Chapter 201
Tammy knew.
“Avery, why didn’t you tell Elliot? If he finds out that these are his kids…”
“He doesn’t want kids, Tammy. If you tell this to anyone or even Elliot, we won’t be friends anymore.” Avery said with a cold voice and her face was even colder as if she was a whole different person.
“If this is serious, of course I won’t tell. This is your privacy and I will keep your secret.” Tammy said anxiously, “I really don’t understand Elliot. What do you think, does he have a mental problem?”
“Not unlikely.” Avery sat by the bed and articulated each word, “I only want to take care of the kids until they grow up.”
“Avery, don’t worry. I promise you I won’t tell anyone about this.”
At the Foster family mansion.
It was seven in the evening when Elliot came home.
“Elliot, is Zoe okay? Why was she so careless? A doctor’s hands are the most precious body part of them all!” Rosalie heard about Zoe’s burn and she was worried.
“It’s no big deal.” Elliot did not want his mother to worry
He sent Zoe to the hospital and saw the burn on her hands.
They were quite severe.
The skin surface was completely damaged.
“That’s good. We need Zoe to treat Shea’s illness!” Rosalie mumbled.
“Mother, let’s not talk about this.” Elliot helped his mother up to the dining table and sat her down.
*There was a feast prepared on the table. Everyone did not eat and waited for him to come
home.
“Uncle, do you remember the girl I told you about?” Cole was anxious, so he started the conversation with Elliot, “I went to see Avery in the afternoon and saw a photo of the same girl on her phone.” .
Elliot’s eyes darkened and his movement halted.
He wondered what she looked like. He wondered if she was adopted or Avery’s.
He had a strong gut feeling that Avery was keeping something from him.
He must not trust everything she said.
Including how she claimed to have burned Zoe on purpose. How could he believe her?
Also, he was disgusted by Zoe’s act of recording their conversation to hand it to the bodyguard.
He hated indirect and tactful women like her.
Although he fought with Avery very often, Avery would never do silly things like this.
The next morning, he phoned his assistant with his eyes red. He said with a hoarse voice,” Find out Avery’s current address for me.”
