Chapter 1123
“Why don’t you get someone to kidnap Adrian!” Tammy proposed an idea to Avery. “If you were to talk to Henry and Cole, they would surely not let go of the opportunity to extort you for money. You would rather send the bodyguard over to take Adrian!”
Avery was stunned by Tammy’s idea.
“Tammy, we are in a lawful society. Even if Henry doesn’t have the money, they still have connections. Furthermore, if I were to get the bodyguard to take Adrian, Elliot would hear about this. His injuries from a week ago have not been completely healed. I don’t want him to be threatened by Henry because of Shea.”
“Okay. Then, they will surely ask you for money,” Tammy warned her, “Also, the amount that they will be asking will surely be a huge one. I’m not sure you can satisfy them.” “We’ll talk more once I see Henry! If I can’t make a deal with them, I’ll find another way. Although the direct relative’s match for a suitable kidney would be much higher, a stranger’s kidney would have a certain chance too.” Avery rubbed her temples and consoled herself,” Anyway, Shea is still alive. This is great news.”
“Hmm. Don’t worry too much. If not, Elliot will realize how strange you’ve been acting. Just now when he called my husband to ask where you were, he clearly suspected that you’re lying.”
Avery said helplessly, “Putting myself in his shoes. If today he were to dump me and the children at home and leave the house, I would suspect him too.”
Cole returned home and told Henry about his meeting with Avery.
Henry asked, “She did not tell you the reason?” “She refused to tell me, but it has something to do with Adrian. From the looks of it, I don’t think it’s a small matter.” Cole looked at Adrian’s room. “Dad, we should transfer Adrian to a place where we can’t find him! If Avery decides to resort to violence, we won’t be able to stop her.”
Henry pursed his lips and pondered for a while before nodding. “Since Adrian is so important right now, let’s find a bodyguard to watch him!” “Hmm! Go and meet Avery tomorrow to find out what this is all about.” “Okay.” Henry responded DURDN<JK said worryingly, “Is this a set up?” “I don’t think so. She came alone to see me. I think even Elliot doesn’t know about this. If Elliot knew about this, he wouldn’t let her meet me. You know how impulsive Elliot is. If anything were to happen, he would surely come at us directly.” “Okay, then set up a meeting for tomorrow at noon.”
“Hmm.”
In the evening, Avery returned home. Layla immediately ran over and hugged her. “Mommy! Why did you and Daddy return so quickly? Didn’t you say that you are going to Bridgedale to see Hayden?”
Avery explained awkwardly, “I miss you and Robert, so we returned earlier.” “Then, don’t you miss Hayden?” Layla blinked her huge, clear eyes. “The last time I was on a call with Hayden, I told him that you two will go look for him, but now that you’re not going to see him, he will surely be sad!”
Avery’s body stiffened. Her heart constricted tightly. “Avery, are you hiding something from me?” Elliot asked and walked over to her.
