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

The baby was in an incubator in the intensive care unit, and he had a dedicated nurse looking after him.The intensive care unit was a sterile environment. Under normal circumstances, premature babies were not allowed visitors.However, Elliot's was special. Once he entered the neonatal unit, the nurse disinfected him, helped him into a sterile suit, and led him into the intensive care unit."Your son is stable, Mr. Foster. He just has some respiratory issues… It is normal for babies born prematurely to suffer from respiratory issues. You don't have to worry about it," explained the nurse.Elliot had already found out about the baby's condition from the doctor earlier that afternoon, so he was not too worried.He watched his son through the incubator.The baby was swaddled in a cotton wrap. He had an oxygen tube connected to his nose. His eyes were closed and he did not move a muscle; he was asleep. Elliot's eyes instantly filled with tears.The baby would not have to suffer i

"I got hit," said Chelsea as her sobs turned into loud wails. "I see. Was it Elliot?""Who else would dare lay a finger on me besides him?" Chelsea lifted her head up slightly. She refused to let her tears fall. "Are you going to call me stupid? If I hadn't returned to his side, I wouldn't be suffering this kind of humiliation today.""What's the point of regretting it? People would just look down on you if you do." Charlie checked the time, then said, "Go home now. If you don't feel like going home, then stay at a hotel. I'll book a flight home.""Charlie, I'm giving up," sighed Chelsea in defeated exhaustion. "He almost killed me tonight. I don't want to give him anything, not even a single tear… He is not worthy!" Charlie laughed, "How many times have you said that before? You won't give up till you he is in your hands." "It's for real this time… He's got a son now. He doesn't need me anymore.""Get some rest, Chelsea." Charlie sounded utterly calm. "I recently came across

Avery also noticed the rash on the baby's face, but she was not particularly shocked."Babies have delicate skin, so they get rashes easily." She imparted her experience to Elliot. "Hayden and Layla used to get rashes all the time before they turned one. Applying ointment usually does the trick."Elliot was relieved."Premature babies get little setbacks like this easier."There was self-blame in Avery's voice."It's fine as long as it's nothing serious." Elliot comforted her. "He was sound asleep when I went to see him last night. He might think he's still inside you!""He's sleeping well because of the lack of oxygen from the premature birth." Avery looked up at him with her wet eyes and said, "I won't let Chelsea Tierney get away with this, Elliot."Elliot said, "She pushed the blame onto her cousin. Nora's already fled the country.""How would Nora have the guts to do anything without Chelsea's help?!""I know, Avery." He held her hand and said, "I've already sent people

Avery took a sip of soup. It was delicious.Shea was the one who made it, and that meant more to Avery than how the soup tasted. Avery had been the one to operate on Shea, and she had never expected Shea to make such an extensive recovery. "The fish chowder is pretty good, Elliot. You should give it a try," Avery said.Elliot walked over to the table and poured himself a bowl of soup.He took a sip. The chowder was light and not oily. It indeed tasted good.His eyes landed on Shea.She had improved significantly since spending time with Wesley.Perhaps he should let her try out the things she wanted to do, including learning to drive.Meanwhile, at Starry River Villa, Mike had taken a few days off work.He could not get rid of Avery's pain from childbirth, but he could look after the house for her.During the day, while the kids were at school, he worked at home.Chad came over for lunch at noon."Let's go see Avery at the hospital after we eat!" he suggested."Sure. El

Chelsea suffered a huge blow.She could not accept this."Did I actually lose my head for a wackjob? I'll be the laughing stock of the world if this got out!" thought Chelsea.She would look crazier than a person suffering from a mental illness!"Even so, he's not the kind of nut case you find in mental hospitals!" Chelsea forcibly defended Elliot. "His illness didn't stop him from becoming the richest man! It also didn't stop him from having a child! So what if he's sick in the head?!"Charlie chuckled coldly at his sister's faraway look, then said, "Call me the next time he picks on you, Chelsea. It's not a crime when someone with a mental disability commits murder. Even if you end up dying by his hands, you had it coming!""You say such horrible things!""It's hard to accept the truth!" Charlie adjusted his collar, then said lightly, "Haven't you ever wondered why this mental illness of his is not public knowledge? If he didn't care, then why can't you find anything about thi

"That's between them, so I'm not too sure," Ben said. "If they do get married, I bet they'll host a grand wedding. You'll all find out about it then.""Avery Tate really hit the jackpot in life! She gave our boss a child, and it's a son, too!" someone said enviously."Exactly! I bet the boss will help her out if Tate Industries ever gets in trouble in the future."Ben said, "Your boss might be rich and handsome, but Avery isn't a powerless woman who would use her children to earn respect. Do you really think your boss would fall in love with an average woman? Stop watching too many soap operas.""Huh? Isn't the boss only with Avery Tate because she got pregnant?""What are you thinking?! How could a mere child tie him down? There are plenty of women in the world. If he only wanted a child, he could've picked any woman to have a child with."Ben's words enlightened everyone.Simply put, a woman who was able to stay by Elliot Foster's side was definitely not a gullible idiot.Eve
