Chapter 577 A while later, the car stopped outside a restaurant.
Avery went inside and walked directly into the VIP room.
“Eric, is this your day off?”
Eric had booked a private room in a restaurant near Avery’s company and invited her to 35 meal.
“Yeah, I am free this morning.” Eric pulled the chair for her. “Thank gods you came back safely. I was so worried.”
Avery sat down and before she could respond, her attention was caught by the card resting on the table. “What’s this? Is this your bankee card?”
Eric sat down next to her. “Yeah. Take it and pay Elliot back.”
Without a moment of hesitation, Avery pushed the card back to him and said, “I don’t want it, Eric. I might owe him money, but he is not forcing me to pay him back. I pay him back when I want to and I can just stop whenever I feel likeof it.”
Eric pushed the card to her stubbornly and said, “now that you have broken up with him, it’s best to pay him back as soon as possible! Avery, you saved my life and I can give you every penny that I earn.”
His eyes glammed and every word he spoke was incredibly sincere. “I didn’t resurface as an idol because I love my job, but because I want to be someone useful so that I can help you in times of68 need.”
Tears welled in Avery’s eyes at his words.
“Eric, I really can’t accept your card. I am so happy that you are treating me a meal, but I can pay the money I owe Elliot back on my own. Have faith in me, okay?” Sensing that the atmosphere was slightly heavy, she forced a smile and said, “you look even more handsome after a7a while!”
“Don’t change the subject.” Eric shoved the card into her hands. “Just hold onto this for me and give it back when I get married.”
Avery didn’t know how to reject such a request.
“The password is your birthday,” he added.
“Why are you telling me the password?”
“I have poor memory. Just memorize it for me.”
Three days later, the foundation had been established, so Chelsea proceeded to send the bank account details of the foundation to Avery.
Avery immediately transferred 300 million upon receiving the details.
Chelsea was stunned for minutes when she saw the massive transaction, thinking, ‘why does Avery have so much money? She paid 155 million before and now 300 million… Does her business profit that much?!’
Chelsea immediately told Elliot about it.
Elliot scowled.
‘Where did she get this much money from?! Who did she borrow it from? Who has the money to help her? Can it be Eric Santos?!’ He thought.
Instantly, he was enraged.
Avery set her phone down after completing the transaction and starting working. After twenty minutes, she noticed that the screen on her phone lit up from the corner of her eyes. She picked it up and noticed a new message.
It was from the hospital she went to in Bridgedale and the result of the screening test had been released.
Her heart sank as she opened the message.
‘Down Syndrome: Low Risk; 18-trisomy syndrome: Low Risk; Deformity in Nervous System: High Risk
‘High Risk?!’ She thought as she tightened her fingers around the phone, ‘so there’s really something wrong with my baby?!”
Elliot drove to Tate Industries with the full intention of confronting Avery as to where she obtained 300 million. If she had gotten the money from another man, there was no way that he could accept it.
He barged in without any appointment and strode towards the elevator to press on the button.
The elevator door slowly opened and the first thing he saw was Avery’s flushed face covered in
tears.
