Chapter 1114


    Avery felt like all the energy was sucked out of her body and she almost lost her bnce.


    She had specifically told Wesley that afternoon that Elliot was looking for him. If he did not want to face


    Elliot, then why did he not hide better?


    She closely examined Elliot''s face to see if there were any new injuries.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Elliot led Avery over to sit on the bed. "I took Wesley''s postcard


    to the local post office earlier and asked the staff there to check the surveince cameras based on the


    date and time that the postcard was mailed. They just contacted me and told me that they found


    footage of the sender, so I headed over and saw Wesley."


    His exnation was a huge relief to Avery.


    "So, when you said you saw Wesley, you meant that you saw him in surveince footage?"


    "Yes. Did you think I actually saw him in real life? If that was the case, then I wouldn''te back here


    by myself, would I?" Elliot tapped Avery lightly on the head." Why are you in a daze?"


    Avery let out a light chuckle. "Maybe it''s because I really wanted to see Wesley, so my first reaction to


    what you said was that you really met him in person."


    "If I met him in person, I would definitely bring him over here for us to meet him together." Then, Elliot


    revealed his reason and said, "Otherwise, I''m worried I won''t be able to stop myself from punching him


    in the face if we''re alone." "Don''t me him anymore, alright, Elliot? If it weren''t for him, Robert


    would’ve died prematurely. While he was helping Robert, there was no way for him to predict that


    something bad would happen to Shea. He wouldn''t purposely exchange Shea''s life for Robert''s. He''s


    not that kind of person," Avery pleaded as she held Elliot''s hands in hers.


    As Elliot gazed at her sincere expression, his Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat." Which is why I said I


    would take him here to meet you. My reason tells me that I shouldn''t me the entire thing on him."


    "That''s good. Did you go to the post office earlier to confirm his existence?"


    "That''s right. There was no name on the postcard after all. You thought it was from him, but what if it


    wasn''t? I couldn''t let it go until I saw him with my own eyes."


    Elliot had always been suspicious. He was more cautious since this matter was rted to Shea.


    "Do you think he''s still around here, Elliot?" Avery asked.


    Elliot shook his head. "The postcard was posted several days ago. There isn''t a high probability of him


    still being around here."


    "I supposed. I''m a little hungry now. Go


    once you''re done." Avery reached out to ask for her phone from him, then said, "I''ll be on a video call


    with La."


    Elliot had a strange expression on his face when he pulled Avery''s phone out of his pocket and


    returned it to her.


    "Hurry up and take a shower! I alreadyid out your clothes," Avery said as she patted the clothes by


    the bed.

    Elliot wanted to say something but ended up going into the bathroom without a word.


    Avery picked up her phone and started a video call with Mrs. Cooper.


    The call was quickly answered, and La''s face appeared on the screen.


    However, her expression was not quite happy.


    "Why are you upset, sweetie? I was in the shower earlier. I heard your Daddy showed you the ocean


    here. Did you see it?" Avery asked.


    "I didn''t see the ocean!" La huffed angrily. "Daddy made Uncle Eric made mad and he left!" "Huh?"


    Avery was baffled. "What happened? "Daddy said something bad about Uncle Eric and Uncle Eric


    heard it." Then, La asked, "Didn''t Daddy tell you about it?


    Hmph! He did something bad. Of course, he wouldn''t want to tell you about it!"


    Avery recalled the awkward expression that Elliot had on his face when he handed her phone over


    earlier. So, it was because something like this had happened.


    "What did he say about your Uncle Eric?"


    "I didn''t know he said something bad about Uncle Eric at first. I only found out after they ended the call


    and Uncle Eric left angrily."


    Avery''s temples began to ache.


    "Please call Uncle Eric and cheer him up, Mommy!" "Alright. I''ll call him right now." "Okay, Mommy. Are


    you having fun over there? Is the ocean really as beautiful as Daddy said it was?" La asked, filled


    with curiosity.


    "That''s right. Thea ocean looks beautiful from here. It''s a littlete now so we can''t quite see it. I''ll call


    you again tomorrow afternoon and show you, okay?"
