Chapter 698
"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
Chapter 702
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!
Chapter 704
Everyone's gaze landed on Elliot. He took his phone out and saw who was calling."It's Chelsea," said Elliot as he looked at Avery. He took the call. On the other end of the line, Chelsea hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Elliot, I heard that Avery has given birth. I thought about it and felt that I should visit her. I'm at the entrance of the inpatient unit. Do you know which ward she is in?"Elliot strode away. Mike hissed, "How dare Chelsea call him. Don't tell me she wants to visit you?"Avery's expressions turned extremely cold. She did not want to see Chelsea; she only wanted her to die."Layla, Hayden, stay in the room. I'll go have a look." Mike's curiosity was piqued. Other than prying, Mike wanted to put pressure on Elliot.Chelsea and Elliot have known each other for more than ten years. They were exceptionally close. If it were not for their relationship, Chelsea would not dare be this brazen. Avery suffered premature labor. Thankfully, it was only prematur
Chapter 705
Although Chelsea deserved to die, it was still shocking to see how cruel Elliot could be. If the hospital guards had not stopped him, Mike knew that Elliot would surely have beaten Chelsea to death. This was the man that Avery loved deeply. This was why she could not fall in love with other men. If other men were as ferocious as Elliot, she would have stayed far away from them.The guards had taken Chelsea away, disappearing into the rain. Mike walked over to Elliot's back and tapped him on the shoulders. "Today is the birth of your son. You don't need to get so angry."If Chelsea had not come looking for him, he would not have lost his temper. If Chelsea were honest about what she had done, he would not have been so angry either. He was furious because Chelsea lied through her teeth and tried to convince him into believing her lies.Elliot hated being lied to the most. "How dare she lie to me!" he thought."Don't tell Avery about the incident just now." Elliot looked less host
