Avery felt better when she thought of that.
Perhaps, she was never destined to be with him after all! They could have as many children as they liked, but they would never be able to grow old together.
"Don’t cry, Avery!" Mike felt a twinge of regret when he saw her weeping.
He would never have called Elliot if he knew that would happen.
"I'm fine..." She raised her hand to wipe her tears, "Just letcry for a bit." "How am | supposed to go to the company without worrying about you?" Mike said dejectedly.

At the hotel, Chad pressed the doorbell to Elliot's room.
Elliot was completely disconnected from everyone. His cell phone had not been turned on yet and he had not responded to any of the work emails that Chad sent.
Chad was very worried, so he cto have a look.
Unfortunately, he rang the doorbell three times and received no response.
He wondered if Elliot had left the room.
Chad immediately went to the front desk and asked, "Could you helpcheck if Mr.
Foster left the hotel today?" The receptionist said, "I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to divulge this information because this concerns our guests" privacy...
"I'm his assistant.” Chad took out his business card and handed it to the receptionist.
She took it, glanced at it, and returned it to him. "I'm sorry, Mr. Rayner. Perhaps you may wish to speak to our manager." Chad took back his business card and went to the hotel manager.
When the hotel manager heard that he wanted to inquire about Elliot's privacy, he immediately said, "Mr. Rayner, I'm aware that you're Mr. Foster's assistant, but | will still have to respect his privacy or else he won't stay with us again in the future.” Chad expressed his understanding. "I have no intention of infringing on his privacy. My concern is whether he ate his meals. I'm worried about his stomach issues.” "You don't need to fret over that. He had breakfast today.” "Okay. Thank you." Chad left the hotel after getting that answer.
He knew that Elliot was no longer in the hotel, but he did not know where the man could have gone to.

"I could've gone to your place so you didn't need to call the way here, Mr. Foster." The lawyer poured Elliot a glass of water.
"I would like to entrust you to do something for me." Elliot's face was cold =g->QKW? expressionless.
The lawyer sat straight and said, "Sure. But don't you have your own legal team?" "l want you to do it," he said.
If he went to the company's legal team, the matter would soon spread to the higher-ups, which would defeat his intention of settling everything quietly.
"Thank you very much for trusting me, Mr. Foster," the lawyer said. "I have known you for many years, and I'll definitely do my best to handle your affairs.” "I want you to find someone." Elliot took out a note and put it on the table.
A person's nand phone number were written on it.
The lawyer took the note, glanced at it, and wondered, "Cole Foster... Isn't he your nephew?" Barely seconds had passed when he immediately rephrased and said, "I'm sorry. | forgot that you're not related to them by blood. "
