Diana froze for a bit. And she hummed gently with tiny shyness.

"The drugs work wonders. When I did the test tonight, the doctor said my healing was shockingly fast. Evan, thank you--"

Evan hung up.

He didn't wait for Diana to finish but threw the phone away.

Avery sneered. Without the drug, Diana could do with LAD. But without the drug, she could die.

This was destiny.

Maybe she had no one to blame but destiny.

Avery took off Evan's hands, but Evan kept hugging her, "where are you going?"

"Anywhere but here. Evan, I feel terrible. Leave me alone."

Diana used to live here. She used to be the one Evan cared for. Now she took the drug that was meant for her.

Whether it was by chance, Avery felt this place suffocating.

Especially she felt awful about how Evan didn't give her the drugs sooner. She was depressed.

Avery felt the pressure on her waist gone. Evan finally got off her.

Avery didn't waste a second to get out. The driver pulled open the door for her. She went in immediately. She didn't know where she should go and asked the driver to take her to the presidential house.

Followed by Evan and his security team, Avery got off at the presidential house.

Olivia was arranging flowers in the living room. She held one rose and cut its branch in a tilting angle. She heard the car, put down the rose, and went outside to check.

She saw Avery entering from afar, "Avery, you're back."

"Em," Avery answered and hurried upstairs. Soon she shut the door.

Evan followed her to come in. Olivia gave him a look. They normally couldn't get hands off each other. Now Avery came in first and Evan later. She didn't have to ask to know they argued.

"Sir... should we call a therapist to talk to Mrs. Howel?"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry!"

Erin Darling was called. She got the situation fast because Avery talked to her about Evan.

"Where do you feel wrong? Mr. Howel?"

Evan was getting upset, "Didn't you fill her in?"

Tinder then told Erin what happened in embarrassment. Erin then understood the situation. What was wrong with the couple? Were they both anxious because the due date was near? Or was the anxiety infectious?

"I'll talk to Avery."

Eric heads upstairs led by the maid. But she knocked on the door several times, and Avery said she wanted to be alone.

Erin didn't know what to do.

"Everyone has a unique way to destress. Maybe Avery just needs to be alone..."

Evan started pacing around in front of Avery's room. He didn't get it why Avery was so upset about the drugs. Her worries were completely made-up.

Evan banged on the door several times because he worried about her.

"Open the door! Avery, I order you to open it!"

Avery shut herself in the door and wouldn't let anyone in. She really needed to adjust her feelings.

"Open the door."

There was banging on the door. But there was no response. Evan was worried, mad, "Open the door! You know I have more than one way to open it!"

In the room, there was pitch darkness. Avery sat next to the window and put her head against the cold frame. Staring at the distance, she didn't know what she was looking at. She just felt she was stuffed.

She knew it was no use dwelling on what had happened.

She felt she walked at the cliff, and there was a bridge she could walk on. But it was cut off by Evan. Maybe it didn't belong to her after all.

But she was struggling why he didn't give it to her earlier. He knew how much it meant for her!

Bang-

Some noises soon came from outside. Avery looked around, hearing the bang, and the door was falling down.

He had the door knocked down!

How insane was he!

Avery suddenly felt a thundering headache. She saw next to the window and put her head between her knees.

Evan walked in.

"Avery, I don't know what you're afraid of. But if you get ill, I'll keep you company. I'll get you the best of the best. I'll do everything in my power to make sure you're safe. If you're worried I don't like the baby, I'll try to like it. If you..."

Avery shook her head. She raised her head and cried. Before she had a chance to answer, Olivia was at the door, "What happened? Where's all the noise coming from? Oh my god, why is the door knocked down?"

Olivia opened the light and saw Avery sitting by the window with tears. She pushed Evan off, "Are you mean to Avery? I'm warning you this is a presidential house and not your place. Where do you think you are? How dare you knock off the door here? Don't you have any manners?"

Then she handed over tissues to Avery, "Avery, don't be afraid. I won't let anything happen to you here."

Avery rubbed her temple. She already had a headache, and her mother just made it worse. Olivia acted like she would die before anything should happen to Avery. Avery couldn't really say anything more.

"Mom, I'm okay. Why don't you leave me alone? And get someone to install a new door."

"No. How can I leave while you're like this?" Olivia glared at Evan, "Didn't you hear what Avery said? Get out. I'll stay with her."

Evan was gloomy. He just stood there and wouldn't move.

Avery took the tissues and pressed them on her eyes. They wet the tissues soon. She crumbled them into a ball and said, "Mom, I want to speak to him in private."

Olivia looked at her with worry. Then she gave Evan a dissatisfying look. She didn't want to leave her alone with Evan, but he wouldn't leave. She could do nothing about it, "Give me a call if you need anything."

Olivia was afraid Evan would do something worse than breaking apart the door.

Watching Olivia go, Tinder also left with all the help. Avery and Evan were alone in the empty room.

Avery leaned against the window and tilted her head at Evan. Her eyes were red due to the crying.

"Evan, I just want to know one thing. Why didn't you give the drugs to me at first? Or did you plan to give them to Diana?"

Evan's hand, reaching out to her, frozen in the air, "Didn't you see everything today? I didn't give them to you first because..."
