Mike coughed and said, "There’s no need to get the cops involved! Avery, where are you right now?
You sounded weak and exhausted.”
Avery stood up with the support of the pillar next to her and lied, "I’m at home."
"Oh, were you still sleeping? Get back to bed! I'm fine, just feeling wronged... Chad blames me for
everything, he's so unreasonable!” Mike felt better after a rant session with Avery.
Avery got a cab and headed home.
She popped a fever pill and fell asleep in her bed. Laura didn’t manage to ask what happened to her.
At the old mansion, Elliot had been in the shower longer than an hour. He was still thinking about last
night, and couldn't accept that it was Zoe. He could settle Zoe anytime, but how could he face Avery?
He was more certain than before that he was still very much in love with Avery.
He couldn’t lie to himself that he was unable to forget about her.
Elliot got out of the bathroom and stumbled upon Mrs. Cooper and Shea. "Master, Shea waited for you
all night," Mrs. Cooper said.
Yes! Elliot recalled Avery came over to his room and told him to go home to Shea! He felt a sharp ache
against his heart. Did she or did she not come last night?
He remembered clearly that she did. The thought of them intimate on the bed...

"I couldn’t reach you last night, so I called Avery for help. She promised to look for you, but you didn't
come home last night... She didn't manage to get you." Mrs. Cooper said to Elliot.
Shea cried till 3 in the morning, and only stopped because she was exhausted. As was Mrs. Cooper.
Elliot was shocked. His eyes looked down and uttered, "She found me... I heard her informing me..."
Mrs Cooper said, "Oh? Then you must be too drunk to come home. I'll go get you some aspirin to
sober up."
She left Elliot and Shea in the room. He looked at Shea, her eyes still swollen from all the crying last
night. "Shea, why did you cry last night? Did you miss big brother?"
Shea looked down and shook her head, "I'm afraid of them... They hit me..."
Elliot embraced Shea in his arms and asked, “Did you have bad dreams last night? They are already
dead. Now, Shea, I will protect you forever! No one is going to bully you from now onwards!
"But...you weren't here last night.” Shea sobbed. told him to go home to Shea! He felt a sharp ache
against his heart. Did she or did she not come last night?
"I'm so sorry, Shea." Elliot felt a heartache against his chest.
He got dressed as Shea fell asleep. Elliot was experiencing dream-reality consutions. He needed to
talk to Avery. 2
At the Starry River Villa, a black rolls-roice was parked right at the entrance. Laura shut down the
entrance as soon as she saw his car. 2
"Grandma, why did you close up the door?" Layla asked confusedly.
Laura's face was grim, "Elliot Foster is outside, you’re not allowed to open the door! Understand?"
Layla nodded her head vigorously and went looking for her brother.
Elliot looked at the closed entrance. He took out his phone and dialed Avery’s number.
