"What's wrong?" A deep male voice came from the top of her head. There was a hint of impatience in its tone. It was obvious that he had been woken up.
Blake frowned as he looked at the mess on the ground. Fresh blood was dripping down the white marble floor. Avery was curled up on the ground, looking pitiful. “Injured?” he asked.
"None of your business." Her tone was somewhat sharp.
He suddenly snorted, his palm plastered against her round chin, not allowing her to avoid his gaze.
Avery’s eyes were filled with tears. She was bright and beautiful to the point that it made one's heart palpitate.
"Tell me, what are you crying for?" He narrowed his eyes, his breath warm on her pale cheeks.
"My hand hurts." She bit her lips and continued avoiding his sight. Blake’s profound eyes penetrated the depths of human nature, and it even made her feel a little afraid.
She pushed him away and stumbled into the kitchen. After rummaging through the cabinets, she finally found the medicine box. She sat on the floor and applied the medicine to herself. The pain from the disinfectant stung every cell, and her tears rolled in her eyes.
As a doctor, she knew how important hands were to her. However, the pain from her palm was far less than her heart. She felt that a corner of her heart, where she pretended to be fine, was slowly rotting and rotting.
She married him for real. Even though he was always cold to her, even if he rarely came home … Someone once told her that love requires courage. She had bravely loved him, but what she had received was forever a heartless betrayal. Alex, her ex-boyfriend, was like this, Blake was still the same.
When she wiped her tears off and walked out of the kitchen, Blake had already changed into a suit and was preparing to leave.
At the entrance, his black leather shoes were polished to a point where they shone brightly. He hesitated for a moment before a peculiar color flashed across his eyes. Actually, Avery was a very good wife, but unfortunately, he wasn't a qualified husband.
"I'll pick you up at the hospital tonight. There's a social meetup, accompany me there." He then opened the door and left.
Avery stared blankly at the door that was still tightly shut. Blake would never ask for her permission, his words were like an imperial decree that no one could refute. Every second he gave her seemed like a gift.
Avery sat alone at the dining table and ate her breakfast. When the soft bread entered her mouth, it was like chewing on wax.
After breakfast, she hurried to the hospital. Because of the injury to her hand, she had the intern cancel all operations for a week.
"Doctor Foster, why don't you go to the surgery to bandage the wound on your hand? What if it gets infected? This kind of thing can't be taken lightly." The intern was kind.
"It was just a small injury, don't make a fuss." Avery changed into a white coat and picked up the records left behind by the night doctor. While reading, she walked towards the ward.
She pushed open the door of the dry ward.
Feliz Cruz seemed to have recovered quite well. Her face was rosy, and she had regained her composure. The nurse on duty, Dina, was taking her temperature with a straight face.
"Miss Cruz, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere today?" Avery kept her head down, the pen in her hand quickly memorizing the various numbers.
…
Feliz gave a faint smile, her fingers pressing down on her chest, "You're not feeling well, are you?"
The pen in Avery’s hand suddenly stopped, it was clear that the lady knew about the relationship between her and Blake Anderson.
She looked up at the woman on the sickbed, then instructed the nurse on duty, "Contact the physician on duty to do a comprehensive heart examination for Miss Cruz."
Feliz glared at her, her beautiful face contorted in anger, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. She had been in the entertainment circle for so many years, yet she could still maintain her composure.
"Dr. Foster, no, it should be Mrs. Anderson. I heard that you were the one who operated on me, so I should be thanking you. However, there are some things that I think you should still know …"
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your personal matters." Avery interrupted her with a calm voice, closed the record book, and turned to walk out.
"Blake impregnated me; I love him, and he loves me; he promised me he would divorce you." Feliz’s voice sounded from behind her, sounding extremely anxious.
"Don’t you feel ashamed? Do you really need to slap those words to her face?” Without waiting for Avery to speak, Dina growled at the side.
Avery’s legs seemed to have been nailed to the ground, her entire body was ice-cold to the point of being numb. She slowly turned around and stared at Feliz with her cold, clear eyes. The corner of her mouth slowly raised into a mocking smile. "Miss Cruz, it doesn't matter who your child is because he has already disappeared. As for the divorce, it's also up to Blake to personally tell me that.”
Feliz pursed her lips, speechless.
"If there's no problem, Miss Cruz can leave the hospital today. After all, the beds in our hospital are very tight,” Avery said as she stepped on her high heels and left.
"Did you hear that? If there's nothing else, then you can leave after this. " Dina grumpily roared as she pulled Feliz’s arm and rudely stabbed the needle into her blood vessel.
“Ah! Be gentle, do you know how to use an injection?" Feliz screamed.
Dina left the ward and went straight back to her office. When she opened the door, she saw Avery sitting in front of the window in a daze. It was an exquisite view, her facial expression was indifferent without any emotion, but somehow it made people want to cry.
Her smile was extremely bitter as her gaze lightly fell on her injured hand. The snow-white bandage was stained with mottled blood.
"Avery, what are you trying to do with your half-dead look? Whether it's the divorce or the earth-shattering ruckus, we can never let the Anderson guy have a good time. "
"He's not having a good time, so how can I?" Avery brushed off the hair in front of her forehead and went to the side to pour herself a cup of warm water.
When Dina saw her calm appearance, she became angry.
Without making any arrangements for the operation, Avery stayed in the office for the whole afternoon. Unknowingly, it had already started getting dark outside the window.She suddenly remembered that Blake asked her to accompany him to the banquet. She hurriedly stood up, and her vision suddenly turned black. After staggering for a few steps, she managed to stabilize herself.She ignored breakfast. She didn't even eat lunch. Her head felt heavy, her stomach throbbed, and so did her heart. She took out her phone and called Blake.The phone rang many times before answering. A familiar, low, magnetic voice came from the other end. "What is it?" he asked."I, I might not be able to accompany you to the banquet."There was a brief silence, then the sound of the air currents filled both ends of the microphone. “And the reason?""I'm not feeling well."He was silent again. Then, he gave an emotionless "Okay" and hung up the phone.A beeping sound came from the phone. Avery looked at it in a
Separated by a door, in the darkness, Blake leaned against the living room's sofa and lit up a cigarette with his fingertip. He frowned as he smoked. There was a trace of melancholy between his brows. His pair of starry eyes that were as deep as the sea hid too many worries.The next morning, the sky was bright.Avery crawled up from the bed, her body aching in pain. The silk covering her body slipped and revealed her naked body. A large part of the skin on her chest was covered in blue kisses.The room was empty. The silence was suffocating. She hugged the blanket on her body tightly and revealed a mocking smile from the corner of her mouth.He was rather carefree.Many times, Zhan Yan felt that she was no different from a prostitute, but a prostitute had a price, she could only let him sleep for free.Avery put on her clothes and got off the bed, then walked into the kitchen with a pair of cloth slippers. She rummaged through the medicine cabinet, poured two yellow pills into her mo
“Oh, I almost didn’t recognize you. So it's Miss Foster. Why, are you here? To see a doctor? Is it an infectious disease or a venereal disease?” Dina blocked in front of Avery and mocked and ridiculed Willa.Willa’s expression immediately changed, pointing at Dina, she cursed, "Watch your mouth, who do you think you are? Isn't you the Gomez family's illegitimate daughter?”"An illegitimate daughter is better than you, a crappy bitch." Dina placed her hands on her hips, showing no fear.Dina was famous for her ferocity, so Willa was naturally not her match."You, you …" Willa was so angry that her entire body was trembling, but she could not utter a single word."Alright, Willa. Don't lower yourself to the same level as that shrew. Be careful of your fetus." The girl at the side tugged on Willa’s arm.Willa stroked her lengthy hair, her hand gently caressing her lower abdomen, as she boasted, "Avery, I forgot to tell you. I'm pregnant.”"Is that so? Congratulations,” Avery replied blan
Blake sat alone on the sofa at the side. His slender legs naturally crossed each other, and his handsome face was hidden in the darkness, giving off a strange oppressive feeling, as if this man was born to be a king.The phone on the table suddenly buzzed, and the screen lit up with the name 'Angie’.A trace of impatience appeared between his brows. The next moment, he grabbed the phone from the table and threw it into the goblet, letting out a crisp clink. He narrowed his eyes and watched as the red wine flooded the phone, gradually turning the glossy screen into darkness."You accompanied Angie for three years, and she finally started to force a marriage? You're not really going to get a divorce for her, are you? Your father-in-law is not someone to be trifled with.” At the side, Trevor spoke in a teasing tone."Don't worry about me, just mind yourself first. Hurry up and deal with Feliz’s matters, don't give me any trouble." Blake’s clear and low voice was filled with a domineering
"Mom, today is a happy day. Don't let others who aren't related to you feel awful. I'll accompany you for a few rounds."Tammy instructed the maids at home to set up the table, and she sit by the table with her mother in her arms. She was the eldest daughter, the one who had always been the best at coaxing Eva Anderson.Eva, Tammy, Susana, Jace, and her wife just happened to be sitting together at the table. Angie was placed elegantly at the side, gracefully sitting on the leather sofa in the living room."Avery, when do you and Blake plan to have children?" Eva touched her badge and said without any warning."Huh?" Avery’s thoughts could not keep up with the rhythm of the scenario."You’ve been married for three years, yet there's no progress. Isn't she working in the hospital? Since she's free, she's going to check if there's anything wrong with her body.""Oh,” Avery replied perfunctorily, she touched his card and without looking at it, she threw it out."Yes, Thirteen. Kill them a
It was a dark and gloomy day. At that time, he was waiting outside Angie’s house day and night, but there was no news of her. Then, after many years, on the day of his marriage with Avery, she returned with a body riddled with scars.Eva sat on the sofa with a cold expression. Tammy pulled the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened to you two? Avery drove away. ""Which way did she go? I'll go find her. " Blake frowned, he picked up the car keys and ran out, completely ignoring his mother's complaints.The sky gradually darkened as neon lights flashed on both sides of the road. Blake’s car drove very fast, and finally found Avery’s little beetle at the end of the road. The car crashed into a tree branch, and the window of the car shattered. His heart was thumping hard, he stepped on the throttle and parked the car, then got off the car in a hurry to check.The door to the car was opened, but there was no one inside, while Avery was curled up, sitting un
"Avery?" At this moment, the man also saw her. The astonishment on his handsome face turned to sadness. He didn't expect that in order to avoid her, he would even switch to a different hospital.Three years, exactly three years. This was the first time Avery had appeared in front of him. Three years ago, she threw him a slap in the face and left. When they met again three years later, it was like this."Avery, you, are you alright?" Alex’s hoarse voice had a hint of a sob.Avery was silent, in the shadows, her lips curled up into a self-deprecating smile. Memories poured out of her mind like a tide, pressing down on her so hard she could barely breathe.That year, her dependent grandmother suddenly died. Then she overheard her mother and father talking, and her mother firmly opposed taking her home to raise her. She wanted her to perish on her own. This succession of attacks was undoubtedly fatal for a 17-year-old girl. Then, Avery carried her grandmother's burn and somehow stood on t
"It's too late. If we don't start the operation soon, she will die.""I don't agree,” Alex said firmly. He would rather become a murderer than let Avery get hurt again."If you don't sign the agreement, I will have the operation done. I will be responsible for any consequences." Avery passed him and entered the operating room."Avery!" Alex chased after her but was stopped by the nurse.“I’m sorry, sir. The patient's family members are not allowed inside. "Alex squatted on the ground in defeat, picked up the surgical confirmation letter, and signed his name without hesitation. He put his head in his hands, and the pain on his face intensified. This was the Avery Foster that he knew, so kind that it made others feel helpless.Avery spent the whole night in the office, looking exhausted. Dina pushed the door and walked in, bringing a cup of warm coffee in front of her, "Isn't the operation over? Why aren't you going home? ""Willa’s condition is still unstable, I can't leave." Avery ra
