“I’m torturing her?” Elliot murmured. He suddenly raised his voice. He said coldly, “Wesley, don’t you
think you’re shameless?”
“I’m shameless. All of it is my fault, but please don’t use your narrow thinking to view Avery.” Wesley’s
tone was calm, but he was honest. “Avery came to look for me yesterday. One is to look for the notes
Professor Hough left behind when he was still alive. Two, to show me her treatment proposal so I can
give her my suggestions. Although my medical skills are not as great as hers, theory-wise, I can still
make do.”
Elliot’s breathing turned heavy.
“Avery took on a surgery,” Wesley continued, “If you think that she’s doing this just for the money, you’re
too shallow. If you love her, can you learn how to respect46 her!”
Wesley rarely raised his voice at others. He was well-mannered and knew how to control himself.
However, at Elliot, he could no longer remain calm.
After a short moment of silence, Elliot retorted, “Your so-called respect is just giving in without any limits!
If I didn’t love a woman, I could do that to her too! I could just not care about her!”
Wesley said, “You grab a handful of sand. The tighter you grab it, the faster it flows out of your hand. You
can never tie Avery. She does not belong to you alone.”
Elliot suddenly yelled in rage, “She iscd mine!”
“I do not want to fight with you on this!” Wesley could not defeat him, so he changed the subject. “You
have no right to stop Shea from interacting with whoever. She is no longer the idiot that you could
control. Please respect her and pass her phone back to her!”
Elliot hungge up
Wesley placed his phone down and held the driving wheel tightly. He tried to collect his thoughts
Elliot had a stubborn personality. He had a strong desire for control, whether it was Avery or Shea, it was
the same case
However, whether it was Shea or Avery, they still deeply loved this man. Of course, Shea’s love and
Avery’s love were different. Shea’s love was the purest form.
Soon after, Wesley’s phone rang again. Wesley picked it up and saw that it was from Shea. He
immediately answered the call.
“Wesley, Big Brother was angry with me. You called me but he didn’t let me answer,” Shea’s tone
sounded extremely aggrieved, “But thankfully he just returned the phone to me.”
“Shea, he is not angry with you. He is angry with me.” Wesley was afraid that Shea would think
otherwise, so he explained to her, “Did he forbid you from going out?”
“I don’t think so.” She suddenly laughed. “Wesley, can I go look for you now?”
“Okay.”
At the hospital, Richard returned from the police station after seeing the evidence. He told Zoe about the
outcome.
Zoe screamed with all her might, “Dad! How could you be bought by them! How much did they pay you!
Huh!”
Richard said, “Zoe, be strong. This really has nothing to do with Avery. The police will continue
investigating. Once they catch the culprit, they will give us an answer.”
“Hahahah! I’m about to die soon, you want me to be strong? The culprit is Avery. I heard her voice. Why
do none of you believe me? It’s fine if the outsiders don’t believe me, but dad, how could you not believe
me! Because I’ve become a disabled person, so you don’t love me anymore?”
“Zoe! It’s not that I don’t believe you, but the voice that you heard might be a hallucination. It could also
be someone else mimicking her voice or editing her voice into a clip… If not, why did her voice appear
after you turned blind? The police said that to me. I think it’s logical too.”
Richard did not like Avery, but he could not ignore the facts.
Zoe sat on the bed in a daze, as if her soul had been sucked away.
Cole walked over to Richard and said in a low voice, “Uncle Richard, I want to talk to you in private about
Zoe and the child.” Richard followed Cole out of the ward.
