Chapter 731

Elliot walked over to the intensive care unit and sat on a bench outside.

Mike sat down next to him.

“Go home and get some rest,” Elliot said.

” I’m used to staying up at night. I won’t be able to sleep if I went back now.” Mike leaned back against

the chair and scrolled through his phone.

“I’m looking for sources in Bridgedale… It’s not like people who have this rare blood type don’t exist.

Why do you think nobody’ s donating? Are we not offering enough money?”

“Not everyone knows their blood type, and not everyone knows about our needs.” Elliot’s eyes were

cold as he said, “The world’s bigger than we think it is. Plenty of people live in areas with no electricity

or water. They don’t even know what the internet is.”

Mike stared at him carefully and said, “That makes sense. I think I know why all those women fall for

you. You’re capable, but you also sometimes drive people mad.”

“Please elaborate. ” Perhaps it was because of the silence of the night, but Elliot felt calmer.

“Do you know what I like about Chad?” Mike gave him an example and said, “We tell each other

everything. There are no secrets between us. I think most couples are just like us. You and Avery aren’t

like that, though. Maybe it’s because you’re someone who sits at the top of the pyramid, so you have

more secrets that you can’t reveal to others.”

Mike’s words turned Elliot silent.

“I can tell that you love each other, but you’ll only continue to fight endlessly if you don’t close the gap

between the two of you. She won’t marry you no matter how many kids you have and how much

money you make,” Mike continued.

Elliot’s eyes glistened slightly as a hint of helplessness flashed across them.

“I don’t need her to marry me, Mike. I just want Robert to get better and raise the children with her. ” He

lowered his gaze as he said indifferently, ” Someone like me is content with just being able to have

kids.”

“Is that really what you think?” Mike chuckled coldly.

“Yes.”

“Then, what if Avery wants to get married? What if she marries someone else in the future? Would you

be able to be so carefree?” Mike said emotionally.

Elliot felt a lump in his throat as he found it hard to answer his questions.Of course, it would be

impossible for him to be carefree.He won’t marry, but he also did not want to see her get married.

Suddenly, the doors to the intensive care unit burst open as the doctor walked out.

“Robert ‘s condition is improving, Mr. Foster, ” said the doctor excitedly. “The blood transfusion worked!”

Mike shot to their feet as different levels of joy appeared on their faces.

“Was the blood enough?” Elliot asked nervously.

” It’s better if we had a little more as back—up. His condition improved because he just got a blood

transfusion. We don’t know what will happen after this.”

“I’ll go find more right away, ” Elliot said.

“Me, too!” Mike exclaimed.

The two men had planned on getting some rest after Robert woke up.

However, now that Robert’s condition had improved, they were even more afraid to fall asleep.

The next day, Avery arrived at the hospital accompanied by Mrs. Cooper.

After the doctor explained Robert’s condition to Avery, he said, “After Mr. Foster found out that the

blood transfusion worked last night, he immediately left to find more sources. He’s been calling every

two hours to ask about Robert’s condition. I’ve never met a father as dedicated as he is.”

The doctor’s words sent ripples running through Avery’s heart.

“Thank you,” she said hoarsely.

“I’m just doing my job. By the way, a woman claiming to be Robert ‘s aunt came to see him this

morning, ” said the doctor. “She looked pale, so I asked her to go home and rest.”

“Robert’s aunt?” Avery mumbled.

“Could it have been Shea?” she wondered to herself.

“Yes, her complexion was unusually pale. She looked malnourished and hypovolemic, ” said the doctor.

“If she really was Mr. Foster’s sister, you should warn him about this.”
