Chapter 917


    Mrs. Cooper thought for a while before replying, "For a few years already. When I started working for


    the Fosters, I was not even thirty years old yet! I''m already forty-five. I can retire in about five years."


    "Mrs. Scarlet has worked there longer than you?"


    "Yes! She used to care for Madam Rosalie. Later, when Elliot and Shea were born, she helped take


    care of them," Mrs. Cooper said, "I heard this from Mrs. Scarlet."


    "Elliot told me about the incident when he was young," Avery was a little depressed, so she wanted to


    talk about it with


    someone. "I never thought that he would be so depressed when he was young." "What did he tell you?"


    Mrs. Cooper said in surprise.


    "Hmm, he came clean and told me everything." Avery looked at Mrs. Cooper." So that I won''t


    misunderstand him again."


    Mrs. Cooper suddenly choked up. "Avery, don''t me him for telling you this only now. It was so hard


    for him to have his achievements today. God must have pitied him, which cured him of the mental


    condition he had when he was young. If not, he would have ended up like Shea."


    Avery waspletely stunned!


    She heard every word that Mrs. Cooper said, but she did not understand it!


    "No, Mr. Foster is different from Shea. Mrs. Scarlet said that when his father was still alive, he valued


    boys over girls. Although Mr. Foster''s father did not like him, he would not hit him. He would only hit


    Shea because Shea was a girl. Shea would cry for a very long time after being hit. Mr.


    Foster''s father would hate Shea even more. " At that, tears fell from Mrs. Cooper''s eyes.


    Avery was shocked. Her eyes widened. " Elliot had the same condition as Shea when he was young?!"


    Mrs. Cooper’s expressions stiffened. "Didn''t you say that Mr. Foster told you everything? Could it be..."


    "He didn''t tell me this!" Avery took a deep breath. "He said that he killed his father because of Shea..."


    "What! Mr. Foster killed his father!?" When Mrs. Cooper heard this, she was so shocked she almost


    lost her bnce.


    Avery immediately took Robert from her ;e *?YLW: ced him on the bed before helping Mrs. Cooper


    to a seat by the side. "Don''t you know about this?" Avery''s face was burning hot. Her heart was beating


    wildly too.


    What should she do? She had exposed Elliot''s secret!


    She did not know that Mrs. Cooper did not know about this incident! Just like how Mrs. Cooper did not


    know that she did not know Elliot had the same condition as Shea when he was young!


    It was as if the world had gone mad.


    "Avery, don''t worry. I won''t tell another soul about Mr. Foster''s matters.” Mrs.


    Cooper quickly calmed down. "Although Mrs. Scarlet and I are close, she knows how to judge for


    herself. She knows what to say and what not to say. I will guard this secret till my death. Don’t worry."


    Avery nodded. Her tensed body rxed a little. "If Elliot did not trust you, he would not have let you


    serve him for so many years." "Yes, I have long treated the Fosters as my home away from home. If


    Mr. Foster is doing well, I''m doing well." Mrs. Cooper finished her sentence and realized that she had


    misspoken. "That was the past. I am with you now, of course, I''ll listen to you."


    "It''s fine. Elliot and I are not enemies." Avery sat down on the bed. Her mind was thinking fast. "Are you


    sure he had the same condition as Shea when he was young?"

    Mrs. Cooper nodded. "Mrs. Scarlet told me about it. She said that they hired a great doctor to cure


    him."


    "Then, why didn''t they cure Shea?" Avery thought that this matter was exaggerated. If there really was


    such a great neurologist, why has she never heard about it from Professor Hough before?


    "Shea''s condition was much more serious because she was often violently beaten by her father. Mrs.


    Scarlet said that it was not easy for Shea to grow up." Mrs. Cooper paused for a while. "It''s


    understandable why Mr. Foster killed his father! If he did not do so, Shea would have long died."


    After chatting with Mrs. Cooper, Avery went to the graveyard to visit Shea. She ced a bouquet of


    white lilies in front of Shea''s headstone. She looked at Shea''s photo on the headstone and said softly,"


    Shea, I miss you so much. I should havee to visit you earlier, but because I took in a patient with


    your condition in Bridgedale, it got dyed. By the way, he has some simrities with you."


    At that, Avery pursed her lips and stayed silent.


    She could not understand how Elliot had the same condition as Shea but he waspletely cured!


    From her medical point of view, this was something impossible.


    Did something go wrong in between?
