Chapter 896

Perhaps people do become more sentimental at night. Just as she was contemplating how she should reply to his

message, his call came in. Seeing that she didn’t reply, Elliot figured that there was a fifty percent chance she

might pick up and went ahead tod3 call. Avery’s heart throbbed at his call; after struggling with the choice of either

answering the call or leaving it, she picked up.

“Avery, Jun isn’t as hateful as you think he is,” Elliot said, hoping to keep her interested by leading with the matters

concerning Jun. He knew that Avery felt like she owed Tammy and had taken an interest in Jun’s wedding. “He just

wants to give Tammy a push with thecb wedding.”

Avery immediately understood what he was trying to say. “But what if Tammy doesn’t realize that’s what he is trying

to do?” “That means it’s really over for them,” Elliot’s voice was both calm and careful, “If you are set on marrying

another man, I am definitely not going to let that wedding happen.” Avery retorted furiously, “Do you think

everyone is like you? Who do you think you are to stop me from marrying someone else? I didn’t do a thing when

you went to marry Chelsea!”

“I was about to talk to you about this.” Elliot switched the topic to the major issue and softened his tone, “Avery,

would you look down on me for having mental illnesses? I don’t need you to answer that right away. When I first

decided to compromise with Charlie’s offer, what I thought of was not how the world would see me, but whether or

not you and the kids would look down on me, and whether the kids would be affected by others’ opinions.”

“Elliot Foster, do I seem that fragile to you? Do you really think that the kids and I would care about what the world

thinks?” Avery interrupted him and said, “Stop lying to yourself. You are afraid of being looked down on by the

others, not me or the kids! The fact that you gave up on us at the airport hurt me more than you having mental

illnesses!” The other side of the line went silent and after a moment, she continued, “I said it wrongly. The fact that

you are mentally ill does not affect me. If your illness is so severe that you are completely out of control and

couldn’t tell right from wrong, then I wouldn’t have fallen in love with you in the first place!”

“It happened when I was young,” he explained in a hoarse voice, “I would often get confused as to whether I was

mentally ill.”

“Then go see a psychiatrist!” “I did. The doctor said I’m fine.”

“Why would you think that you are ill, then?” She questioned in confusion. “Why were you even diagnosed to be

mentally ill when you were young?”

She immediately realized that he would probably refuse to tell her the truth as soon as she asked the question. He

had chosen to get a divorce instead of telling her about Shea, and she

was the last one to know that he was mentally ill.

This was something about him that irritated her the most. She felt that she was nothing but a pet that entertained

him whenever he was in a good mood and that he did not respect her at all. She promised herself that she would

never allow herself to be manipulateded again.

After a few moments of silence, Elliot asked, “Have you been to Shea’s grave? If not, let’s go there together!”

“I haven’t.” Disappointedly, Avery said, “Why are you talking about Shea, Elliot? Do you take her as a shield to hide

all your mistakes? I’m in her debt, not yours. Even if she is your biological sister, the two of you are completely

different entities. If you still have a heart in there somewhere, you would stop bringing up her name whenever we

discuss our issues. She is not your pawn. She is already dead, can’t you just let her rest inie peace?!”

A sharp pain shot through Elliot’s heart and soon spread towards his limbs.

She had misunderstood him. He did not mention Shea to appear innocent, he simply wanted to visit Shea’s grave

with Avery and tell her the truth about what happened in the94 past.

Avery asked him why he was diagnosed with mental illnesses when he was young and it had something to do with

Shea.

He remembered distinctively that it was a full moon that night because it was the middle of Autumn, and his

mother had taken Shea back home to18 celebrate.
