Chapter 354
When His Eyes Opened
Avery grabbed Elliot by his robe and looked at him coldly with reddened eyes. âWhether I decide to take
contraceptives or not is my right! Donât push it! If you do, youâll get nothing!â
Her shrill voice pierced through the dark.
His sexy Adamâs apple bobbed.
âGive me my phone!â Avery looked at his long neck. If he was not going to comply, she was going to bite
him!
âAvery, you better heed my words.â Elliotâs eyes darkened. He said hoarsely, âIf you dare to take any
contraceptive pills, weâll sleep be sleeping together forever!â
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 Zoeâs 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.
âZoe, stop crying.â
âOur child⦠is gone. Iâm⦠So⦠sad. Itâs all my fault. I⦠didnât protect him wellâ¦â Zoe was sobbing hard.
If she kept it up she might suffocate.
âYouâll still have children in the future,â Elliot comforted her. âYou need to rest.â
Zoe looked at him with teary eyes. âBut I can never have any more children! Elliot, our child died so
horribly! He was almost a fully formed baby!â
âI know.â
âItâs Avery,â
âWhy did you want to meet Avery?â Elliot interrupted her. âYou got my mother to call her over. Was it
necessary to get her to come to the house?â
Zoeâs tears fell harder. âI 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-â.
Elliot looked at Zoeâs aggrieved face. He asked, âSo she pushed you?â
Zoe took a deep breath. âMaybe 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 ââ
Elliotâs expressions darkened instantly. If what Zoe said was true, then Avery was indeed vile.
âNow, 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-â
âZoe! Stop talking!â Elliot interrupted her. âThe child is dead. Youâre in pain now. Itâs pointless.â
âElliot, is our child going to just die for nothing?â Zoe sobbed and said softly.
âIâll look for Avery! You just get better!â
âOkay, Iâm relieved to hear that!â Zoe took a deep breath. âIâm sorry for calling you over so
lateâ¦â
