This was the longest sentence Elliot said after he woke up.Avery looked into his eyes. She was stunned for two seconds before explaining, "I used to believe you, but Ruby told me the child in her belongs to you, which is why I'm asking you again.""Did she really say so?""Hmm. Initially, she did not directly tell me. She told Layla." Avery rubbed the towel in the basin against each other before wringing it dry again and wiping Elliot down. "Layla was so furious she cried. She cared a lot about you." Elliot was instantly agitated."Elliot, don't get angry first. I have already explained it to Layla." Avery's palms cupped Elliot's face and gently touched it. "Back then, Ruby lied to me. She said that you have decided to cut ties with me which is why you didn't answer my phone calls. I suspected that there was a problem, so I called Nick to confirm. Sure enough, I found out that she was lying.""Since you know she was lying, why are you still asking me about the matter of the chi

It was a call from Hayden. After he accidentally answered the call, Hayden's voice immediately came through, "Mommy, I heard that Elliot is awake."Elliot heard his son's voice. He was extremely moved. Hayden was concerned for him which was why he called to ask about his situation."Mommy, asked him who he chooses. If he can't part with his new wife, then dump him and quickly return home." Hayden thought that it was Avery on the other end of the line, which was why he said what was on his mind.Elliot's feeling stopped abruptly. Turns out, Hayden was not concerned about him. He was worried about Avery feeling aggrieved.That was good too. Hayden cared for his mother. It was much better than not having any conscience."Mommy, why are you not talking? Did he make you angry again?" Hayden asked in a glum tone.Elliot could not continue the silence. "It's me. Your mother went to shower."Hayden was instantly silent.Elliot said, "I have already answered Avery about your question."

On the other end of the line, a low man's voice came through, "You need her help even for such a trivial family matter? How did you manage to pursue Tammy in the first play?"When Jun heard Elliot's voice, he was so stunned he sweated profusely. "E-Elliot? A-Are you better?""Hmm. Don't bother Avery with such trivial matters. If you can't even coax Tammy properly, how are you going to be a good father in the future?"Jun was speechless from Elliot's lecturing."Elliot, you are right. When are you returning? When you are back, I'll take Tammy over to your house for a meal.""After I get discharged.""When are you getting discharged?""I don't know." Elliot at that moment only just had the right to get out of bed. He has never heard Avery talk about getting discharged.Also, although he could get down from the bed with the help of a walking stick, he could only move around in the ward.A series of footsteps could be heard from the door outside.A moment later, the door was open

"Ruby says that she has something to say to you." Avery passed her phone to Elliot.She only passed the phone to Elliot because she wanted Ruby to completely give up.Elliot accepted the phone and put it on the loudspeaker. "What do you want to say?""Elliot, don't go! I beg you, don't go! Wait for the child to be a little bigger, then I'll go do a paternity test! The child in me is yours!" Ruby cried out loud, "How could you just abandon your own child? How could you be so cruel?"Avery, as a mother, could not help but feel a little for Ruby after hearing what she said. However, at the thought of how Ruby created the child only to take Elliot away, she could no longer pity Ruby or the child in her."Yes, I can't abandon my children, which is why I have to return to Aryadelle and do my part as a father." He went in with Ruby's logic and said calmly, "If you're disappointed in me, you can go have an abortion."On the other end of the line, Ruby was sobbing hard. She was in so mu

The thing that Shea said was exactly like what Avery thought. Shea said that she wanted to be with Wesley.When Elliot heard about it, he furrowed his brows tightly.Avery walked over to him. "Shea has the right to choose her own life. You can advise her, but it's best if you don't meddle.""Don't meddle in this." Elliot looked up at her sternly. "Just from your relationship with Wesley, it's best you don’t say anything."Avery knew he was still angry because he was hidden from this matter, so she changed the topic."Are you hungry? Mrs. Cooper has cooked your favorite soup." She opened the thermos on the table. A delicious aroma wafted. Her tummy grumbled.Elliot was thinking about Shea's matter. He did not hear what she said. Avery looked at Shea. "Shea, get Wesley to come to talk to your brother.""He will scold Elliot." Shea considered things from all angles. "Let him scold him for all he wants. After relieving his anger, won't he just agree for you to be together?" Av
