Chapter 348
Avery was so stunned to see what happened she was at a loss for words.She had merely shaken Zoe off, how could she have caused her to fall? Zoe was lying on the ground, clutching her tummy and wailing in pain. "My child… my child…"Zoe's screams attracted the attention of the nanny and bodyguards as well as Rosalie."Zoe! How did you fall!" Rosalie said with a furious expression. "Did Avery push you?"How could Zoe have fallen if not for Avery? She could not have accidentally fallen. The ground was flat and even, therefore she could not have tripped.Zoe cried terribly and gasped in pain. "Avery! You have already stolen Elliot's heart! You won't even let our child go? My child is innocent—"Avery shuddered in the face of Zoe's slander. She realized that that was a setup. However, Avery could not understand why Zoe had risked her child in doing so.Could she have done this because she knew that this is what would finally make Elliot hate her? What if something were to truly ha

On the other end of the line, Elliot's hand gripped his phone tighter.Half an hour later, he arrived at the hospital."Mr. Foster, I'm sorry. Your child couldn't be saved," said the doctor. "Miss Sanford passed out from sadness."Rosalie was choking on her tears as she stood by the side. She could not speak. Zoe's father, Richard, was carrying a black bag. His face was blue. In the bag he held was the dead fetus. "Elliot, it was fine that you were unable to honor my daughter, however, how could you allow someone to harm my grandchild?! How terrible could you be!" Richard barked.Elliot glanced at the black bag and said, "Give me the child."His feelings for the dead child were complicated, however, sadness was not one of them.However, the thought of Avery being responsible for the death of the child left him burning with rage. At the same time, a part of him was telling him to conduct a paternity test on the fetus. "Hehe! Why do you want the child? Can you bring it back t

Elliot was silent for a few seconds. He had never thought that she could be this arrogant. "Avery, this is a human life you're talking about!" he growled. "How could you be so coldblooded?""Is your son gone?" Avery took a deep breath. She felt that Zoe was a truly frightening woman. "Is Zoe secretly laughing right now? Trading her son to set me up, no wonder she is the woman who is still by your side!" Avery's words carried a double meaning. Not only did she mean that Zoe was vicious and ruthless, but also that he possessed the same nature as her. Elliot's expressions darkened. "She is bleeding out, and the doctors are trying to resuscitate her. If this is all part of her plan, then not only did she risk her child, but she also risked her own life. Do you think your guesses will always be right?" Avery's lips moved, but no words came out."Avery, this time, I will not go soft on you anymore!" Elliot said each word slowly before hanging up. Avery held onto her phone. Her fa

It was five in the evening at Starry River Kindergarten. This was the bodyguard's first day on the job. Once he picked up the children, he brought them home."Uncle Bodyguard, can Hayden and I play outside for a while?" Layla looked up at him. She was trying to see where the boundary lay. The bodyguard replied clearly, "Sure! I'll take you out to play after dinner." Layla replied, "Oh! What are we eating for dinner? Are we ordering in or are you making dinner for us? What time do you finish work?"The bodyguard said, "I get off work when your mom or uncle Mike gets home. If you'd like, I can cook you a meal." Layla muttered, "Then, do we have to go to the supermarket to get groceries? If you make meals for us, does my mom have to pay you double? But, if your cooking is bad, then does she not pay you double?" The bodyguard laughed. "Your mom pays me enough for me to cook ten meals a day for you two!"Then, the bodyguard brought the two children to the supermarket.At seven

'Give him one in return?'Avery thought she had misheard him. 'A child is not a product, how could she give him one in return?'Looking at the confusion on her face, he said calmly, "You will use your womb to give me one. I don't care if the child is dead or alive, just so long as it's mine!" Avery shuddered. She yelled hysterically, "Elliot! Have you gone nuts!"When she had been pregnant with his children, he had gotten his bodyguards to drag her to an abortion clinic! Had he forgotten about it?!Now, he was forcing her to bear him a child! What was he treating her as? A toy? Forcing her to get pregnant whenever he wanted, forcing her to have an abortion whenever he did not want a child?That was ridiculous!"Yes! I am nuts!" His eyes reddened with hatred. "Avery, you're the one who sent me spiraling into an abyss of madness! You and your lies! You kept driving me to the edge, and my patience has its limits!" Avery was so intimidated by how terrifying he was behaving that

Mike told his brilliant idea to Chad.Chad said, "Mr. Foster will not be threatened. Shea's nanny and bodyguard will always follow her. Taking her to Avery's house is just a change of living accommodations." Mike was baffled.Chad continued, "Mr. Foster will not harm Avery. I can guarantee you that."Mike said, "How are you going to guarantee that?" "If you don't believe me, fine! I'm at the hospital seeing Zoe now. She has not come around yet."Mike's anxiety lessened slightly. "What's going on with her now?""She has been unconscious since the blood transfusion." "Oh, Avery said that she did not push Zoe. What do you think Zoe is thinking?" Mike wondered. "Is the child in her not Elliot's?""Of course, you're siding with Avery. It's hard to say what the truth is," Chad said objectively.Mike chuckled. "I think the child in her is not Elliot's. If the child was Elliot's, she would have fought with all her might. She would not have fallen with a single push. You should get

Avery grabbed Elliot by his robe and looked at him coldly with reddened eyes. "Whether I decide to take contraceptives or not is my right! Don't push it! If you do, you'll get nothing!" Her shrill voice pierced through the dark. His sexy Adam's apple bobbed. "Give me my phone!" Avery looked at his long neck. If he was not going to comply, she was going to bite him!"Avery, you better heed my words." Elliot's eyes darkened. He said hoarsely, "If you dare to take any contraceptive pills, we'll sleep be sleeping together forever!"He then returned her phone. Once Avery was in possession of her phone, she immediately jumped off the bed. She picked her clothes up and quickly put them on.Before he left, she bolted the door! It was half-past two in the morning, and there were not many cars on the road. The night breeze took her exhaustion away. Avery turned on her phone. There were dozens of missed calls, and all of them were from Mike. She wanted to return his calls, but how wa

"It's fine." Elliot looked at her pale face. He felt a little pity for her. "Rest well. I'll visit you tomorrow.""Okay."Coming out of the hospital, Elliot asked the bodyguard, "Where did the dead baby go?""Zoe's father took the baby to the crematorium to be cremated."Elliot furrowed his brows. He had wanted a paternity test to be done, but that was impossible now.The bodyguard continued, "Mr. Sanford was extremely agitated. I wanted to help him, but he thought I wanted to take the child away from him. He began to fight meI wanted to help him on the way. He thought that I wanted to take the child away from him. He fought me."Elliot's eyes darkened. He got in the car.The next morning, the family doctor received a call and rushed to Elliot's mansion.Elliot had not slept the entire night. His eyes were red. He looked a little terrifying."Mr. Foster, I heard that Miss Sanford had a miscarriage," The doctor tried comforting him, "You and Miss Sanford are still young. There
