Chapter 769


    Because Robert was identical to Elliot. If Shea was still alive and saw Robert, she would have spoiled


    the boy senseless.


    A young woman as kind as Shea would never want to see Elliot keeping a distance from his son


    because of her.


    Mrs. Scarlet left the dining room after saying what she had to say.


    The spoon in Elliot‘s hand dropped into the bowl at the news that Avery had taken Robert to


    Bridgedale.


    ‘She must be really mad to leave in such a hurry,‘ he thought.


    Avery told him that she would raise Robert on her own; she took the boy away with her to Bridgedale


    so that he wouldn‘t have to see him. Elliot felt like he was supposed to be relieved, but he simply


    couldn‘t feel the slightest joy.


    The thought of rushing to Bridgedale to find her even came across his mind, but was soon rejected.


    ‘It‘s a good thing that she took him away,‘ he thought, ‘that way, I will have time to cool down and keep


    check of my emotions.‘


    It was a spontaneous decision for Avery to take Robert to Bridgedale. Robert was still too young to


    travel on long–haul flights, but sheid awake all night thinking back to the cold looks in Elliot‘s eyes.


    She didn‘t care if she was mistreated, but she couldn‘t allow her son to be mistreated. Motivated by


    rage, she decided to move her family to Bridgedale and spend new years there.She took Robert with


    her first, and Mike would take Hayden and La to meet with her in Bridgeable before Spring Break.


    Everyone in her family, including Hayden, La and Mike, all respected her decision.


    Avery was grateful for their understanding and felt d that they were willing to ept her, even when


    she asionally decided to act rashly. She didn‘t leave in a hurry simply out of spite, but also because


    she wanted to see her patient again: a man that shared the same blood type, same condition and even


    simr looks with Shea.


    The man had a wonderful name called Adrian White.


    Though his surname was White, his first name Adrian symbolized ‘the dark one‘; putting the two words


    together somewhat made his name sound contradicting yet meaningful.


    Adrian‘s looks gave her the same feeling as his name did. He had clear eyes, but often seemed


    gloomy. He would not have appeared that way without the pain he suffered from the illness.


    When the ne in Bridgedale, their bodyguards sent them to the mansion.


    Avery had not intended for Mrs. Cooper to tag along, as Mrs. Cooper was not familiar with Bridgedale


    at all, but she insisted oning to help taking care of Avery‘s children.


    "I have a nanny that I know from here and I will hire her to help take care of Robert with you. I don‘t


    want you to give yourself so much of a hard time," Avery said to Mrs. Cooper.


    Mrs. Cooper nodded. "Avery, are you going back after the holidays?"


    Avery read between her words and knew that Mrs. Cooper was concerned that she might remain in


    Bridgedale permanently.


    "Of course, I will go back. Hayden and La go to school in Aryadelle and mypany is there as


    well."


    Mrs. Cooper sighed a breath of relief at her answer.


    Meanwhile, in Aryadelle.


    The house became extremely empty since Avery left with Robert.


    Eric had taken La to attend sses for stage performances and Mike was busy with work since it


    was the end of the year; hence, Hayden was the only one left at home.


    Hayden was attending special sses during the winter holidays and did not have ss every single


    day. Afterpleting his ss for the morning, he was free for the rest of the day.


    He had promised La that he would go find her in the afternoon, so after ss, he took a taxi from the

    side of the road.


    Not long after the driver started driving, he mumbled, "what’s wrong with that ck car behind me?


    Why is it following me?" Hayden‘s head snapped around to look behind him immediately.
