Chapter 990


    Elliot felt his chest tighten, then roared," Avery! Stay right where you are! I''ll send the bodyguards to go


    get you and the kids!"


    If Avery had not brought it up, Elliot would never have expected that Chelsea could have possibly


    escaped to Avonsville.


    Sometimes, the most dangerous ces could end up being the safest refuge.


    Moreover, Chelsea might not be thinking about going into hiding right now, but to drag whoever she


    could down with her before she dies!


    Elliot was still unclear about what happened at La''s school, but it must have been something serious


    for the teachers to ask the parents to take the children home!


    Avery''s heart raced wildly after hearing his warning.


    The stop light in front of her turned green, and she was in a rush to pick La up from school, so she


    could not listen to Elliot.


    "I should be fine. If Chelsea really doese looking for me, she might not be able to harm me." Avery


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    had already made up her mind. "I’m about to reach La''s school. I''ll pick her up first."


    Elliot was also worried about La, so he understood her anxiety.


    "Be careful."


    "I will."


    Avery hung up the phone, then stepped down on the gas pedal and sped toward her destination.


    There were several patrol cars and an ambnce outside of Avonsville Elementary.


    Avery parked the car by the street, then quickly got out and rushed toward the school gates.


    "I heard a child died... A first-grader... A girl


    "How did she die? Was she sick or did something happen?"


    "I don’t know! Let''s wait for the school to let us know! I’m just worried my kid’s too traumatized toe


    back to school now. It’s terrifying!"


    "I heard that the kid who died was from ss C. Are any of you parents of students from ss C? Do


    any of you have insider information?"


    "My kid isn''t from ss C, but they''re in ss B next door. It''s so unlucky that all the other ssrooms


    need to stop sses because of this! We don''t think when sses will resume yet!"


    "What''s so unlucky about sses being canceled? The dead kid''s family are the unlucky ones!"


    Avery’s entire body turned cold =f,>ULV< rigid after she heard the discussions going on around her.


    La was a first-grader in ss C.


    The little girl who died was possibly La’s ymate. Even if she was not, she was a ssmate that


    she saw every day.


    This must be a massive blow to La!


    When the teacher handed La over to Avery, she exined the situation to her," The little girl who


    died today was called Kiki, Miss Tate. La was having lunch with her today. Something happened to


    Kiki before she finished her food. Our initial suspicions are food poisoning. Kiki s health report was


    normal when she first enrolled in the school and she had no severe illnesses. You should take La to


    the hospital for a checkup right now to see if there are any issues with her health."


    Avery nodded and said, "Alright. I''ll take her to the hospital now."


    Then, she carried La, whose eyes were red and swollen from tears, out of the school.


    La normally had neverending stories to tell Avery whenever she saw her, but La did not say a


    word even now that she was sitting in the child safety seat in the car.


    She did not even call Avery "Mommy" when she saw her.


    Avery sat down next to her daughter, then asked softly, "Tell me, La. Are you not feeling well


    anywhere?"


    La froze for a moment, then shook her head.


    "I know you suffered a great shock. I have, too. Once the school and hospital finish their investigation,


    they''ll let us know exactly why Kiki left us," Avery said patiently as she held her daughter''s cold hand.


    La''s eyes filled with tears, which rolled down her cheeks as she said, "Kiki died from eating cherries.


    She ate my cherries... The cherries must have been poisoned!"
