Mike was at the forest villa.
Mike stopped the car and immediately walked over to the door. The guards stopped him.
"I'm here to get Avery!" Mike said. "Your boss has died. Perhaps, you should start thinking about whether you are going to get paid."
The guards were baffled.
At the staircase, the nanny was helping Avery down the stairs. She was leaving the place.
Elliot died. Avery wanted to see him for the last time.
When Mike saw Avery, he immediately pushed the guards away and strode in. "Avery! I'm here to take you home!" Mike took Avery from the nanny.
After helping Avery into the car, Mike looked at her leg. She was wearing loose pajamas, so he could not see her injury.
"You were limping just now. I find it hard to believe that your injuries are almost healed." Mike furrowed his brows. He started the car. "I’ll send you to the hospital once we get back to the city."
Avery held onto the seatbelt with both hands. Her heart was empty.
"Avery. His lawyer... won't find faults with you, right?" Mike had only asked her this question once they were on their way, and even then he had hesitated for a few seconds.
Mike had never liked Elliot because Elliot treated Avery and the children terribly. When he heard that Elliot had died, he felt a little pity for the man, however, he was more focused on Avery. He hoped that Elliot's death would not bring the law down on Avery.
"I don't know." Avery was feeling low. She did not care whether the law would punish her or not at that moment.
"Oh. You and him... what happened?" Mike lowered his voice, due to the severity of the topic.
"I don't know." Avery's mind was heavy. Once she began thinking about him, she was so overwhelmed she could barely breathe.
"Did you not sleep the entire night?" Mike saw how puffy and red her eyes were." Close your eyes and get some rest. No matter what, the children need you to take care of them. I will hire the best lawyer for you. You don't have to worry about the other matters."
Avery closed her eyes. She saw Elliot’s eyes. They had been filled with pain ?f';QIT
