The sleeping pill worked in no time, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Over at Aryadelle, Ben drove to Lilith's place after getting off work.
Coincidentally, he had just parked at the gate of her residential area when he saw her walking toward him with sdinner.
Lilith was on her cell phone, so she did not notice Ben standing by the door.
Just as she was about to head in, a big hand grabbed her arm, and she screamed in fright.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's me." Ben broke into a cold sweat when she shrieked.
Everyone looked at them, including the security guard at the gate and the passersby.
He pulled Lilith and quickly walked toward his car.
The security guard immediately chased after him when he saw that. "Hands off that young girl!" Ben let go in embarrassment.
"Do you know this man. Miss?" the security guard asked Lilith. "If you don't, I'll call the police and get them to arrest him!" Lilith glanced at Ben. She wanted to say, "I don't know him," but was afraid of angering him.
"Thanks for your help, Mister. | know him." The security guard immediately went back to his post after getting Lilith's reassurance.
Ben opened the car door and the red-faced Lilith got in.
When the car drove off, she asked anxiously, "Why are you here? And where are you taking me?" "You're playing dumb? Seriously? Why didn't you respond to my message?" "You askedwhether | was at home. | never reply to that kind of question.” Lilith opened the paper bag and took out her dinner. She planned to eat it in the car.
"Avery calledand said you were pregnant. She askedto accompany you to your abortion," Ben said coldly. "You were gone for a few days and already you are in this much trouble. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because your brother is gone?" "When did | say | was going to have an abortion? Are you sure Avery told you that?! " Lilith had not yet considered whether or not to have an abortion.
She had told Avery that she still needed to think about it.
"She didn't say that exactly, but that's what she implied. And judging from your reaction, you don’t seem too keen to have one? Are you just going to give birth to someone's b*st*rd child?" Ben said sarcastically, "How are you going to feed it when you can't even support yourself?!" "That's not for you to worry!" Lilith felt like she had just gotten a big slap on her face when she heard him call the baby a b*st*rd.
"Who else is going to worry about you other :f(=WMR= me?! Your brother's not here. And Avery's not here either. Do you think anyone else will worry about you? Will that b*st*rd's father worry about you?" Ben snarled.

She did not know how he would feel if he knew that he was the father of that 'b*st*rd "I don't mince my words when it comes to women like you who don't have self-esteem or who can't care for themselves." Ben drove the car toward the hospital. "I'll let you stay at my place after you get the abortion." "What if | don't want an abortion?" The blue veins on Ben's forehead popped out due to anger. "Suit yourself! But don't casking for any living expenses in the future!" Back at Bridgedale, Avery woke up and saw darkness outside the window.
She had slept the entire day, from morning till night.
She picked up her phone and checked the time.
It was nine o'clock, meaning she had slept for twelve hours.
Her mind was unusually clear, possibly because she had gotten enough rest.
She still missed Elliot dearly, and she wanted to find him.
She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face.
Once the cold water moistened Avery's skin, a flash of inspiration appeared in her mind and she suddenly found a way to find his whereabouts.
