Chapter 1053

Elliot felt cold. The moment Avery left his arms, he was so cold he shuddered as if he were about

to freeze to death. He could not let her go.

“Elliot, please don’t torture yourself again in the future?” Avery had lost count of the number of times.
“Whether you made a mistake, or I made a mistake, you have to stop torturing yourself.”

His breathing turned heavier. He was like a ball of fire at that moment, constantly emitting heat.

Avery was worried that a fever might cause him further problems.

“Elliot, let me go. I’ll go get medicine for you.” She pushed his arms away, wanting to get up.

He quickly grabbed hold of her, going up against her.

“Elliot, are you trying to die from sickness?!” Her arms hurt from his grab.

She did not want to yell at him, but if she did not sober him up, even if she used force, she might not
escape his clutches.

After her yells, his grip on her lightened a little, but he still did not let her go.

She sat in front of him. She could not leave him, but she did not want to continue lying down. They stood
in stalemate in the dark.

“…I do want to die.” Elliot’s hoarse voice rang out.

He seemed to be conscious but also delirious from the fever too.



“I’m not going to let you die!” Avery was agitated by him. “If you die, what’s going to happen to me and
the children?”

“I’ll pass on my inheritance to you. You all will live a nice life.” His tone was filled with suffocating despair.

“Why do you want to die?! Just because I was late tonight…” Avery asked. She choked up.

“I’m tired,” Elliot replied.

It was not because she was late. That incident was just a trigger. He felt that his life was a mistake. From
the beginning, it was a mistake.

Avery’s eyes were filled with tears. She pried his hand off her and quickly jumped off the bed.

She turned on the lights, stood by the bed, and looked at him coldly. “Elliot, I’ll take it as if you’re talking
nonsense due to the fever. Anyone can die but you! Don’t you dare leave the three children alone to me
to bring them up! If you dare die, I’ll go with you! We’ll let our children survive on their own!”

Avery said harshly walked out the door.

Elliot lifted his head, the piercing lights made him close his eyes quickly. His head hurt so badly as if it
were about to split apart. Breathing suddenly felt like a luxury.

Without waiting for Avery to come back, he passed out.

The next morning, a phone rang in the quiet room. Elliot opened his eyes. He soon quickly recognized
that it was Avery’s phone. He turned around to see Avery rubbing her eyes, looking for her phone.

She found the phone by the nightstand and answered the call.



“Miss Tate, Adrian is up! He is demanding to see you!” On the other end of the line, the bodyguard’s
anxious voice came through.

Avery immediately looked at Elliot. She saw him looking at her coldly. Chills ran down her back. He had a
fever the night before. He even passed out.

After feeding him some fever medicine, it did not work, so she called the house doctor to send some
medicine in the middle of the night. He put Elliot on drips. His fever only subsided after two bottles.

She had waited for his drips to finish before falling asleep, so she was extremely sleepy at that moment

“I can’t go over,” Avery said to the bodyguard, “My husband is sick. I have to care for him.”
