Chapter 629

Elliot was in a daze looking at Avery coming out. Before he could think of anything, his body already took
a step toward her.

He picked her up in his arms and strode back indoors.

Although Avery had only been in the rain for a few seconds, her face was wet from the rain…or perhaps
it was tears!

“Avery, I’m not suspecting you. You said you didn’t do it, that means you didn’t do it.” Elliot placed Avery
down on the sofa. He bent down and explained patiently, “Zoe is so sure that you harmed her. If she
reported it to the police, the police would surely come looking for you. I don’t want you to be questioned
like a criminal. If we can find an alibi for you beforehand, the police won’t need to come to look for
you anymore.”

Avery looked at Elliot’s wet and wretched look. She could not get angry.

“I went to look for Wesley today,” Avery’s voice had no emotions in them. “I was at his house the
entire day.”

“You were in his house the entire day?” The tenderness in Elliot’s eyes instantly vanished. His tone was
obviously more nervous.

“Yes. Are you going to ask what I was doing in his house?” Avery’s clear eyes saw the changes on his
face. Her heart hurt. “This is my private matter. I can’t telled you.”

Elliot felt as if he was ambushed in the dark. He secretly let out a pained muffled grunt

Wesley and she were doing things in private that even he could not be toldge about.



Elliot’s body was so cold he shivered. When he got up, his gaze at her was a little disappointed and
disheartened. He clenched his fists tightly and soon vanished from her sight.

This time, he left. He left without looking back

At one in the morning, Mike’s car drove into the courtyard. After Mike paid the driver, the fumbled to get
out of the car.

When he was by the entrance, he noticed that the huge door was opened. A lamp was turned on in the
living area. Avery was lying on the sofa like a lifeless corpse!

“Avery!” Mike was instantly sobered.

He quickly ran to the sofa and pressed his hands on her cheeks. He was burned by the temperature of
her body.

“Bloody hell! How did she have a fever?” Mike was instantly frantic. He did not know what to do.

She was a pregnant woman at that moment, he did not dare to let her take any medication.

He found a cooling pad from the room where they stored medicine and placed it on her forehead. Then,
he called Elliot.

“Avery is having a fever! I don’t know what I should do! Should I call the ambulance, or should I send her
to the hospital?” Mike did not dare to simply move her about. He was afraid that something might happen
to the child in her tummy.

Elliot gripped his phone tighter. He wanted to go care for her immediately, but when he thought about the
things that she told him that night, his heart hurt so badly that he turned sinister. “Go get Wesley!”

“Oh? Oh!” Mike was in a daze for a while before hanging up and calling Wesley.



In less than half an hour, Wesley rushed over with his medical suitcase. Mike returned to his room
because Wesley was there to care for Avery.

Soon, dawn came.

Avery opened her eyes and the things that happened the night before flooded her mind.

Zoe’s eyes had been gouged. She said that she was the one who did it. Zoe even said that she heard
her voice when it happened.

To prove a person is guilty, one must produce evidence of a crime! Zoe would never be able to produce
any evidence that says that she was guilty!

Elliot made her produce evidence that she was not guilty. Legally speaking, she did not need to do that,
so she could not just accept this.

In the afternoon, Elliot received a call from the captain of the police station.

“Mr. Foster, Avery was accompanied by a male friend just now. She came in to hand in evidence of her
whereabouts yesterday. I had a look. She was at her male friend’s house the entire day. Zoe’s incident
most likely has nothing to do with her. But…” The captain hesitated for a bit before continuing, “Mr.
Foster, Miss Tate’s relationship with this male friend doesn’t seem that simple.”
