Chapter 696
The only reply she received was silence.The person who kidnapped Tammy seemed to want nothing from Avery. If they wanted something, they would not have kept silent.Avery looked at the excited and restless men in the video. They were like a pack of wolves rushing toward Tammy. Avery's head felt numb. Her blood was boiling. Her body trembled uncontrollably.A sense of desperation, verging on despair, overwhelmed her. It was as if someone was stabbing her over and over again with a blunt knife.Mike heard her hysterical shrieks and quickly ran into her room. He saw Avery bent forward, holding onto the door of the bathroom."Avery! Are you alright?" Mike ran over to help her. Seeing how blue her face was, a feeling of dread instantly arose in him. "Are you going into labor? I'll send you to the hospital."Mike wanted to lift her up, but Avery's body tensed at the contact. She spat a few words out with difficulty: "Call an ambulance…""Avery, don't frighten me! Stand there, don't m

"They went to bed, but Hayden is not asleep yet," Chad said. "I was afraid that I would disturb him, so I didn't talk to him.""Oh, Hayden is quite mature. He understands a lot. He surely won't be able to sleep." Mike was standing outside the emergency room at that moment. His mind was a mess. "Avery's mood has affected the child. She might go into labor tonight.""Wouldn't that be a premature delivery?" Chad furrowed his brows. "Will the child be alright?""I'm not worried about that. I'm only worried about Avery. You didn't see how terrible she looked, and yet all she was worried about was Tammy…" Mike was pacing back and forth in the corridor. "Give Ben a call. See how he is getting on with Chelsea."If Tammy could not be rescued, even if Avery gave birth to a healthy child, she would be able to think about anything else but Tammy. "I'm guessing nothing has happened." Chad knew Chelsea well. "If Chelsea is the one who's done this unless we place the evidence in front of her, s

"You guessed right. As long as there is no evidence, she will never admit to it," Mike said dryly."After all, nothing good can come out of admitting to it." Chad looked at the time. "Why don't you go and rest a bit?""Do you think I can fall asleep?" Mike glanced at the ward. "Once she is up, if Tammy is still not found, she will definitely lose it. The doctor has said that she can't be too agitated right now. If not, she will go into premature labor. She has already bled.""Bled?" Chad was stunned."Yes, bled. The doctor said that this is a sign of premature labor." Mike crossed his hands on his waist. "When is Elliot coming back?""He'll reach by seven tomorrow morning," Chad said. "I hope Avery sleeps until then.""So what if she sleeps until the next morning? The main point is Tammy is missing. What if the people who kidnapped her had done something to her? The consequences are unimaginable. Think of Zoe. Then think of Nora. They were Chelsea's doing." Mike gritted his teeth
Chapter 699
Mike had long guessed that Avery would ask this question once she was up.They might need to sedate her again, otherwise, she would not get the rest she needed. "I haven't heard any news yet, but don't worry. The police are searching for her. She will definitely be found by the morning." Mike assured her.When Avery heard that they had not gotten any news on Tammy, she staggered. She was swaying soullessly from side to side. "Avery, go to bed and lie down. What happens if you go into premature labor?" Mike lifted her up and placed her in bed. "Your child is only eight months old. If you were to give birth to it now, although it might survive, it still has to be placed in an incubator. You're a doctor. You should know that premature children get sick easily. Do you want to see your child suffer?"Mike's words caused her body to stiffen. She wanted to go look for Tammy, but she had to care for the child in her womb too. She tried to control her emotions, but no matter how hard she

"Go get the doctor!" Elliot barked and carried Avery into her ward. He carefully placed her on the bed.Avery's pants were wet. Elliot looked at his palms... Thankfully it was not blood!"Is the amniotic fluid leaking?" Avery sobbed terribly. "Elliot, I'm sorry. I'm very sad. I can't control myself…"If her amniotic fluid had leaked, the baby had to be delivered immediately. Avery's baby in her belly was only eight months old. That would mean Avery would go into premature labor and premature labor came with a series of complications.She knew that she should not be too upset in her later stage of pregnancy. She should have managed her emotions better to ensure the child's health, but she could not control herself."Don't cry. The amniotic fluid leaking is not something too serious. You'll just have to give birth to the child. It's nothing bad." Elliot wiped her tears with some tissues. "Tammy has been located. She's not in danger. Once you're done with this, I'll take you to see h
Chapter 701
Avery's seemed much more stable than before.Although she still missed Tammy, her outlook of the world had changed with the birth of the baby. The child in her had been doing well, but the accident had hastened the birth.When the nurse showed her the baby, she wanted to cry, but she could not cry. She had run dry of tears.Avery blamed herself as she looked at the small baby. When Hayden and Layla were born, they were premature too. It was normal for twins to be born prematurely. The pregnancy term was shorter than usual. Robert was even smaller than Layla and Hayden.Although she knew that he would survive, she was still upset."Avery, does it hurt?" Elliot saw her in a daze, so he broke the silence.Avery shook her head gently. She had been injected with anesthesia before the surgery. The effects had not worn off yet, so she did not feel pain."Have you seen the baby?" Avery's eyes fluttered. Her voice was very soft."I saw him. He looks like me." Elliot gently held her

Chelsea's body turned cold. "Pray for luck?" she thought. "They will never be able to find evidence to tie me to the crime! As long Nora is there to take the fall, they will never get me."Even if they all thought that she was the one who did it, as long as they did not have any proof, they could not do anything to her."Elliot had never been in love with her. When had all of that changed?" thought Chelsea.Chelsea was at the hospital. She was visiting Tammy, and she had a bouquet of lilies in her arms. Visiting Tammy was secondary to finding out how Avery was faring, and she was also here to clear her name and pin the blame on Nora.She had initially wanted to tell Elliot about it in private, but she lacked courage. She had indeed called Ben so that Ben would pass the word on to Elliot.However, Ben had completely lost his trust in her, so she had no choice but to go and visit Tammy. Jun stopped Chelsea outside the ward."How dare you come here?!" Jun threw the bouquet of lili
Chapter 703
Tammy knew that as long as she was awake, she would forever think about what had happened to her.Her last shred of sanity told her that it was not her fault. She was aware that she could not take her own life. She knew that if she did, there would be no one to care for her parents. She was a princess. She had been born with a silver spoon in her hand, and she had never been hurt in her life. She had never been hurt not because she had been fortunate, but she had never been hurt because her parents had built a stone castle to keep her safe.Her parents would grow old one day. She had to survive to take care of them. This was her only motivation for surviving at that moment."Tammy, what are you saying? Divorce? I won't do it! I won't divorce you!" Jun was an agitated mess. His voice grew harsh. "I know you're very upset right now, but I will be with you—""I don't want you to be with me! I feel like puking at the sight of men right now! Leave! I want my mother to be with me! Leave!
