Chapter 177


    It was the best way to avoid Zoe asking for other types of repayment. Giving arge sum of money was


    the best solution.


    Zoe was shocked, "Mr. Foster, please don''t. Shea''s condition needs more than one surgery. You should


    know that even though her intelligence has improved, it has only improved a little. After she recovers

    from this operation, if you want to continue giving her the treatment, there may be a second, third, or


    more operations in the future."


    As Elliot listened to Zoe''s exnation, he kept silent. Zoe was here on her annual leave. She might not


    have so much time in the future.


    "Doctor Sanford, what''s your future n for your career?" Elliot asked.


    Without a doubt, Elliot would want to continue the treatment for Shea. If her IQ could allow her to take


    care of herself, that would be the best.


    Zoe understood why Elliot asked such a question. He wanted to continue treating Shea but Zoe might


    not have the time to stay in Avonsville in the future. 1


    Zoe answered, "Mr. Foster. To be honest, I am at a stage where I feel lost. I am 34 this year but I


    haven''t had a rtionship, ever. My family is extremely anxious about this. So my career is not the


    most


    important factor at the moment."


    As if Zoe had not expressed herself directly, she wanted to be blunt and said to Elliot that he would just


    need to marry her to repay her or for her to continue treating Zoe. 4


    Elliot frowned.


    "Miss Sanford, I can introduce a boyfriend to you," said Elliot after he hesitated for a moment.


    Zoe felt a little disappointed. However, she said with a face, "I didn''t expect you to say such things."


    "Because I need you to continue treating Zoe," Elliot said frankly, "I will never get married again in my


    life." 1


    Zoe looked at Elliot''s handsome face and was attracted by it.


    "Mr. Foster, I don''t necessarily need to be married to someone. I think hardly any women who have


    been in contact with you could easily fall for other men. Why don''t we be together as a couple? Then


    my family won''t bother me anymore and I can concentrate on studying Shea''s case." Zoe suggested. 1


    Zoe had discovered Elliot''s weakness and that was Shea''s illness. She wondered since Elliot would


    spend such a huge amount of money to cure Shea, it was not too much to ask to be Elliot''s girlfriend.


    Unless Elliot did not want to continue treating Shea. Zoe was forcing him to make a choice. Before


    Elliot could find another doctor to treat Shea, he could only


    continue to be threatened by Zoe. 3


    At the Tate Industries, Avery had just finished her morning meeting. She was back in her office when


    her secretary entered the room.


    "President Tate, Mr. Locklyn from Golden Technologies is here to see you. He used to work as the Vice


    President of ourpany," the secretary reported.


    Avery did not have a good impression of Shaun. When Tate Industries went bankrupt, Shaun had the


    nerve to call her specifically and cursed her to hell. Avery strode into the meeting room.


    Shaun stood up and walked to Avery, "Avery, it has been a while since Ist saw you. You are getting


    more and more beautiful."


    Averybed her hair with her finger and put it behind her ear. She said concisely, "Why are you here


    today?"


    Shaunughed, "You have offered to pay double the sries in an attempt to recruit all of the former


    employees back. It has made Tate Industries the talk of the town. I wonder if I cane back too?"


    Avery raised her eyebrows and said, "No."


    The smile on Shaun''s face disappeared. He thought Avery would have considered it and not be so


    frank.


    "I was just asking for fun. I am doing alright at Golden


    Technologies," said Shaun as he tried to recuperate some of his image.


    Avery asked, "Then why are you here?"


    Shaun stuttered, "I just came to visit."


    Avery mocked, "Do you think Tate Industries is a zoo, or a cafe?"


    Shaun got angry and left. Avery went back to her office without being affected by Shaun''s actions. Her


    phone rang as she sat down and wanted to drink her water. She put down the ss of water to pick up


    her phone.


    "Avery! Elliot is in a rtionship with the doctor!" Tammy said angrily, "I don''t get it. Wasn''t Shea the


    woman he loved the most? Why is he with another person then?"
