Chapter 301


    "I''ll send more men over. They will be on twenty-four hour guard duty," said the captain before changing


    the topic, "I hear your girlfriend is pregnant.


    Congrattions!"


    "I don''t like kids." Elliot''s face darkened a little. His tone turned cold too. "If there are any updates on


    the case, inform me at once."


    The captain nodded. "Okay. How is Miss Tate? She was not too well yesterday. I wonder how she is


    today."


    Elliot''s gaze darkened. His lips thinned into a tight line. He got up from the sofa and left. He could not


    answer that question.


    He had been outside the operation theater the previous night, but his mother had called him, and he


    did not go in.


    Zoe''s pregnancy had be an obstacle in his mind. He could barely face it, let alone face Avery. 4


    Avery slept the afternoon away in the ward. She slowly opened her eyes. Before grief could enter her


    mind, she heard Hayden say, "Mommy, I''ll go to whichever school you want me to go to."


    Then, she heard La''s soft but hoarse voice," Mommy, I will behave too. Can you wake up soon?


    Please?"


    La had been crying nonstop, so her eyes were red. Her voice was hoarse too.


    Avery''s eyelids fluttered. She could not bear to hear that voice. She immediately sat up and grabbed

    her children''s hands.


    "I''m fine. I was only tired, so I slept." Then, Avery got down from the bed. "Let''s go home!" 1


    She had only just stood up when Mike came forward and hugged her.


    "Avery, you still have your two children and me. I will never betray you. As long as you need me, I will


    never leave you."


    Mike rarely has such serious moments. 2


    Avery ced her chin on his shoulder. She took in a breath and said, "Let''s go home! I miss home."


    Shea was sitting in the living room of Elliot''s mansion. He had not returned for three days, and she


    refused to return to her room. Mrs. Cooper was sitting next to her, keeping herpany.


    "Does he not want me anymore?" Shea''s voice suddenly broke through the silence in the living area.


    "That''s impossible." Mrs. Cooper held Shea''s hand. " Master Elliot has gone to Starry River Vi."


    ording to the bodyguards, Elliot would go to the Starry River Vi every night, staying outside her


    door


    till dawn arrived, then, he would leave.


    "He went to look for Avery?" Shea''s voice rose in pitch. "I want him to be with Avery."


    Mrs. Cooper sighed. "He can''t be with Avery."


    "Why not?" Shea''s eyes sparkled brightly, yet they looked so lost.


    Mrs. Cooper was extremely sad as she thought of how Avery had lost her mother, and how Elliot has


    been standing guard outside her door every night, wanting to see her, and yet, unable to.


    "It''s because of your condition. Dr. Sanford is treating you, and she used that to force Master Elliot to


    be with her. She told him that if he did not stay with her, she would not treat you. Master Elliot needs to


    be with Dr. Sanford," said Mrs. Cooper, her voice breaking slightly. "Shea, do you understand me?"


    Shea shook her head in a daze. "Please repeat it."


    Mrs. Cooper took a deep breath and repeated it once again. This time, Shea roughly understood.


    "I don''t want to get better anymore," said Shea, her eyes sparkling. She clenched her hands into fists.


    She kept muttering, "I''m not getting better..."
