Even after her death novel

Chapter 1425 When Leia spotted Avery, she subconsciously tried to escape, but Avery had already noticed her. "Begonia." The word drifted toward Leia in the night breeze. The woman's voice on the other end of the line sounded a little panicky. "Did someone approach you? Who are you with right now?" "I'll contact you later." Leia hung up and quickly ran away. She was given mechanical legs, so she ran faster than a normal human.

Avery wasn't feeling well, so he only ran after Leia for a little while before slumping onto the floor, panting. Unexpectedly, Leia turned back and ran back to him. She looked at him anxiously. "Are you okay?" She had noticed him leaning against the flowerbed, so she thought that something happened to him. Avery gripped her wrist. "Got you, Begonia." Begonia was Leia's alias in Peace's Embrace. Avery's voice was as gentle as always, and Leia had mixed feelings about that.

No one knew this, but Avery was the only salvation she had in her life. Back then, when she ran away from the poor and desolate village, she encountered Avery. He was the one who brought her back to Peace's Embrace for proper education. He had allowed her to undergo surgery to recover, and he had taught her many things. Later on, she followed Toxic Hive as it broke away from Peace's Embrace, but she had never forgotten him. He had given her a new life when she was at her worst moments.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Avery was gasping for breath, but the smile remained on his face. "Can we talk?" She couldn't reject him. Avery held onto the flowerbed for support as he got up, but he never let go of Leia's hand. He pulled Leia along with him as he walked toward his room. Under the glow of the streetlights, Leia looked down at their linked hands. In an instant, a blush tinted her cheeks, and her heart raced. She was holding Avery's hand!

This was the first time Avery had held her hand and also the first time she entered his personal space. The room was simple and brightly lit, and it resembled Avery's gentle demeanor. After closing the door to make sure that Leia wouldn't run away, Avery let go of her and apologized. Then, he asked Leia to take a seat. "Do you still drink strawberry milk?" Leia's face turned redder. When he took her in back then, she had insisted on drinking strawberry milk every day.

"You remembered." "Yes." Avery took a carton of strawberry yogurt from the fridge, shaking it. "I don't have milk with me. Will yogurt do?" Leia accepted it with both hands, and she felt her heart turning warm. "Thank you." "Since you liked it in the past, I got used to the strawberry flavor as well. By the way, I forgot to ask, but have you been well these years?" Leia pursed her lips.

"Actually, I'm not doing very well." If Avery kept an eye on her, he would have known that her biological brother had broken her limbs and grounded her. "I've heard some things about you. Begonia, you're a good child. I don't understand why you chose to follow Toxic Hive instead of staying in Peace's Embrace." Leia looked at his handsome face. To her, he was like a deity. "I don't want to talk about the past too much." She found an excuse to avoid the question.

"Begonia, why did you do those things? Ethan is your brother, so why did you hurt your sister-in-law?" Avery's gaze was gentle as always, but there was a hint of judgment in it. Leia could remain indifferent when faced with anyone but Avery. She panicked, for she didn't want to lie to him. New chąpter avąilable oո "I'm jealous of her. She had taken away all my brother's love." "That's not it." Avery was sure of it.

Leia suddenly remembered that the man in front of her wasn't as gentle as he seemed. He was the head of his family, and he was also a shrewd businessman. He saw through her disguises at a glance. He sounded like he was pleading with her, and Leia felt even more conflicted. Search the FindNovel.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
