Chapter 1126
“You two seem to be really afraid of me, aren’t you?” she teased as she picked up the menu to order.
“This is your territory, after all,” Cole said, “What do you want? Just spill already! Elliot is at your place right now, right?”
Cole feared Avery, but the one he feared above all was Elliot.
Avery ordered a donut and a glass of milk, before turning her attention back to them- more precisely, to Henry. “Henry, Adrian is your biological brother, but do you remember that you have another sister? “she asked calmly.
If it was possible, she wished to resolve the issue peacefully. After all, not only was Shea important to Elliot and Avery, but she was also Henry’s biological sister. Henry remained thoughtful for a few moments and said, “You are talking about Shea, right? Of course, I haven’t forgotten about her, but she wasn’t that close to me. Why are you bringing her up? Didn’t she die trying to save your son? Mentioning her would only deepen my resentment towards you and Elliot.” “What good is resentment?” said Avery. “Do you think that Elliot and I were pleased to watch her die?”
“Say whatever you want. Shea still died because of you.” Henry glared at her angrily and said,” Did you ask me to come here just so you could talk about Shea? Have you found Shea’s body?”
“No.” Avery stared directly into Henry’s eyes and said, “She’s alive but critically ill. Henry, will you be willing to save her if you have the means to?” Both Cole and Henry froze. “Shea was not dead? She was critically ill?” they thought.
“How? I’m not a doctor!” Henry panicked.
“Will you give one of your kidneys to Shea? Her kidneys are failing,” Avery said and turned to look at Cole. “Cole, if you don’t want your dad to lose one of his kidneys, yours would work, too. Shea is your aunt by blood, surely you wouldn’t just let her die, would you?” The two of them gaped and screamed in their minds, “Giving up my kidney? No way!”
They were never close to Shea, and even if they were close, neither of them would be willing to give one of their kidneys up that easily. “Calm down, Avery!” Cole took a sip of milk to calm himself FSWcL<MI deadpanned, “Both me and my father are not in good health, so there’s no way that we could give Shea our kidneys! Shea might be my aunt by blood, and I love her for that, but I can’t sacrifice myself for her.”
Avery had already guessed that they would react this way. “How cruel. Shea is your family by blood. If only Elliot was her biological brother, he would definitely give her one of his kidneys, “she said sarcastically.
Both Cole and Henry flushed with embarrassment. “Go to Adrian! Adrian is her biological brother!” Cole suddenly thought of Adrian.
.
That was precisely what Avery had been waiting for. “If you two won’t donate your kidneys to Shea, then I can only turn to Adrian for help,” she said in disappointment, “but Adrian’s kidney might not be compatible with Shea’s either. I need to take him for a medical check-up to see if they are compatible.” Cole and Henry gave each other a look. They had been waiting to turn the tables on Avery, and they instantly understood Avery’s true intentions.
