Chapter 24 Enter His Study
Avery couldn't understand this man more and more. He turned on her so quickly.
He was the one who wanted to get divorced before, but now he was the one who changed his face when it came to the divorce. Was he stimulated to a psychopathic state because of his sister's death? When Jacob washed up and left, Avery was still lying on the bed, leaving him with a silhouette of her back.
There was no goodbye like before, only the sound of the door closing.
Avery knew that she was too weak to do anything these days, so she didn't resist much.
The only thing that had not changed was Madison's enthusiasm. She wore an apron and held a spatula to prepare delicious food for her every day.
"Mrs. Hill, I stewed date and ginseng soup today to replenish your body. Please drink some."
Avery smiled gently. "Madison, please make me fish soup."
"Okay."
Looking at the weather outside, Madison suggested, "The yard has been filled with heavy snow. Mrs. Hill, won't you go out to play? I remember you used to like snowball fights with Mr. Hill. After all, the teasing fighting is common between men and women."
"I won't go; I'll take a nap."
Madison closed the door for her, feeling strange. Avery didn't like to eat fish in the past, and she was quite lively, but recently, she was so depressed. Let alone going out to play, she hadn't even stepped out of the master bedroom door.
She thought Avery was having a tantrum with Jacob, so she didn't think much about it.
Avery lay in bed for a few days, and the discomfort in her body gradually subsided. She would supplement a large amount of protein and blood-enhancing ingredients daily just to keep the white and red blood cells at a certain value.
Jacob would come back to sleep every day, but the two of them had no communication at all. They were even back to back at night as if a Milky Way existed between them.
Avery couldn't guess what he was thinking. She felt much better today than in the past few days. Seeing it was still early, and he probably hadn't come back yet, Avery left the master bedroom for the first time and entered Jacob's study. She entered the password when Madison's voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Mrs. Hill."
Avery was shocked. In the past few days, Madison always took the initiative to lend her her phone to play with for a while.
Avery's contact with the outside world had not been broken, but Lee could not find out the cause of Olivia's death.
That was why Avery planned to take the risk and go to Jacob's study to check.
Seeing Madison coming over, she thought that the plan must have failed. Unexpectedly, Madison said, "Mrs. Hill, Mr. Hill's study door was broken before. The code lock has been changed. You need to use your fingerprint. I can help you."
Then Madison wiped her hands on her apron and opened the study door. Avery was shocked by what she did.
Perhaps, in Madison's eyes, the two of them were just quarreling kids. How could she know about their grievances? "Thank you."
"Don't bother; I'm going to make fish soup."
Avery entered Jacob's study. It was no different from before. He was an organized person, and Avery knew the exact order of all the documents' placement.
She quickly found a safe that contained everything about him and his sister, including childhood photos and toys.
This emotional wound was something Avery had never ventured to explore during their time together.
When entering the password, she felt nervous for no reason.
His password used to be her birthday, but now it might have become Layla's birthday.
With a self-deprecating smile, she attempted to enter her own birthday as the password, and unexpectedly, it turned out to be correct. He didn't change it.
With a special mood, Avery opened the door. There were many items in the large safe, including some document bags. The first thing she saw was the words "Death Identification".
Avery quickly took it out, and just after scanning a few lines, a cold voice came from the door. "You stopped acting but became a thief?"
