Chapter 282
It was a call from Chad.
"Mike said that there used to be a malignant tumor in his brain. When it got serious, he would pass out
and lose consciousness. It was Professor Hough that removed his tumor," said Chad.
Elliot said, "He still did not mention why he was working together with Avery?"
"He did. He said he likes drones. Avery possessed a system that Jack Tate invented. After he perfected
Jack''s system, he was very satisfied with it, so he joined up with Avery and started apany
together."
The answer was wless.
After the call, Elliot headed back to the restaurant.
Although he resented Wanda, he was asking a favor from Zoe, so he had to show some respect to the
woman.
After he entered the restaurant, Zoe immediately walked over to him and said, "Elliot, I''m sorry. This is
the first time I''m meeting Wanda. I did not know that she was Avery''s stepmother. I rarely talk to my
father, so he didn''t tell me about this beforehand either."
After listening to her exnation, Elliot strode over to the table and sat down.
"Hello, Richard," said Elliot to Zoe''s father. As for
Wanda, he treated her as if she were nothing more than a passing breeze.
"Hello, Elliot." Richard smiled awkwardly. "I''m sorry, I''ve been abroad for a long time, and I have never
discussed the past with Wanda, so I didn''t know that you two have history."
"It''s fine. Avery and I are divorced," Elliot said calmly.
Wanda could see that Elliot had a problem with her. She thought for a while before saying, "Elliot, I am
very sorry about what happened in the past. I''ve also called Avery and apologized to her already. I
offered her seven hundred million, but she didn''t want to ept it."
Elliot''s eyes swept over Wanda.
Zoe eximed in surprise, "You have seven hundred million dors?!"
The amount was enormous!
She never thought that Wanda would have so much money.
"I don''t have that much money, but if I mortgage mypany, it would be enough to gather this
amount. I did it to show my sincerity,"mented Wanda. "I
hoped to reconcile with Avery, but it''s not going well."
Zoe saw how dark Elliot''s expression was, so she said, "Wanda, let''s not talk about this." "Okay, I''ll
stop," Wanda knowingly stopped talking.
Returning from the meal, Elliot was even more determined that he should not follow Zoe''s advice.
If Avery knew that Wanda was Zoe''s father''s current girlfriend and possibly even Zoe''s future
stepmother, Avery would stop contacting him.
Shea suddenly walked over and hugged him. Elliot felt his sister''s warmth and how much she relied on
him. His chest felt tight. Although she showed more intelligence than before, she still could not take
care of herself.
It was almost New Year''s. After that, she would begin the next stage of her treatment. He was looking
forward to that.
However, tonight''s meeting with Wanda disgusted him. As long as he and Zoe were so-called lovers,
then they might still have a second meal, third meal, and so forth with Wanda.
"Shea, do you like Dr. Sanford?" Elliot held Shea''s hand and sat down on the sofa.
Shea pursed her lips. Her bright eyes looked at Elliot. She did not like Zoe, but she knew that Zoe was
her brother''s girlfriend.
"What about you?" Shea had learned how to answer a question with one of her own.

Elliot shook his head and exined, "I need her to treat you. Shea, she could cure you."
Upon hearing how he did not like Zoe, Shea got bolder. "Avery can treat me too!"
Elliot furrowed his brows. He realized that things were not as simple as they seem!
"Shea, has Avery treated you before?"
She pursed her lips and nodded.
Elliot ced his hands on her shoulders. He studied her with his dark eyes. "When has she treated
you? Was it when you were lost?"
When Shea was around, she always had a nanny to look after her. Elliot could keep track of Shea all
day. Thus, it was easy for him to figure out that Shea had met Avery only when she went missing!
