Moreover, there was only one bed here. Since Elliot was sick, Avery planned to give him the bed. After taking a shower, she came to the sofa and sat down. She thought of spending the night on the couch tonight. However, Elliot also came over half an hour later. As he had slept the entire afternoon, it was understandable that Elliot was not sleepy, and Avery could not just force him to go to sleep. On the other side of the video call, the technical department manager said, "You've been dragging this, causing me to lose sleep for a week! Avery, let's have a heart-to-heart talk!" The head of the development department chimed in, "I also have insomnia every day! Not only can I not sleep well, but I can't even eat!" "I've been losing more and more hair lately! My hair was never much to begin with!" The person in charge of the personnel department followed.These old men were just telling sob stories to force Avery to decide immediately. Elliot frowned and directly snatched Avery's

"My son has never lived in such a harsh environment since he was born… Never! What type of karma is this! It's all my fault! Why did I get Avery to be his wife? There are so many women, yet I chose this vixen!"…In the room, Elliot's breathing gradually became stable. Avery reached out and touched his forehead. Even though Elliot was clammy, his temperature was normal. As she was afraid that he would wake up thirsty at night, she got out of bed and poured a glass of water, and placed it on the table beside him. When Avery woke up the following morning, Elliot was nowhere to be seen. She picked up her phone and checked the time.It was already past eight in the morning.Elliot sent her a message just after six in the morning, [I slept well last night, so I'll leave first.]Avery's cheek instantly flushed. It was only a text from him, so why was she feeling warm? Then, she found the remote control and turned off the heater. After washing up and leaving the room, Laura called her

Chelsea was speechless. She had mentally prepared herself the entire morning so that she would not be jealous of Avery when she saw Elliot. However, her psychological defenses had collapsed! Chelsea endured the pain and left the banquet hall.Not far away, Charlie watched Elliot snub his sister again. What made it worse was she had been snubbed in her own house. It would be a lie if Charlie had said that it did not hurt him, and it would also be a lie if he had said that the situation had not embarrassed him. Charlie wanted Elliot to compensate his sister for all ten years of her youth she had wasted on him. After lunch, Elliot went to the guest room to rest. He did not expect Avery to arrive just yet. Did she not say being with Charlie was really comfortable? Was she lying to him? When Elliot arrived at the guest room, he did not lie down. He was not very sleepy, and he only came here because he did not want to socialize. Later, he sent a text to his bodyguard.[Call me when

Charlie patted down his wrinkled shirt, then snapped coldly, "I'm not his bodyguard, Chelsea! I don't have time to keep tabs on him! Go look for him yourself!"Chelsea violently punched Charlie in the chest and shrieked, "I can't reach his phone, and I can't find him! His bodyguard doesn't know where he is either! Stop pretending! You installed that signal blocker on purpose! This is all part of your crazy plan!"Charlie clasped a hand over her mouth and he flung her over his shoulder with the other. "Listen to me, Chelsea! I have to lock you in your room for now. You won't suffer again after tonight!"Back in the banquet hall, Avery shot to her feet.The uneasiness in her heart rose as she took in the unfamiliar faces around her.She pulled out her phone and noticed Elliot's missed calls and text message which read: [Look for me when you see this! I'll be in the banquet hall!]Avery was in the banquet hall, but where was Elliot?She tried calling him, but her call was immedia

A glimmer of light not too far away suddenly grabbed Avery's attention.She shone the flashlight of her phone in the direction of the glimmer.At the bottom of the sprawling ravine was the clear silhouette of a man lying on the ground."Elliot!"Avery let out a shrill cry before she got down on all fours and crawled toward the ravine."I'm coming, Elliot! Don't be scared! You'll be fine… You'll be okay!"Hearing her cries, the bodyguard stood on top of the hill and yelled, "Did you find him?!""Yes! He fell! He's covered in blood!" Avery yelled as she tried to contain her emotions. "Get over here!"She took a deep breath and jumped down to where Elliot was.Her foot slipped upon the sudden impact, which caused her to draw a sharp breath of pain.She swiped the tears off her face and quickly scrambled to where Elliot was and took him into her arms. "Elliot! Wake up! Don't fall asleep! Stay awake!"She held his face that was cold to the touch in her hands, lowered her head,
