Chapter 471
It was nothing but a ludicrous fantasy!With reddened eyes, Elliot got up from the couch."Don't ever come here again," Avery said as she stared at him with cold eyes. "I'm sure you haven't forgotten what you did to my son. He will always remember what you did every time he looks at you." Elliot's Adam's apple bobbed in his throat."All you saw was that I attacked him, but did you ever ask him what he said to me?""No matter what he said to you, you could always use your words. Was there a need to get physical?" She was right.He was wrong!"That's exactly that kind of ruthless, savage person I am!" Elliot snapped."I don't need a self-introduction!" Avery said as she shot a glare at him. "I already know that!"The light extinguished from Elliot's eyes as hopelessness took over.He suppressed the desire to explain himself and maintain the little reason and self-respect he had left.He picked up the gift box from the coffee table, then left the house.Avery took a deep br

Ben took a seat and listened closely to Elliot's woes."It's true that you were forced into a relationship with Zoe, but that wasn't because of Avery. You did it for Shea," Ben said bluntly. "Avery is unaware of your relationship with Shea, so she is quite understandably upset."Elliot stared at him with his deep-set eyes. "What do you think my relationship with Shea is?"Ben chuckled lightly, then said, "Are you really asking me to guess?""I know you'd figure it out," Elliot said confidently. "You know me well.""Are you upset that Avery doesn't trust you enough?"Ben had a feeling that, if he was right, Elliot's relationship with Avery was about to worsen."Wouldn't that explain the problem?" Elliot retorted.Ben stroked his chin and said, "Not everybody is as calm and reasonable as you are. Besides, love is a completely different matter. Last year, you had been jealous of Mike, and you weren't as calm as you are right now."The light in Elliot's eyes dimmed, and his voice

The bodyguard felt like things were about to get out of control.He quickly sent their location to Mike along with a text message.[Miss Tate's going head to head with Wanda Tate! Get over here!]When Mike saw the location of the hotel, which the bodyguard had sent over, he fell into complete shock. Avery had thrown up this morning after barely having a bite or two of her breakfast. She could barely get out of bed.How did she find the energy to go after Wanda Tate?!Mike grabbed his keys and rushed out of the office.Back at the hotel, Avery casually walked onto the stage.She took the microphone from the host and turned to Wanda."I have a question for you, Madam Tate," she asked loudly. "Is your assistant's name Faye Johnson?"Wanda's eyes were cold as she said, "I don't think that question has anything to do with our talk today.""Aren't we discussing the advantages of marketing for the success of a business?" Avery said, then pulled out a few pieces of paper.Everythi

Realizing that he could no longer hide the truth from Elliot, Chad said, "Avery went to see Wanda Tate today and ended up falling down after Wanda's bodyguard pushed her."That morning, Chad had informed Elliot that Wanda's assistant was the one behind the viral news a few days ago.Elliot had planned to take some time to see Wanda over the matter.He did not expect Avery to be one step ahead of him.Chad heard Elliot's heavy breathing on the other side of the line and instantly became anxious."It was an accident, Sir. You can't blame Avery… She doesn't want anything to happen to the child, either… She's really down right now. Please don't get mad at her when you get here—"Elliot hung up.Ever since Chad had gotten together with Mike, he had become severely biased in favor of Avery.Elliot cared about the child, but that did not mean that he did not care for Avery's wellbeing.If it ever came down to having to choose between Avery and the child, he would always choose Avery.

"It was Elliot Foster?!" she thought frantically. At the hospital, Mike was keeping Avery company in the hospital room.Chad was standing outside the room waiting for Elliot.When Elliot arrived, Chad quickly clamped his emotions and said, "Sir, the doctor said that Avery needs to rest right now. She needs to stay in bed for at least a week. She's not supposed to go through any stressful emotions, so—""Are you holding me back?" Elliot snapped as he glared at Chad with cold eyes.Chad instantly surrendered and opened the door to the hospital room for him.Once Elliot entered the room, Chad shot Mike a look, telling him to leave. Mike ignored him, puffed up his chest, and said, "The baby's gone."A strange emotion flashed across Elliot's eyes."Leave us. I want to talk to Avery," he said hoarsely.Avery was in a daze, but she turned to him after hearing his words.Chad stormed in and dragged Mike out of the room.Only Elliot and Avery were left in the room.Elliot sat dow

Avery's heart ached at the sight of Elliot's rigid back."Whether or not this baby makes it, I hope you can stay calm. The risk of a miscarriage is there with every pregnancy, and not every child is successfully carried to term."She told him this because she felt a bad feeling well up in her heart.She had been pessimistic ever since she found out she was pregnant.She had gotten pregnant while undergoing treatment. If it were not for luck being on her side, the child would not have made it under normal circumstances.Every time there was luck, there was also a possibility of loss. Avery's words hurt Elliot.He turned to face her and said, "Are you trying to make me feel better? Who exactly is the one who can't stay calm? Didn't you test me just now? Since you never wanted this child in the first place, then let's just act as if it's already dead."He turned and stormed out of the room.After Elliot left, Mike entered the room and asked, "Why did he leave so soon? What did y

Wanda was a prideful woman who despised Avery.Being on her knees in front of Avery must be pure agony for her!When the nurse entered the room moments later, she was shocked to see the two women kneeling in front of the bed."Take your lackey and get out of here!" Mike roared as he threw out the fruit basket they brought along with them.The hospital room returned to its initial peace once Wanda and Faye were gone.Once the nurse tended to Avery's IV drip, Mike held his phone and waved it in front of Avery."Chad said the two bodyguards that pushed you this morning have been dealt with," Mike said as he grinned cheekily. "I'm not Elliot Foster's biggest fan, but I'm satisfied with his work this time.""What do you mean by dealt with?"Mike covered his mouth and said, "Chad told me not to tell you… He's worried you'd be scared…"Avery remained silent."Why did you think Wanda would come and apologize to you? She's obviously terrified!" Mike teased. "I didn't expect you to use

Avery walked into the hospital and was about to go to the maternity unit when Mike caught hold of her and dragged her to get an ultrasound scan. Avery raised her brows and questioned him with her eyes."I think… You should get an ultrasound scan right away," Mike tried to speak nonchalantly but failed.In the end, he said, "Elliot's here. He's waiting for you at the ultrasound room."Avery shook off his grip, then snapped unhappily, "When did you start working for him?"Mike raised his hand and swore, "I'm not! Chad told me!""Chad works for him. What's the difference between Chad bribing you and Elliot bribing you?""Of course, it's different! Chad isn't like that dirtbag! He's not an unreasonable person!," Mike argued as he held Avery's arm. "Chad promised me he'd quit if that dirtbag ever picks on you again!""Still, you don't have to tell them everything!""I didn't tell them everything… I didn't tell them that your appetite's gotten better the past couple of days, or tha
