Chapter 627

Zoe shook her head. “I didn’t see it, because when I came to my senses, my eyes had already been
gouged! It’s so painful I want to die! I heard Avery say that this is what I deserve. I heard it clearly! Elliot, I
won’t lie to you! I already have nothing right now! I can’t lie to you!”

“Her voice?” Elliot was stunned. “Are you sure you didn’t mishear?”

“Impossible! I’m not mistaken, because I hate her too much!” Zoe gripped Elliot’s hands tightly as if she
was holding onto a lifeboat. “Elliot, I won’t dare to lie to you! If I were to lie to you, you would be able to
find out immediately! I beg you. I beg of you. We once had a relationship together, please have pity on
me…”

Elliot looked at Zoe’s quivering lips and pale face. His heart was extremely heavy.

His instincts told him that Zoe was not lying, yet another voice in his mind kept reminding him that Avery
would not do such a thing!

“Zoe, I’ll look into it, “Elliot promised, “But before we get to the bottom of it, rest more and

get well soon.”

Zoe shook her head. “No…I won’t live anymore. I’ll wait for my father to come, and I’ll return with him to
Bridgedale. I will get my friend to help euthanize me. I can’t accept that I have turned into a blind person.
Hehehe…” Zoe laughed amidst crying.

“No matter what you find out, it means nothing to me, because I truly heard Avery’s voice! She’s the
murderer! There could not be any other outcomes!” Zoe choked up and said, “I’ll wait for her incd hell!”

Coming out of the hospital, it was already dark. It was drizzling too.

The bodyguard stood next to Elliot with ange umbrella.



After getting in the car, the bodyguard asked, “Mr. Foster, where to?”

Elliot’s jaw tightened. His voice was cold. “Starry River Villa.”

Zoe only hoped for death at that moment. She did not even want the child in her anymore. He had to
look for Avery to ask if she was the one that did it.

It was best if it was not her. If it was her, why did she have to be so cruel?

At the Starry River Villa, Avery was lying in bed, flipping through a medical book.

The children were not home. Mike would only be back later that night. The entire house was strangely
quiet.

The wind outside was howling, Avery closed the book distractedly and looked out of the window.

Looking at the rain pitter-pattering on her window, she immediately got out of bed and checked if the
other windows in the villa had been properly shut.

When she was downstairs, a set of headlights shone through the window, which pierced her eyes.

Was Mike back already?

Avery walked to the door and opened it. A black Rolls-Roice entered her sight.

Why was Elliot there?

Avery opened the door, at the same time pressing the button that opens the gate in front of the
courtyard.

Elliot got out of the car. He did not let his bodyguard shelter him with the umbrella. He strode over to her
under the rain.



Looking at his darkened expressions under the streetlights, a bad feeling rose in her heart.

She did not know what had happened, she could not guess it either. Just when her mind was in a mess,
Elliot was already in front of her.

“Why did you not use an umbrella?” Avery looked at his wet face and clothes. She asked worryingly,
“What happened?”

“Zoe was the one that looked for you yesterday morning, right?” Elliot stood by the door. He did not
change his shoes nor enter the house. His sharp gaze focused on Avery’s face.

Avery hated this look of his. “I’ve already said it’s a small matter…”

“Her eyes have been gouged. She said that you did it.” Elliot interrupted her. He said anxiously, “Avery,
tell me. Did you do it?”
