Elliot gazed out the door, but Avery had already driven away. "Um… Sorry! I thought you made her cry!" Mike dragged him to the elevator by the arm. "Let me get you a drink. She told us to leave her alone, so it's better that you stay away from her for now."Elliot scowled. "You really don't know what's wrong with her?""Not a clue! She was fine when she showed up to work this morning. Why else would I think that you pissed her off?"Elliot followed Mike into the elevator."Do you know how she managed to get three hundred million, then?" Elliot asked. "She paid me three hundred million today, and according to what I know, both companies combined can't rake in that much cash." "You came looking for her to ask her about this?""Yeah.""I don't know!" Mike was not going to tell him the truth. "She even keeps things from me now, since I'm rather close to Chad. She thinks I've shifted loyalties." Elliot's eagle-like eyes locked onto Mike's face.Feeling uncomfortable, Mike force

"Miss Tate, are you here on your own?" the doctor asked. "You will remain under observation for two hours. You should contact someone and ask them to come here." If Laura was still alive, Avery would definitely have asked her to be here.In the end, she accessed her contacts and called Tammy. When Tammy heard that Avery was in a hospital, she hurried over after finding out which hospital Avery was in and which department she was at. Tammy sent her home two hours later. She did not bother Avery as Avery appeared to be depressed.As she drove out of Starry River Villa, Tammy became increasingly frustrated.Though Avery did not tell her what had happened, she had guessed that the baby was not doing well.'It's not like the baby belongs to Avery alone, why does Avery have to suffer while Elliot carries on like nothing's wrong?' she thought.She found Elliot's number and called him, but no one answered. The line was automatically dropped, and so, she called Chad.Chad picked up

"He is too busy today to pick up the phone.""Alright!" The staff member compromised and said, "Wait here, Miss. I will get the person in charge."Two minutes later, the staff came back with Chelsea.Chelsea was surprised to see Tammy and asked, "Why are you looking for Elliot? He's busy.""It's an ordinary event, are you telling me that it can't go on without him?" Tammy asked sarcastically. "Does he not have time to take a sip of water or use the bathroom?"Chelsea did not waver despite Tammy's assertiveness. "What exactly is it that you need, Tammy? Considering the fact that your husband is friends with Elliot, I will pass your message to him." "I don't need you to pass my message! Let me in. I will leave after I have a few words with him!" demanded Tammy in frustration."I would let you in if this is an ordinary event, but there are a lot of important people here today, and I can't just let you in. If you don't want to leave a message, fine. I am busy too, and I don't have

Tammy covered her swollen cheek in shock. To her surprise, she heard Elliot saying, "Scram!"Tammy had been treated like a princess for over twenty years. No one had even come close to laying a hand on her or telling her to 'scram'.Though hot-tempered, she was not a strong-willed person.With a hand on her face, she ran off in tears.Elliot clenched his fists as he watched her run away. He could already imagine how angry Avery would be when Tammy told her about this, but what had happened could not be changed, and he would have taught Tammy a lesson even if he had to do it all over again.Tammy had no idea when to stop, and not only were her words inappropriate, but she had been too presumptuous as well. Though Chelsea was merely his PR manager, she was also a daughter of the Tierney Family. Regardless of Tammy's reasons, Tammy should not have slapped Chelsea in public.…Tammy ran out of the hotel in tears. Once she got into her car, she drove onto the highway and called Jun

Elliot remained silent for a while before asking, "Did she tell Avery about this?""No. She probably won't tell Avery… for now at least.""Why?" Elliot was curious as to why Tammy had come looking for him.Jun hesitantly told him the truth, "Tammy came looking for you to tell you that there's probably something wrong with Avery's baby. She was in the hospital with Avery earlier today."Elliot swallowed hard and the light in his eyes faded."Maybe that affected Tammy in some way too, and that was why she was so desperate to find you," said Jun. He explained Tammy's earlier behavior. "Tammy isn't a bad person.""I know," Elliot responded in a hoarse voice before hanging up.'There's something wrong with our baby,' thought Elliot. 'So, there is something wrong with the baby, but Avery hasn't said anything to me. Does she plan on keeping everything to herself? Would I have not heard a thing if Tammy hadn't come?'Feeling as though he was being stabbed in the heart, Elliot dragged h

"I have the right to know!" His eyes turned red, "Even if you won't admit it, you can't change the fact that I'm the father!" "You know now, don't you?" she responded casually."I do know now, but I didn't hear it from you! Show me the medical report!" he demanded."There's no medical report." His grip was beginning to hurt her wrist, and she reached down to pull his hand off hers. "Let go of me!""Why isn't there a medical report?!" He loosened the grip, but instead of letting go completely, he moved his palm just just above her wrist and maintained his grip on her.Unable to lie while being confronted by Elliot, she said, "I did the test in Bridgedale so they only sent me an email.""Show me the email!" he commanded, fully intending to persist until he had seen the email for himself.Just then, Mike and the children walked out of the dining room and spotted Elliot."What is he doing here?" Layla murmured."Your mom cried this morning, but I don't know why…" Mike said.Hayd

"You are telling me that you earned three hundred million within weeks? Why don't you explain to me how you manage to earn that much?" He could not believe her, and he advanced on her. She retreated. They continued till Avery's legs knocked against the bed."Why do you care how I got it? You have a say when it comes to the baby, but you have no right to control me!" She shoved him in the chest."Monitoring you is the same thing as monitoring the baby!" He stood still and his eyes grew dark. "As long as the baby is still inside you, I have the right to control you!"Avery thought him to be ridiculous, but she did not know what to say in refutation. So, she responded with a half-truth, "The payment is for a surgery I had performed."The three hundred million dollars came from Elliot. It was the amount he had paid Zoe when she had "treated" Shea. All Avery did was take back what was hers. She did not feel bad about it. "Who?" He could not quite believe her explanation. "Who gave you

She stared at the pained and frustrated expression on his face and for a moment, she could not say a word.Elliot had come to the conclusion that Avery and Eric were in a relationship. If Avery had been him, she would have misunderstood as well. After all, under what circumstances would a woman accept a card from a man? A woman would only do so if the two were extremely close and had nothing to hide from one another. She never even accepted his card during their sweetest moments together as a couple.Thoughts came to a screeching stop when she saw his tears.Feeling as though she was being strangled, she found it difficult to breathe. She frantically tried to explain herself. "Elliot… He just asked me to keep the card safe for him… I didn't spend his money…""Really?" Elliot tightened his fingers around the card. "If that's the case, I will return this to him on your behalf."With that, he picked the clothes rack off the ground and walked to open the door.The faces of Mike and
