Chapter 1026
She shook her head frantically with tears in her eyes. “No… Elliot, it’s not you… It’s really just a nightmare.” Seeing how desperately she tried to explain, he nodded and asked, “Tell me then, what nightmare did you have?” She took a deep breath to slowly calm herself down. “I dreamt of the day of our wedding. We were standing in the church surrounded by guests and I was really excited. Suddenly, the roof of the church was lifted and following a blinding ray of light, a gigantic black monster appeared and reached its enormous claw out, before taking you away with it…” She couldn’t help but start sobbing once again. Elliot believed her and studied her empathetically, “Avery, it’s just a dream. It’s not real. There’s no gigantic monster in this world. Even if there was one, I would kill it before it can take me.”
She sighed a breath of relief after seeing his face right next to her. “Yeah. That dream just seemed so real, so I couldn’t help myself. I feel much better to see you next to me now.” “I will hold you while you sleep.” He turned off the light and lay down next to her, before pulling her into his arms.
Avery leaned against his chest and the sorrow she felt slowly faded as his familiar scent surrounded her. She had come to Elliot’s house tonight not only because she missed him, but also to see if he was affected by Nathan’s threat. If Elliot felt troubled by Nathan, he wouldn’t have been able to conceal it, but she had not been able to pick up the slightest hint of fear or anxiety from Elliot.
Did that mean that Elliot did not view Nathan as a threat at all?
She drifted off to sleep, but Elliot remained awake.
The sound of her crying still lingered in his mind; it sounded so helpless that Elliot wondered if it was a sign of insecurity. Was it the normal premarital anxiety, or had she been hiding something from him? He thought back to the recent events of her life. She did not take part in organizing the wedding, so apart from working at the office and meeting up with Tammy occasionally, all she did was keep the children company. ‘No… there’s Adrian White,’ he thought, ‘She said that Adrian was in Aryadelle DWB5{VFT she’s looking for him.’ Adrian had the same condition as Shea, and Avery had mentioned that his family was cruel to him though she didn’t know his family in person.
Elliot had paid Adrian no attention so far, but he suddenly started getting suspicious. The day he was brought into the Foster Family, the real young master of the Foster Family was taken away. Where was the young master Foster in the present?
Adrian’s family name was White and so was Nathan.
A chilling premonition rose within him.
The next morning, one of the Seeker Series drones rose into the air from the ground steadily. Mike had rented a room in the area where Adrian was in to set up the control panel. He had made a promise to Avery, and he wanted to deliver it properly. Chad heard of his plan and took a day off to come help. “This place is so close to Mr. Foster’s house, why don’t we just borrow his guest room?” Chad asked.
“I am looking for a guy for Avery, do you think it’s appropriate for me to go to your boss’s place?” After testing all the equipment, Mike controlled the drone and flew it towards the residential area swiftly. “Who’s Avery looking for?” “A patient of hers from Bridgedale. White…. I think.” “Oh, how are we doing this? Teach me and I’ll help you look.” Chad stared at the screen without sparing a moment to blink.
