There were two blankets on the bed, and Elliot was covered with a thicker one, whereas Avery used a lightweight one. However, the heater in the room was turned on, so the space was
warm.
“You should use the thick one, and I’ll use the thin one,” Elliot said kindly. He was relatively weak and felt cold, so he thought that she was cold too.
“Are you trying to give me a heatstroke?” Avery said bluntly, “Go to sleep. You have to go before my mom comes back tomorrow morning. You’re seriously affecting our lives by staying here.”
Elliot covered himself with the blanket. “Okay.”
Ten minutes later, Avery grabbed her phone and turned toward him. With the help of the light of her phone, she saw Elliot. His eyes were open, and they were dark and cold in the dim light.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Are you cold?” Avery asked.
Elliot answered, “A little. Are you feeling warm?”
Avery was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and she only covered her upper body with her blanket. It was as if they were both in different seasons.
“Don’t mind me… I’ll get you a blanket…” Avery sat up.
Elliot grabbed her and said, “Just give me half of yours.”
“Oh…”
Avery gave him half of her blanket. However, now the only way she could cover herself was if she leaned toward him. Realizing this, she sat up again, trying to get the blanket.
“Don’t move… I’m trying to sleep.” He stretched out his long arms and pulled her back again.
Rosalie was sitting on the sofa at Elliot’s mansion. She was so angry that she had even skipped dinner. After the driver returned from delivering Elliot’s stuff, Rosalie began questioning him.
“Is the rental house small?”
The driver answered, “It’s tiny. The whole house is not as big as the living room here.”
Rosalie glanced at the living room, and her blood pressure rose.
“When I left, Avery’s mother had already gone to stay at a hotel. Only Mr. Forester and Avery are in the house.”
“This Avery… Will she do anything terrible to Elliot?! Elliot’s so ill now. How can you leave him alone with her? Where’s the bodyguard?! The bodyguard must never leave him!” Rosalie was very concerned.
“It should be alright…” The driver stammered and explained, “I heard from the bodyguard that the two of them did… did it at noon… They should still have feelings for each other.”
Rosalie was shocked. “Elliot’s so sick! How can he still have the energy to do it! Avery is indeed a vixen! I’m going to bring Elliot back! If he continues to stay with her, won’t he be exhausted!”
The driver cast a knowing gaze at Mrs. Cooper.
Mrs. Cooper immediately spoke to Rosalie. “If you go, I’m afraid that Mr. Elliot will turn against you. You should go back first, and I’ll ask the driver to pick him up tomorrow morning.
“I think you’ve been brainwashed by Avery too!” Rosalie shook off Mrs. Cooper’s arm.
Mrs. Cooper took two steps back, not arguing with Rosalie.
“Take me to where Avery lives. I’ll just stay outside and see, and I won’t go in!” Rosalie said to the driver.
The driver immediately helped her.
Forty minutes later, Rosalie saw the old residential district where Avery lived, and she sat in the car, unable to hold back her tears.
“My son has never lived in such a harsh environment since he was born… Never! What type of karma is this! It’s all my fault!
Why did I get Avery to be his wife? There are so many women, yet I chose this vixen!”
In the room, Elliot’s breathing gradually became stable. Avery reached out and touched his forehead. Even though Elliot was clammy, his temperature was normal. As she was afraid that he would wake up thirsty at night, she got out of bed and poured a glass of water, and placed it on the table beside him.
When Avery woke up the following morning, Elliot was nowhere to be seen. She picked up her phone and checked the time.
It was already past eight in the morning.
Elliot sent her a message just after six in the morning, (I slept well last night, so I’ll leave first.
Avery’s cheek instantly flushed. It was only a text from him, so why was she feeling warm? Then, she found the remote control and turned off the heater. After washing up and leaving the room, Laura called her for breakfast.
“What’s the situation between you and him now?” Laura passed her breakfast and utensils.
“What situation?” Avery pretended not to understand.
“Don’t pretend to be puzzled. Don’t you want to divorce him? I think the two of you can’t be separated.” Laura sat across from her and looked at her, adding, “He doesn’t want to divorce you at all, and he looks like he likes you a lot.”
Avery sighed, “Mom, so what if he likes me? My value shouldn’t be determined by a man.”
Laura was helpless. “But he won’t divorce you. What will you do?”
“If it really can’t work out. I’m going to study abroad.”
“That’s great!”
“Mom, let’s eat. The food won’t taste good if it’s cold.”
Avery felt that every breath she took was filled with his scent. After breakfast, she had to take a shower.
Elliot exited the bathroom wrapped in a towel. He walked to his closet and changed into his clothes before heading to the dining room for breakfast.
Mrs. Cooper was a little puzzled when she noticed that he was wearing fewer clothes. “Master Elliot, aren’t you cold?”
“I’m not cold, and I feel better today.”
“That’s great! The doctor will come over later. Let him examine you.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll go to the company later.”
Elliot’s words shocked Mrs. Cooper. Before he had visited Avery yesterday, he looked haggard and sick, but today, he looked completely normal. Was taking all that medication not as effective as spending the day with Avery?
When Elliot showed up at the company, several executives could not help but follow him to his office.
“Mr. Foster, are you fully recovered? Wasn’t it quite serious?”
“Blah, blah, blah! Mr. Foster just had a cold and a fever. How serious could it be? Since he’s here at the company, it means that he’s almost healed.”
“That’s right! Mr. Foster, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go back and rest at any time. We’ll send you an email if there’s anything urgent with the company. You can work from home.”
Elliot ignored their concern and turned to Chad. “Get Chelsea over.”
Chad called Chelsea immediately, and the others wisely retreated.
“Elliot, why did you come to work all of a sudden? Did the doctor allow you to come to work?” Chelsea was worried when she saw that he was looking unwell.
“Chelsea, your father’s birthday is coming up, right?”
Surprise flashed in Chelsea’s eyes, and she answered, “Yes, it’s this weekend. I didn’t tell you because you were sick.”
Elliot said, “I’ll be there.” Chelsea smiled, and her heart was full of joy. “Okay! I was worried that you wouldn’t go! My dad will definitely be pleased to see you.”
“Chelsea, I have a wife. I’m attending your dad’s birthday party because your brother invited m y wife,” Elliot explained, destroying all of her fantasies.
