Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 528
Advertisement
Avery was almost pressed on the hand-washing basin in the bathroom of the ward by Evan.
Her clothes were pulled up, and a hairy head wriggled on her chest.
"Evan, the hospital does not have a breast pump? Who are you lying to?" Avery grabbed his hair and wanted to push him away. The man was so disgusting that he insisted on sucking the breast milk out for her.
"I'm afraid it hurts when you use it."
"You bit me. That hurts." Avery had no idea whether Evan was going to procrastinate on purpose. He sucked it so slowly.
Evan suddenly turned evil and wanted to kiss her.
Avery pushed him away, "No, you have a taste in your mouth."
"You dislike your breast milk?"
"No one drinks their own."
"Let me take a bite."
"No, get someone to buy me a breast pump." Avery couldn't stand him anymore.
Avery had no strength to push him away, but stepped on his shoulders, "If you come again, I will step on your face.��
The two stayed in the bathroom for twenty minutes. When Robert knocked on the door and said something was urgent, Evan let her go finally.
Avery took the opportunity to change her clothes. When she went out, Jamie was still standing by the hallway, and he seemed to be indescribably lonely.
He must have been sad and upset about Andrew's death.
On the day of the car accident, Jamie and Avery were both lucky, and only Andrew gave up the chance to survive to protect her.
"Jamie, how are you these days." Avery walked to his side. They were on the eleventh floor, and they saw a few patients playing chess in the small garden on the winter day.

Jamie smiled bitterly, "Not so well. I stayed by Jessica's side to protect her. She is depressed because of Mr. Clifford's death."
Avery nodded and remembered that Andrew had asked her to take care of Jessica.
Jamie did not stop but went on to ask her, "Will you go to see Mr. Clifford?"
Avery did not hesitate to say, "Yes, I will."
"I'll go with you. Mr. Clifford has something to give to you."
Avery did not ask what it was but just nodded, and she knew that Jamie had not finished speaking.
"At the scene of the accident that day, I was seriously injured, but I was still awake. I heard the sound of high heels."
"High heels?"
"Yes. I still remember the sound. I was able to judge whether my parents were coming home through their footsteps in the corridor when I was a child. Since then, I have been cautious about listening to a person's footsteps."
"The sound of that day was very special. I can tell that this woman is a little arrogant because her steps are very slow, and the frequency of every step is the same. She may be a lady from a noble family."
"If you hear this sound again, will you be sure what you said?"
"I think it should be pretty close. It is a pity that she did not speak that day. Otherwise, I would have been surer."
Avery contemplated for a while and said, "They found a button of the Howel family at the scene. If so, I'll find a way to create a chance for you to listen to the footsteps." Avery also wanted to know who wanted to kill her.
"That's good."
At the end of their conversation, a sound came from far to near.

Avery looked in that direction and saw a woman in a pink dress.
She could not help frowning and asked Jamie in a low voice, "Is that the sound of footsteps?"
Jamie shook his head, "Her shoes are not high heels."
Diana was wearing short heels today.
So Jamie couldn't tell.
"Congratulations, Avery." Diana carried a big gift box in her hand, "I bought a toy for the baby. I heard that children like bright colors."
Avery took a look at the box, which was half transparent and contained a very bright rotating bell.
"Is Evan inside? I'll put the toy in the ward."
"He's busy. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to come in." Avery knew that Diana wanted to take the opportunity to see Evan and blocked the door with her body, "I'll take the gift. Jamie, could you help me walk Diana out, by the way?"
It's obvious that Diana would not be allowed to see Evan. Jamie understood that and cooperated with Avery.
"Where is the baby? I want to see the baby."
"It's not convenient."
Diana, knowing that Avery was hostile to her, smiled and said, "All right. I'll go back first."
Jamie followed Diana. Watching them walk away, Avery returned to the ward.
She vaguely heard that Evan said to the phone to block the photos.
Robert stood by Evan's side. Probably seeing Avery's confusion, he explained in a low voice, "The media published the photos of the baby, and Mr. Howel ordered to block all the Internet and media."
"The photos were taken secretly?"
"There are a lot of people in and out of the hospital, so Mr. Howel wants to protect the little princess in a separate ward."
At this time, Evan finished answering the phone, looked at what Avery had taken in her hand, and blurted out without thinking, "Did Diana come?"
"How do you know that?" Could he tell Diana had come through a toy?
"She studied interior design and preferred bright colors."
Avery threw the toy to Robert and sat next to Evan, "I heard Robert say someone took the photos of our baby."
"I've handled it."
Avery smoothed her hair and rested her head on his thighs.
Her head rubbed against his thighs, expressing her uneasiness.
Evan played with her hair, comforting her, "I will protect our baby."
"Why don't you just let me out of the hospital and bring the baby back to our home?" The Howel family was heavily guarded. If someone of their own did it, they could find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
"It's grandmother's 70th birthday a few days later. If you are home..."
Avery understood what he meant. She and Evan's grandfather have always been at odds with each other. If she returned home and didn't attend Evan's grandmother's birthday party, she would be publicly criticized. If she was in the hospital, she would not be criticized even if she didn't take part in the birthday party.
Avery had told Jamie that she would look for an opportunity, and now the opportunity was in front of her. How could she miss it?
So she sat up and said, "I'd better get out of the hospital."

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
