Chapter 275 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

Hayden stood still after learning what had happened.

Mike noticed that he seemed depressed and tapped him on the shoulder. “Big H, do you miss your mom? I will take you and Layla to Bridgedale in a few days. It‘s late now, go back to sleep! By the way, it might look scary out there, but the fire won‘t spread to our area, so don’t worry. Go to sleep!”

Hayden hadn‘t thought of Averie until Mike mentioned her. He was actually affected by the noises of the ambulance and the light from the fire in the dark night; when he realized that someone might die during the disaster, his heart simply grew heavy.

He had not been this sentimental before, but perhaps Shea‘s passing had traumatized his young heart.

The next day, the fire that broke out in the city center in the middle of the night had appeared on the headline because it had occurred in a high–end residential area.

Apart from that, not only did the fire destroy the unit where it first started, it affected all the units on the same floor.

As for the unit where the fire broke out, everything was burnt to ashes except for the load bearing wall.

Luckily, the people who lived in that unit managed to escape during the explosion, and according to the news, two people were found critically injured.

It was one of the most alarming news stories of the community in recent months, but Mike did not bother to look into it because it was the day for Shea‘s funeral.

He woke up early and took the children to breakfast, before rushing to the funeral venue.

Upon arriving, Chad leaned towards him and whispered, “have you seen the news today? That headline about an indoor gas explosion…”

“You mean that incident that took place at three in the morning?”

“Yeah! Do you know whose apartment that is?” Chad asked mysteriously.

Noticing something unusual, Mike asked, “is it someone we know?”

Chad nodded.

Both Hayden and Layla widened their eyes and leaned closer to eavesdrop.

“That‘s Chelsea‘s brother‘s place. She lived there, too. When the explosion happened, she was in there,” Chad immediately told him, “the siblings barely made it, but both of them suffered rather severe injuries.”

“Is this the gods‘ way of punishing them?”

“Not the gods. It‘s Mr. Foster.”

Chad didn‘t give too many details considering how many people were around them. Mike nodded. “Let me tell Averie about this.“

Mike summarized the incident in simple wordings and sent it to Averie while attaching a photo of Elyette that he took in secret along with the message.

It was ten at night in Bridgedale. Averie had just gotten into bed and had yet to fall asleep.

When she saw the message Mike sent, she tried to picture the reason behind Elyette‘s action, but her lack of imagination had left her helpless in figuring out why he would suddenly attack the Tierney siblings.

If it was done to seek revenge from Chelsea for causing Averie to go into delivery early, why would he burn Charlie‘s apartment down, and why did he choose to do so at such a time?

There had to be something else going on apart from his history with the Tierney siblings.

Had it been any time before, Averie would have confronted Elyette to ask him what had happened between them, but she no longer had the energy for that.

Her three children had taken up eighty percent of her energy; and what little was left was reserved for treating Adrian‘s illness.

She had come to an agreement with the White Family that she would perform the first surgery on Adrian after new years. After the first surgery, they would decide if they could proceed with the second surgery based on the outcome.

Seeing that she did not reply, Mike took a photo of Hayden and Layla and sent it to her.

This time, she couldn‘t help but reply, ‘why are Layla‘s eyes so red? Did she cry?‘

‘Yeah. Shea‘s photo was displayed at the funeral and she cried when she saw it.‘

Averie was overwhelmed with emotions when she received his reply. If she was at the funeral, she wouldn‘t be able to hold back her tears as well.

After remaining silent for a while, she sent another message.

‘How is he?‘

‘Which one? Are you talking about Hayden or Elyette?‘

Averie gasped awkwardly.

Mike was teasing her on purpose, but did not want to enrage her, so he replied right away.

‘Hayden didn‘t cry, but has been frowning the entire time. Elyette is the same. There‘s no doubt that they are father and son. They are practically identical.‘

Averie held onto her phone and slowly began to drift off the sleep.

Shea would rest in peace and all the pain would sooner or later fade.

Meanwhile, in a hospital in Aryadelle.

Wanda rushed to the hospital at the first chance she had to visit Charlie.

It wasn‘t that she truly cared if Charlie lived or died; she simply wanted to see how miserable he was.

Elyette told her the night before that she would not have a happy ending, and because of that, she had not been able to sleep much since the fire.

She had seen her share of vicious people, and she herself was someone who would do anything to get what she wanted; but Elyette was different from them all.

Because of how powerful and wealthy Elyette was, it would take someone with nine lives to defeat him in Aryadelle.

Inside the ward, Charlie‘s body was completely wrapped in bandages except for his eyes and mouth.

Wanda set the flowers and fruits she brought down and consoled Charlie‘s mother.

“Sis, this is not an accident,” she said, “Elyette set the place on fire.”

When she spoke, Charlie reacted right away from the bed. He tried to nod but his eyes were soon filled with tears from the pain.

His mother felt even worse when she saw her son‘s reaction.

“Charlie, we just need to protect our own properties. If you focus too much on taking something that belongs to others, you could risk what you have in the end!” Charlie‘s mother knew how ambitious her son was, and felt helpless when she saw what had happened to him.

“Don‘t cry, sis. Charlie will get better,” Wanda said, “I want to talk to him, alone. I will talk some sense into him.”
