me
back from the brink of death. It’s thanks to her that I can sit here safely now.”
The three of them chatted casually for a bit before Chad eventually brought up serious business.
“The Hoffman and Quigley families shouldn’t be a major problem right now. There are plenty of
loopholes, and with any excuse, they can be taken down. However, dealing with the Watson family isn’t
so easy. The head of the Watson family, Keith, has an extraordinary rtionship with Matthew. From
how the Watson family has been able to stay at the top in Bartitsu Guild for so many years, its position
unchallenged, it’s clear he’s not a pushover. If we want to take down the Watson family, I’m afraid it’s
going to take a lot of hard work.”
Avery had already made up his mind a long time ago.
“Even if ites down to a fight to the death, the Cox family will not back down. Over the years, the
Watson family has repeatedly caused trouble. As long as it didn’t involve major interests, the Cox
family has always turned a blind eye, keeping things quiet for the sake of the guild. But this time, since
they want my life, I see no reason to continue showing mercy.”
Chad understood. “Of course. Constant tolerance doesn’t lead to restraint but rather to recklessness.
It’s indeed time to deal with the Watson family, but have you thought of a n yet?”
After a brief silence, Avery spoke in an indifferent tone. “I’ve been hearing about the underhanded
dealings of the Watson family over the years, and I’ve even obtained some evidence. They thought
they had left no traces behind, but they’ve actually exposed their own shorings. I’ve already
instructed my subordinates topile the evidence and gather more information. When the time
comes, I’ll leave the Watson family unable to refute a thing!
