Chapter 629
Elliot was in a daze looking at Averying out. Before he could think of anything, his body already
took a step toward her.
He picked her up in his arms and strode back indoors.
Although Avery had only been in the rain for a few seconds, her face was wet from the rain . or perhaps
it was tears!
"Avery, I''m not suspecting you. You said you didn''t do it, that means you didn''t do it. " Elliot ced
Avery down on the sofa. He bent down and exined patiently, "Zoe is so sure that you harmed her. If
she reported it to the police, the police would surelye looking for you. I don''t want you to be
questioned like a criminal. If we can find an alibi for you beforehand, the police won''t need toe to
look for you anymore."
Avery looked at Elliot''s wet and wretched look. She could not get angry.
"I went to look for Wesley today," Avery’s voice had no emotions in them. "I was at his house the entire
day."
"You were in his house the entire day?" The tenderness in Elliot''s eyes instantly vanished. His tone was
obviously more nervous.
"Yes. Are you going to ask what I was doing in his house?" Avery''s clear eyes saw the changes on his
face. Her heart hurt. "This is my private matter. I can’t tell you."
Elliot felt as if he was ambushed in the dark. He secretly let out a pained muffled grunt.
Wesley and she were doing things in private that even he could not be told about.
Elliot''s body was so cold he shivered. When he got up, his gaze at her was a little disappointed and
disheartened. He clenched his fists tightly and soon vanished from her sight.
This time, he left. He left without looking back.
At one in the morning, Mike''s car drove into the courtyard. After Mike paid the driver, the fumbled to get
out of the car.
When he was by the entrance, he noticed that the huge door was opened. Amp was turned on in the
living area. Avery was lying on the sofa like a lifeless corpse!
"Avery!" Mike was instantly sobered.
He quickly ran to the sofa and pressed his hands on her cheeks. He was burned by the temperature of
her body.
"Bloody hell! How did she have a fever?" Mike was instantly frantic. He did not know what to do.
She was a pregnant woman at that moment, he did not dare to let her take any medication.
He found a cooling pad from the room where they stored medicine ;g'':TIU: ced it on her forehead.
Then, he called Elliot.
"Avery is having a fever! I don''t know what I should do! Should I call the ambnce, or should I send
her to the hospital?" Mike did not dare to simply move her about. He was afraid that something might
happen to the child in her tummy.
Elliot gripped his phone tighter. He wanted to go care for her immediately, but when he thought about
the things that she told him that night, his heart hurt so badly that he turned sinister. "Go get Wesley!"
"Oh? Oh!" Mike was in a daze for a while before hanging up and calling Wesley.
In less than half an hour, Wesley rushed over with his medical suitcase. Mike returned to his room
because Wesley was there to care for Avery.
Soon, dawn came.
Avery opened her eyes and the things that happened the night before flooded her mind.
Zoe''s eyes had been gouged. She said that she was the one who did it. Zoe even said that she heard
her voice when it happened.
To prove a person is guilty, one must produce evidence of a crime! Zoe would never be able to produce
any evidence that says that she was guilty!
Elliot made her produce evidence that she was not guilty. Legally speaking, she did not need to do that,
so she could not just ept this.
In the afternoon, Elliot received a call from the captain of the police station.
"Mr. Foster, Avery was apanied by a male friend just now. She came in to hand in evidence other

whereabouts yesterday. I had a look. She was at her male friend''s house the entire day. Zoe''s incident
most likely has nothing to do with her. But..." The captain hesitated for a bit before continuing, "Mr.
Foster, Miss Tate''s rtionship with this male friend doesn''t seem that simple."
