"Hmm. They seemed to have passed away when you were young.""My grandfather passed away when I was four. My grandmother was grief-stricken when my grandfather passed away. She was in so much pain and grief it caused all sorts of chronic diseases to flare up in her body. She died painfully in the end." Avery's eyes turned wet when she said that. "Before they died, they were still protecting our family, so we weren't in such a tough spot. After they left, Wanda started getting brazen.""How did your grandfather die?" Elliot looked at Avery's eyes, heartbroken.Seeing the tears in her eyes, his hand reached out reflexively. Avery pushed his hand away and wiped her tears. "My grandfather suddenly fell and hurt his brain. He could not be resuscitated. I remembered it clearly. Back then, my father brought me to the hospital to see my grandfather one last time. I wanted so badly to treat him and keep him with me so that he would look after me.""Avery, don't be sad. Your grandparents ar

Elliot's attitude had boosted Avery's confident on her judgement. However, there was still a chance that she might get it wrong.Just like how she had misjudged him in the past.If he dared to barge in without knocking, she would move out and stay in the room next to her bodyguard.About half an hour later, she finished her shower and then made a video call to Hayden.After Hayden accepted the call, the three siblings' faces appeared on her screen. Looking at the sweet scene of her three children together, Avery could not help but cry.This was the first time the three children had gotten together after Robert was a little older. She thought herself to be an incompetent mother. She should have allowed them to meet more often. Even if she had divorced Elliot, she should have found a way to get them together every year."Robert, did you greet Hayden?" Avery laughed and cried at the same time. Robert was a little helpless, not knowing what to do."He did!" Layla answered for him. "

After washing up, Avery got out of her room.The next-door room door was closed tightly. Elliot should still be asleep. Avery decided to head down to have some breakfast. Just when she was by the door about to head out, Elliot's room door opened. He was properly dressed, looking fresh. He walked over to her."Why are you up so early?" Avery asked in surprise."Aren't you up too?" He followed her out of the door. "Look at your eyebags. Did you not sleep last night?""No, I slept, but I kept having nightmares," she said and covered her mouth to yawn. "Let's go and see that person after breakfast!"Elliot looked at her sleepy face. He said, "Do you want to try catching up on some sleep after breakfast? It might be easier for you to sleep during the day.""Is there a scientific basis to this?""None," Elliot said. "Or take some medicine?""I don't have trouble sleeping. I don't need medicine." Avery rejected his offer. "Don't rely on medicine too much. They are part poison.""Bu

The woman pondered for a while before stating her request.Coming out of the detention center, Elliot received a call from his bodyguard.Avery walked to the side and took her phone out. She saw missed calls and messages from her bodyguard.Before arriving at the detention center that morning, she put her phone on silent mode.When she got out of the detention center, she put her phone back into normal mode and returned her bodyguard's call."Miss Tate! Where are you? You were not answering my calls or replying to my messages! I was worried sick!" The bodyguard was so worried he sweated profusely. He was pacing around the hotel lobby with Elliot's bodyguard."Don't worry. We just came out to do something," Avery explained to her bodyguard. "We got up earlier today, so we didn't call you two.""How could you two do that? Where are you right now? We'll meet you there," the bodyguard said.Avery hesitated for a while before refusing his offer.At the same time, Elliot had already

"Why did you come so far to look for a job?" Elliot suppressed his grief. He was afraid that if he looked too sad, it would affect Avery."My family forced me to marry an old man. I was not willing to do it… so I escaped. Back then, I was just thinking of running as far away as I could, so I came all the way here. It's a bustling city. There are many job opportunities…" Holly did not continue further.Elliot's gaze no longer had murderous intent.Holly secretly let out a sigh. She considered herself safe for the time being. She did not want to reveal too much of her past to them. These were her wounds. Telling people meant that she was showing them their wounds.Avery listened to them chatting occasionally. Her heart was empty, yet it was also painful.Actually, she had long prepared for the worst. Now, she had received the confirmation of the worst. An hour later, the car arrived at the first pit."Continue ahead. There will be a fork, and you need to take the path to the righ
