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 you46 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 entire34 day.”

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.

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

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!”

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.”
