Avery grabbed Elliot by his robe and looked at him coldly with reddened eyes. “Whether I decide to take contraceptives or not is my right! Don’t push it! If you do, you’ll get nothing!”
Her shrill voice pierced through the dark.
His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed.
“Give me my phone!” Avery looked at his long neck. If he was not going to comply, she was going to bite him!
“Avery, you better heed my words.” Elliot’s eyes darkened. He said hoarsely, “If you dare to take any contraceptive pills, we’ll sleep be sleeping together forever!”
He then returned her phone. Once Avery was in possession of her phone, she immediately jumped off the bed. She picked her clothes up and quickly put them on.
Before he left, she bolted the door!
It was half-past two in the morning, and there were not many cars on the road. The night breeze took her exhaustion away.
Avery turned on her phone. There were dozens of missed calls, and all of them were from Mike. She wanted to return his calls, but how was she going to explain things when she returned home?
The incident that had taken place last night was too absurd. When she had thought about it, she felt rather the entire thing was rather surreal.
Elliot was in Zoe’s ward at three in the morning. When Zoe saw him, she began to cry.
Elliot took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears off her face.
“Zoe, stop crying.”
“Our child… is gone. I’m… So… sad. It’s all my fault. I… didn’t protect him well…” Zoe was sobbing hard. If she kept it up she might suffocate.
“You’ll still have children in the future,” Elliot comforted her. “You need to rest.”
Zoe looked at him with teary eyes. “But I can never have any more children! Elliot, our child died so horribly! He was almost a fully formed baby!”
“I know.”
“It’s Avery,”
“Why did you want to meet Avery?” Elliot interrupted her. “You got my mother to call her over. Was it necessary to get her to come to the house?”
Zoe’s tears fell harder. “I regret it, Elliot! I should not have been so reckless! You canceled our engagement the day before You said you loved her, and I lost it. I decided to take myself out of the picture, but I wanted to see her and settle things between us. I hoped that after you two got together, she would still accept our child. The child is innocent-“.
Elliot looked at Zoe’s aggrieved face. He asked, “So she pushed you?”
Zoe took a deep breath. “Maybe seeing our child provoked her? She probably still loves you, so she could not bear seeing our child. I never thought that she could do such evil —”
Elliot’s expressions darkened instantly. If what Zoe said was true, then Avery was indeed vile.
“Now, every time I close my eyes, I see our child covered in blood, crying terribly. He keeps calling to me, asking me to help him-”
“Zoe! Stop talking!” Elliot interrupted her. “The child is dead. You’re in pain now. It’s pointless.”
“Elliot, is our child going to just die for nothing?” Zoe sobbed and said softly.
“I’ll look for Avery! You just get better!”
“Okay, I’m relieved to hear that!” Zoe took a deep breath. “I’m sorry for calling you over so
late…”
