Chapter 552

Avery was taken aback!

If it were not for the injury on her arm, she would have jumped up from the bed.

“What husband? I’m not married! Nobody has the right to decide my child’s life or death!”

Because Avery was overly agitated, the doctor immediately apologized, “Miss Tate, I’m sorry. Mr.

Forster indeed did not say that he was your husband, he said that he was the child’s father.”

“Even if he is the child’s father, he doesn’t have the right to do so!” Avery lost it. Tears fell.

Elliot had been keeping watch over her for the entire night. That morning, Mrs. Scarlet took over so that

he could go back to rest.

Mrs. Scarlet should not have called him to disturb him, but she had no choice but to do so, looking at

Avery’s state at that moment. After Mrs. Scarlet made a call to Elliot, Mike pushed the door and

entered.

“Avery, you’re finally up!” Mike walked over to her bed and sat down. He took a piece of tissue and

wiped her tears. “Don’t cry. Elliot’s thoughts and mine are the same. Between you and the child, you

are more important. If this child is gone, you can have another one, but if you’re dead, there is nothing

else left anymore.”

Avery pushed Mike’s hands away and wiped her tears herself.

“I know that not only you’re feeling uncomfortable, but this must be a huge blow on you mentally too,

but this time, Elliot is right. He rushed over to rescue you. In between, he barely slept. It was until he

rescued you out and the doctors said that you were still alive only then he was relieved.”

Due to this incident, Mike’s impression of Elliot changed a lot, so he could not help but talk on Elliot’s

behalf.

After Mike’s reminder, Avery recalled the incident that happened a few days ago.

“It’s me…” Avery murmured but her words were swallowed in tears. It was because of her that Wesley

was hurt. Elliot and Mike had to run around because of her. She was also sorry for the child in her

tummy.

Things would turn out this way all because of her.

“Avery, don’t blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you.” Mike grabbed her petite, cold, hands.

“What you need to do now is to rest well. Once you’re discharged from the hospital, we’ll return to

Aryadelle.”

Avery’s gaze was empty and out of focus. Mike did not know if she heard him or not.

“Avery, I’ll get the doctor to reattach the drips for you? You still have two bottles of medication to go,”

Mike coaxed.

Avery shook her head. She refused.

“Okay, then When Elliot comes, you two talk it out.” Mike sat by the side of the bed and quietly stayed

with her.

After a while, Elliot arrived.

“Avery, he’s here,” Mike said to her before getting up and heading out.

Once the door was closed, Elliot walked to the side of the bed. Avery looked at the wearied yet familiar

face, tears fell.

“Avery, don’t cry.” He gently wiped away her tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingers. He said

hoarsely, “If you still want a child, we can have another one. We’ll have as many as you want.”

“I want this one in me!” Avery cried out and grabbed his hand. She squeezed it tightly. She wanted him

to feel how heartbroken she felt.

“The child is almost four months old! In another two months, even if I give birth to it prematurely, I could

let it survive in an incubator! Elliot, how could you be so cruel? Even without medication, I won’t die.

Why did you make this decision on the child’s and my behalf?

Elliot’s eyes moved a little. He said, blaming himself, “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through. I was afraid that

you would be in pain, so…”

“I can bear through it if I was in pain, but the child is innocent!” Avery bore through her tears and

sniffled. “Mike said that you rescued me, how could I blame you?”

“I’m sorry. Maybe I’m not a competent father,” Elliot said guiltily.

Perhaps because the child was not born yet, so he did not fully treat the child as a live human being
