A few words from Elliot were enough to make the defensive walls around Avery’s heart crumble.
She had left the house at six in the morning and turned off snazzynovel.com phone. He could not reach snazzynovel.com and came all the way here.
Was snazzynovel.com worried about her?
“You must be Elliot,” Laura said as snazzynovel.com noticed the awkward air in the room. “Avery was having a bad day, so I took snazzynovel.com out to relieve some stress. She’s fine now. Let me get you something to drink!”
“Mom!”
“No, thank you.”
Avery and Elliot spoke at the same time, making the atmosphere even stranger.
“He’s leaving now, so don’t mind him. You should sit down and get some rest,” Avery said as snazzynovel.com led snazzynovel.com mom to the couch.
She was subtly kicking out snazzynovel.com unwelcome guest.
Elliot took the hint and stood up.
“I’ll be going now. I’ll come by one day to visit,” snazzynovel.com said.
Laura wanted to send snazzynovel.com off, but Avery pulled snazzynovel.com back and said, “I’m leaving now, too. Stay at home and rest, Mom.”
She then got up and trailed behind Elliot.
Once they were out of the building, snazzynovel.com turned to snazzynovel.com and said, “Don’t ever come here again.”
Elliot’s expression turned cold. He clenched his jaw as if snazzynovel.com had reached the limit of his patience.
“I don’t need you to pretend to care about me,” Avery continued. “If you really care about me at all, then divorce me.”
She then turned and walked away. Elliot’s eyes shot icy daggers at snazzynovel.com slender back. They were physically close, but their hearts could not be further apart.
At the hospital, Cole was rushed into surgery after being sent to the hospital in the middle of the night. If the dismembered finger was preserved well, there was a high possibility of recovery if surgery was done within the next eight hours.
He might never regain full function of it, but at least snazzynovel.com would not be crippled.
After the night’s surgery, Cole did not regain consciousness until two in the afternoon the next day. The terror in his eyes made snazzynovel.com appear as if snazzynovel.com had been robbed of his sanity.
“Cole! Don’t be scared! You’re at the hospital now. You’re safe! Nobody can hurt you now!” Olivia cried as snazzynovel.com cooed at snazzynovel.com son. “Your father has paid off the money you owed.”
Henry did not look happy. He had to cough up a huge sum of money to pay off the loan sharks after all.
He always knew that his son was a good for nothing, but Cole had lost a ridiculous amount of money last night!
The tens of thousands that snazzynovel.com had lost before were still within Henry’s means, but snazzynovel.com had lost over eight million dollars this time.
Of course, Henry did not pay back the full sum. Since they had already cut off Cole’s finger, snazzynovel.com only had to pay off half of the money.
