Avery and Mike were in a cafe near Starry River Villa.After Chad sent Elliot there, he grabbed Mike and walked out."Why'd you drag me out for? What if Elliot bullies Avery when I'm not around?"Chad adjusted the glasses on his nose bridge. "My boss suspects that you're behind what happened to the Goulds, so you'd better not hang around in front of him!""Oh. Who cares if he suspects me? Does he have proof that I did it?""He wants to settle things with Avery right now, so for God's sake, don't stir up any trouble!""I don't care what your boss thinks of me, but I can't forgive you for doubting me along with him." Mike's face was cold. "I like to be around Avery because she trusts me. She trusts every single word I say!"Chad pursed his lips and did not know how to answer.He did not know Mike as well as Avery did, so the truth was that he did suspect Mike of doing it.Inside the cafe, Avery handed the divorce agreement and a pen to Elliot.When Elliot saw the words 'divorce

Avery had been quite calm before she saw him, and especially before he put down his signature. After all, she brought up the subject of divorce, and she had prepared herself to the best of her abilities before he returned to the country.Unfortunately, when the time came for her to face him, she could visibly see how her relationship with him came to an end, and how their union was separated into two halves. From then on, they would no longer have anything to do with each other, and the pain suffocated her.Regardless of who turned their back on the other first, their grievances and enmity with each other were severed from then onward."He signed it." Chad stood by the floor-to-ceiling window outside the cafe and saw Elliot signing the document. "How did they settle it so quickly?"Chad was puzzled because he had always understood Avery to be the kind of person who would fight tooth and nail for custody of the children."Avery can give up custody of Layla and Robert, but Elliot kn

Avery answered the phone and heard Elliot's low and slightly anxious voice. "Avery. Layla and Robert are both crying. Please don't go, okay?""What do you take me for? A nanny?" Avery shot back. "If you don't want Layla and Robert to be sad, you can give me custody of them. If you agree, I'll go over right now and pick them up."Elliot's breathing became heavier on the other side of the phone.He had a lot of things to say to her, but her attitude made it difficult for him to say them."I'm about to board the plane," Avery's heart started to count down the time. "Are you going to give me the children or not? You can always find some other woman after that and have as many children as you want…"The more Elliot listened, the angrier he became.Avery was insulting him to no end, and she did not even need to use any expletives.His face become ashen, then pale, while his body could not stop shaking at all.When he was about to hang up, he felt as if his fingers were frozen stiff.

Later that evening, Ben sent Lilith a message to tell her that Avery went to Bridgedale.Lilith immediately replied: [Are you sure she's coming to Bridgedale? She didn't tell me!][She's probably still on the flight, but I'm positive she went to Bridgedale. She divorced Elliot today. He signed the divorce agreement and she took Hayden with her.][What did I miss?? Why did this happen all of a sudden?]After Lilith won second place in the modeling competition, her agent accepted some activities on her behalf, and she was very busy because those activities often require traveling to various cities[Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone right now? I'll call you and explain.][Just do it through the chat. You can send voice messages if you don't want to type.]Ben sent her a voicemail, saying, "Ruby's dead and Ivy's missing. It's highly likely that Ivy's dead too. Elliot went to Ylore to look for Ivy but failed to find her, and Avery divorced him because he went to Ylore."

Avery replied, "No.""Why? Do you need another operation? Why is it so complicated? Is the doctor confident that your eyes can be cured completely?" Mike said anxiously.She thought she could recover after the operation. Unfortunately, that was not the case."If I recover successfully after this operation, the cornea will be replaced later. After my cornea gets replaced, I can see clearly again." Avery said, "As long as everything goes according to plan, the subsequent operation will be fine.""Oh... How are you going to get the corneas you need? Does the hospital have a cornea bank?" Mike was worried, "Are there any specific requirements for corneal transplantation?""Mike, don't be nervous." Avery said calmly, "The hospital has a cornea bank. The doctor will help me find a suitable cornea. It's pretty trivial. I'm going to recover pretty quickly after the surgery!""You will definitely recover quickly." Mike encouraged her. "Are you scared of the dark? You can't see anything no
