Chapter 1202
The floodgates opened, and tears streamed down Avery''s face as she looked at her son''s stern and
serious face.
Wesley immediately pulled Hayden aside.
"That’s no way to be speaking to your mother, Hayden," Wesley whispered, "Don''t you want Shea to
survive?"
"Of course I do, but that has nothing to do with Elliot! I hate him, but I don''t want to see him reduced to
this!" Hayden''s eyes were slightly red. "My goal is to defeat him. How am I supposed to achieve that
now that he''s lost everything!"
Wesley hugged Hayden after understanding what the boy''s thoughts were. "I understand how you feel,
but don''t me your mother for this. She''s been feeling sadder than anyone else these past couple of
days," Wesley said hoarsely. "She never forced your father into giving up everything. She''ll never do
something like that. Your dad made this decision because he felt provoked. There''s a whole lot of stuff
that is beyond our control. You''re still young, so you may not understand that."
Avery stood outside the operating theater and raised her chin slightly in an attempt to stop her tears
from flowing.
She felt as though Hayden had ced the me firmly on her when he had spoken to her.
She did not me him for reacting that way because it was her fault.
Elliot had lost everything, and his whereabouts remained unknown. Avery did not even know if she
could find him.
Mike rushed there with La that afternoon.
The little girl''s summer vacation had not officially started yet, but Mike requested three days of leave for
her and she got to start her vacation a little earlier.
"How''s the surgery?" Mike asked immediately after seeing Avery.
"It''s done. They''re in the ICU now for observation." Avery nced at the time. " Let''s get something to
eat!"
"Okay.” Mike nced at the two children," When did Haydene here?"
"This morning."
"Don’t you have ss today, Hayden?" Mike asked. "Or did you skip ss?"
"I took a leave of absence." Hayden maintained a cold expression.
"Not bad. You''ve learned how to ask for leave," Mike teased. "Why are you so sullen, though? Did
something make you unhappy?"
Hayden replied, "There''s nothing for me to be happy about."
"Aren''t you happy that our sister ;f*?XLU? I came to see you?" Mike patted him on the shoulder.
"You''re here for Mommy."
Hayden had just finished his sentence when La immediately grabbed his hand. "I came to see you! I
wanted to bring Robert too, but Uncle Mike was a little too anxious and insisted we get here as quickly
as possible."
Avery listened to her daughter''s words and asked Mike softly, "Are you going to tell me you came here
to see Shea''s surgery?"
"Not at all. My presence isn''t capable of influencing the surgery''s oue." Mike then said bluntly,
"Ben found out that Elliot has left Aryadelle."
Avery tensed and asked immediately," Where did he go? "
Mike shook his head and said, "Ben wasn''t able to find out. All he got was that Elliot left Aryadelle, and
both Ben and Chad feel that he won''te back."

Avery''s heart ached all of a sudden. "Why would they think that? He has a lot of other assets aside
from thepany’s shares!"
"You''re right, he does have a lot of real estate and other investments, and they''re worth a ton of money
if converted into cash. But he has entrusted hiswyer with all of it, and that could only mean that he
does not n on returning in the future."
Mike''s words made Avery turn cold.
"Whichwyer did he entrust it to? Do you have any way to contact them?" Avery was reluctant to lose
contact with him.
Mike shook his head. "He wants to leave you, Avery. He won''t forgive you even if you beg him, and I
don''t want to see you being so lowering yourself like that."
"Tell me how to get in touch with thatwyer!" Avery ignored Mike''s advice.
She had already made up her mind to find him, and no amount of persuasion would change her mind.
Avery grew a little intense, and the two children turned to look at them.
