Elyette’s eyes were sore. He sighed a little and walked deeper into the forest with a clenched fist!
After walking for another ten minutes or so, they saw a pale body curled up in the bushes.
When Elyette saw her pale body, illuminated by the cold beam of the torch, tears sprung to his eyes.
He never thought that he would let her end up in such a dangerous and precarious situation!
He loved her!
No woman on this earth fascinated him as much as her. He was obsessed with her.
However, he had forced her into such a situation! The bodyguards remained in the same spot, not daring to proceed forward because Averie was not wearing any clothes.
They saw Elyette taking off his jacket and wrapping it around her. Then, he lifted her up.
The rain suddenly came pouring! The rain penetrated through the forest, falling on them mercilessly.
They were soaking wet by the time they had reached the mansion. It was three in the morning.
A few of Elyette’s friends were still drinking in the main hall. They were waiting for Elyette to return. When they saw him returning with Averie in his arms, they all got up from the sofa. They should have said something to lessen the awkwardness, but no one said anything.
Elyette was only wearing a thin t-shirt. He was soaked from the rain, so the t-shirt was clinging tightly to his body. Water dripped down his hair.
His deep amber eyes were filled with despair and darkness.
The woman in his arms was covered in his jacket. Only her pale and lifeless face could be seen. Her eyes were closed, and they looked as if they would never open again.
The scene at that moment was inexplicably sad and tragic!
Elyette carried Averie upstairs and vanished from everyone’s sight.
After Rosalie’s autopsy report came out, Henry sent it to Elyette immediately.
Rosalie did not die of poison or other injuries. It was determined that she fell to her death.
Henry realized that it would be a good time to bury Rosalie the next day. After Elyette’s reply, Henry immediately informed close friends and family about the time of the funeral.
At the Starry River Villa, Chad came to visit Shea.
Shea was well taken care of. After Shea’s second surgery, she was much more intelligent than before. Although she still needed to be cared for, she was more independent than the average child.
“Mr. Foster’s mother’s funeral is tomorrow.” Chad shared the piece of news with Mike. “He will attend the funeral. Perhaps, he would bring Averie back too.”
Mike nodded. “Can you take me to the funeral?”
Chad looked at him in disbelief. “Only a few of the higher management received the invitation. I’m only a small assistant, what right do I have to bring other people? Also, why are you attending the funeral? If you dare make a fuss, don’t you think the bodyguards will kill you on the spot?”
of course, Mike did not want to die, but he had been unable to reach Averie for two days. Not only was he sick of waiting, but the children were also getting more and more pessimistic.
If Averie did not return soon, he did not know what he was going to tell the children.
Hayden heard their conversation and he started thinking. He had to find a way to find his mommy! He must rescue her!
Rosalie’s funeral was a grand occasion. Security guards surrounded the area, and it was tightly guarded.
At eight in the morning, Elyette’s car arrived at the funeral place. He appeared in front of everyone dressed in all black.
Chad secretly texted Mike, (Mr. Foster came alone. He did not bring Averie along.]
Mike replied, (F*ck!)
[Don’t worry, once the funeral ends, I’ll ask him about her.]
[I’m waiting outside.]
(You’re here?!]
[Hmm, I brought Big H and Shea with me.)
Chad had a bad feeling. (Why did you bring them here? Don’t be reckless! Don’t you dare think of using Shea to threaten Mr. Foster! He hates being threatened. Also, there are many bodyguards here! Other than the ones you see, many bodyguards are stationed around places. You just can’t see them. If you cause any trouble, you might not know who shoots you in the head!)
Mike replied, (I’m so touched. You actually care so much for me.)
Chad typed, (…)
[Big H wanted to come. I couldn’t talk him into doing otherwise, so you don’t meddle in this too.]
Chad was speechless. Was Hayden planning to create a scene at the funeral? Chad’s temple hurt. He wanted to report this to Elyette.
However, when Chad saw Mike’s messages, he held back
Forget about it! He was not going to care about it! He was going to pretend as if he knew nothing. This time, Elyette was the one that crossed the line.
How could he take Averie away and not contact her family?
If Chad were Mike, he would be furious too.
Time passed, and it was almost eleven in the morning. Hayden did not cause a scene. Chad did not even see him.
He did not know what Hayden’s plan was. Whatever his plan was, he might have already abandoned it.
After the funeral, the guests headed to the hotel for lunch.
Chad walked over to Elyette.
“Mr. Foster.”
Elyette stopped and looked at him coldly.
Chad said awkwardly, “My condolences.”
Elyette heard him and headed to the parking lot. Chad quickly chased after him and mustered the courage to ask, “Mr. Foster, is Miss Tate with you? Her children are worried about her safety-”
Elyette swallowed and said hoarsely, “She’s not dead.”
Chad was baffled. What sort of reply was that? She was not dead meaning she was alive but just not too well? Dying could be taken to mean not dead too. Where was she, and what had happened to her?
Chad was in a daze, and Elyette was already in front of the black Rolls-Roice.
The bodyguard opened the door and said helplessly to Elyette. “Miss Shea insisted on waiting for you in the car.”
Shea looked up at Elyette with her bright eyes. She said stubbornly, “Big Brother, I want to be with you. I’m going wherever you’re going.”
Elyette stood by the car door, looking at his sister’s defiant face. He felt something stick to his throat.
Elyette entered the car and shut the door.
“Shea, I’m taking you home.”
Shea’s eyes reddened a little, and she shook her head.
“I still have something to do. Once I’ve settled the matter at hand, I’ll return home to spend time with you,” Elyette said to her while holding her hand.
“Big Brother, you’re a good person, but why were you so fierce to Averie?” Shea was extremely disappointed when she said this. “I heard you saying you want to kill Averie. I’m scared…”
Elyette held her hand tightly and explained patiently, “I was just scaring the kids. Shea, you are not a child, so you won’t be tricked by this, right?”
Shea said, “Can you not bully Averie? If you bully her, Layla and Hayden won’t play with me anymore.”
Elyette’s eyes darkened. “Shea, don’t think too much about it. Just wait for me at home.”
Although shea did not receive a satisfactory answer, she still nodded obediently.
After Elyette sent Shea home, he quickly returned to the car. The black Rolls-Roice was like a flying phantom, racing off to the north.
In the mansion in the forest, Averie was lying on the huge white bed. She slowly opened her eyes.
When she had escaped the night before, she bumped into a wolf in the forest. If it were not for Nick giving her a sharp dagger when he helped her escape, she would perhaps have been devoured by the wolf.
She never would have guessed that one day she would fight off a wolf with a dagger in her hand in the forest.
She was lucky. The wolf bit her once, but she had also stabbed the wolf. It was considered a draw.
After she had stabbed the wolf, it fled. She had passed out because she had lost too much blood.
Before passing out, she was so sure she was going to die. She never thought that she would be still alive…
The scenes of the day before ran through her mind. She looked at the room which did not seem unfamiliar to her. A question rose in her mind. Was Elyette the one who had carried her back the night before?
