"Miss Tate, didn't you have a question to ask him? Go on!" The bodyguard noticed Avery being stunned. He immediately reminded her.Avery came to her senses."Don't disturb him. He just woke up. His mind isn't clear yet." Avery pushed the bodyguard outside. "Wait outside. Don't enter without my permission."After pushing the bodyguard out, she quickly returned to the side of the bed.Elliot had already shut his eyes!Avery rubbed her eyes, doubting herself, thinking she was hallucinating previously. However, the bodyguard noticed it too!She was not hallucinating. Elliot did indeed come around for a short time a moment ago. Just when she was hesitating whether to call him or not, he opened his eyes once more."Elliot!" Avery quickly said, "Elliot!"Elliot's eyes instantly focused and looked at her. "It's me, Avery!" Avery choked up and said, "Gary is dead. When you're discharged from the hospital, let's return to Aryadelle!"Elliot spent more than double the usual time unders
The nanny held onto Ruby and softly said, "Miss Ruby, don't get angry. You're pregnant!"Ruby took a deep breath and tried hard to collect her emotions. Her father was dead. Elliot no longer hid his lack of feelings for her. The nanny helped Ruby out of the ward."Miss Ruby, why do you have to do this to yourself?" The nanny said heartbrokenly, "If I could say something, don't punish Paul already. At least his heart is always thinking of you. Look at Elliot. He doesn't even care about you. How infuriating."Ruby choked up. "That's because he doesn't know the child in my stomach is his. If he were to know…his attitude would change. It would not be like this."The nanny saw how stubborn Ruby was being, she could only let her be. At the end, when her heart has been smashed into pieces on the ground, she would know who truly treats her right."Miss Ruby, you are barely three months pregnant. You need to stay calm. Let's return home!" The nanny said, "Elliot won't be able to leave th
Tammy truly had been trying hard to get pregnant."Please lend me your phone." Jun placed the bag down and borrowed the nanny's phone.The nanny immediately went to take her phone and passed it to Jun. He used the nanny's phone to call Tammy.A few seconds later, the call was picked up."Tammy, you better clear things up! How have I offended you? Why are you breaking up with me!" Jun initially wanted to talk calmly with her, but when the call connected, he lost his temper."Whose phone are you using to call me?""The nanny's phone! You're so childish! Do you still think that you're still a young girl like Lilith? Blocking and ghosting people whenever you want? You count yourself. How many times have you blocked my number after we have been together?! Tammy heard his screams. She wanted to laugh. "I'll block you if I want to. You can't do anything about it. Go and have children with another woman. Why are you calling me? Don't you find me a pain in the ass?"Jun was silent for
This was the longest sentence Elliot said after he woke up.Avery looked into his eyes. She was stunned for two seconds before explaining, "I used to believe you, but Ruby told me the child in her belongs to you, which is why I'm asking you again.""Did she really say so?""Hmm. Initially, she did not directly tell me. She told Layla." Avery rubbed the towel in the basin against each other before wringing it dry again and wiping Elliot down. "Layla was so furious she cried. She cared a lot about you." Elliot was instantly agitated."Elliot, don't get angry first. I have already explained it to Layla." Avery's palms cupped Elliot's face and gently touched it. "Back then, Ruby lied to me. She said that you have decided to cut ties with me which is why you didn't answer my phone calls. I suspected that there was a problem, so I called Nick to confirm. Sure enough, I found out that she was lying.""Since you know she was lying, why are you still asking me about the matter of the chi
"Elliot, I feel relieved that you are willing to tell me all this." Avery's brows relaxed. She made Elliot choose according to the worst-possible scenario. "If the child in Ruby's is yours, what are you going to do?""I didn't want the child in her. I can't bear the responsibility for her and the child." Elliot knew clearly what he wanted."This answer is more than enough. This is a painful lesson. In the future, no matter what happens, I will never hide things from you anymore. I will tell you at the first notice." Avery could not hide the guilt she felt in her tone. "Elliot, I love you. I know that you love me too. I always knew."Elliot responded. "I was wrong too.""You're not wrong. It was me." Avery looked at him and formally acknowledged her mistake. "If I were you, I might do something even more impulsive than you."Elliot did not want to continue such a heavy topic."Can I get out of bed?" He changed the topic."What are you thinking? You have broken a leg." Avery gentl
It was a call from Hayden. After he accidentally answered the call, Hayden's voice immediately came through, "Mommy, I heard that Elliot is awake."Elliot heard his son's voice. He was extremely moved. Hayden was concerned for him which was why he called to ask about his situation."Mommy, asked him who he chooses. If he can't part with his new wife, then dump him and quickly return home." Hayden thought that it was Avery on the other end of the line, which was why he said what was on his mind.Elliot's feeling stopped abruptly. Turns out, Hayden was not concerned about him. He was worried about Avery feeling aggrieved.That was good too. Hayden cared for his mother. It was much better than not having any conscience."Mommy, why are you not talking? Did he make you angry again?" Hayden asked in a glum tone.Elliot could not continue the silence. "It's me. Your mother went to shower."Hayden was instantly silent.Elliot said, "I have already answered Avery about your question."
[Avery: Did he say anything?][Lilith: Uh…he said nothing much. It was quite awkward. I guess he might think I'm a chatterbox!][Avery: He just came around today. He doesn't look that good. If he isn't hurt, he would surely talk to you.][Lilith: Oh, I thought he always did not like to talk much! Are you and him alright?][Avery: Yes, we have reconciled.]Lilith let out a sigh of relief. [That's good! I knew that you two would surely reconcile. You're such a good woman. If Elliot doesn't cherish you, he is an idiot!]Avery did not want to continue this topic, so she changed the subject and asked, [How are you? Did Ben look for you?][Lilith: The other day when I unblocked him, he called me. He said he wanted to see if I had unblocked him yet or not. He's childish. He doesn't seem like a man of his age.][Avery: Being old and dull is boring.]After sending that message, her eyelids were getting heavier. She placed her phone down and lay in bed. Soon after, she fell asleep.A w
On the other end of the line, a low man's voice came through, "You need her help even for such a trivial family matter? How did you manage to pursue Tammy in the first play?"When Jun heard Elliot's voice, he was so stunned he sweated profusely. "E-Elliot? A-Are you better?""Hmm. Don't bother Avery with such trivial matters. If you can't even coax Tammy properly, how are you going to be a good father in the future?"Jun was speechless from Elliot's lecturing."Elliot, you are right. When are you returning? When you are back, I'll take Tammy over to your house for a meal.""After I get discharged.""When are you getting discharged?""I don't know." Elliot at that moment only just had the right to get out of bed. He has never heard Avery talk about getting discharged.Also, although he could get down from the bed with the help of a walking stick, he could only move around in the ward.A series of footsteps could be heard from the door outside.A moment later, the door was open
