Natalie’s words made Beth even more speechless. She hadn't even completed her studies for a man, choosing instead to have a child with James. Now, she had no diploma and no special skills. The apartment she was renting was arranged by Baron, and the surgery costs were all advanced by him. Beth knew she owed them too much. She had been diligently searching for a job, but finding work was difficult for someone in her situation. If she wanted to earn more money, she couldn't take care of her son. If she wanted to take care of her son, she couldn't earn much money. Beth was truly tormented by her predicament. Unexpectedly, a single sentence from Natalie solved her problem. Her son loved drawing. If he saw design blueprints at the studio, perhaps he would immerse himself in drawing there, and she could clean up or do odd jobs for Ms. Stone. This would solve her immediate crisis. "Ms. Stone, thank you. Thank you so much." If Beth had helped Natalie before for the sake of her son, now she genuinely wanted to repay Natalie. Natalie shook her head casually, her gaze full of tenderness as she looked at the little boy. Baron, seeing her fondness for the child, pondered for a moment and said, "How about we change the child’s name to Avery? If my wife takes a liking to him, he might even become her star pupil. After all, there really hasn't been a child my wife has praised for their drawing before." Beth burst into tears of joy upon hearing Baron’s words. "Avery! That's a wonderful name! Thank you!" After saying that, Beth immediately knelt down before Natalie."Ms. Stone, please accept my son as your apprentice. I don’t need a salary. I can work for you without pay, as long as you give me and my son a roof over our heads and food to eat. I don't have many skills, but I know Ms. Stone is an accomplished person. If my son has the good fortune to follow Ms. Stone to learn drawing, it will be his blessing and his destiny. Please, Ms. Stone, take him in." With that, Beth began to kowtow forcefully to Natalie. Natalie hadn't expected Beth to do this and quickly tried to stop her. "What are you doing? Get up quickly." "Ms. Stone, if you don't agree, I won't get up. I know this is a kind of emotional blackmail, and it's shameless of me, but I truly have no other choice. I don't know who is behind James, but I know that person must be very powerful, and I can't protect my son with my own means. Before, he didn't have any outstanding qualities, and I felt too embarrassed to ask for your protection. Now that Ms. Stone sees talent in my son's drawing, please take him in." Beth laid out her reasons clearly. No one saw that Avery, who had been drawing, trembled involuntarily when he heard Beth mention the name James. Avery’s hand tightly gripped his crayon, drawing stroke after stroke on the paper, but his previous calm was gone. The light in his eyes was somewhat scattered, and the pressure on the paper increased constantly... Natalie felt very uncomfortable hearing Beth say this. As a mother herself, if she and her children ever reached this desperate state, would she also grasp at the only straw of hope in front of her so desperately? Baron saw Beth acting this way and, to be honest, was displeased. He brought Natalie here today because he knew Natalie had promised to help Beth get her son treated. Since the Stone family had been so busy these past few days, he was afraid Natalie was worrying, so he brought her for a visit. He didn’t expect to be emotionally cornered by Beth. Baron’s entire demeanor turned somewhat cold.Both Natalie and Beth naturally sensed it. Beth also knew that what she was doing was inappropriate, but she truly had no other option. Even if Baron beat her to death today, as long as Natalie took her son in, she would die with peace of mind. "Ms. Stone, please. I know I deserve to die a thousand deaths and that I'm repaying kindness with ingratitude, but I truly have no choice. Avery is the only family I have left." Baron felt a little annoyed when he heard Beth call Avery's name. When he named the child, he only thought the word had a nice meaning and didn't consider the pronunciation. Now hearing Beth call her son Avery , and even though the characters are different, it sounded awkward. Natalie also noticed the issue. She instinctively looked at Baron. Baron scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed. "Well, how about we change the child’s name again?" Beth was slightly taken aback, but she carefully pronounced her son's new name and realized it sounded a bit like Natalie's name. She suddenly felt a little awkward too.
