Mike has seen the article. It was not that he deliberately searched for news in Aryadelle. It was sent to
him by one of the higher-ups of Tate Industries.
That was because the media made phone calls to Tate Industries asking if this incident was true.
How could the higher-ups know anything about their boss’s private life? They only knew that Avery
went to Bridgedale. They did not know what she went there for. They also did not know that she was
kidnapped.
When Mike saw the news, he was furious. After drinking a cup of coffee, he still has not decided if he
wanted to tell Avery about this.
Avery has been resting at home for the past few days. Other than coming out during mealtimes, she
spent the rest of her time resting in her room.
When she came out to have her meals, her emotional state was much better than before Elliot left.
Mike thought that she was doing well in such a state, so he did not want to affect her emotional health
with the news.
If this thing was not resolved, her reputation in Aryadelle would be completely ruined.
During lunch, Mike said to her, “Avery, how are your68 injuries??”
Avery was drinking soup. She calmly replied, “Much better.”
“Oh. It could heal even without medication. How amazing,” Mike said with apa sigh.
After waking up the last time, Avery has not used any medication anymore.
“The human body has its own abilities to heal. Medicine only helps lessen the pain and quicken the
process.” After drinking the soup, Avery placed her spoon down.
“Avery, this is your phone.” Mike saw her finished eating, so he passed her phone to her.
The last time when she came to Bridgedale , before she was taken away by the men in black, she
handed over all her personal belongings to Mike.
She picked up her phone and pressed the power button. There was no reaction. Her phone has been
placed for so many days. It had long ran out of battery. “There’s no battery. The charger is in your bag,”
Mike said, “Hayden’s teacher has been texting me, asking when will Hayden return to school.”
Avery looked at her son and told him her plan. “Mike, take Hayden and Layla back to Aryadelle first! I’ll
return soon.”
“How can I relax with you being alone here?” Mike refused her suggestion. “Either we go back together
or we stay here together.”
Hayden and Layla immediately nodded in agreement.
However, the three of them could not beat Avery’s insistence.
“The nanny will take care of me. The bodyguard will protect me. What is there to worry about? My body
right now can’t take long-distance travel,” Avery enunciated, “The children’s education cannot be
delayed. Also, the company back in Aryadelle, it’s time you head back to manage it!”
Mike said, “They’re still so young. There is nothing wrong with delaying…”
Avery said, “You’ll be affecting my rest by staying here. I’ll be able to recover quicker if I stay here in
peace.”
Mike was speechless.
Avery continued, “Pack up after your lunch! I’ll return in half a month.”
Mike wanted to bargain with her. “It’s too rushed today. We’ll leave tomorrow.”
Avery said nothing. She returned to her room and charged her phone. After plugging in her charger and
connecting it to a plug, she pressed the power button. A few seconds later, her phone turned on.
As expected, countless missed calls and messages popped up on her phone.
Avery tapped Tammy’s message and replied, [I’m fine now. We’ll talk more when we meet.]
It was midnight in Aryadelle at that moment, Tammy did not see Avery’s message immediately
After Avery replied to Tammy, she placed her phone down. She had to make a trip that day. For the
past few days resting at home, a question kept popping into her mind. Who leaked her information to
David Grimes?
The public did not know that she was James Hough’s last pupil. Wesley did not tell David about her, but
David still targeted her.
Avery roughly had an answer in her heart, but she had to confirm this suspicion of her at that moment.
