Chapter 1243


    "I will handle him! Once he gets back, I promise I will get him to marry you!" Mrs. Schaffer promised.


    "My only request for you right now is to not work or go to school for now. Just stay at home to nurture


    your baby. I will get you a nanny to take care of you."


    Troubled, Lilith came up with an idea." Auntie, my brother might be dead, but my sister-inw is still


    alive. I need to talk to her about this first."


    "Oh... You are talking about Avery Tate! Does she concern herself with your affairs?


    "She does! She is really kind to me." Lilith was stuck in a difficult position between Ben and his parents,


    and she could not quite make up her mind as to what to do. Ben''s parents had been very kind to her

    and she did not have the heart to say anything that might hurt them, which was why she needed to wait


    until Avery returned to make the decision for her.


    As soon as Avery was rushed into the emergency room, the doctor immediately injected antipyretics


    and antiinmmatory medication into her, and her temperature finally returned to normal that evening.


    She was as pale as a ghost, but she had regained consciousness.


    "Avery, you are finally awake!" Mike eximed when he saw her opening her eyes. "I was about to go


    crazy if you didn''t wake up."


    All strength was drained from Avery. She nced at Mike nkly and looked around her.


    "You had a really high fever and it wouldn''t go down in Ylore, so I took you back to Aryadelle," Mike


    exined guiltily.


    Avery did not fullyprehend what Mike had said, but she could distinctly sense how ill she truly was.


    "Elliot-”


    "They are still looking. Ben hired the best rescue team in the world, and they are working day and night


    on that mountain. They will surely let us know if they find Elliot; if they don''t... then we need to ept


    reality. You need to ept it no matter how reluctant you are." Mike held her hand, which had a needle


    attached to it, to prevent Avery from breaking down.


    Avery withdrew her hand from his palm.


    After a moment of silence, she asked," Mike, if I die, you will take care of my kids for me, right?"


    If Avery died, Mike would surely take care of her children, but if she was choosing to end her life, he


    would not agree to care for her children.


    "You are wrong! I have my own life, so I am not taking care of three kids! If you die, I will send your kids


    to the orphanage, ?b$= YJU< they are going to end up getting adopted by someone else! La is a


    sweet and smart girl, so she will definitely be able to find a wealthy foster family, but I can''t be sure


    about your two boys..." Mike said so on purpose so that Avery would not dare die.


    "You are trying to piss me off on purpose." Tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked on her voice.


    "I only owe you, Avery. I don''t owe your kids anything. Why should I have to raise your kids for you? If


    you kill yourself, I am really going to send them to an orphanage. Try me if you don''t believe me!" Mike


    said fiercely.


    Avery turned away from him, she did not want to debate the topic with him.


    For a moment, she did want to meet Elliot in the afterlife, but Mike’s words had sobered her.


    One was bound to encounter difficulties in life, and things would not always go ording to n. The


    misery she was experiencing resulted from losing someone she loved, and it was something everyone


    experienced at some point or another.


    When her father passed away, she realized that not only would she need to bid farewell to one or two


    people, but that she might have to bid farewell to everyone that


    she had never known.
