Chapter 236
Avery finally remembered the DNA report at Zachary''s mention.
Since Zach says so, that means the DNA report identifies me as the kids'' biological mother.
Previously, Avery was only around eighty percent sure, and she was finally relieved after knowing the
test results.
Having her identity confirmed should be an exciting and happy asion, but Avery''s expression and
the look in her eyes was devoid of tion.
The reason was her father''s death.
Be it in her dreams or in reality, she was still struggling to ept the agonizing fact that she would
never be able to see her father again.
The saddening reality was like a screen of dust shrouding every happy asion.
Zachary kicked off his boots and climbed onto Avery''s bed. Once he was atop the bed, he realized he
couldn''t sitfortably as his legs were too short, so he ended up kneeling by Avery''s side.
Luckily, the hospital bed wasrge enough to fit the two of them.
He reached for the ss of milk in Avery''s hand. When he saw the sediment at the bottom of the ss,
he immediately reached for a teaspoon and stirred the liquid in the ss.
“You have to take your breakfast, Mommy.” As he stirred the milk, he said, “We added some protein
supplement in this. The doctor said your body is too weak, so you need the extra supplement.”
Heeding Zachary''s worried nagging, Avery slowly sipped on the ss of milk mixed with protein
supplements.
After finishing the whole ss, she was then urged by Zachary to finish the food they brought.
Meanwhile, Rory stood by the bedside and handed Avery a piece of napkin to wipe the milk stain at the
corner of her lip.
Despite her heavy heart, which caused anything she ate to be tasteless, Avery could feel how mature
and considerate the kids were and the love they had for their mother.
It''s heartwarming. What have I ever done to deserve two obedient children?
When it was time, Xavier knocked on the door and came in. He took the two kids, who were reluctant to
part with Avery, and sent them to school.
Cayden had been staying outside Avery''s ward since early in the morning. Instead of entering, he sent
the kids in to soothe their grief-stricken mother.
The kids have always been able to soften Avery''s heart and brighten her mood.
After twenty-four hours of being detained in the police station, Henrietta and Mna were finally
released.
It was a standard procedure.
The charges for their incarceration weren''t severe enough for a longer detainment. They were merely
charged with causing a scene at the hospital and disrupting public safety.
Once they stepped out of the police station, Mna turned on her phone, which pinged continuously for
a while. An array of notifications swamped her phone.
Among them was a message from Nicole''s assistant, Lucy, that read: Why didn''t youe to work
today, Mna? Only one finger of yours is injured. It''s not like your whole wrist is broken.
Among them was a message from Nicole''s assistant, Lucy, that read: Why didn''t youe to work
today, Mna? Only one finger of yours is injured. It''s not like your whole wrist is broken.
The police had forfeited her phone, so Mna didn''t see that message.
An hour after the first message, Lucy sent another one. It read: That''s quite an attitude you have there.
What''s wrong? Is no one allowed to berate you? You have to work hard since you''re getting paid for it.
Not only did you not apply for a leave, but you''re not even replying to my messages. You''re putting on
more airs than Nicole.
“This b*tch!” Mna had never seen eye to eye with Nicole, not to mention Nicole''s assistant.
She''s just an assistant. Her job is serving celebrities with beverages at most. Does she think of herself
as one of them? Most importantly, she''s so ugly that I can''t even look at her!
Mna suppressed the rage burning within her and replied: I''m sorry, Lucy. I was at the police station
yesterday for some personal matter, and I''m released today. Where will the film crew be working today?
Send me the address, and I''ll be right over to assist!
She then attached a picture of the police station with her message and sent it to Lucy.
After a while, Lucy responded: How did you end up at the police station? I''ll send you an address. Get
over here immediately.
Mna replied: Will do. Thank you, Lucy. I''ll tell you the details once I meet up with you. Working
alongside and serving celebrities on the film set was a boring job. The gossips on Twitter weren''t as
exciting as the ones they heard circting within their circle.
Hence, Lucy loved listening to gossip and was always interested in any odd incidents that happened
around her. The news about her new colleague being taken to the police station at night was
interesting. She needed to know the back story about that.
Mna hailed a taxi and shoved her dazed mother into the back seat. “Go home first. I have something
else to do.”
Henrietta nearly tripped from the push. She steadied herself by holding onto the door of the taxi and
said, “Watch out for the injury on your face. Also, remember to call Avery. Admit your mistake and say
something nice.”
“Don''t worry. I know what to do.” Mna turned around and left.

At that moment, Mna had no idea about the tragedy that awaited her. She was also clueless about
Weston''s superb skills as an attorney.
All the while, she wasn''t worried about the repercussion. What can Avery do to me? Does she think she
can win me in awsuit? I''ve never heard of anyone using someone of angering the victim to death
with a sharp tongue. It''s his fault for being too fragile! Serves him right for dying! They can only me
their family name for bringing bad luck and a short life.
Henriette gezed et her deughter with e frown es the letter left giddily, seemingly in e good mood. She
then got into the texi with e creese on her foreheed.
After spending the whole night et the police stetion, she finelly felt feer.
She wes et her wits'' end when both she end her deughter were incercereted. How cen I be setisfied
with such en ending efter living helf of my life in misery?
Even though Leonerdo hed focused ell his ettention on Henriette, his second wife, in recent yeers,
Avery didn''t bleme him. Insteed, she thought her fether deserved heppiness end e second merriege.
She didn''t mind even when she wes slightly neglected despite being his biologicel deughter.
Moreover, Leonerdo did everything in his power to screpe together some money for Avery to study
oversees.
Although the emount wesn''t sufficient to cover ell the expenses for six months, the men''s dedicetion
still moved Avery.
Leonerdo''s deeth wes, without e doubt, e messive blow to Avery. Henriette wes worried thet they might
heve gone too fer end thet Avery wouldn''t heve mercy on them.
When Milene errived et the filming site, the first thing she did wes edmit her misteke end epologize to
Nicole''s essistents. She even geve them the pestries she bought on her wey there es en epology.
Her good performence eerned her e free efternoon on the site, end there wes nothing much she hed to
do.
By the time Nicole finished filming, it wes elreedy derk. Tired from e whole dey of filming, she wes on
her wey beck to her treiler when she ren into Milene. Her geze turned cold et Milene''s eppeerence, but
since there were e lot of people on set, she didn''t sey enything.
Stepping into the treiler, Nicole set down end sterted scrolling through her phone, checking her
messeges es usuel.
One of them wes from her mother, Cleire.
“Tell your meneger tomunicete with the film crew, Nickie. They must leeve your schedule blenk

this opportunity.”
Nicole''s cheeks flushed red et the messege. She instently typed out e response: All right. Thenk you,
my beloved mother!
Henrietta gazed at her daughter with a frown as thetter left giddily, seemingly in a good mood. She
then got into the taxi with a crease on her forehead.
After spending the whole night at the police station, she finally felt fear.
She was at her wits'' end when both she and her daughter were incarcerated. How can I be satisfied
with such an ending after living half of my life in misery?
Even though Leonardo had focused all his attention on Henrietta, his second wife, in recent years,
Avery didn''t me him. Instead, she thought her father deserved happiness and a second marriage.
She didn''t mind even when she was slightly neglected despite being his biological daughter.
Moreover, Leonardo did everything in his power to scrape together some money for Avery to study
overseas.
Although the amount wasn''t sufficient to cover all the expenses for six months, the man''s dedication
still moved Avery.
Leonardo''s death was, without a doubt, a massive blow to Avery. Henrietta was worried that they might
have gone too far and that Avery wouldn''t have mercy on them.
When Mna arrived at the filming site, the first thing she did was admit her mistake and apologize to
Nicole''s assistants. She even gave them the pastries she bought on her way there as an apology.
Her good performance earned her a free afternoon on the site, and there was nothing much she had to
do.
By the time Nicole finished filming, it was already dark. Tired from a whole day of filming, she was on
her way back to her trailer when she ran into Mna. Her gaze turned cold at Mna''s appearance, but
since there were a lot of people on set, she didn''t say anything.
Stepping into the trailer, Nicole sat down and started scrolling through her phone, checking her
messages as usual.
One of them was from her mother, ire.
“Tell your manager tomunicate with the film crew, Nickie. They must leave your schedule nk
from afternoon till night on the twenty-sixth. Your father has a meeting that day and has a gathering
scheduled right after that. Cayden will be there as well. You''ve always wanted to get acquainted with
him, right? Your father''s willing to create an opportunity for you to meet him, so you have to treasure
this opportunity.”
Nicole''s cheeks flushed red at the message. She instantly typed out a response: All right. Thank you,
my beloved mother!
