Although Jed had told her that, Ruby was still brimming with confidence. If this succeeded, she could make Elliot stay. As long as Elliot never found out who the child's biological mother was, that child would be hers!After Jed completed the check-in process, he did not immediately return to the hotel for Avery. If Avery ever discovered his plan, she would be livid.However, if he did not perform the procedure, the baby would die. When he had to choose between life and death, life was always the better option.Hayden's face kept appearing in his mind.

[I bumped into Ruby Gould at the hospital. She was troubled over trying to get pregnant because Elliot would not touch her or have a child with her. I knew that Elliot was still thinking about you, which was why he would not touch her.[At that moment, I finally understood why you had risked your life going to Ylore. You two are a match made in heaven, and no matter what, I will not tear you apart.[When writing this email, I still think that you two will be together in the end, because I believe in true love.[You can probably guess what I'm going to tell you next. I transferred the baby you were carrying into Ruby, and in exchange, she helped us get out of Ylore. [I'm writing this email as an admission of my mistakes, and I hope you will forgive me. You must know that the child that Ruby and Elliot share is your child. Yours and Elliot's. [If you want the child back, you should go to Ylore and look for the child! I do not know if the child is a boy or girl, but I'm sure that R

At the mansion, Elliot and Ruby were in the dining hall having dinner."Elliot, why did you leave so early this morning?" Ruby asked cautiously, breaking the silence."Your dad got me to accompany him to your sister-in-law's this morning," Elliot said calmly. He changed the topic. "Have you given any thought to last night's suggestion?""I have," Ruby said. "I won't force you to do it, but I can't sleep with your bodyguard. Elliot, I am your wife. Other than you, I will not sleep with other men."Elliot saw her stubbornness, and he instantly furrowed his brows. "What if I don't touch you for the rest of your life?""If that's the case… I won't tell my father," whispered Ruby. She seemed heartbroken. "I went to the hospital today. The doctor told me that I can try for a test tube baby."Elliot's eyes sparkled a little. "That works too, but don't let your father find out about it.""I know. I'll be careful." Hope sparked in Ruby when she heard the tenderness in his voice. "Will yo

Avery instantly forgot that she had called Mike to inform him about her surgery."Ah? You haven't heard about it? I thought someone in the office would have told you about it, and that you are calling me to settle the score with me," Mike said awkwardly."No wonder you haven't been calling me. Turns out, it's the company that is in trouble." Avery took a deep breath. "Is the company going bankrupt?""Yeah," Mike sighed. "I'm sorry, Avery. This time, it is really my fault. I think I told you about the time I had gotten dumped. Well, that man is looking for me. He did not approach me directly, but he stole our core technology for Wanda. Wanda did not even need to compensate him. He did that to gain my attention. That idiot!""Your ex?""Hmm. I forgot to tell you that he is also a hacker. His hacking skills are better than mine. It took me a few sleepless nights to find out that it was him!"Avery was baffled. She did not know what to say.Mike said, "I have already told him to f*c

"Avery, although Mr. Gould doesn't like you, if you could treat him, I will put in a good word for you!" Paul said roughly."Avery, are you really that amazing?" Ruby was skeptical. "If you can treat my father, I will put in a good word, too."Elliot turned around and took his phone out. He sent her a message.Avery was holding her phone in her hand, and she felt it vibrate. She looked at her phone and saw Elliot's message. The message was short. [Decline.]He wanted her to decline the request.She looked at her phone and said to Ruby, "I'll have to assess your father's condition before giving you an answer." The door to the emergency room opened.Elliot saw her striding into the emergency room. He clenched his hands into tight fists!"Clearly, she has read my message, but why is she not listening?!" he thought. "Did she forget the kind of man Gary is? Forget Gary, even Paul is cold and cruel!" If Avery were to treat Gary and fail, Paul would surely want her dead.Elliot wa

Avery could see that Elliot was not doing well."The inpatient unit is that way, let's go!" said Aaron, the bodyguard, breaking the silence. He had noticed that they had not moved.The three of them headed to the inpatient unit.When they reached the neurology department, Avery said to Elliot, "Get your bodyguard to pay the bill."Elliot immediately got his card out and handed it to the bodyguard. After the bodyguard left, Avery led Elliot into a doctor's office.There were two doctors in the office. They were rather surprised to see Avery and Elliot entering the room. Avery took Elliot into the office washroom and shut the door."Didn't I tell you to decline their request? Why did you not listen to me?" growled Elliot."Why should I refuse Gary treatment?" Avery had her own reasons for wanting to treat Gary. "Nick told me that once Gary is dead, you will no longer have to fulfill your promises to him." Elliot was stunned by her bold idea. "Are you going to take this as an o

Elliot handed Avery to a nurse before getting the nurse to send Avery back to her ward.Then, he went to contact the other neurologists."Mr. Foster, what happened to Miss Tate? What sickness does she have?" Aaron asked curiously."If you care so much for her, why didn't you ask her just now?" said Elliot."I don't care for her. I'm just asking," Aaron said casually. "Paul will be mad at you for letting her go.""Then, Paul can drag her back himself," Elliot said distractedly. "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"Aaron said, "He thinks you are. Although you are Gary's son-in-law, he is Gary's adopted son.""Then, why didn't Gary get Ruby to marry him?""Gary had thought of it, but then, you abandoned everything in Aryadelle and made your way here," said Aaron. Aaron was rather casual with Elliot when they were alone as Elliot did not have a huge ego. "I guess it's my fault," said Elliot, blaming himself. "He got me to see the primates in the zoo, and I was touched by the monkey'

Jed said, "Once her surgery is done, we can go."Since he sounded so sure, the bodyguard was a little excited. "Are you for real?""I'm guessing. My intuition is usually quite accurate.""Can you predict how much money I'm going to get as a bonus once we get back?" Jed was speechless. He patted his pocket. "Do you still have cigarettes? Let's go have one.""Didn't Miss Tate ask us to send Gary's men away? Let's smoke later! Didn't you say you don't like smoking?" The bodyguard took out a box of cigarettes and passed it to Jed. He took out another box and smelled the cigarettes."It's boring here. Smoking kills time.""You're right. Not only does it kill time, but it perks you up too! However, it damages the body.""I thought so too in the past, but later, I thought it through. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Maybe, we will die in an accident?" …After Gary's checkup, he was sent to the inpatient unit.When Paul saw that Avery was not there, he was furious. Although Aar
