Chapter 1198


    "In that case, just be frank with him!" said Mike raising his voice. "Tell him that Shea is still alive, let him


    worry and suffer! It''s better than letting him hate you!"


    "I can''t get through to him. I haven''t been able to get through to him sincest night. I''ve been calling


    him until now. He probably won''t use this number again." She spoke in a hoarse and nasal voice


    without trying to hide her helplessness and grief. " Mike, I feel like my heart is dead."


    "Like hell it is! Even if he is your life, you still have three children!" Mike snapped. " When is Shea''s


    surgery? Is it scheduled yet?


    "Tomorrow, if all goes well." She took a deep breath and said, "I talked to Sheast night. She''s just as


    innocent and kind as she always was. She misses Elliot dearly, and I promised her I''d bring her to meet


    him if her operation is sessful. But I can''t contact Elliot anymore..."


    "You might not be able to contact him, but perhaps someone else can. In the meantime, take a deep


    breath and calm down. If Shea''s operation is sessful, he''lle around." Mike thenforted her,


    "I''ll bring the children to meet you in Bridgedale the day after tomorrow."


    "Okay. I need to go to the hospital."


    "Love will always be the spice of life, Avery, but it is not necessary for life. Don’t lose confidence in life


    just because of love."


    "Understood."


    Mike then went back into the vi after their call.


    He stayed until nine at night and left when La had fallen asleep.


    He left Elliot''s home and drove to Chad''s ce.


    Chad had been feeling deted and defeated ever since Elliot left Sterling Group.


    The fact that he would never see Elliot entering Sterling Group again was bad enough for him, but the


    biggest blow was the knowledge that Adrian would be his future boss.


    "How was Adrian supposed to be Sterling Group''s boss if he knew nothing?" thought Chad.


    Behind Adrian were Henry and Cole, which meant that thepany was effectively under their control.


    Just thinking about that made Chad sick to the core.


    He had been by Elliot''s side for years ?f(? YJY= years, and he knew how much Elliot hated that father-


    son duo.


    Getting Elliot to make such a decision was no different than feeding his enemy a chunk of his freshly


    cut flesh.


    When Mike came, Chad said coldly, "Avery hasn''t returned to the country yet!"


    "I told you, she won’t be back for the time being." Mike put on his slippers and led Chad toward the


    living room. "Find a way to contact Elliot!"


    "Find a way? How do I even contact him? What''s the point of getting in touch with him?" Chad pushed


    Mike''s arm away. "He is no longer my boss, and I am no longer his employee. What do you want me to


    say to him if I contact him?"


    "You might not have that working rtionship anymore, but you have known each other for so many


    years that you can be considered friends!"


    "He has plenty of friends. He doesn''t need a useless friend like me." Chadughed in spite of himself.


    "Why do you want me to find him? Is it you who''s looking for him, or is it Avery?"


    Mike saw how angry Chad was and poured him a ss of water. "What if I said that Shea was looking


    for him? Do you honestly think Avery is the kind of selfish, ruthless woman to push Elliot into a corner?"


    Chad''s expression froze and he had a startled look on his face. "Shea? Did you just say. Shea?!" "Yes.


    Shea is still alive, but she''s very ill and her health is deteriorating. She went into shock after giving


    Robert a blood transfusion, but she was saved. Unfortunately, she developed kidney failureter on..."


    Mike handed the ss of water to Chad. "Shea needs a kidney transnt, without which she will die.


    Whether or not she can recover after the procedure is anyone''s guess, which is why Avery did not want


    to tell anyone about it."

    Chad''s Adam''s apple bobbed noticeably, and his mind was aplete mess. "Why does my boss have


    to transfer the shares for Shea to get a kidney transnt?"


    "Because Adrian''s kidney is a match, and Adrian is in Henry’s hands. The whole thing is actually very


    simple, but it''s not easy to ept." Mike sat down on the sofa and sighed. "Elliot called Avery


    yesterday and broke up with her." "Oh... So you wanted me to call him so I can tell him about Shea?"
