As loathing seeped out of Avery's eyes, she could not hold her voice back.Mike and the two children simultaneously turned to look in their direction.Elliot immediately pulled Avery toward her bedroom."What happened? Why are they fighting again?" Mike mumbled under his breath as he pulled out his phone and texted Chad.Chad: [Watch the kids. Don't care about anything else.]Mike: [No wonder you didn't want to come over tonight. Did your boss decide to let Chelsea Tierney go?"]Chad: [Watch your mouth. He has his reasons no matter what he decides to do.]Mike: [D*mn it! I shouldn't have shown you the evidence!]Chad: [Chelsea isn't in the country right now. How do you expect us to find her? Find her yourself since you're so amazing.]Mike: [I see. If that's the case, then Avery won't be mad.]In the bedroom on the first floor, Elliot shut the door, then gazed deeply at Avery and said, "Have you met someone with a mental illness, Avery?"His words made Avery's brows furrow t
Avery could still raise the children without Elliot. Without him, her life and career would go on without a hitch."If it weren't for you, Chelsea wouldn't have incessantly come after me, and Tammy wouldn't have gotten hurt because of it! I wouldn't have given birth prematurely either! What else have you given me but pain, Elliot Foster?!" The emotions buried in the recesses of her heart exploded to the surface. Avery's criticism left Elliot with nowhere to hide from his shame."Avery—""Don't say my name!" she cut him off. "Get out of my house right now! Don't meddle in my business ever again! As for the baby… We'll talk about it when he's out of the hospital!"Elliot's hands tightened into fists as he watched her being on the verge of breaking down. Reason told him that he had to leave immediately! If he continued to stay, it would only further aggravate her.He had already made his decision, and he would not change his mind.At least Avery merely despised him now, instea
After calling Avery, the doctor also gave Elliot a call.The two of them arrived at the hospital at the same time.At the neonatal unit, the doctor explained the baby's situation to them."He is not responding to treatment, and he is starting to sleep longer, and his breathing has grown weaker… These are not the typical symptoms of babies who are born prematurely." As the doctor spoke, he passed the baby's chart to them.Avery took the chart and carefully read through it."There's something wrong with the baby's immune system." The doctor's expression turned grave as he said, "He's also severely anemic. I think the most important thing he needs right now is a blood transfusion. I've spoken to the blood bank here, and they don't have the right blood type available. Your child has a rare blood type."Elliot's heart fell to the pit of his stomach as he listened to the doctor's words."He has a rare blood type?""That's right. We need to find a suitable blood type as soon as poss
Inspiration struck Wesley when he heard Shea's voice.If memory served him right, Shea's blood type was RH negative…When Avery operated on her two years ago, Wesley was the one who was in charge of her pre-op checkup-up.As he gazed at Shea's face, his chest began to rise and fall rapidly."Why are you looking at me, Wesley?" Shea asked in confusion as she blinked. "Say something! What exactly is going on?"Wesley wanted to speak, but the words were stuck in his throat. They did not come to his lips.If Shea was a regular person, he would definitely tell her about the situation without reservations.That was because he knew that she would certainly be willing to help Robert with the blood transfusion.However, Shea was not a normal person.Her body had gone through many major surgeries, and she was only able to maintain her current lifestyle with the help of meticulous care and nursing.Wesley did not want to take the risk of Shea suffering from the transfusion. Robert was
At the hospital, the result had come out that Elliot's blood was not a match for Robert.Thanks to his connections, the search for RH negative blood types expanded to all major hospitals, which then released requests to the public for RH negative blood donors.When Mike rushed to the hospital and saw Elliot, he asked, "What happened? What's wrong with Robert? Why does he suddenly need a blood transfusion?"The doctor, who was standing on the side, replied to his question, "It's typical for premature babies to have a series of complications from the premature birth—""So, this is all because of the premature birth!" Mike gritted his teeth. "Avery wouldn't have had to give birth prematurely if it weren't for Chelsea Tierney! D*mn her!"The doctor did not understand what he was cursing about and continued to explain things from a medical point of view, "Robert's symptoms aren't quite the same as other premature babies. There's a possibility that he might still have this disease even
Elliot had been waiting at the neonatal unit, but no one knew where he went to after the row he had with Mike. Chad dragged Mike by the collar and led him toward the exit."Are you f*cking insane?! Mr. Foster is worried enough about Robert as it is. Why did you have to bring up that crap with Chelsea?!" Chad had spent all morning contacting blood banks all over the country and only now managed to find time to drop by."Avery wouldn't have given birth prematurely if it weren't for Chelsea Tierney! If he weren't born prematurely, then Robert would probably be completely fine!" Mike was still furious, and his pale skin was flushed with rage. "Mr. Foster didn't plan on letting Chelsea go. It was that phone call with her brother that made him change his mind," Chad said through gritted teeth. "I suspect Charlie has something on Mr. Foster. Otherwise, he wouldn't have changed his mind!""Charlie Tierney said his sister has a mental illness. That's why your boss went soft!""That's im
At the same time, Elliot was out in the cool breeze on the hospital's veranda.It took Chad forever to finally locate him.He felt awful as he watched Elliot's lonely silhouette in the night."What are you doing here by yourself, Sir?" Chad said after composing himself. "It's time for dinner.""I can't eat," Elliot responded. His voice was cold and hoarse.Robert needed a blood change, but due to his peculiar blood type, they had yet to find a suitable source of blood.This was only the first of his woes.The second was that he knew there was a possibility that Shea's blood type could be a match for Robert.However, he could not reveal this matter.He could not allow Shea to donate blood to Robert.It took him 20 years to turn Shea's life from that of someone with a mental disability to one where she could gradually begin to care for herself like a regular person.All he hopes for was for Shea to maintain her current condition and continue to live her life normally.How cou
Avery left the hospital in her car.Her tears began to blur her line of vision without warning. She finally could no longer hold back and burst into gut-wrenching sobs.Before she allowed herself to cry, she brought the car to a halt by the street.If she had known that a premature birth would lead to such severe consequences for Robert, she would have controlled her emotions and avoided all of this pain.Seeing how Robert had to endure such torture at a young age was agonizing for Avery.She was willing to give up everything to take the suffering in her child's place!…In a certain mansion, Wanda was holding a glass of wine in her hand. The red liquid swished in the glass along with the movement of her wrist.She was holding her phone in her other hand and talking on the phone."You won, Chelsea." Her tone was especially pleasant. "Avery Tate's son is about to die. He probably could have been born healthy if it weren't for the premature birth."Chelsea had already found out
