Chapter 474
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

"The baby's fine, Mike," Avery said, embarrassed."Really?"Avery grabbed Mike's arm and walked toward the elevator."Let's head to the office!""Is the baby really okay?" Mike asked in disbelief. "Did the doctor say you can go back to work?""Yes, it's fine."The baby was safe and her condition improved, going to work should not be a problem.Chad stood next to Elliot and said, "Congratulations, Sir! The baby will be three months old soon. Once it's stable, a miscarriage is unlikely."Elliot's emotions were a mess.He had a nightmare last night that the baby was gone.It was a good thing that it was all nothing but a scare.When Avery arrived at Tate Industries, the vice president immediately came up to give her his report.The heads of each department regularly sent her emails on the company's various affairs.Although she was not in the office, she was up to date with everything that was happening in the company.While the vice president gave her his report, Avery pick

Elliot stood in silence for a moment, then called Chad on the office intercom and asked who sent the magazine over."One of the employees from Tate Industries delivered it. They sent a total of twenty copies to us. I've asked the secretary to distribute a copy to each department head.""Have you seen it?" Elliot asked with a frown."Not yet. I was going to buy myself a copy after work today.""You can take mine!"Moments later, Chad entered Elliot's office.When he saw the grim expression on his boss's face, he instantly had a feeling that there was something wrong with the magazine.He had only glanced at the magazine's cover.The photo of Avery was beautiful, so that could not be the problem.The issue must have something to do with the contents of the interview."Should I take the magazine, Sir?" Chad asked."Take it away!" Elliot snapped.His expression was icy, and his voice was even colder.Chad picked up the magazine from the desk and then walked out of the room.H

"Don't even think about beating her if you can't stop her from having the child!" Zoe said. She used her words to aggravate Wanda. "You can also forget about getting any investments from me after this!"Wanda's eyes lit up, and she said, "How much more money can you get from Elliot Foster?"Zoe lifted her chin, then said confidently, "At least another one hundred and fifty-five million dollars.""Don't worry!" Wanda said. "I won't let the child she's carrying see the light of day!"…When Avery returned home from work that evening, she noticed a car parked at the front gate."Is there a guest?" she wondered.She parked her car, opened the door, and got out.The two children and Shea walked out of the villa's front door together."Mommy!" Layla called out.Mike picked Layla up when she ran up to Avery."What's Shea doing here?" Mike asked.Shea approached them with a soft smile on her face."I'm going home, Avery!" she said, then left.Avery glanced at Layla and asked, "Wh
