The moment the bodyguard said those words, everyone in the room was stunned.
People would believe it if someone said that Elliot Foster had killed someone, but saying that he got down on his knees must be a joke!
He was a formidable force in Aryadelle. With his status, there would never be the need for him to bow down to anyone!
However, at this moment, Elliot was hanging his head. His silence was his confession.
Avery suddenly recalled what he had said on the phone earlier.
He said that he did not use force, and that he was going to try his best to be a good
person so that their son did not have to pay for his mistakes.
Avery felt a tingling sensation in her nose. She pulled his arm and dragged him away from the crowd.
"What happened?" Chad asked the bodyguard once Avery and Elliot were out of sight.
"The person whose blood was a match was a lady in her fifties. She lives in the mountains, so her mindset is relatively ignorant. She thought that donating blood would shorten her lifespan. Mr. Foster offered money, but she didn't want it She said she was afraid to die. Mr. Foster tried to reason with her countless times to no avail. In the end, he could only get down on his knees and beg her," explained the bodyguard as his brows furrowed and his fists clenched tightly.
"I've never seen Mr. Foster in that sorry state! There were plenty of ways for us to get that blood, but he insisted on choosing the most ridiculous method!" he continued.
Chad's face was stern as he said, "He has his reasons for doing that. He has a kid now, so he needs to set a good example for him."
The bodyguard was not convinced, but he could not control Elliot's actions.
"Mr. Foster has gone this far for the sake of the baby. Avery Tate would be going too far if she still treats him badly!" snapped the bodyguard furiously.
"Avery knows the difference between right and wrong. She won't give Mr. Foster trouble as long as Robert gets better," Chad said, then took a seat on the bench.
Elliot brought back over half a pint of blood this time.
It was still uncertain if that amount was enough to help Robert with his blood change.
Elliot was Robert's father. Everything he did for Robert was his responsibility
