Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333

Shea was tidying her desk with Mrs. Cooper’s help.

Elliot’s Adam’s apple rolled in his throat as guilt overcame him.

Every time Shea told him she felt dizzy the past few days, he had told her to get more rest.

He did not expect sleeping pills to be the cause of her discomfort.

If Avery had not taken her to the hospital for the checkup, who knows how long she would have continued taking the pills.

Elliot felt grateful towards Avery, but he did not know how to express his thanks.

The next day, Mrs. Cooper showed up at Avery’s house first thing in the morning.

Avery was surprised, and quickly invited Mrs. Cooper into her home.

“I’m sorry for showing up without notice, Avery,” Mrs. Cooper said as she handed two food

to you.”

“Thank you! Why did you come by this early?” Avery said as she poured a glass of water for her guest.

“To be honest, Master Elliot was the one who asked me to come by and thank you,” Mrs. Cooper said warily. “It was a good thing you took Shea to the hospital yesterday. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what could have happened.”

The smile on Avery’s face vanished.

“You have no idea how scary things were, Avery,” Mrs. Cooper said as fear lingered inside of her. “Zoe said she had instructed Mrs. Scarlet to only give Shea the pills for three days, but Mrs. Scarlet said Zoe never mentioned any of that to her. Mrs. Scarlet was in tears when she confided in me last night… I’d much rather trust her. After all, she’s been taking care of Shea for over twenty years. She would never hurt her.”

Avery picked up on a key point and asked, “Mrs. Scarlet’s taken care of Shea for twenty years? Does that mean Shea’s been with the Fosters for twenty years?”

“I think so! All Mrs. Scarlet ever told me was that Shea was a poor little thing. She never revealed anything else to me.”
