"I will handle him! Once he gets back, I promise I will get him to marry you!" Mrs. Schaffer promised. "My only request for you right now is to not work or go to school for now. Just stay at home to nurture your baby. I will get you a nanny to take care of you."
Troubled, Lilith came up with an idea." Auntie, my brother might be dead, but my sister-in-law is still alive. I need to talk to her about this first."
"Oh... You are talking about Avery Tate! Does she concern herself with your affairs?
"She does! She is really kind to me." Lilith was stuck in a difficult position between Ben and his parents, and she could not quite make up her mind as to what to do. Ben's parents had been very kind to her and she did not have the heart to say anything that might hurt them, which was why she needed to wait until Avery returned to make the decision for her.
As soon as Avery was rushed into the emergency room, the doctor immediately injected antipyretics and antiinflammatory medication into her, and her temperature finally returned to normal that evening.
She was as pale as a ghost, but she had regained consciousness.
"Avery, you are finally awake!" Mike exclaimed when he saw her opening her eyes. "I was about to go crazy if you didn't wake up."
All strength was drained from Avery. She glanced at Mike blankly and looked around her.
"You had a really high fever and it wouldn't go down in Ylore, so I took you back to Aryadelle," Mike explained guiltily.
Avery did not fully comprehend what Mike had said, but she could distinctly sense how ill she truly was.
"Elliot-”
Avery turned away from him, she did not want to debate the topic with him.
For a moment, she did want to meet Elliot in the afterlife, but Mike’s words had sobered her.
One was bound to encounter difficulties in life, and things would not always go according to plan. The misery she was experiencing resulted from losing someone she loved, and it was something everyone experienced at some point or another.
When her father passed away, she realized that not only would she need to bid farewell to one or two people, but that she might have to bid farewell to everyone that
she had never known.
