Chapter 2183
Seeing the tears that fell from her eyes, he lifted a hand to wipe away her tears.
"I will be in unimaginable pain if we don''t take it out. Shea, you wouldn''t leave me in pain, would
you?"
She nodded frantically.
"I would definitely keep trying if there was another way, but there isn''t. I don''t want to drag Avery
down with me. She''s had enough and because of me, she has been working day and night without
rest. Shea, you would be sad too if you were me, right?"
She nodded again.
"Robert was ill when he was born and you gave him your blood without letting
anyone know, even if it meant you would die. You weren’t afraid, then, so why should
I be?"
Her tears rolled down her cheeks at his words.
An hourter, Wesley returned with breakfast for them and Shea immediately dragged him out of
the room.
"Shea, why are your eyes all red? Have you been crying? What''s wrong? Your brother is awake
now?" Wesley nced at her reddened eye and patted her on the head.
"Help my brother take that thing out of his head," she demanded with her head bowed.
The gentle expression instantly faded from his face. "Elliot told you to say that?"
"He said he is in pain and he wants it to stop." Shea leaned her head against Wesley''s shoulder and
sobbed. "I don''t want to see him in so much pain. He''s not begged me for anything... This is the first
time he has ever asked for my help.
Wesley, I don''t know how I can refuse him... If I do, he would be devastated."
Tears welled up in Wesley’s eyes. If he listened to Shea and helped to remove the device from
Elliot''s head, Avery would resent him if Elliot died from the surgery; however, ording to what he
knew about Shea, she would be livid if he refused her request.
He had not once dared to enrage her since the day he knew her, so the two had had a harmonious
rtionship thus far. He couldn''t imagine what Shea might do if he refused her.

Half an hourter, Wesley entered the room alone to talk to Elliot.
Elliot had already finished his breakfast and was leaning on his bed to rest. As soon as he heard
footsteps, he opened his eyes.
"Elliot, why would you say something like that to Shea? Do you really have a death wish?" Wesley
stood by the bed and looked down at him.
"I thought it through." Elliot''s expression remained calm.
"Thought what through?! You are trying to die without Avery here to stop you! How upset would she
be when she finds out?!"
"Stop using her against me. Wesley, it hurts me more to be her burden, to watch her getting
ckmailed because of me! I should have died back in Ylore and the past few days have all been a
bonus to me. I don’t regret anything." Elliot was determined. "I hope you remember that you are
Shea''s husband, not Avery’s. You should know who you should listen to, right?"
Wesley was overwhelmed by sorrow when he realized he couldn’t convince Elliot otherwise. "This
kind of surgery is tooplicated. I can''t do it."
"Then find someone who can," Elliot said." You are not the one in pain, so you can get on that high
horse and ask me to live my life the way you think I should, but Wesley, have you ever considered
how I feel? Avery will survive without me, and so will the kids. The world wouldn’t stop spinning just
because one person dies. You can''t ask me to live in misery simply because they would be sad for
a while when I''m gone. None of you know my pain."
Wesley came to a decision and agreed in tears, "You are right. You have the right to decide when
you want to end your life. I respect that. I will contact a doctor for you. " "Thank you." Elliot''s
expression darkened
as he added, "Don''t tell Avery about this. If she calls to look for me, make up some kind of excuse
for me. I don''t want to hear her voice anymore."
