Chapter 320 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

“I see. Has Elyette contacted you yet?” Mike asked nosily. “He didn’t really betray you this time, right? He didn’t marry Chelsea, but he was being threatened instead. You know the reason behind it,ed too…” “Who told you to stand up for him?” Averie opened her eyes and glared at him. “Aren’t I just speaking the truth?” Mike shrugged. “I swear nobody told me to stand up for him. I just thought about things from his point of view. Someone as proud as him definitely wouldn’t be able to accept their private matters beingle exposed.” “You’re right,” Averie said agreeably. “He would rather hurt me and the children just to maintain his reputation. Of course, there was nothing wrong with what he did from his point of view.”

Mike smacked himself on the lips, then said, “I better not talk about him. The more I do, the more you hate him.”

“My hatred for him is constant and won’t be affected by external factors,” Averie said fairly.

“Got it. Get some rest. I’ll wake you when we get home.”

That evening in Aryadelle, Ben arrived at the Foster mansion and brought with him the news of Charlie Tierney’s death.

“I didn’t expect Chelsea to become this ruthless, Elyette.” Ben opened up a bottle of wine, then poured himself a glass and took a sip. “Charlie was begging on his knees, but she didn’t waver at all. I suddenly find her quite scary.”

“She’s not the scary one.” Elyette’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. Then, he said chillingly, “I was the one who told her that, between her and her brother, only one could live.”

Ben instantly understood the situation.

*Take some time off and rest, Elyette!” Ben picked up an empty glass and poured Elyette a glass of wine. “You’ve suffered through a lot lately.” Elyette took over the glass of wine, then said hoarsely, ‘I didn’t suffer through anything.”

Averie and the children were the ones who were truly wronged,

“I know what you’re thinking, but she’s most likely still furious with you right now. You’ll get kicked out if you hastily run to her now.” Ben could not bear to watch Elyette endure that sort of humiliation. “Jun invited her to his wedding on the first of April. She should be attending. That would be a good opportunity to act.”

Elyette did not respond.

He was not sure if he would be able to wait that long.

A month was not that long, but it was not short either. It was enough for a lot of changes to happen.

“Hayden and Layla should be going back to school soon, right? She probably will be back in Aryadelle soon, then.” Seeing Elyette’s long face, Ben racked his brain to come up with ideas for him.

If Averie returned to Aryadelle, then there was still a chance. If she continues to refuse to return, things would be trickier to handle. “She picked up a job in Bridgedale.” Elyette recalled the folder he found in Averie’s room before. “The patient has the same illness that Shea did.”

“Oh? What a coincidence.” Ben was a little shocked. “Does that mean she won’t be coming back for now? What a shame. Although, picking up this job probably means that she’s still thinking about Shea!” It had not been long since Shea passed away. How could Averie possibly have forgotten about her?

Two days later, Mike brought Hayden and Layla back to Aryadelle. Chad picked them up from the airport. When he saw the children, he gave them each a small gift. “Thank you, Uncle Chad.” Layla accepted the gift, but Hayden turned away and refused. This was because Hayden knew that Chad was Elyette’s personal assistant.

“Hold on to your brother’s gift for him for now, Layla! It’s nothing fancy.” Chad quickly handled the awkward situation, then turned to Mike and asked, “When will Averie and Robert be coming back?” “I don’t know. Her patient just woke up when we were leaving. “Mike picked Layla up, then said, “Let’s talk when we get home! Is there anything to eat at home? Should we get something to eat before heading back?” “I made a few simple dishes, but I don’t mind eating out either,” Chad said modestly. “Since you already cooked, let’s just go home and eat!” Mike glanced at Hayden, then cleared his throat and said, “Listen, Hayden. Uncle Chad and your father have a purely business relationship! He’s on our side.” Hayden shot him a cold look and said, “Make him quit his job, then.”

“Well, I…”

Chad saw how Mike had turned scarlet and could not get a word now, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, “I’m a spy that your Uncle Mike placed by your father’s side. Do you know what a spy is? Basically, whatever your father does every day, I have to report it to Mike.”

Hayden lifted his eyes, then asked Mike, “Is that true?” “Of course! Do you think your mother would let him into our house if he wasn’t on our side?” Mike decided to use Averie to make his words more convincing. “Don’t worry, Big H. I’ll be the first one to deal with him if he ever betrays us.” Over in Bridgedale, Adrian woke up the second night after his surgery. He might have woken up, but his condition was not ideal. Whether it was the doctors or his family speaking to him, he was unresponsive. He seemed to not be able to hear a sound. He stared blankly ahead for a while, then shut his eyes and fell asleep.

Averie could not slip away and had no choice but to let Mike return to Aryadelle with the twins first.

Adrian’s family was not happy with his post-surgery condition, but at least they did not give Averie a hard time about it.

Both parties signed an agreement before the surgery. Averie would treat Adrian’s illness, but she could not guarantee that the surgery would be a complete success. Three days after the surgery, Averie’s phone rang at noon. Once she heard the phone ringing, she quickly wrapped up changing Robert’s diaper, then picked up her phone and answered the call.

“Adrian’s awake, Doctor Tate. He can hear us this time and he’s responding.” Adrian’s father, Nathan, was the one on the other line. Averie suddenly felt relieved, “I’ll head over to the hospital right away.”

She hung up the phone, then handed the baby to Mrs. Cooper. Once she arrived at the hospital, she hurried over to the patient’s room. “He went back to sleep again, Doctor Tate,” Nathan said in confusion with furrowed brows.” Is he still weak from the surgery? He isn’t just going to be unconscious this whole time, is he? If that’s the case, then he was better off before the surgery!”

“You’ve never had major surgery before, have you? The week after a major surgery is when the patient is at their weakest,” Averie said sternly.

“I see. Don’t get mad, Doctor Tate. I’m not doubting you. I just feel like he’s still kind of an idiot.” Nathan rubs his hands together. He was clearly unhappy with the post-op results.

Averie’s heart tightened in her chest.

“Please step outside for a moment. Let’s have a private chat.”

Once the two of them stepped out of the room, Averie said, “My last patient had the same illness as Adrian. She was only able to recover to the point of being able to care for herself again until after the second surgery. It also did not happen right away.

She slowly recovered with the patience, love and care from her family members. I know you’re worried about Adrian, but can you not treat him like an idiot? I can tell you for certain that it’s practically impossible that he will turn back into an ordinary person.

A wave of misery flashed across Nathan’s eyes. “I thought you really were a miracle worker! Didn’t your last patient pretty much turn into an ordinary person after surgery?” “I’m not a miracle worker. Whoever told you that my last patient was pretty much normal after surgery, you can take that up with them.” When Averie thought of Shea, she could not help from being emotional.

“Why are you being so emotional? It’s not like I’m asking you for compensation.” Nathan gazed at Averie with a confused expression on his face. “Why do you look like you’re about to cry? I’m not shouting at you or hitting you. How can you be a doctor with this level of mental capacity?”

When a nurse walked by and overheard their conversation, she immediately walked over and said, “How could you speak to Doctor Tate that way, Sir? Do you know how difficult the surgery that she did was? Besides, your son’s surgery was rather successful. He just woke up, a surgery is considered a success when a patient wakes up and their life is not in danger.” Averie took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, then headed back into the patient’s room.

She had yet to see what Adrian looked like when he was conscious, so whatever Nathan said should not affect her mood. When she walked into the room and saw Adrian’s pale complexion, her emotions wavered. The reason why her eyes reddened earlier had nothing to do with the surgery, but that she actually heard Elyette’s voice in Nathan. In her mind, Elyette and the middle-aged man in front of her were gradually overlapping and turning into the same person. She imagined that Elyette was the one chastising her, which was why she lost control of her emotions for a moment.

Soon after, the nurse walked into the room and handed Averie a glass of water. “Don’t take Mr. White’s words to heart, Doctor Tate. He doesn’t really care about his son at all. I should probably say that nobody in that family cares about Adrian. The nurses are the one who take care of him every day.

We were the ones who called them over when Adrian woke up.” The nurse’s words made Averie’s heart sink Nathan had continuously told her that he loved this son more than anything. However, it was clear from his actions today that everything he said before was a lie!
