He toldthat she cback and | wanted to meet her...” "Oh. Ben did calljust now asking where we are," Mike said. "Avery's fever has just gone down. She isn't in a good place right now because of what happened to Elliot, so letgo in and speak to her first." "Okay. Tell her that I'm here for Lilith," Mrs. Schaffer said.
Mike was confused but went in to convey her message regardless.
In two minutes" time, Mike opened the door and let Mrs. Schaffer in.
Avery leaned against the headboard of her bed and tried her best to look energetic.
"Avery, are you okay?" Mrs. Schaffer set the fruits and flowers onto the counter and sat down next to the bed. "You might not remember me. When you and Elliot got married, | was there at the wedding.” "How could | possibly forget you? | remember talking to you!" Avery forced a smile.
"Yes. | heard that you aren't feeling well so | decided to pay you a visit. You are still young, Avery, there's still a long way ahead of you. Do not let the pain defeat you. Ben and Elliot were as close as real brothers, so even with Elliot gone, Ben will surely help you out if you encounter any difficulties in the future.” "I know. What's wrong with Lilith?" "She is pregnant with Ben's baby. As Ben is not home, | had a discussion with his dad, and we don't intend on casting Lilith aside, so we intend to get Ben to marry her. | talked to Lilith about this, and she said that even though Elliot is gone, you are still around ;a,?QJY? she needs your opinion on this." Avery was stunned, and thought to herself, "So the baby really is Ben's." "Did she really say that?" Avery had not expected Lilith to leave the decision to her.

"If she decides to give birth to the baby, of course, it would be better to start a life with Ben. | am sure that Ben will take care of her for Elliot's sake." "| feel so relieved to hear you say that, Avery. Get srest and recover here in the hospital. Ben will help arrange Elliot's funeral and once this is over, let us discuss Ben and Lilith’s wedding, okay?" Avery nodded.
After Mrs. Schaffer left, Mike strode inside and said, "What's with Lilith?" "Can | go now?" Avery glanced at the ward.
Everything she saw made her depressed, and she wanted to leave.
"No." Mike walked toward the bed. "The doctor took your blood to run stests. Until the results cout, you are staying right here. Besides, do you really want to go hto Hayden looking like this?" Avery sighed and lay back down on the bed.
"Mike, my head hurts... | might not have long to live,” she mumbled. "If | die, | will give you all my money. My only wish is for you to raise my kids until they are grown." Mike's head started hurting at her mumbling. "Is your head really hurting so badly?” He sat down by the bed and grabbed her hand. "It's too bad that we can't run any tests today. We can only wait until tomorrow. | will go get the doctor to arrange the appointments first and take you to the tests first thing in the morning." She withdrew her hand and beccalm again. "I'm fine...
| feel kind of sleepy so I'll just go back to sleep.” "Avery, Ben allowed you to escape once. | am staying here in this room tonight. Rest, and don't even think about going somewhere else," Mike said sternly, "Once you wake up tomorrow, we are taking you to get a full-body checkup. | want to see if you are really dying."
