Chapter 2022


    Mike walked out and ran into Hayden. The two headed to the dining room without a word.


    "Your mom said she''s fine, but her face is as pale as a ghost, so she must have lost quite a lot of


    blood," Mike whispered.


    "I won''t let that old twat live!" said Hayden through gritted teeth as his expression grew dark.


    "We will need to n it out carefully because he still has your father. We are in a passive position at


    the moment," Mike said. "Your dad is your mom''s main concern right now. We will need to find out


    where Elliot is and find a way to get him out. Once he is out, we are free to do whatever we want


    with Dean Jennings."


    In the bedroom, Avery wiped herself dry and changed into a set of loose pajamas, before stepping


    out of the bathroom.


    Her phone started ringing, so she went to the nightstand to pick up her phone, only to realize that


    Dean was calling.


    She took a deep breath and answered.


    "Miss Tate, are you okay? I heard that Bobby went mad and stabbed you. That beast! He’s gone


    mad!" Dean cursed while apologizing to her. "I’m so sorry, Miss Tate. Are you alright? Where are


    you now? Can Ie see you?"


    "I''m fine, Mr. Jennings. It''ste, so just stay home and rest!" Avery sat down by the bed calmly.

    "I will pay you a visit tomorrow. Where do you stay? Will it be okay for you to share the address with


    me? I do feel awful about this. Sebastian is extremely upset about it, too. He wanted to call you, but


    I figured that I should be the one to call to extend my apology to you," he said earnestly.


    Avery hung up after giving her address to Dean.


    She realized that Dean''s shamelessness might have been an importantponent of his sess.


    After taking some time to calm herself, she stepped out of her room and noticed that Hayden was


    on the phone with La.


    Mike spotted her and hurried over to help her. "We didn''t tell La about your injury," he whispered.


    "You don''t have to mention it to her," she said as she walked closer to Hayden. Her face popped on


    the screen as she asked," La, don''t you have school today?" "It’s the weekend today, Mommy!"


    La beamed at the sight of her mother, but her expression darkened shortly after." Mommy, let me


    tell you something. Ms. Kennedy''s mom is so scary! She came to the school ;a$=ULQ< pped Ms.


    Kennedy on the face, forcing her to quit her job! Ms. Kennedy refused and Uncle George said she


    might have to cut all ties with her family; she might even have to pay her parents off."


    Avery was slightly taken by surprise. "It''s that bad?"


    "I want Ms. Kennedy to tutor me again. That way, she can earn extra," La suggested gently.


    "You have my full support if you want to help her, but do not spend time with her alone. Take Uncle


    George with you no matter where you go, okay?" Avery was scared that something might happen to


    La.


    "I know, Mommy." La could sense that Avery was on edge and instantly remembered what


    happened to Elliot." Mommy, are you close to finding Daddy?"


    "Soon," Avery said without hesitation. "I have a strong feeling that he is somewhere nearby."


    Dean had to be afraid if he could not wait to kill her.


    La beamed. "You are the best. Mommy! Everyone said that Daddy is dead, and you are the only


    one who said he isn''t. Daddy only listens to you and has stayed alive because you told him to."


    "Yeah."


    La was in a great mood after the call with her mother, so she proceeded to call


    Leah and invited her to meet.
