It was five o'clock in the morning in Ylore. The ringing of his mobile phone awakened Elliot, and when he saw that it was Chad, he answered it immediately. "Boss, how are you doing? Have you found Ivy?" Chad asked. Elliot did not expect him to call him just to ask him this. "Do you know what time it is over here?" "I know. Did I wake you up?" Chad's tone contained a little self-reproach but not much guilt, "I went to Starry River Villa just now." Elliot rubbed his brows and sat up. Although it was five in the morning, the sky was starting to lighten. "If you want to say something, just say it." His tone was sullen. "Boss, did you and Avery break up? Mike said she was going to divorce you," Chad said. "If you have nothing to do in Ylore, come back quickly! You can let Ben stay there and deal with everything else." "Deal with what? Ivy hasn't been found yet! Deal with what, exactly?" Elliot's voice rose. "When you mentioned Mike, it occurred to me that he said before

After saying this, Chad regretted it. He couldn't take it back though. He believed that Mike didn't do it because Mike denied it at first. He was angry with Mike for ignoring him these days. No matter how the relationship between Avery and Elliot was, what did it have to do with other people? Why should they receive the implications of Avery and Elliot's divorce? When Mike returned to the ward, Wesley immediately stood up from the chair. "You two talk. I'll go out first." When Wesley went out, he closed the door of the ward. Avery looked at Mike. Although she didn't say anything, Mike already knew what she wanted to say by the look in her eyes. "I didn't do it. I did think about killing Ruby and throwing the child where no one could find it, but I didn't." Mike sat down in the chair Wesley was sitting in just now. "Later, I looked at Ivy's photos, and the more I looked, the less cruel I became, so I didn't do anything." "I believe you." Avery was relieved after rece

Hayden said this because he felt that Elliot might want Layla and Robert, but not necessarily him. Their relationship was terrible and they had never reconciled. "Hayden, don't be angry yet. I was just planning for the worst. Your father may not be so hard on your mom." Wesley felt sad for Hayden. A child his age should grow up happily under the protection of his parents. But he has been suffering from troubles he should not bear for his age. "Uncle Wesley, you don't need to comfort me. I know him well enough that he's a bad guy." Hayden said coldly. In Starry River Villa, Layla immediately pulled him over when Hayden came back and asked, "Brother, have you seen mommy? Have you seen Uncle Mike? Are they both in the hospital? How is Aunt Shea's baby? Take me there! I miss Mommy." Layla wanted to go with Hayden tonight, but Hayden refused. He wasn't sure if his mother was really in the hospital. "Layla, brother has something to tell you." Hayden took Layla's hand and le

Over at Elizabeth Hospital, Avery—who was put on a drip—leaned against the bedhead.The door to her ward opened and Mike strode in."What are you holding?" Avery's gaze fell on his hand.Mike handed the documents to her. "You said you wanted to divorce Elliot, right? I printed the divorce agreement for you so you can sign it right now. Once he comes back, you can let him sign it right away too."Avery took the document and read it carefully."If you make all the preparations and just leave the last bit for him to sign, it'll be the biggest blow to him," Mike analyzed with her. "He's a proud man, but I can imagine him getting angry when he sees you being so proactive with handing over the divorce agreement. Once he's angry, he might just sign it immediately.""There's no need to play psychological tactics, Mike. He and I are both adults, and I'm sure he knows that I'm going to divorce him already." Avery flipped through the documents and saw a form on the last page.There were tw

"I don't think you're going to like what I say, Avery, but I'm going to say it anyway. I think this will be good for you." Tammy lowered her voice slightly. "If Ruby and that child are both dead, then there won't be any obstacles between you and Elliot anymore. Elliot probably went to Ylore just to collect their bodies. After all, the Goulds have no other relatives."Avery did not tell Tammy that the reasons for divorcing Elliot were not simply because Elliot went to Ylore. It was also because her hopes for him to come and visit her when she lost her vision were dashed when he decided to fly to Ylore regardless."I've already decided, Tammy. I really have." She reiterated her decision to Tammy."I see. You're serious about it. I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise then that Mike has been with you all this time. You must have felt really sad these past few days. Why didn't you tell me?" Tammy regretted that she could not support and console Avery when the latter was at her saddest.
