Cole froze and thought to himself, "Why is it Elliot's voice on the other end?! This is Avery's number, but why is Elliot the one calling?’ Cole glanced at the screen of his phone to confirm that it was Avery's number, before taking a deep breath.
‘Why are you callingwith Avery's phone? Don't you have your own phone?" Cole panicked. "Do you need something? There's nothing left to say between us!" Elliot gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of update are you supposed to give Avery tomorrow? Spill!" "Go ask Avery! | " "If you have no concern for your life, | can send my men after you right now!" Elliot could kill Cole as easily as it would be for him to squish an ant. He used to hold back under consideration that Cole was his nephew, but with that no longer being true, he could act at any moment.
Frightened, Cole's face turned green." Don't! | will tell you!" Elliot suppressed his anger and waited for an explanation.
"Here's what it is." Not daring to tell Elliot the truth, Cole proceeded to make up a story. "Adrian hasn't been feeling so well. Since Avery used to be his doctor, we went to Avery about his condition. Avery wants us to hand Adrian to her so she can treat him, but my dad doesn't feel so comfortable about that..." "You mean your dad doesn't feel so comfortable about me!" Elliot said sarcastically.

Avery cout of the shower to find Elliot standing with a dark expression, she walked towards him in confusion.
"I went through your phone just now," he confessed, "You didn’t call Mike." She was stunned for a moment ?d!:SLR= started to panic, but somehow managed to maintain her composure. "You checked my contact history?" "Yes, | did," He admitted honestly, "Is there something I'm not supposed to see?" "No!" She avoided his eyes for a split moment, before grabbing her phone from the nightstand to glance through the contact history; Elliot had called Cole and the phone call lasted for two minutes. She was curious as to what they talked about during those two minutes, so with a nervous heart, she asked, "What have you two talked about?" She was worried that Cole would crumble before Elliot's threats and end up telling him everything.
Elliot stared at her face thoughtfully, before answering, "He toldwhat you two talked about.” "Oh? And what did he say?" Her heart sank.
"Tell me. I'm worried that he might lie." "Tellwhat you've talked about and | will know if he was lying." Elliot seemed to struggle in trusting her. She had been on her phone and lied to him more frequently than before. Even if it truly concerned Adrian, was this necessary? "It's about Adrian.” She took his hand." Elliot, Adrian is really having a hard time, and Henry isn't treating him well either." "That's none of your business." He shook her hand off and continued in a stern tone," You can't save the world and everyone in it. Just focus on your own life!" He strode into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
Avery felt a lump in her throat at the realization that Elliot was mad at her; ever since they got married, he had been very careful with his temper. He had been gentle and patient with her and her children. Not only was he a great husband, but he was also a wonderful father.
