Chapter 2184
He didn''t want his determination to waver if he heard her voice.
"Let''s settle this as soon as possible!" He looked at Wesley. "Also, don''t tell my kids about this."
Wesley exited the room in despair.
His head was pounding in pain because no matter what he did, he would either wrong Elliot or
Avery in the process.
"Why do I have to be the bad guy here?" he thought to himself.
"Wesley, what did my brother say?" Shea walked up to him and asked.
"He still insists on doing it." He scowled." Shea, you do know that if we do as he says, Avery will no
longer be our friend when she finds out."
Shea''s expression darkened. "But what else can I do? If only I could take all the pain in my brother’s
ce."
"Don''t say that, Shea!" Wesley’s heart ached at the agony in her expression. "You need to live even
if he dies. You have Kiara and me. He doesn''t actually want to die, you know? He''s just in too much
pain and there''s no other option..."
"I know, Wesley. He told me," she said, before pulling away from Wesley''s hand. " I’ll go inside to
keep himpany."
She wiped her tears away and stepped back into the room.
Wesley watched as the door closed gloomily as he imagined the misery on Avery’s face when she
eventually found out about this.
"Mr. Brook."
Wesley turned towards the sound and saw Elliot''s bodyguard walking over to him.
Feeling miserable, Wesley asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
"I do, but do you even smoke? I couldn''t tell. " The bodyguard took out his cigarette but did not hand
it to Wesley. "You can''t smoke in here."
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
"I will go downstairs." Wesley took the cigarette and asked, "And the lighter?"
The bodyguard took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to him. "I''ll go with you. You look like
the world is ending or something."
The bodyguard had seen Wesley on a frequent basis and Wesley would always lookposed, as
though nothing would shock him. It was the first time he had ever seen Wesley in so much pain.
"You''ve been with Elliot long enough to know what happened, right?" Wesley strode into the
elevator.
The bodyguard followed him inside. "What happened to Mr. Fosterst night was not an ident."
"Yeah. He is determined to take the device inside his brain out," Wesley said. "He told me not to tell
Avery and the kids until after the surgery."
The bodyguard had already guessed it but was still having a hard time epting it when Wesley
mentioned it.
"Mr. Brook, are you really going to hide this from Avery?"
"Yeah." Wesley sighed a long breath. "Elliot begged for Shea''s help and Shea came to me. If I tell
Avery about this, I will be betraying Shea. Shea is not like Avery, she can''t take it."
"And you think Avery can?" The bodyguard asked, before realizing that he was being far too
demanding. "Forget what I said. I would be as troubled if I was in your position. No one can change
Mr. Foster''s mind once he is determined to do something. Even if you refuse to help him, he will find
someone else."
Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, after contacting a few people, Avery finally obtained Oliver''s contact
number.
