Chapter 1188
Mike''s pent-up unhappiness disappeared immediately after hearing her words.
What she said was true.
Elliot had an irritable temper, and he would almost certainly lose his mind if he knew that Shea was still
alive. He would even go so far as to kidnap Adrian and tie him down to the operating table just so Shea
could get the kidney transnt.
On the off chance that the operation failed and he saw Shea dying before his own eyes, how was he
even supposed to face that immense blow?
"There''s only one way to solve the problems you mentioned," Mike said after calming down, "Bringing
Shea to him if her surgery is sessful."
Avery nodded. "I know. That was my n all along. Elliot would have been so happy to see her."
"But he has misunderstood your intentions right now!" Mike roared. "He''s not the only one who hates
you right now. The people around him hate you too, including Ben and Chad..."
"Tammy told me." Although Avery was a little heartbroken, she was not concerned with their view of
her. "Wesley didn’t want me to worry about Shea because he doesn''t want me to be put in a tight spot,
but that''s not something I can do. Shea''s in the state she is now because of Robert. If I ignore her, I''ll
live the rest of my life with a bad conscience." "Ignorance is bliss. You''re not the type who can ignore

something that you know," Mike knew her too well. "But you have to n tor the worst. If Shea dies,
then your rtionship with Elliot would bepletely dead. You can’t just assume that things will
always end happily even though you''ve already gone through so much trouble together."
Avery said dejectedly, "I''ve alreadye this far. There''s no turning back."
"Don''t be scared. I''ve always told you that I’ll support whatever decision you make. I won''t so much as
say half a word if you want to sell thepany to save Shea."
"I don''t know when I''ll meet Elliot, but my agreement with Henry is next Friday. Let’s wait until then!"
She was already sweating buckets. "Let''s go in! I need to take a shower."
Mike went to meet the two children after Avery went upstairs.
La had been staring at them while they were chatting outside earlier.
"Hey, Uncle Mike, we might be moving back again because Mommy ?f(;TMP: Daddy quarreled with
each other.” La then asked. "Will you move back in with us if we do?"
"I can move back in with you if that''s what you want." Mike patted her head. "La, whatever happens
between your parents is best left to them. As a kid, your job is to study well and grow up to be a good
person.
"Easy for you to say. It’d be great if I was as young as Robert."
"When Robert grows up, he’ll also learn to notice when your mother is unhappy.
That’s life. We can''t be happy all the time, but we shouldn''t be miserable all the time either. It''s the
same for your mother and everyone else," Mike exined to her.
"But you look very happy every day!" La said.
"When I cry, I always hide under the nket," Mike teased.
"Hahaha! I want to see you cry next time!" La smiled.
"You like seeing other people suffer, don''t you?"
"Uncle Mike, Mommy said that she''ll bring me and Robert to see Hayden during my summer break.
Come with us!" La pleaded. "I miss the life we used to have when we stayed together."
"I''ll always be beside you guys, La. I''ll go with you when you''re on your summer vacation."
The weekends were over in the blink of an eye.
When Monday came, Avery drove to thepany after La went to school that morning.
She had a very strong hunch in her heart that Elliot might show up soon.
After arriving at thepany, she attended her regr Monday meetings.
The heads of various departments reported the previous week''s progress to her.
She did not express her opinion on the reports, but before the end of the weekly meeting, she said,
"Although Mike is the Director of Operations, he''s the real boss of thispany. I have too many
personal affairs and I''m not always at thepany. If anyone has any urgent matters and I''m
unreachable, you may contact Mike directly."
Mike followed her into her office after the meeting.
