Chapter 393 Avery’s body was getting hotter, and her skin was getting redder! It looked like she was going to burn
to death!
No matter how many times he said her name, Avery did not react!
His heart constricted tightly.
“Doctor!” Elliot rushed out of the room, searching for the doctor. The doctor quickly rushed over. When he saw the
situation, he immediately said, “Mr. Foster, we have to stop her fever immediately. We either put her back on the
drip, or we will have to administer medication. What do you want me to do?”
“She has already passed out. How is she going to take the medication? Am I to feed her with my mouth!”
Sweat beaded on the doctor’s forehead. “Then I’ll put her back on the drip.”
As the saline had pooled on the floor, the doctor had to replace the bottle before he replaced the catheter.
Elliot stood by the side of the bed, looking down at the unconscious Avery. He only wanted an answer from her! Why
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould she choose death over giving him the info he wanted?
At that thought, he was so heartbroken he wanted to strangle her himself!
This woman, other than causing him pain, what else could she do?
At the Starry River Villa, Layla cried until her eyes were red. She kept muttering that Elliot was a bad person.
Shea was like a child who had done something wrong. She stood to the side with her head hung low. She did not say
anything.
She had never thought that her big brother would be so fierce. Elliot had never been that fierce with her. Why was
he treating Avery so badly?
Chad was as equally stumped as Shea. He could understand the grief that Elliot was feeling with the loss of his
mother, but why was Elliot taking it out on Avery?
“Mr. Foster must have his reasons for doing so,” said Chad to Mike as he adjusted his glasses. Mike was furious.
When Mike heard Chad’s voice, his head hurt. “Just leave!”
“Oh… then Shea stays with you for now?” Chad had to ensure Shea’s safety.
“Of course, she stays here! If Elliot dares touch a single hair on Avery, I’ll immediately dissect Shea!”
Chad replied, “Oh… Before they return, you must take good care of Shea! I’ll come again tomorrow.”
After Chad left, Mike carried Layla, “Lalya, baby, stop crying. Elliot was just trying to scare you because he’s afraid
we would expose his ugly photos.”
Layla sniffled. She was a little angry. “Uncle Mike, I don’t like him anymore.”
“Uh, since when did you like him?” Mike was confused.
Layla said, “I used to like him in my dreams —”
“Oh, he must be a good person in your dreams, which was why you liked him, right?”
Layla nodded pitifully. She had hoped that her father was a good person. She hoped so badly to one day be
reconciled with him. However, she had been disappointed time after time, and she no longer held this fantasy.
She had already come to terms with reality. She could not be reconciled with that bad person. She only wanted her

It was ten o’clock at night when Avery’s fever broke. It had taken three bottles of saline to finally break her fever.
She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar room. Her memories slowly came flooding back.
“Miss Tate, you’re up?” An unfamiliar voice drifted to her. It was a nanny that Elliot hired to look after her.
“You have not had any food the entire day, you must be hungry. There’s oatmeal porridge here.” The nanny
unscrewed the flask and scooped some porridge out. The aroma filled the room.
“Miss Tate, let me feed you!” Avery closed her heavy eyelids and turned her head the other way. She refused. She
did not want to talk to either Elliot or the people by his side.
If he would not let her go, she was going to die there.
The nanny sighed, put the bowl down, and went out to consult Elliot.
A moment later, Elliot’s tall figure appeared in the room. He had already showered, and he was wearing a gray
robe.
He walked over to the bed and looked at Avery’s weary face. He threatened her fiercely,” Avery, if you’re not going
to let the nanny feed you, I don’t mind feeding you myself!” She gripped the sheets tightly, ignoring his threats!
