"My son has never lived in such a harsh environment since he was born... Never! What type of karma is this! It's all my fault! Why did I get Avery to be his wife? There are so many women, yet I chose this vixen!"
In the room, Elliot's breathing gradually became stable. Avery reached out and touched his forehead. Even though Elliot was clammy, his temperature was normal. As she was afraid that he would wake up thirsty at night, she got out of bed and poured a glass of water, and placed it on the table beside him.
When Avery woke up the following morning, Elliot was nowhere to be seen. She picked up her phone and checked the time.
It was already past eight in the morning.
Elliot sent her a message just after six in the morning, [ I slept well last night, so I'll leave first.]
Avery's cheek instantly flushed. It was only a text from him, so why was she feeling warm? Then, she found the remote control and turned off the heater. After washing up and leaving the room, Laura called her for breakfast.
"What's the situation between you and him now?"
Laura passed her breakfast and utensils.
"What situation?" Avery pretended not to understand.
"Don't pretend to be puzzled. Don't you want to divorce him? I think the two of you can't be separated. " Laura sat across from her and looked at her, adding," He doesn't want to divorce you at all, and he looks like he likes you a lot."
Avery sighed, "Mom, so what if he likes me? My value shouldn't be determined by a man."
Laura was helpless. "But he won't divorce you. What will you do?"
"If it really can't work out. I'm going to study abroad."
"That's great!"
"Mom, let's eat. The food won't taste good if it's cold." 1
Avery felt that every breath she took was filled with his scent. After breakfast, she had to take a shower.
Elliot exited the bathroom wrapped in a towel. He walked to his closet and changed into his clothes before heading to the dining room for breakfast.
