Chapter 1659
What was going on at Ruby's?"She's not picking up your calls either. I think something fishy is going on." Ben furrowed his brows. A bad feeling rose in his heart. "Let's wait! We'll soon have news from Nick."Ten minutes later, Nick called."Elliot, the man I sent to check on Ruby said that her gate was shut. They did not find anything strange." Nick yawned. "Do you know what time is it over here? Why are you calling at this hour? Everyone is asleep!"Elliot said, "Nick, an hour ago, Ruby called, asking for help. I heard the recording of the conversation. I heard a gunshot."Nick was instantly serious. "But the man I sent there has returned. He said that he didn't find anything strange. You know as well that the Goulds have bodyguards. My bodyguards won't even dare to disturb them unless I head over there myself.""Then, please, head over there!" Elliot said. "I am sure I heard a gunshot.""Tomorrow morning! I'm out now. I drank too much while socializing tonight. My head hurt

Tammy laughed uncontrollably."Avery, I feel much happier talking to you.""If you're bored next time, just come over. I can't go shopping with you, but I can kill time with you." Avery took out a bag of fruits from the side and placed them on the coffee table. "What do you want to eat? I'll peel it for you.""My blood sugar level is quite high. My mom doesn't let me have any fruits." Tammy was confused. "Avery, tell me. I'm not that fat, right? Why do I have so many conditions after I got pregnant? Not only is my blood sugar level high, but my blood pressure is also high. Not only that, but the baby in me was also on the smaller side during the early stages of my pregnancy, but now, she's on the bigger side. A few days ago, when I went for a checkup, her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. I don't think I'll go into labor when the time comes."Avery said, "All these are small issues. Even if you don't go into labor, it won't matter. Haven't you already decided to do a Cesa
Chapter 1661
Avery drove away from the Lynch mansion. Her mind suddenly thought back to the piece of news she had learned in the lab that noon.A middle-aged woman had bumped into a young girl on the streets. She had felt that the young girl looked similar to her, so she had approached her. Turns out, the girl was her biological daughter!The news had not specified why mother and daughter had split up in the first place. It only stated that the middle-aged woman had not known that she had a daughter living somewhere else.The moment she saw that piece of news, Avery's mind involuntarily thought about Ivy! Although the idea was crazy and absurd, the moment she had seen Ivy's photo a few days ago, Avery had had the inkling that Ivy was her child.Avery's mind was a mess.Could Ivy be her child? If Ivy was her child, her misunderstanding with Elliot would be automatically cleared.However, could that be possible? Avery did not have confidence in the idea, yet, from the moment it had appeared i
Chapter 1662
Seeing Mike's reply, Avery calmed down a little.Since she already had her suspicions, she should find a way to confirm them. Whether or not it was as she thought it was, at least, after confirming it, she would no longer think about it.However, she needed to look after Shea's child at the moment. She could not go to Ylore.She had to wait until Shea's child had a smooth birth, then only could she make plans.Perhaps, she had been thinking too deeply into this matter; her head hurt a lot.She walked over to the bed. She planned to sleep for a while to see if she could relieve the pain.At Sterling Group, after Ben received the call from Ruby asking for help, he called her back almost immediately. The call connected, but no one picked up.Under normal circumstances, if one saw an incoming call, one would either pick up or reject the call.If they truly did not want to answer the call, they could block the number. That way, the other party would not be able to call back.Howeve
Chapter 1663
Elliot put the call on loudspeaker. He answered the call.Nick's voice instantly rang out, "Elliot! Something terrible has happened! The Goulds have been destroyed!"Although there was only Ruby left in the Gould family, the perpetrator had also killed all of the Goulds' servants.When Elliot heard what Nick had said, his heart turned cold. An icy aura overflowed from him.Ben yelled out in anger, "Who did it?! Who the f*ck did it? Ivy was an infant! Did they not even let a newborn child go? F*ck!"Nick said with pity and confusion, "For now, I don't know who did it. I asked Edward. He said he knew nothing about it. After Gary died, he went abroad to develop a new project. He is not in the country most of the time, so this must have been done by someone else."Elliot and Ben were so stunned by this sudden bad news that they were in a daze. If it was not Edward, who had done it? Could it have been Mike? How could Mike do such a cruel thing?"Ivy… I haven't seen her for now. I'm a

Avery barely gave it any thought. While she could still roughly make out figures, she immediately looked for her phone. She found her phone under the pillow and turned it on. Her screen was right in front of her, but the pictures and words were blurry!She fumbled her way to her contacts. She had many contacts. She could not locate Elliot's contact!The fear of powerlessness overwhelmed her. Two streaks of tears streamed down her face. Was she going blind?Had her previous sickness not recovered but worsened?She cried for a while before reaching out to wipe her tears. When she opened her eyes once more, her sight was slightly clearer than before. She placed her phone closer to her. She could roughly see the words on the screen. She took the opportunity to locate Elliot's number and rang him up.At the same time, Elliot and Ben reached the airport. They were about to fly to Ylore.When his phone rang, Elliot saw Avery's contact. He swallowed.If she had not called him, he ha
Chapter 1665
"Avery, I'm sorry that I went back on my word, but I need to go to Ylore right now." Elliot told her his decision and his reason, "Ruby is dead. Our child is gone. I need to go and have a look."It was a huge blow to Avery! She had not expected him to give her such an answer. She had told him that she was going blind, and he just told her that he was sorry and that he needed to go look for Ruby and his child. This was the first time he had referred to the child as their child. He had officially acknowledged that Ivy was his child with Ruby.Avery found the entire thing to be extremely ironic. She had suspected that the child could be hers before her eyes had begun to fail her. She had wanted to wait for Shea's child to be born before she headed to Ylore and conduct a DNA test on the child.How comical! How absurd! Although Ivy looked a lot like Layla, she was still the child that Elliot had conceived with Ruby! He said it himself!Her hand that was gripping her phone relaxed a
Chapter 1666
Ben was a little confused. "Since you had already told her that Ruby is dead, why is she still angry with you?"Elliot said, "Because I didn't say that Ivy is dead."Maybe, if he had told her that Ivy had passed away, she would not be as mad.At that thought, he remembered what Mike had told him. Mike had said that Ruby's and Ivy's existence humiliated Avery. She would always feel aggrieved. Only if Ruby and Ivy died, would the humiliation stop.Mike thought that way. Would Avery feel that way, too?This was also one of the reasons why he insisted on heading to Ylore even if he knew that Avery was angry.Ruby deserved to die, but Ivy was innocent. How could children be responsible for the sins of their parents?If he and Avery disagree on this issue, he would listen to his inner heart.It was six in the evening, and the sun was shining through the windows of Elizabeth Hospital. It was summer, and the days were longer.Wesley arrived at the lab. He looked at Avery sitting on th
