How could her body possibly handle that?
There was only one possible reason why both their phones were off, and it was that something happened to Shea.
Wesley must not have been able to handle the consequences of his actions and decided to flee.
“I‘ll call Shea‘s bodyguard!”
Mrs.
Scarlet‘s eyes reddened as she fumbled with her phone with trembling hands.
If Elyette were not exhausted from this entire ordeal with Robert, she would have called him last night to confirm.
He had never allowed Shea to go somewhere far away with someone else.
She should have been alert.
However, Shea had never lied to her!
Mrs.
Scarlet was anxious and blaming herself.
What would she do if anything happened to Shea?
After she dialed the bodyguard‘s number, her call was answered moments later.
“Bring Shea home right away!”
Mrs.
Scarlet ordered.
“If anything happens to her, neither of us would be able to handle that responsibility!”
The bodyguard immediately got out of bed, then looked around him and said, “I.
I think I was set up!”
T “What did you say?
Mrs.
Scarlet was dumbfounded.
When she saw Elyette from the corner of her eye, she immediately composed herself and said, “Calm down.
Tell me what happened.”
“My mind‘s completely blank!
I‘m in a completely unfamiliar room and I don‘t need MIss Shea .
I‘m afraid someone knocked me out.
.”
The bodyguard quickly left the room.
“It must‘ve been Wesley Brook.
I remember he gave me a glass of water before I blacked out.
.”
Mrs.
Scarlet hung up the phone, then turned to Elyette and sobbed, “The bodyguard said that Wesley knocked him out!
Wesley must have taken Shea away!”
A chill washed over Elyette‘s face.
He stormed off to look for Wesley.
At that moment, Wesley‘s parents were entertaining Averie, who had come to visit them.
“Has Robert gotten any better, Averie?”
asked Wesley‘s mother?
“I heard that he‘s got a rare blood disorder.
Wesley and William have been asking around this entire time to see if they could find a suitable source of blood for Robert.
.”
“Wesley‘s phone is off, Aunt Sandra.
Do you know where he is?”
Averie wanted to find Wesley and ask him face to face.
“His phone‘s off?”
Sandra was a little shocked.
“He doesn‘t usually turn his phone off!
Let me try.”
Sandra found her phone and dialed Wesley‘s number.
Sure enough, she could not get through.
“Is there something urgent you need to talk to him about?
How about I take you to his place right now?
He moved out after what happened in Bridgedale before.”
Averie was stunned.
She had no idea that Wesley had moved out of the house.
She constantly troubled him, but she never truly bothered to care about him.
She was filled with guilt and self–blame.
Wesley had been working tirelessly since Robert got sick.
If the blood he brought really was from Shea.
Then, she might not be able to reprimand him about it!
“Please take me to his place, Aunty Sandra,” Averie croaked lightly.
Sandra did not know what was going on.
“What happened?
What‘s going on with Wesley?
Did.
Did he get abducted again?
“That‘s not it,” Averie explained.
“I don‘t think he was abducted.
I need to talk to him about something else.”
“What is it?”
Sandra held Averie‘s hand, then gazed at her with widened eyes and said, “I only have one son, Averie.
I won‘t be able to handle it if anything happened to him!”
“The hospital received half a pint of blood last night, but the donor did not leave any contact information.
I wanted to ask Wesley if he knew anything about it.”
After Averie’s explanation, Sandra immediately felt relieved.
“You scared me!
I thought he was in trouble!”
Then, Sandra took Averie to Wesley‘s place.
When the two arrived at Wesley’s apartment, a man was standing at his front door!
When Elyette saw Averie and Sandra arrive, the cold expression on his face did not change.
There was nobody in Wesley’s apartment.
He had taken Shea away and nobody knew where they were!
“What are you doing here, Mr. Foster?” asked Sandra. “Are you also here to ask Wesley about that half–pint of blood?”
Averie saw Elyette almost lose control of his emotions, and quickly walked over to him.
“Calm down, Elyette!” she hissed under her breath. “Uncle William and Aunt Sandra don‘t know where Wesley went. I‘ll think of a way to get in touch with him. Give me some time!”
Elyette‘s eyes were bloodshot and the coldness on his face was indifferent to the world.
It was his meticulous and constant care that allowed Shea to live a peaceful and healthy life until now.
Her condition finally took a turn for the better and she was beginning to live a life that was closer to that of a regular person, but Wesley ruined it all!
How dare he draw Shea‘s blood?! Where did he find the guts to do that?!
Would he have acted this heartlessly if Robert was not Averie‘s son?
“If Shea‘s dead, I‘ll make him pay for it with his life,” Elyette said clearly, then shoved Averie aside.
Once he left, Sandra grabbed Averie and said frantically, “What is he talking about? Why would my son have to pay if Shea died?! Wesley didn‘t take a dime from him and took care of Shea for him. How dare he make my son pay with his life?!”
Averie held Sandra up and said absentmindedly, “We suspect that the half–pint of blood was from Shea, Aunt Sandra.”
“Oh… Then, that would be Shea‘s own will! My son would never force anyone! You know he likes you, but he‘s never forced you into anything! He‘s never made trouble for you! You know Wesley. He‘s the world‘s most gentle and accomplished man…”
“I know that, Aunt Sandra. I know the kind of person Wesley is, but if the blood really was Shea‘s, then her body wouldn‘t be able to handle it. As a doctor, Wesley should‘ve been able to guess that. He shouldn’t have listened to Shea even if this was her wish.” Averie’s eyes filled with tears as she spoke. “Can you please help us get in touch with Wesley? It‘s immature for both him and Shea to go off–the–grid like this! If anything happens to Shea, I‘m afraid I won‘t be able to hold Elyette back!”
Back in the day, he had rather broken up with her than reveal the secret between Shea and himself.
Shea was a special existence in his life.
The way Elyette had shoved Averie aside earlier was a reminder that she could never take Shea‘s place in his heart.
However, she would not get jealous the way she used to.
It was not because she no longer cared about him, but because just like him, she also liked Shea very much.
Averie already gave Elyette her answer at the hospital yesterday. If she had a choice, she would never sacrifice Shea‘s health in order to save Robert‘s life.
Robert was her baby, but shea was like a baby to Elyette, too.
“I‘ll go look for Wesley… I’ll find him right away! You have to help him, Averie! If anything happens to Shea, you have to help Wesley! Even if he really did something that rash, it would only be to help your son!” Sandra‘s eyes were red with tears.
“Let‘s find Wesley as soon as possible first, Aunt Sandra. As long as Shea’s still alive, I can guarantee his safety.”
That morning felt as long as an entire century.
Averie contacted all of her and Wesley‘s mutual friends, but none of them knew where he was.
