Chapter 1244
As expected, her mother passed away after her father, and now she had lost Elliot as well. In the end,
she would also leave this world. All stories and rumors about her would soon fade into nothingness as
time went by until finally, all marks that she had ever lived would disappear.
As Wesley had said before, if Death could cross the boundaries of time and ce, then Avery would
tell him that she did not want another life.
An hourter, Mrs. Schaffer hurried over and Mike was slightly surprised to see her
"Ben called me and I asked about Avery. He told me that she came back and I wanted to meet her...”
"Oh. Ben did call me just now asking where
we are," Mike said. "Avery''s fever has just gone down. She isn''t in a good ce right now because of
what happened to Elliot, so let me go in and speak to her first."
"Okay. Tell her that I''m here for Lilith," Mrs. Schaffer said.
Mike was confused but went in to convey her message regardless.
In two minutes'' time, Mike opened the door and let Mrs. Schaffer in.
Avery leaned against the headboard of her bed and tried her best to look energetic.
"Avery, are you okay?" Mrs. Schaffer set the fruits and flowers onto the counter and sat down next to
the bed. "You might not remember me. When you and Elliot got married, I was there at the wedding.”
"How could I possibly forget you? I remember talking to you!" Avery forced a smile.
"Yes. I heard that you aren''t feeling well so I decided to pay you a visit. You are still young, Avery,
there''s still a long way ahead of you. Do not let the pain defeat you. Ben and Elliot were as close as
real brothers, so even with Elliot gone, Ben will surely help you out if you encounter any difficulties in
the future."
"I know. What''s wrong with Lilith?"
"She is pregnant with Ben''s baby. As Ben is not home, I had a discussion with his dad, and we don''t
intend on casting Lilith aside, so we intend to get Ben to marry her. I talked to Lilith about this, and she
said that even though Elliot is gone, you are still around ;a,?QJY? she needs your opinion on this."
Avery was stunned, and thought to herself, "So the baby really is Ben''s."
"Did she really say that?" Avery had not expected Lilith to leave the decision to her.

"Yes. She is still young, after all, and she doesn’t have any guardian to help her, so she is relying on
you."
"If she decides to give birth to the baby, of course, it would be better to start a life with Ben. I am sure
that Ben will take care of her for Elliot''s sake."
"I feel so relieved to hear you say that, Avery. Get some rest and recover here in the hospital. Ben will
help arrange Elliot''s funeral and once this is over, let us discuss Ben and Lilith’s wedding, okay?"
Avery nodded.
After Mrs. Schaffer left, Mike strode inside and said, "What''s with Lilith?" "Can I go now?" Avery
nced at the ward.
Everything she saw made her depressed, and she wanted to leave.
"No." Mike walked toward the bed. "The doctor took your blood to run some tests. Until the results
this?"
Avery sighed andy back down on the bed.
"Mike, my head hurts... I might not have long to live," she mumbled. "If I die, I will give you all my
money. My only wish is for you to raise my kids until they are grown."
Mike''s head started hurting at her mumbling. "Is your head really hurting so badly?” He sat down by the
bed and grabbed her hand. "It’s too bad that we can''t run any tests today. We can only wait until
tomorrow. I will go get the doctor to arrange the appointments first and take you to the tests first thing in
the morning." She withdrew her hand and became calm again. "I''m fine... I feel kind of sleepy so I''ll just
go back to sleep.”
"Avery, Ben allowed you to escape once. I am staying here in this room tonight. Rest, and don''t even
think about going
somewhere else," Mike said sternly, "Once you wake up tomorrow, we are taking you to get a full-body
checkup. I want to see if you are really dying."
