Chapter 1108


    When Avery entered the drugstore, she saw the familiar silhouette sh by and enter the bathroom.


    She turned back anxiously to check if Elliot noticed anything.


    He was waiting for her at the drugstore''s entrance at first, but when Avery turned back, she saw him


    walking into the store.


    She instantly felt nervous and uneasy, but maintained herposure.


    For some reason, she was afraid of letting Elliot see Wesley.


    Apart from what Elliot had said about wanting to see Wesley but being afraid of actually finding him,


    Avery had a feeling that there would be an unavoidable


    altercation if the two men met.


    "I''d like some medication for bruises and some painkillers. Please also get me a bottle of iodine," Avery


    said to the store clerk once Elliot was standing behind her.


    Elliot raised his brows and asked, "Why are you buying so much medicine?"


    "I want to try out the medicine here." Avery forced a smile. "What if their medicine is good?"


    "You’re using me as a guinea pig."


    "It’s not like I''m making you take any of it. What are you worried about?" Avery paid attention to the


    bathroom from the corner of her eye but said to Elliot, "Go and pay."


    Elliot pulled out his wallet and walked toward the cashier.


    Once he was gone, Avery''s phone buzzed Her text message notifications had no ringtone and were set


    to vibrate mode.


    in her purse.


    She immediately pulled out her phone and saw a text from an unknown number.


    [I don''t know how to face the two of you yet, Avery. Please give me some more time!]


    The calmness on Avery''s face instantly vanished the moment she read the message.


    There was no name in the text, but she knew it was Wesley!


    The familiar silhouette that she saw earlier was Wesley.


    He was now in the bathroom of the drugstore she was standing in.


    They were merely separated by a wall.


    If she did not care about Wesley''s feelings, she would lead Elliot to the bathroom and drag Wesley out


    of there!


    However, she could not be that heartless.


    Wesley had once almost sacrificed his life for her. She had never forgotten her rtionship with


    Wesley.


    Besides, Wesley had only drawn Shea''s blood to save Robert!


    Would Wesley had taken such a risk if Robert was not Avery’s child?


    Avery could not help but feel close to tears every time she thought of Wesley >f-?RJX: the things he


    had done for her sake.


    She quickly sent him a reply: [Stay hidden. I won''t be able to hold Elliot back if he sees you]


    After she sent the text, Elliot had just paid


    the bill and was walking toward her with the bag of medicine.


    "Let’s bring this stuff back to the hotel," he suggested.


    Avery quicklyposed herself, then shed him a smile and said, "Sure. Didn''t you say that you were


    going to be my personal photographer? Let''s go buy a new camerater."


    "Alright. Why are your eyes red?" Elliot gazed in confusion at her reddened eyes. " What''s wrong?"


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    When the two of them exited the store, Avery nced at the bushes of flowers by the street and simply


    came up with an excuse. "My eyes are a little itchy. Maybe I''m allergic to something."


    "Should we get some medication for that?" Elliot stopped in his tracks. "Let''s get some antihistamines!


    What if it gets worse?"


    "It probably won''t get worse than this. Wait here for me. I''ll pop in and get some eye drops."


    Avery turned back into the store and bought a bottle of eye drops.


    Then, they returned to the hotel where the butler sent up their afternoon tea.


    They were in the honeymoon suite which came with a personal butler. Their stay had been pleasant so


    far.


    Things were much cheaper here than in Aryadelle, but it did not lose infort and quality.


    While they enjoyed their afternoon tea, they both took out their phones at the same time.
