Chapter 486
The next day, the doorbell at the Starry River Villa suddenly rang at seven in the morning.
Avery walked out of her bedroom in her pajamas and made her way toward the front door.
When she saw Tammy through the front door’s camera, she opened the door.
After Tammy married Jun, she went abroad for her25 honeymoon.
She had told Avery before that she would spend a month-long holiday.
Why was she back only after two9c weeks?
“How are you feeling, Avery?” Tammy asked as she entered the house with bags of souvenirs.
“I’m fine. I already started going back to work,” Avery said. “Why are you back so23 soon?”
Tammy pulled a long face and said, “I didn’t have fun at all! We were supposed to spend our honeymoon relaxing,
but Jun gets over twenty calls from work every day. Honestly, I feel like getting a divorce.”
Avery poured her a drink, then said, “Don’t be reckless. He just took over his family’s business. Give him someza
time.”
“Hmph, it’s not like I’m not giving him time. He’s just not very capable, so he’s still struggling until now.” Tammy

jobs…”
“I’m always working overtime,” Avery said as she sat down next to Tammy. “I sometimes even have to bring
unfinished work home. It was normal for Mike and I to stay up until three in the morning back when we were
starting up the35 company.”
Her comforting words made Tammy feel a little better.
“Thanks, Avery. Jun said I’m being too unreasonable. Maybe I really am a little bit like that!”
“Did he actually say that?” Avery said in disbelief. “He said I idle and sit around all day, but still interrupt his work.
He even said that you’re working so hard at your job despite raising two kids. He told me to learn a thing or two
from you, even if just a little bit,” Tammy said as her eyes teared up.
Avery took a deep breath.
Jun went too far with his words.
“It’s not all his fault… I’m the one who chastised him first. I mentioned how Elliot Foster seemed to have enough
free time to go out without having to answer calls from work…” Tammy said with puffed cheeks. “Maybe I should
find something to do and distract myself.”
“Tammy, you might think Elliot has it easy, but he works really hard. You just can’t see it,” Avery said. “He has a
huge study at home that he uses at his home office. He can spend all day there when he’s busy.”
“Does it really get that bad?”
Avery nodded and said, “Nobody’s success comes easily. Even as an heir taking over a family business, one would
still need to figure out how to maintain the family’s fortune, right?”
“I guess so… Are the kids still sleeping? Don’t they need to go to school today?” Tammy said, then stood up and
walked upstairs.
Avery’s phone rang, and she saw an unknown number calling.
She hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.
Elliot waited in the hospital director’s office the entire night under the director’s company.
The director had asked Elliot to go home and rest, and said that he would call him right away once they found
Avery’s records.
However, Elliot insisted on waiting at the hospital until he got the results.
The director had no choice but to ask his staff to search for the file through the night.
At the crack of dawn, Elliot went to the records room himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was a large room with countless files.
The records were arranged by year and by each medical department.
Logically, it should not be this difficult to find a simple record.
More than ten employees sifted through the maternity unit’s files from five years ago, but there was no sign of
Avery’s records.
They began to confirm a second time upon Elliot’s arrival.
They finished their second search an hour later.
“Mr. Foster, there are no medical records for Miss Avery Tate here,” said one of the staff.
Elliot frowned as suspicion grew inside him.
“Could you have gotten the wrong hospital, Mr. Foster? Maybe Miss Tate didn’t undergo her abortion procedure at
our hospital?” said the director. “If she underwent surgery here, we would definitely have her records in storage.”
Before Elliot could speak, his bodyguard interjected, “I was the one who brought her to this hospital. How could it be
a mistake?!”
The director froze for a moment, then said, “The possibility of losing a patient’s medical records is practically zero.”
