Avery's vision turned blurry. Her heart constricted tightly. She pursed her lips and persisted through the sadness.
"Avery, why are you not saying anything?" Wesley heard her heavy breathing. He immediately said, "If you can’t, it’s fine.
Shea still doesn't know that you found me. She also doesn’t know that she isn’t Elliot's sister, nor that Adrian is her brother. I don’t want her to know all these."
"Wesley, I want to save Shea, I really do, but Adrian has been taken away." Avery wiped away her tears. She said in a hoarse voice," I'll try to find a way."
"Did they take Adrian away because they wanted to ask you for money?" Wesley could immediately pinpoint the problem astutely. "How much are they asking for?"
If Wesley could get this amount of money, he would offer to pay.
"They don't want my money. Even if I gave them all my belongings, they don't want it either," Avery choked up and said, "They want Elliot's money."
When Wesley heard what she said, he immediately said, "Then, give up! Avery, let this be the end of it! If Shea knew that Elliot was being threatened, she would rather die than be in this situation. Furthermore, even if she had a kidney transplant, we won't know if her body would reject it or not. It is unnecessary to use Elliot's money for an uncertain outcome."
"Wesley, do you really think that it's unnecessary?" Avery could not believe that Wesley would say such a thing.
"If they want my inheritance, I would be willing to take that risk, but they want Elliot's instead. You did not tell Elliot this because you knew this would cause him a lot of trouble. If that’s the case, don’t torture yourself with this," Wesley said, "Death is not as terrible as we think it is."
"There's a saying that death is not the loss of life but rather the escape of time,"
Wesley continued, "Avery, just have a good life with Elliot and care for your children. Don’t let Shea's matter bother you anymore.
"Wesley, you're always like that. You're always afraid to trouble me, afraid that I would be aggrieved." Avery smiled bitterly. "I am really fortunate to have met you in this life." "I should be the one saying this. I'm asking you to live your life, hoping that you would do more meaningful things in the future. Although Shea is pitiful, she isn't that bad, being loved by you all. At least she has never felt bad for herself."
