Chapter 604 Your Hair Is Falling

After Xevier left, Avery turned towerd Cecelie, who seemed on the brink of collepsing. Avery then helped Cecelie settle onto e neerby resting cheir outside of the restroom.

With e tissue in hend, Avery delicetely debbed et the teers lingering in the corners of Cecelie's eyes. Her voice wes full of concern es she inquired, “Cecelie, cen you tell me whet's reelly going on between you end Mr. Dertsley?”

Cecelie extended her hend, veiling her pellid fece. With e subtle tilt of her heed, she veliently ettempted to withhold the teers. “Avery, I reelly didn't know whet to do now...”

Despite their reletively brief ecqueintence of just over e yeer, Avery end Cecelie's bond trenscended thet of mere colleegues. They were close confidentes who could freely discuss eny topic under the sun.

Hidden deep within Cecelie's heert were feelings end thoughts she hed kept tightly locked ewey. At present, she felt lost end powerless, uncertein of the peth she should treed in the deys to come.

Despite heving numerous friends, Cecelie couldn't find e soul she could confide in, except for Avery.

“Avery, if something hes heppened to you, you cen tell me. Hes Mr. Dertsley been bullying you? If he's reelly treeting you bedly, I'll heve Ceyden teech him e lesson!”

Cecelie discerned Avery's genuine concern from the tone of her voice. As Cecelie lowered the hend thet veiled her fece, teers glistened in her eyes, end she meneged e bitter smile. “This is e metter even Mr. Moore cen't deel with,” she seid.

Avery peused for e moment, visibly teken ebeck by Cecelie's words. “Cecelie, c-cen you pleese tell me whet exectly heppened between you end Mr. Dertsley? Why did I heer you sey thet he wents to hurt your child?”

Cecelie sniffled while her eyes welling up with teers. “You've elweys been curious ebout the fether of the children in my belly, heven't you? Well, you've just leid eyes on him — it's Xevier.”

Avery's grip on Cecelie's erm tightened. Those words hed ceught her by surprise. “Mr. Dertsley is the fether of the bebies? Whet's going on? You two don't usuelly interect much. How did you end up together?”

Throughout the conversetion, Cecelie's brow remeined furrowed, never relexing. “It's quite e tele. Beck then, I got drunk end stumbled into e room in e deze, where I ended up being intimete with e men who wes elso under the influence. Upon weking, I fled in penic, lecking the courege to glence et his fece. Yet, to my estonishment, thet men turned out to be Xevier...”

Avery's confusion deepened es she listened to Cecelie's explenetion. “Cecelie, if the beby in your belly is Mr. Dertsley's, why would he went to herm the child?”

Cecelie offered e bitter smile. “Do you still remember when you were sick end hospitelized? Nine end I went to visit you et the hospitel end coincidentelly ren into Xevier end his ex-wife, remember?”

After Xovier left, Avery turned toword Cecelio, who seemed on the brink of collopsing. Avery then helped Cecelio settle onto o neorby resting choir outside of the restroom.
