Chapter 167
Avery definitely was an extraordinary person if she had managed to stay married to Elliot for more than four years.
Moreover, Zoe had heard about her when she was abroad.
Avery was also a student of Professor Hough, and she had published several good papers.
However, she had heard nothing more of Avery after Avery had graduated.
Avery had never worked for any major hospitals, nor had she joined the medical industry.
How far could she go with only theoretical knowledge? She lacked clinical experience.
Otherwise, why would Elliot have her treat Shea?
It was evening, and Laura looked at the two children in front of her and said, “Why don’t you two eat?”
Layla puffed her cheeks and asked, “When is mom coming back?”
Laura replied, “She’ll be back after she’s done with her work. I can’t tell for sure when will that be.”
Layla asked, “Is she saving Shea?”
“Yes. Don’t worry, Shea will be fine.”
At this same time, Hayden said glumly, “Shea, bad woman!”
“Didn’t you bring Shea back? Why did you suddenly say that about her?” Laura raised her hand to caress his head.
“She’s with Elliot!”
Laura did not expect that he would know this.
“Hayden, these are adult matters; you don’t have to worry about it. Shea is not even as smart as you or Layla. What can she do wrong? And even if she has done something wrong, it’s Elliot’ s fault.” Laura could not blame Shea for anything.
Shea was no different from a three-year-old girl.
Hayden blamed himself even more now.
If he had known about the relationship that Elliot and his mother shared and the relationship that Elliot and Shea shared, he would never have brought her home! “Mom must be very sad,” he thought to himself. When his mother returned, he must apologize to her!
It was at eight when Elliot received a call.
A loud thud echoed through the room.
Elliot was pummeling Cole in the head.
The phone in his hand fell to the ground.
“You were the hacker who attacked Angela Special Needs Academy? How dare you!” Elliot shouted angrily. “Hand Shea over! If anything happens to her, you will die, and I’ll see to it that you will be denied a proper burial!”
Cole was stunned.
“Elliot, what are you talking about? Cole isn’t a hacker. Don’t you know how useless he is? He’ s just rubbish!” Henry latched on to Elliot’s hand, fearing for his son’s life.
Elliot ordered Cole’s notebook and mobile phone to be taken away and investigated.
Two hours later, Cole’s phone was found to be faulty.
“Uncle, I don’t know how my phone has been infected with Trojan! My phone is always with
me… It was only the day before yesterday did I lend it to a little girl!” cried Cole bitterly. “That girl looked to be only four or five. She couldn’t possibly have installed the malware, right?”
