Chapter 2008


    Avery saw the way Ang''s look darkened and how her eyes glittered viciously as though she was


    going to chase Avery out any second now.


    "Ms. Hills, I''m only asking because I went to see Bobby yesterday," Avery blurted out." He hated my


    guts from the moment he saw me and asked me to leave after a brief exchange."


    "Humans tend to experience drastic changes in personality after a traumatic experience like that. I


    heard from his father that Bobby used to be more mature than Sebastian. It''s a shame that he has


    turned out like this," Ang said. "I did consider treating him myself, but I''m afraid that I''m not


    capable of it."


    Avery gave her a confused look.


    "My hands... They started shaking uncontrobly two years ago... It started as a shiver from time to


    time and didn''t cause much damage. But maybe I''ve exhausted myselftely so the shaking has


    gotten worse. You are still young and probably won''t understand what it''s like for older people like


    us to wake up one day to find out yet another part of our bodies has issues." Ang lifted her arm


    and nced at it.


    "I''m sorry, I didn''t know that something happened to your hands," Avery said ruefully. "I am here


    only to visit you. As for Bobby, I''ve already agreed to treat him and I won''t go back on my own


    words."


    "You are here to visit me? More like to confront me, right?" Ang''s eyebrows shot up. "Dean came


    home yesterday asking me if I had pped you... You sure hold a grudge! If you hadn''t mentioned


    it, I would have forgotten all about it."


    "Ms. Hills, if I hold a grudge against you over a p to the face, I would have sought revenge on


    you long ago, why should I wait until now?" Avery drawled calmly." Professor Hough had nothing


    but great things to say whenever he used to talk about you, so naturally, I won''t hold such a small


    grudge against you."


    Ang''s expression darkened further at the mention of ''Professor Hough''. "Stop mentioning his


    name over and over again in front of me!"


    "Professor Hough might be dead, but he still lives in my heart.”


    "He is nothing but a yboy! You respect him so much simply because you have no idea what he''s


    really like." Ang nced at the diamond ring on her right ring finger. "He epted my confession


    of love for him in the past


    Avery froze. "Are you serious?"


    "Why wouldn''t he see me, then? It''s because he didn''t dare to face me!" Ang grew increasingly


    agitated. "I''ve always been acting honorably and would never cling onto someone if they didn''t


    treasure mypanionship, but James... He owed me an exnation and refused to give me that


    until the end! It''s not horrible of me to call him a yboy now, is it?!"


    "If what you are saying is true, then Professor Hough must have had his reasons for doing so."


    Avery refused to believe her mentor to be a yboy. She had respected him since she first met him


    until the day he died.


    "Even if that’s true, it doesn''t change the fact that he hurt me! All I wanted was an exnation, but


    he denied me that and refused to rify with the others as well. Everyone thought that I was


    stalking him! He might be the most righteous man anyone has ever known, but to me, he will


    forever be remembered as a yboy who toyed with my feelings!"


    "Ms. Hills, Professor Hough died from illness and maybe if his death wasn''t so unexpected, he


    would have exined things to you-"


    "Avery Tate, you are just as disgusting as your professor!" Ang’s lips curled into a sarcastic


    sneer. "I am willing to engage in small talk with you if you stop mentioning him, but say his name in


    front of me again and I will have the bodyguards throw you


    out of here!"


    Seeing how flushed and enraged Ang was, Avery stood from the couch and stormed off.


    Once Avery was gone, Dean came downstairs.

    "Ang, what made you so angry this morning, hm?"


    Ang stood from the couch and said in a sweet voice, "Who else has the courage to be so rude to


    me but Avery Tate? We should have just killed her back in the basement. Who would have thought


    that she was lucky enough to get out of there?"


    Dean approached Ang and wrapped his arm around her waist. "She only survived because she


    is lucky enough to have such a brilliant son. I respect her for that." "Hayden Tate is brilliant, indeed,


    but he''s so mysterious that I don''t even know what he looks like."
