Chapter 330

In the master bedroom at the Starry River Villa, Avery had gone to sleep from jet lag since
she returned at six in the morning.

Layla rushed to the bed, held her mother’s hand in hers, then cried out in a baby-like voice,” Mommy!
Wake up! I have something to tell you! Hurry and wake up!”

Avery vaguely heard the sound of her daughter’s voice, then struggled to open her eyes

“Shea said she’s dying, Mommy! Please save her!” Layla pleaded when she saw her mother’s eyes
open.

Avery instantly jolted awake.

She sat up in bed and saw Shea standing next to Layla.

She took a breath and wanted to refuse, but the words that ended up coming out of her mouth were,
“Why do you think you’re dying, Shea?”

Mrs. Scarlet interjected before Shea could respond, “She’s been exhausted ever since the surgery.
She’s always tired even after sleeping all night. She’s just sluggish all day…”

“Has she gotten a checkup at the hospital?” Avery asked.

Mrs. Scarlet shook her head and said, “Doctor Sanford said that this was a normal post surgical
reaction and that she just needed more rest.”

“You and Shea don’t think this is normal, do you?”

Mrs. Scarlet hesitated, then said, “I don’t have an opinion, so I just listen to the doctors. However, it
doesn’t feel good seeing Shea like this.”



“Take her to the hospital, then!” Avery sighed. “If you can bring her here, why can’t you send her to the
hospital for a checkup?”

“I wouldn’t dare take her to the hospital myself,” Mrs. Scarlet responded dejectedly. “I’m worried that
would upset Doctor Sanford.”

“She’ll be even more upset that you brought her to me.”

“Shea wanted to come here. Please take her to the hospital for a checkup, Miss Tate! Mr. Foster won’t
be angry if it was you.”

Avery was speechless.

The truth was that Mrs. Scarlet did not want to offend Elliot and Zoe herself, so she wanted to use
Avery as a scapegoat.

“I’m begging you, Miss Tate,” Mrs. Scarlet pleaded as she bowed her head.

At that moment, Layle chimed in, “Take Shea to the hospital, Mommy! She wasn’t like this before. What
if she really dies?”

“Layla, you…”

“Mommy! Layla isn’t a bad person! She’s already so pitiful. Please help her!” Layla cried through
reddened eyes.

Avery surrendered and gave in.

She sent the children back to school, then drove Shea and Mrs. Scarlet to the hospital.

“Did you bring any ID, Shea?”



Shea shook her head.

“Do you remember any ID numbers?” Avery asked again.

“Shea doesn’t have any ID, Miss Tate,” Mrs. Scarlet answered.

Avery was at a loss for words.

How could that be?

That was unimaginable!

Every citizen in Aryadelle had some form of identification. Even the children in the orphanages had
them.

Why did shea not have any ID?

Avery did not pester further.

Mrs. Scarlet would not tell her anything even if she asked.

Moments later, Shea said in the backseat, “I think you’re the one who did my surgery, Avery.”

Avery saw the shock on Mrs. Scarlet’s face in the rearview mirror.

“It wasn’t me,” Avery denied right away. “I’m just taking you to the hospital for one checkup, Shea. Go
to Elliot if anything ever happens again. Got it?”

Mrs. Scarlet picked up the dismay in Avery’s voice, then quickly said, “I’m sorry for the trouble, Miss
Tate. I won’t let her bother you again.”

“Thank you for understanding,” Avery said. “I understand,” Mrs. Scarlet said with an embarrassed face.
