"Shea, | know you're in pain right now, but you need to hang in there. We've found a compatible kidney for you, and the operation will be done soon. You'll get better after it's all over." Shea had a genuinely happy expression and she asked in a weak voice, "How did you find me?" "Well, | found you stago. Your brother has always believed that you're still alive, so you must continue to be strong.

"I will. Of course | will. | want to give him a surprise..." Shea was excited when she thought of that. "I haven't been this happy in a long time." "You'll have even more stuff to be happy about in the future. Hayden and Layla still remember you, and Robert is very healthy too. He knows how to say Daddy and Mommy, and he's already learning to walk too." "Were you the one who found a compatible kidney for me, Avery?" Shea was beyond grateful. "Wesley searched for a long time, but couldn't find one, and I didn't want to live anymore when | saw him suffering due to my illness..." "Don't say such nonsense. You've suffered a lot already, but a wonderful future is ahead of you." "Yeah... | really want to go home. | miss my brother a lot." Shea's eyes suddenly lost focus, and she muttered, "I'd give anything to go back and see my brother again..." She did not have much energy and fell asleep again shortly after.
Wesley covered her with the blanket and looked at Avery. "She had never said any of that before this. It's because she saw you that she misses Elliot even more." "When will the surgery be, Wesley?" Avery could not wait any longer. "She's so weak that I'm worried if she'll just leave us all of a sudden.” "It'll be the day after tomorrow. There will be a series of pre-op examinations.” Wesley patted her on the shoulder. "I know you want to bring Shea to Elliot as quickly as you can to explain the misunderst Avery's eyes welled up with tears all of a sudden. "I'm not worried about him hating me. | just... | feel like he's suffering so much more than | am right now. I'd love to see him again and talk to him..." "Don't fret over that for now, Avery. Go back and rest! I'll keep watch over Shea and Adrian. You don't have to worry." Wesley continued to comfort her when he saw that she was not looking so good. "Elliot will know the truth soon. He won't be in pain for long.” Avery nodded.
Wesley was right. Whatever Avery and Elliot experienced could never compare to the pain that Shea had endured.
When Avery left the hospital, she could not help but turn on her cell phone and dial Elliot’s number.
She had called him countless times in the past few days but was never able to get through to him. Surprisingly, on the one occasion where her hope was at its lowest, the call got through.

She prayed and hoped that he would answer her call.
Before she could finish her prayer, her call was answered.
She was stunned, and she seemed to hear his familiar breathing.
Before she could open her mouth, her tears fell one at a time.
"This is our last call, Avery," Elliot spoke in a calm and indifferent voice. "Let's say goodbye." Last call? Goodbye? "Elliot! Don't break up with me! Please don't! Please!" Her emotions had collapsed completely and she could not care less about her dignity. "I have already told Adrian that he'll return all his shares to you! Just wait a few more days and I'll bring him back to look for you!" Elliot frowned when she heard her words." You really do enjoy manipulating other people, don't you, Avery? Do you feel a sense of achievement when you see a man being at your mercy because he’s so enthralled by you? | will never ask for something that you've taken away from me! "It's not like that, Elliot! I's not like that at all!" Avery burst into tears. It was as if someone grabbed her neck and stopped her from saying what she wanted to say. Her head was in so much pain, and her heart more so.
