“You won, Chelsea.” Her tone was especially pleasant.
“Averie Tate’s son is about to die.
He probably could have been born healthy if it weren’t for the premature birth.” Chelsea had already found out about this from Charlie earlier that afternoon.
However, Charlie had only said that the child was seriously ill, and did not mention anything about him being close to death.
“Is he really dying?” Chelsea was a little excited.
“That’s right.
The child’s blood type is extremely rare.
It’d take a miracle for them to find a suitable donor!” Wanda said carefreely.
“The heavens must dislike her as well, and decided to let her suffer this retribution!
Hahahaha!” “That’s perfect!
Knowing she’s suffering makes the pain I’m enduring feel like nothing!” Chelsea said as she felt relieved.
“What’s going on with you right now?
I heard you went abroad,” Wanda asked.
“I’m traveling abroad.
Elyette and I had a complete falling out.
He wants me dead.
It’s too bad he can’t kill me,” Chelsea mocked.
“Why not?
Don’t tell me you plan on hiding for the rest of your life?” “You underestimate me!” Chelsea said arrogantly.
“Without him, I still have Trust Capital and my brother to support me.
I’m living a much better life than I was when I was with him!” “Is your brother that amazing?
Set up a meeting for me one day so I can get to know him!”
“Sure.
I’ll introduce the two of you when I’m back in Aryadelle.” “In that case, I’ll do one more thing for you to show my sincerity!” Wanda cackled wickedly.
“It’s no wonder you’re successful, Wanda.
Of all the people I know, you’re the only one who’s so considerate of me.” Chelsea was in a fantastic mood.
“That’s because Averie Tate is my enemy.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Our friendship was meant to be.” Averie had cried against the steering wheel for what seemed like an eternity when her phone rang in her bag She let out a heavy sigh, then wiped her tears away and pulled her phone out.
She did not recognize the number flashing on the screen.
Normally, she would think before she answered an unknown number.
Since Robert got sick, she had given her contact information to several blood banks, so she answered the call without hesitation.
“Hello, is this Miss Tate?
I have a package delivery for you.
Should I drop it off at the package collection point or send it to your home?” Averie froze for a moment, then said, “Send it to my house.
There are people at home.” She had not purchased anything online recently, so she wondered who the package was from.
Once the call ended, she composed herself, then stepped on the gas and drove off.
Averie arrived at home about half an hour later.
When she got out of the car, she felt a searing pain on her abdomen.
She had cried too hard in the car earlier and strained her wound.
Her stitches had most likely ripped open.
She walked into the living room and was about to tend to her wound when Mrs.
Cooper appeared, pointed at the package on the floor and said, “That’s for you, Averie.
I don’t know what’s inside.
It’s very heavy.
Mrs. Cooper thought about how Averie should not be handling heavy items right now, so she said thoughtfully, “Should I bring it up to your room for you? ” Averie stared at the package in front of her, then shook her head and said, “I didn’t buy anything, so I don’t know what’s inside.
Please open it up for me.” “Alright.
I’ll go get some scissors.” When Mrs.
Cooper went to get the scissors, Hayden and Layla walked over.
Averie was in incredible pain from her wound, so she sat down on the couch.
“What’s in the package, Mommy?” Layla asked as she arrived next to Averie.
“I don’t know, either,” Averie said.
“I didn’t buy anything recently.” Hayden’s brow furrowed.
“Could it be something scary like the last time?” he guessed.
His words sent alarms ringing in Averie’s mind.
Mrs.
Cooper had said that the box was heavy.
Could there be things like bricks or cement inside?
“Take your sister to your room, Hayden.” Averie was worried that there really was something horrifying in the package.
It would be awful if it scared the children.
Hayden glanced at the package for a moment, then grabbed a hold of Layla and dragged her toward the stairs.
“I want to see what it is, Hayden!” Layla huffed quietly.
“You’ll have nightmares if it’s something scary.” “I still want to see!” “We’ll take a look after Mommy opens it.” “Okay!
Why isn’t Uncle Mike home yet?
Didn’t he say he’d stay at home for the next few days to take care of us?
He even said that Mommy needs to be taken care of!” Hayden also did not know why Mike had not returned.
He also had a feeling that something was something off about his mother’s mood.
He had originally thought that everyone except Layla and himself would be happy about Robert’s birth.
In the end, it felt like everyone was upset apart from him and his sister.
Did they not say that Robert would be able to come home after a month or so?
Why was everyone so unhappy?
“I’ll give him a call.” Hayden led Layla into their room, then used his smartwatch to call Mike.
When Mike answered the call, he asked, “Hayden, is your mom home yet?” “Yes.
Why aren’t you back yet?” “I’m at the hospital.
I’ll be back later.” “What are you doing there?
Didn’t they say Robert can’t have visitors?” Mike hesitated for a few seconds as he felt extremely torn.
Even if he kept things from Hayden right now, he was bound to find out if Robert did not make it through this.
“Your brother’s sick.
Things aren’t looking good.” Mike tried his best to keep his tone light.” Take care of your sister, Hayden.” “What’s wrong with him?” Hayden’s expression instantly turned gloomy.
“Can’t they just treat him if he’s sick?” “He needs a blood change.
We can’t find a source right now, so they can’t give him a blood transfusion.
If he doesn’t get one soon, he’ll die.
This isn’t something that can be settled with money, nor is it something that your mother’s medical skills can solve.
That’s why you and Layla need to be alright.
The two of you are the reason for your mother to keep living.
In the living room downstairs, when Mrs.
Cooper opened up the package, a black headstone appeared before her eyes.
She let out a scream of horror and stumbled back several steps!
Averie saw the headstone from the couch and shot to her feet.
Who would send her a headstone?
Whose was it?
Her blood instantly boiled as a strong hunch rose inside of her.
Averie trembled as she walked toward the black headstone… “Averie! Don’t look! ” Mrs. Cooper snapped out of her shock and quickly blocked the headstone from view, not letting Averie catch a glimpse.
Averie quickly rushed over to Mrs. Cooper and shoved her aside.
“I want to see it… Show me!” Before Mrs.
Cooper blocked the headstone, she had already clearly seen the white text engraved on it.
The words read “Here Lies Robert Foster”!
