Chapter 780

As Wanda was leaving, Charlie‘s eyes were filled with resentment and tears.

‘I’m not dead yet! How dare Wanda look down on me?!‘ He thought, ‘it‘s bad enough that Elliot doesn‘t
consider me his rival. Who does Wanda think she is to look down on me?’

At the memorial service, personal belongings that represented Shea were carried onto the car after the
ceremony and they were meant to be buried next to Rosalie‘s grave.

The rest of the guests headed towards the hotel for the lunch service; Mike was about to take the
children to the hotel as well, but noticed that both Layla and Hayden were staring at Elliot, who was
about to deliver Shea’s belongings to the graveyard.

"He is going to the graveyard. Do you two want to go with him?" Mike asked..

Hayden nodded and Layla copied his motion.

"Alright! Let‘s go with him, then." With that, Mike took them along with him and headed towards the
graveyard.

The graveyard was surrounded by mountains and the temperature was extremely chilling.

Once they buried Shea‘s remains, the gravestone was planted. Elliot kneeled and placed a bouquet of
lilies in front of the grave while looking at the smiling photo of Shea. "Shea, if there‘s a next life, don‘t
be so silly again."

Layla heard him and mumbled, "Shea isn‘t silly! silly people know nothing, and she knew everything."

Mike gave Layla a look and silently hinted her to stop talking.



"Shea must have known that it‘s my mom who did her surgery, that‘s why she likes my mom so much.
That‘s why she likes me and my brother, and also our little brother..." Layla was so depressed; she
knew that if she didn‘t take the opportunity to speak her mind, she wouldn‘t get another chance again.

"If I have a time machine that allows me to travel back in time, I will definitely stop Shea from giving her
blood to our brother. Robert is really cute, but I didn‘t want to lose Shea as well."

Elliot‘s body stiffen at Layla’s words.

Avery was the one who performed Shea‘s surgery? It was Avery the entire time.

Elliot felt as though he had been struck by lightning.

Mike watched as Elliot‘s face turned from white to red, before darkening.

"Layla, why would you spill everything out like that? Your mom didn‘t even mention this to him," Mike
whispered to Layla.

Layla didn‘t think that she had done something wrong.

"But Shea is already gone! Even after the two surgeries my mom did for her, she still died!"

‘‘Two surgeries!‘ Elliot thought, ‘Avery was the one who did both surgeries on Shea!‘’

Elliot swallowed hard as he stared intently at Layla‘s face, feeling as though everything before him was
a dream.

If Avery was the one who performed the surgeries on Shea, why was he completely unaware of it? He
even ended up paying Zoe 300 million like a clown.



He felt like a fool, while Avery watched everything refused to mention this to him even after Shea‘s
death. If Layla hadn‘t talked about it, was Avery going to keep this from him forever?

Mike could sense that Elliot was emotionally unstable, so he picked Layla off the ground and took
Hayden‘s hand with his other hand, before saying goodbye.

"It‘s too cold here. I will take the kids and go now."

With that, Mike left hastily before Elliot could react.

The weather was cloudy and it looked as though the sky was about to fall.

The graveyard was surrounded in silence, so one would distinctly hear the slightest movement.

Elliot looked back at Shea‘s smiling face in the photo as his state of mind shifted drastically.

It was no wonder that Shea would call out to Avery every time after the surgeries; it was no wonder that
Shea said she heard Avery‘s sound after the second surgery and refused to accept that Zoe was the
one who performed the surgery.
