The bodyguard and doctor immediately took Elliot away.Avery sat on the bed, hugging her knees close to her chest, sobbing loudly.Time drew her deeper into the night, clearing her mind. She could hear regret screaming in her heart.She heard the whirring and rumbling of the helicopter on the rooftop. Soon, the droning of the helicopter disappeared into the night. She heard footsteps outside her door, but she did not look up. She did not care who it was that wanted to enter her room. The individual came in, walked over to her bed and covered Avery with a clean set of blankets. He picked up the dagger that was still covered in blood. "Miss Tate. I gave you this dagger to protect yourself, not commit murder," Nick said helplessly, "I'll have to take this dagger back."Avery sobbed out loud. "I did try to kill him, but I didn't dare to do it.""Well, you did provoke him," Nick said calmly. "The result was the same as stabbing the dagger into his heart yourself. What difference

Mike picked up a cup of water. "What happened to your boss? Please don't come looking for Avery every time he is in trouble—""He's dead." Chad felt uncomfortable.With a puff, Mike spurted water from his mouth. "Are you pulling my leg? Did you just say he died? How did he die?""I don't know. The internet said that he's dead."Mike was speechless. Seeing how Chad was almost in tears, he immediately placed the cup of water down and headed to his room."Don't worry. Let me ask Avery. I was on the phone with her yesterday afternoon. She said that her injury was not that bad anymore. She should be able to return in a few days. She didn't say that anything had happened to Elliot—""It happened early morning today." Chad followed Mike into his room. "We can't get to him or his bodyguard. I have been working with him for so many years. This is the first time that this has happened."Mike got his phone and called Avery. At the same time, he put it on loudspeaker.It was some time befo

Would they need to visit their Dad's grave now that he was dead?"Go if you want. I'm not going," Hayden said coldly before returning to his classroom."Hayden, woo, woo… I miss Mommy. When is she coming back?" Layla quickly chased after him and held his arm."She should be back soon." Hayden had a feeling.Elliot was dead. Her Mommy did not need to worry about anything anymore.…Mike drove to Elizabeth Hospital and handed Avery to Wesley.When Avery saw Wesley, she asked, "Which hospital is he at?"Wesley replied, "At General Hospital. The latest news that I got was that they are still trying to resuscitate him. Don't worry." Wesley helped her onto the bed.After a while, Avery slowly came to her senses. "Wesley, did you say he is not dead?"Wesley sighed. "He had a cardiac arrest, but they've resuscitated him. They're still trying to make sure that he's alright."Avery let out a sigh of relief.Wesley pushed her to the emergency room. He used a pair of scissors and cut

Ben stood by the bed and spoke to him.Elliot's face remained blank and emotionless despite Ben's words. Ben understood why.Elliot even dared to kill himself. Was there anything else that he could not let go of? There would be someone to take care of Shea even if he died.A moment later, the doctor arrived. After examining Elliot, the doctor said, "Mr. Foster, you're very weak. You need to stay in the hospital for treatment. If you feel any discomfort, please let me know immediately."Elliot closed his eyes.Ben dragged the doctor outside to talk to him."He should have passed the critical phase, right?" Ben asked.The doctor replied, "As long as he cooperates and follows the treatment plan, he'll be fine. However, he doesn't want to live, and that isn't good for him."Ben pursed his lips. "I'll think of something."An hour later, Ben brought Shea to the hospital. "Shea, your brother is terribly hurt. Could you go comfort him, please?"Shea blinked her eyes and furrowe

At that moment, the guest that Avery mentioned arrived.A black Buick multi-purpose vehicle pulled up at the entrance.The car doors opened, and two bodyguards stepped out of the car. Tammy watched the commotion outside."Who is he? Why did he bring so many people along?!"Avery got up from the sofa. When she walked pass Tammy, she answered, "Eric Santos."After a few months of rehabilitation, Eric could finally stand up. He, accompanied by his family, came to pay Avery a visit. He wanted to thank her in person. Eric was dressed in black and white sportswear with a cap on his head. His face was covered by a mask and sunglasses.At one glance, it was difficult for others to see his facial features.

I'm afraid that neighbors would call the police."Tammy suppressed the urge.Eric
