Back then, Elyette asked the director a lot of detailed questions on set. The director told him that the children would eat, stay, and play together with the celebrities, just like real parents bringing their children up.
When he heard that, he was utterly disappointed.
He wanted to kill the program. No. he wanted to kill Eric! If Layla insisted on partaking in this program, changing a different partner for Layla would not make him feel too terrible.
However, Elyette knew that Layla joined the program because of Eric. If Elyette were to boycott Eric once more, Averie would argue with him terribly. Averie’s tummy was getting bigger by the moment. Elyette did not dare to make her angry in case it affected the child, so he let her be.
That night, Elyette did not shut his eyes at all.
When the day came, he got up and made himself some coffee. After drinking coffee, he decided to use work to distract himself from thinking.
Before Averie returned to the country, he could not change anything.
An hour later, Chelsea called her cousin, Nora.
“Nora, quickly go dress up. Elyette is going to visit the Dream City site today. Follow along. If he asks why are you going, just say that you liked this project a lot.”
Nora answered the call and immediately got out of bed. “Okay, I’ll get up now. Ouch. My head hurts. Bloody hell, I met a dirtbag in the club last night. He insisted I was Averie. He kept harassing me. I was furious.”
Chelsea furrowed her brows. “Who told you to go to a nightclub! This is Avonsville. Many people know Averie and Elyette. Do you still remember what that guy looks like?”
Nora said, “No, I can barely remember, but I asked his name. He is Elyette’s nephew, Cole Foster. Chelsea, this man has no use to me, right? He was mesmerized by me, If we could get him to do something for us, that would be good.”
Chelsea was silent for a while. She said, “I’ll think about it. Go to Dream City today first. We’ll take it one step at a time.”
In Bridgedale, after Averie roughly went through the medical records that she brought back, she was feeling rather excited.
The patient’s condition, from what she could see from the medical records , was exactly the same as Shea’s!
Shea’s illness was a rare type of illness, so to be able to encounter the same condition, Averie found it unbelievable.
She looked at the patient’s basic contact once more and realized that the patient was the same age as Shea, only of a different gender.
Averie found it interesting, so she texted Wesley, (Wesley, I met a patient in Bridgedale that has the exact same condition as Shea. I’m hesitating whether to take on this surgery, because I can’t guarantee that the surgery will be a success.)
Wesley soon replied to her message, (Talk to the patient’s family. If the family can accept the risk of the surgery failing, you can take it. After all, you have the experience of Shea’s surgery. I believe that other than you, no one else can do it better.)
Wesley’s reply boosted Averie’s confidence a lot.
She replied, (Then I’ll meet with the patient’s family tomorrow.]
The next day, under the accompaniment of the bodyguard, Averie met with the patient and the patient’s family. When she saw the patient, it was as if she was electrocuted! She was in a daze for a long time!
The meeting went much smoother than expected. The patient’s family understood clearly the risks that Averie stated. They only wished that Averie could help treat the patient. Even if the surgery failed, they would still accept it.
After the meeting, Averie came out from the patient’s home. She turned around and looked at the mansion behind her before entering the car with a heavy heart.
The bodyguard reminded her to buckle her seatbelt before driving on the wide road.
Averie could not help but say, “Have you ever seen two people who were born in different countries yet looked alike?”.
The bodyguard said, “Miss Tate, I rarely travel. I barely know any foreigners.”
“Then, have you ever seen two unrelated people in the same country who look alike?” Averie changed her question.
The bodyguard thought for a while before saying, “I don’t know many people, but I think situations like this do exist, only quite rare. I think I saw it on the news before. Miss Tate, why are you suddenly asking me this?”
Averie was a little stunned. Then, she immediately shook her head. “Nothing much. Let’s head to the mall to buy some stuff.”
The bodyguard offered, “What do you need to buy? Why don’t I send you home and I’ll go get it? Mike has instructed me to not let you go to crowded places. It would be bad if they bump into you.”
Averie said, “What else has he instructed?”
The bodyguard thought for a while. “Mike also said to not let you out at night and to be careful when you head out during the daytime. Also, do not meet strangers.”
Averie said, “There are so many pregnant women on the street. All of them are fine. What could happen to me?”
The bodyguard looked around. “Where? Where are the pregnant women? I only see you!”
Averie was speechless. She was just stating an example!
It looked like her bodyguard was not only lacking attention to ordinary life, but he was also quite dense. However, all Averie wanted was his loyalty.
“It’s not a weekend today, there shouldn’t be a crowd at the mall,” Averie said, “The gift that the patron gave me was not cheap. I have to return a gift.”
“Oh, okay, then! Miss Tate, although you’re not as feminine as the other women, I admire women like you even more. You are capable and you could even still bear children! You’re amazing!” The bodyguard praised.
Averie said, “You don’t know how to kiss ass. Just don’t do it. I won’t reward you any less.”
The bodyguard said seriously, “Miss Tate, I’m not kissing ass! I’m being serious!”
He was serious when he said that she was not feminine.
Although Averie did not think that praising a woman for being feminine is good praise, with the bodyguard’s education and character, he must have thought that being feminine was very high praise toward a woman.
“Miss Tate, did I misspeak?” The bodyguard did not see a smile on Averie from the corner of his eyes, so he asked worriedly.
Averie said, “No. I’m happy that you praise me, but you don’t have to do it in the future.”
The bodyguard was stunned, “Oh, okay!”
In Aryadelle, at the construction site of Dream City.
This was a project that the Sterling Group invested in. Once built, it would be the first large scale amusement park from a modified intellectual property in the country.
When Elyette got out of the car, he saw Nora standing by the safety rails afar waving at him.
“Elyette, Chelsea said that you are visiting the site today, so I came here on my own.” Nora smiled brightly at him. “I’m a huge fan of Dream City! I’ve seen all of its movies! I’m even at the highest level in their video games! I’ve been waiting for this amusement park to be read!” Elyette looked at Nora, who looked like Averie, in a daze. “It’s not ready yet.”
“But I can’t wait to go in and have a look!” Nora pleaded, “Elyette, can you bring me in? I promise I won’t cause you any trouble. Also, as a fan of Dream City, I can give my opinions and suggestions once I have a look inside!”
Elyette pondered for a few seconds before agreeing.
Once they had their safety helmets on, they followed the project manager to the site.
The project manager updated the progress of every single site, as well as the remaining workload and timeline of the project.
Nora listened attentively. She could occasionally chime in. It was obvious that she was a true fan of Dream City.
“Nora, after Dream City is completed, I can transfer you over here to work.” Elyette thought that this decision would make her very happy, but there was no smile on Nora’s face.
