In the video, Avery looked composed and energetic as she handled the questions from the reporters smoothly and confidently.
A sharp pain pierced through his head as he looked at her face and listened to her voice. Everything went blank and it felt as though something had exploded.
He set his phone down and curled up with his hands around his head, panting heavily as he did.
In Aryadelle, Hayden took Lilith back from outside.
Mrs. Cooper was slightly surprised that they had returned so early. "Are you done with the surgery?"
Hayden did not want to be with Lilith for another second and immediately went back to his room.
Lilith shook her head. "I didn't go through with it."
"Why not? Is the doctor busy?" Mrs. Cooper asked, "I was wondering why you two came back so early?"
"Mrs. Cooper, is Hayden rich?" Lilith lowered her voice and asked, "The doctor asked me why I wanted an abortion and I said it's because I don't have money to raise a baby. Hayden then told me that if that's the reason I'm doing it, I should reconsider because he is willing to give me money to raise the baby."
Mrs. Cooper was shaken to the core.
"Does Hayden have that much money?
Why else would he say something like that to me?"
Lilith didn't think that a child who wasn't even ten years old could be rich; even if he was, he was probably only referring to the pocket money he received from his parents.
"Lilith, I think he does have the money. If he promised that he would give you money to raise your baby, then he is going to deliver that promise." Mrs. Cooper felt overwhelmed and sighed. "Mr. Foster is not around and Hayden now needs to take on the responsibility of taking care of the entire family."
Lilith blushed. "I feel so ashamed."
"Is this really Ben’s baby?" Mrs. Cooper questioned, "Is he that irresponsible?"
Lilith lowered her head, unsure of what to say.
"Let's discuss what we should do with you when Avery comes back! I didn't expect Hayden to care so much about you. He's usually quite slow to warm up to somebody.
