“You would rather let the police investigate you instead of facing me?” Elyette looked at her reddened eyes and her aggrieved expression. He was instantly heartbroken, like someone slicing him piece by piece.
“Get out!” Averie strode over to him and pushed him toward the door. “If I am wrong, the law will punish me! I don’t need you to insult me!”
The rain was pouring outside like rocks smashing to the ground.
When Elyette was pushed by her into the rain, he was afraid that Averie would be drenched by the rain too, so he pushed her slightly back inside.
They were both separated by the door frame.
He stood under the rain looking at her. The pouring rain soon drenched him completely. The only thing unchanged was his black eyes, stubbornly looking at her.
She was still angry. Even if he stood there under the rain for the entire night, it would not relieve her of her anger!
Averie shut the door with all her might and leaned against the door listlessly. All she could hear was the pitter-patter of the rain and the sound of her heart smashing to pieces.
A long time later, tears flowed from the corner of her eyes to the corner of her mouth. A booming thunder could be heard from outside!
She did not know if he was still outside the door at that moment. She quickly turned around and opened the door.
The instant she opened the door, he looked up.
She saw him wiping away the rain on his face with his huge palms. Then, his jet-black eyes were looking at her once again.
At that moment, even if thunder came down on her, even if the skies fell on her, it would not stop her from losing control of her steps! She strode into the rain and walked toward him!
Elyette was in a daze looking at Averie coming out. Before he could think of anything, his body already took a step toward her.
He picked her up in his arms and strode back indoors.
Although Averie had only been in the rain for a few seconds, her face was wet from the rain…or perhaps it was tears!
“Averie, I’m not suspecting you. You said you didn’t do it, that means you didn’t do it.” Elyette placed Averie down on the sofa. He bent down and explained patiently, “Zoe is so sure that you harmed her. If she reported it to the police, the police would surely come looking for you. I don’t want you to be questioned like a criminal. If we can find an alibi for you beforehand, the police won’t need to come to look for you anymore.”
Averie looked at Elyette’s wet and wretched look. She could not get angry.
“I went to look for Wesley today,” Averie’s voice had no emotions in them. “I was at his house the entire day.”
“You were in his house the entire day?” The tenderness in Elyette’s eyes instantly vanished. His tone was obviously more nervous.
“Yes. Are you going to ask what I was doing in his house?” Averie’s clear eyes saw the changes on his face. Her heart hurt. “This is my private matter. I can’t telled you.”
Elyette felt as if he was ambushed in the dark. He secretly let out a pained muffled grunt
Wesley and she were doing things in private that even he could not be toldge about.
Elyette’s body was so cold he shivered. When he got up, his gaze at her was a little disappointed and disheartened. He clenched his fists tightly and soon vanished from her sight.
This time, he left. He left without looking back
At one in the morning, Mike’s car drove into the courtyard. After Mike paid the driver, the fumbled to get out of the car.
When he was by the entrance, he noticed that the huge door was opened. A lamp was turned on in the living area. Averie was lying on the sofa like a lifeless corpse!
“Averie!” Mike was instantly sobered.
He quickly ran to the sofa and pressed his hands on her cheeks. He was burned by the temperature of her body.
“Bloody hell! How did she have a fever?” Mike was instantly frantic. He did not know what to do.
She was a pregnant woman at that moment, he did not dare to let her take any medication.
He found a cooling pad from the room where they stored medicine and placed it on her forehead. Then, he called Elyette.
“Averie is having a fever! I don’t know what I should do! Should I call the ambulance, or should I send her to the hospital?” Mike did not dare to simply move her about. He was afraid that something might happen to the child in her tummy.
Elyette gripped his phone tighter. He wanted to go care for her immediately, but when he thought about the things that she told him that night, his heart hurt so badly that he turned sinister. “Go get Wesley!”
“Oh? Oh!” Mike was in a daze for a while before hanging up and calling Wesley.
In less than half an hour, Wesley rushed over with his medical suitcase. Mike returned to his room because Wesley was there to care for Averie.
Soon, dawn came.
Averie opened her eyes and the things that happened the night before flooded her mind.
Zoe’s eyes had been gouged. She said that she was the one who did it. Zoe even said that she heard her voice when it happened.
To prove a person is guilty, one must produce evidence of a crime! Zoe would never be able to produce any evidence that says that she was guilty!
Elyette made her produce evidence that she was not guilty. Legally speaking, she did not need to do that, so she could not just accept this.
In the afternoon, Elyette received a call from the captain of the police station.
“Mr. Foster, Averie was accompanied by a male friend just now. She came in to hand in evidence of her whereabouts yesterday. I had a look. She was at her male friend’s house the entire day. Zoe’s incident most likely has nothing to do with her. But…” The captain hesitated for a bit before continuing, “Mr. Foster, Miss Tate’s relationship with this male friend doesn’t seem that simple.”
A man and woman staying at home the entire day. The woman said that it was her private matter, so she could not tell anyone about it. How simple could their relationship be?
Elyette thought that their relationship was not simple, it was borderline fantasy!
“I know.” Elyette heard his own voice. There were no emotions in them. Did he not care? No. He was just helpless.
Averie wanted to stay in another man’s house for an entire day and not tell him the reason, but what could he do? Pry her mouth open? Even if he pried her mouth open, she would not tell him.
At the hospital.
The police told Zoe about Averie’s alibi. Zoe did not believe them after hearing it.
“I’m blind right now. I can’t see anything. It can’t be whatever you said it is! I don’t believe you!” Zoe said agitatedly.
“Miss Sanford, you can get your family to look at the evidence,” The police said and looked at Cole. “You’re her family,cd right?”
Cole immediately said, “Officer, I believe in the work of the police.”
Zoe yelled out loud, “He is not my family! Officer! He isge not!”
Zoe knew clearly that the person who blinded her other than Averie was Cole!
If without Cole’s help, how could Averie so easily get to her? It was only she who did not dare to expose Cole for it. She was going to end her life, but her father was still around. What if Cole, that dirtbag, went to look for trouble with her father?
“Officer, I am Zoe’s father. Please show me the evidence.” Richard walked over to the police with a wearied expression.
