At that moment, the guest that Avery mentioned arrived.A black Buick multi-purpose vehicle pulled up at the entrance.The car doors opened, and two bodyguards stepped out of the car. Tammy watched the commotion outside."Who is he? Why did he bring so many people along?!"Avery got up from the sofa. When she walked pass Tammy, she answered, "Eric Santos."After a few months of rehabilitation, Eric could finally stand up. He, accompanied by his family, came to pay Avery a visit. He wanted to thank her in person. Eric was dressed in black and white sportswear with a cap on his head. His face was covered by a mask and sunglasses.At one glance, it was difficult for others to see his facial features. However, his statuesque figure and charisma made him stand out from the rest of the crowd. He looked stunning!"Avery, can I scream?!" Tammy's body trembled a little.Avery said, "It's best you not. I'm afraid that neighbors would call the police."Tammy suppressed the urge.Eric

At noon, Eric had lunch at Avery's before leaving."Avery, go and rest, and then go for your physical examination in the afternoon. I'll take the kids out for some fun. What do you think about that?" Tammy had noticed that the weather was rather pleasant. She did not want to stay home. "I'll bring the kids back home by six."Avery saw how much the children wanted to go out. Naturally, she did not disagree with Tammy's suggestion."Tammy, would it be troublesome for you?"Tammy said, "It's no trouble. They are not babies that I need to carry. I'm not tired at all if it's taking them out to play!" Avery got the bodyguard to follow them. After sending them off, Avery returned to the house and shut the main door.There was a white box on the coffee table in the living area. Eric had left it behind. It was his gift to her.He said that it was his lucky charm. It was not anything expensive. He only hoped that it would bring her luck.Avery could not bear to refuse him, as the gift w

Avery shook her head. "I want to go out.""Then, tell me if your leg hurts. Don't force it.""I know.""Avery, if I had known how many miserable things would happen to us when we came back to this country, I would not have allowed you to return." Mike helped her into the car. "When we were in Bridgedale, everything went smoothly. I never once worried about you. Who could have known that your return would bring me an endless amount of worry." Avery was apologetic. "Why don't you return to Bridgedale!""That's not what I meant!""I know that. I think that I can handle work here. You should go back to Bridgedale—""Come back with me.""I'm not going. I like my country better than I love Bridgedale." Mike snorted. "Then, I'm not going either. I'll be where you are.""You miss Chad, huh?""Why did you have to bring him up? He blocked my calls." Mike stepped on the gas. "That jerk! He only has his boss in his heart."Avery said, "I'm sorry!""Why are you apologizing to me? Eve

Avery was pregnant!According to the report, she had gotten pregnant the night Elliot had stabbed himself in the heart.It was ironic! They were already estranged, and here she was pregnant with his child. Avery had no words or emotions to express the shock she felt. It reminded her of the time she had been pregnant with Hayden and Layla. She was extremely heartbroken. Back then, Elliot was fighting for a divorce. Now, things were different. She was financially independent. She could raise the children herself. It did not matter if it was one, two, or three; she could raise them all. However, should she tell him about this matter? After all, back when Zoe had a miscarriage, he blamed it all on her, insisting that she give him a baby in return. Although they were no longer in contact, what if he tried to get in contact with her because she had not given him a child? Mike saw her panic through the corner of his eyes. He immediately closed the distance between them and glanced a

However, she had not felt anything at all till that moment.When she had been pregnant with Layla and Hayden, her early pregnancy symptoms were rather obvious.At that thought, a new problem cropped up.She had been depressed while she was pregnant with the child, and she had also been on a lot of antibiotics because of her injuries.Avery furrowed her brows. She was so heartbroken she could not breathe!Even if she carried the child to term, the chances of the child being born with complications were rather high. The taxi stopped right in front of the hospital entrance.Avery paid and got out of the taxi.She registered with the gynecology department.

When the guard saw Avery, he thought he must be hallucinating. She had had a terrible fight with Elliot! How dare she show up here?Previously, the guard would immediately let her in. Now, he did not open the gate for her. Using the internal phone line, the guard called the living room. Mrs. Cooper picked the phone up."Avery Tate is here. She's standing outside the gate," The guard said.Mrs. Cooper was stunned. "Oh, I'll go have a look." After hanging up, Mrs. Cooper strode outside to have a look.The skies, which had been clear, were now dark and cloudy. Mrs. Cooper did not let Avery in; she walked to the gate."Avery," Mrs. Cooper had a dark expression on her face. "Are you here to see Mr. Foster?" She knew that Avery was the one who had hurt Elliot, therefore she did not feel any pity for Avery. Elliot had almost lost his life this time. He would definitely not want to see Avery again.Avery nodded. "Is he home?""He is. After being discharged from the hospital, he ha

If Elliot did not see her or think of her, he could eat, sleep, and live like a normal person.However, the moment he thought of her, his body would begin to react to her. A moment later, a knock came on his door. Elliot entered his room from the balcony.He opened the room door. Mrs. Cooper was standing outside."Sir, Avery came by just now. She said she was looking for you. I asked her as to her intentions for seeing you, but she did not tell me," Mrs. Cooper said. "She left.""I saw." Elliot's expression was calm. His tone was cold."Oh, the next time she comes, should I invite her in?" Mrs. Cooper asked."No," he muttered after a while. …When Avery returned home, she was completely drenched."Mommy, why are you so wet? Did you not bring an umbrella?" Layla said, heartbroken.Mike pushed her upstairs. "Quickly, go take a shower. You might catch a cold."Avery headed upstairs."Uncle Mike, why did you let Mommy come back alone?" Layla looked at Mike reproachfully.Ha

Avery was still worried for the child in her womb. There was something that she had to do before the date of the examination came. She wanted to rectify the situation at hand. Not caring whether it was too late or not, she would do what she had to. It would at least give her some peace of mind. Avery put on a jacket and left with an umbrella.There was a pharmacy that was a three-minute walk away from the neighborhood. She bought a bottle of folic acid and placed it in her pocket. She was walking in the rain beneath the protection of the umbrella. Although the rain was heavy, she was not cold. It was spring. Spring was the time when all beings came to life. It was a season of hope. She hoped that the child in her womb was as healthy as Layla and Hayden. As long as the child was healthy, she would carry it to term. Elliot was no longer important. Walking without an umbrella under the rain that evening had helped her figure many things out.She and Elliot would never cross pa
