"Have you made a decision yet?" Avery asked.
Lilith previously said that she would tell Avery once a decision was made, but there had not been any news yet.
"Why did you tell Ben about me, Avery? Do you know how that old b*st*rd reacted? He said loads of mean stuff to me!" Lilith jumped up from the bed and sat up. "He even forcedto get an abortion! Who the hell is he to forceinto doing getting it!" Avery was stunned. "| called him because | was worried that you'd need to go through the surgery alone. | don't feel at ease that way." "Il know you're being kind, but you've messed things up with your kindness. You could've asked your bestie to accompanyto the hospital rather than tell Ben!" Lilith complained.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You're right." Avery actually had a reason for that.
The reason she told Ben the news immediately after finding out was because she suspected that Lilith's child was Ben's.
Lilith was still young and not fully mature yet. It would be better if Ben knew about it so they could make a decision together.
"Forget it. Don't tell your bestie. | don't need anyone's help." Lilith lay back down again. "I haven't decided whether to abort or not!" "If you don't want to abort it, then don't,” Avery said. "Elliot gives you living expenses every month, right? If it's not enough, I'll give you more." Lilith's heart felt warm when she heard those words. "Why are you being so good to me? Elliot's no longer Sterling Group's boss, and even though I'm his sister, he hasn't even acknowledgedat all.” "The fact that you are his sister has nothing to do with his status. | already told you before that I'd help you as much as | can." "Okay, | won't blyou anymore." Lilith ended the topic childishly and asked, "How is Elliot now? Is he all down and about and doesn't want to meet anyone? If my dad knew that he turned out like this, he would definitely regret turning himself in." "I haven't found him yet." "Then you have to find him as soon as possible! What if he can't snap out of his depression =a#>WLP> commits suicide? Don't the rich always make headlines because they commit suicide after facing financial hardship?" In asking that, Lilith was genuinely worried about Elliot and not saying that because she wanted to curse him.
Although the two of them had never met before, Lilith could sense that he was a cold and arrogant person.
"You don't need to worry about me, Avery. I've calmed down now. It's nothing serious, so there's no need to trouble anyone for me, " Lilith said.
"Okay. | won't be back in the country anytsoon, so if you need urgent help, you can always contact Ben. He might scold you alot, but he'll still help you if you're in trouble,” Avery reminded her. " When | first met Elliot, he scoldeda lot too." "Why would he scold someone as good as you?" Lilith was puzzled.
"I wasn't that good a person from the beginning. People change little by little. Speople change for be better, while others change for the worse. | hope you'll change for the better, Lilith." Lilith's cheeks felt warm. "Do you always nag people like this? I've never had a mother, but you makefeel like | have one." Avery was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Do you think Ben knew where Elliot went? If he does, I'll move to his house and help you find out.” Lilith disliked her nagging, but she wanted to help her because she was very touched.
"He shares a strong friendship with Elliot, but | don't think he'd let you leave if you want to stay there. And you're a girl. It's not entirely appropriate..." said Avery, raising her concerns.
"Relax! He can’t do anything toright now because I'm pregnant.” Lilith said indifferently. "I'll move in tonight, and I'll contact you when | find out about Elliot." Lilith hung up and started to pack her luggage.
Avery was a little dazed as she stared at the phone when the call ended.
Lilith's offer to help made Avery feel a little awkward.
