Chapter 1913
"Hmm. They seemed to have passed away when you were young." "My grandfather passed away
when I was four. My grandmother was grief-stricken when my grandfather passed away. She was in
so much pain and grief it caused all sorts of chronic diseases to re up in her body. She died
painfully in the end." Avery''s eyes turned wet when she said that. "Before they died, they were still
protecting our family, so we weren''t in such a tough spot. After they left, Wanda started getting
brazen."
"How did your grandfather die?" Elliot looked at Avery’s eyes, heartbroken.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, his hand reached out reflexively.
Avery pushed his hand away and wiped her tears. "My grandfather suddenly fell and hurt his brain.
He could not be resuscitated. I remembered it clearly. Back then, my father brought me to the
hospital to see my grandfather onest time. I wanted so badly to treat him and keep him with me
so that he would look after me."
"Avery, don''t be sad. Your grandparents are surely looking down from above, protecting you still."
Elliot held her hand and continued walking forward. "There are surely bad things that are happening
in the world, but look on the bright side. Many good things are happening, too. If our daughter is
lucky, she is still alive and is being cared for by good people who have adopted her. Everything is
possible." "You are just lying to yourself and numbing yourself," she said as she pulled her hand out
of his. "I''m not cold. Why are you holding my hand?" "So, I can hold your hand when it’s cold?" Elliot
asked.
"Stop trying so hard." Avery looked at him deeply. Staring at him, she said, "I have a boyfriend and
you''re still doing this. Why do you insist on making me a cheater?"
"You and your boyfriend are not married yet, right? If you are not married, thew doesn''t protect
your rtionship." He was defending himself. "Many people are in rtionships, and when they are
in different ces, they will keep their phones with them all day long. They will call each other,
Avery never thought that he would be so observant. He had been secretly observing her so-called
rtionship.
"You should know that he is busy too. He isn''t like you, who abandons your work. If I remembered
correctly, they used to say that you see nothing else when in love."
Elliot smiled. "If that makes you happier, I won''t say anything to that."
"Don''t speak as if you''re that generous. The only reason you are not saying anything is because
you can''t." Avery raised her chin and said, "You''re blind when in love. Ben told me this before."
"Can you take Ben''s words seriously?" Elliot blushed a little. He lowered his voice. "He even
scolded me. Does that mean I should take those words seriously? I''m close to him. We often joke
about it." "It’s because you two are close that he knows you so well. Therefore, hisments are all
the more urate." Avery made Elliot speechless with herment.
"So, what if I''m blind when I''m in love?" Elliot could not say anything, and so he gave in to her.
"Blind in love means 1 am an emotional person."
"Oh." Avery thought that some of what he said made sense too.
Elliot blushed even more. He could not help but want to hold her hand again.
"Let''s head back!" Avery turned around and Elliot''s hand grabbed at nothing. "The wind outside is
quite cold. I don''t know whether it''s the wind that is making my head hurt or I already have a
headache. It''s better to head back to rest. If my condition is worse tomorrow, I can''t do anything
then."
"Hmm." They walked back and reached the hotel soon after.
"Let''s give the children a video callter!" Elliot said when entering the lift.
"They are at Bridgedale right now."
"I know. Once the siblings have met up with each other, you can give them a video call. I''ll just
watch from the side," Elliot said meekly. "Hayden still hasn''t spent the money I gave him."
