Chapter 1997


    "After your shower,e out to have some oatmeal porridge. Then, go back to sleep after eating


    something," Mike said and headed for the door. "Don''t close your room door. I want to be able to


    hear you if you fall. If there is no sound when you hit the ground then at least I can hear the falling


    of other objects and other sounds."


    "I''m not an idiot. How could I not make a sound when I fall?"


    "When you passed outst night, there were no signs at all. Hayden was so frightened he wanted to


    send you to the hospital. I checked for breath, and it was still regr, which is only why we didn''t


    send you to the hospital." "I guess Hayden must be scared to death." "How could he not? This


    morning, he refused to go to school. I had to force him," Mike said. "If he isn''t going to school, the


    two of us will be watching over you by your bed. I think you''re not sick or dying, yet the two of us are


    acting like you''re not going to make it. It''s a little silly. "


    Avery took her clothes into the bathroom.


    She was still steeped inst night''s grief. She had thought that Elliot was dead, and she did not


    suspect that it could be a setup.


    In Aryadelle, Natalie followed her mother back to the apartment. Natalie was not staying with her


    parents. She bought a small ce for her parents in the city.


    That day, her Aunt Betty wasing over, which was why her mother came over to her ce.

    A moment ago, her father called to ask when her mother was returning home.


    Natalie saw that her mother was in a bad mood and told her father that her mother would not be


    returning today and that she would be spending the night with Natalie.


    After entering the house, Natalie walked over to the coffee table. She took ady’s cigarette and


    lighter from the drawers.


    "Natalie, why are you smoking?" Mrs. Jennings saw how swift her daughter''s movements were in


    lighting a cigarette. She was stunned.


    "Mom, it’s just a cigarette. Do you need to be so shocked?" Natalie let out a puff of smoke in front of


    her mother. "Isn’t your matter with Dean Jennings even more shocking? Does Dad know that I''m not


    his daughter?"


    Mrs. Jennings’ expression were full of conflict.


    Who had never made mistakes when they were young?


    Although in her youth she had been Dean''s mistress, after she realized the danger she was in, she


    was determined to leave the luxurious life she lead.


    "He doesn''t know." Mrs. Jennings lowered her gaze. She blushed a little. "But I think he should


    know it clearly in his heart. He has pursued me for many years. Even if I let him take over this, he


    would be willing to do it."


    "Hebe, Dad''sst name is also Jennings. Mom, were you missing Dean, which was why you


    deliberately found a man whosest name is also Jennings to marry? That way, you can let your


    child with Dean be a Jennings too." Natalie was trying to analyze her mother''s reason. "You can''t


    stay by Dean’s side, yet you still want benefits from him, which is why you did what you did. This is


    the best solution you could think of."


    Mrs. Jennings’ expression was rather ugly when her daughter hit the nail on the head.


    "Natalie, anyone but you can mock me. Everything I did was for you."


    "Mom! Stop talking! Stop trying to brainwash me. You should head back ;g&? YKQ>e clean


    with Dad! What if he can''t ept it?"


    "What do you mean by this? Your father and I are old. Are you nning to see us get a divorce?"


    Mrs. Jennings was extremely heartbroken.


    "So what if you two divorce? Will you die from it? How could you lie to Dad? You might not find it


    despicable, but I do! I only have one Dad, and he isn''t Dean Jennings!" "Hehe! Get off your high


    horse! Are you still going to be this arrogant when Avery kills you?"
