Chapter 719
When His Eyes Opened
Without Elliot, Avery could still raise the children well.
Without him, her life and career would go on without a hitch.
âIf it werenât for you, Chelsea wouldnât have incessantly come after me, and Tammy wouldnât have
gotten hurt because of it! I wouldnât have given birth prematurely either! What else have you given me
but pain, Elliot Foster?!â The negative emotions buried in the deepest parts of her heart completely
exploded.
Averyâs criticism left Elliot with nowhere to hide from his shame.
âAveryâ¦â
âDonât say my name!â she cut him off.
âGet out of my house right now! Donât meddle in my business ever again! As for the baby⦠Weâll talk
about it when heâs out of the hospital!â
Elliot tightly clenched his fists as he watched her emotions utterly shatter.
Reason warned him that he had to leave immediately! If he continued to stay, it would only add to her
aggravation.He had already made his decision, and he would not change his mind.
At least Avery merely despised him now, instead of being afraid of him!
Once Elliot left, Mike and the children immediately ran up to Averyâs room.
She had already wiped her tears away and quickly composed herself.She was now the mother of three
children, so she had to be stronger than she ever was before.
âDid you two fight, Avery? Was it because of Chelsea Tierney? I asked Chad about itâ¦â
Mike wanted to comfort her and tell her not to rush things.
Now that Chelsea had fled the country, it was only normal not to be able to find her. It was not as if she
would never return to Aryadelle, right? As long as she returned, with Elliotâs connections and tactics,
there was no way they would not be able to catch her.
âIâm hungry. Letâs go make something to eat!â Avery said, cutting Mike off.
Mike received his intel from Chad, who did not necessarily know about Elliotâs decision.
Things between Elliot and her were disastrous. She did not want to tell the people around her about it,
nor did she want them to worry.
âSure. Youâre still recovering from giving birth, so donât pull a long face⦠I might not think that
recovering at home is important, but everyone says it is, which means it probably is pretty important.â
Mike tried to ease said, âI know that everything that happened recently was messed up, but at least
Baby Robert was delivered without much trouble. How about we throw him a huge party once heâs
discharged from the hospital?â
Avery did not want to rain on his parade, so she agreed.
âWere you the one who kicked Daddy out, Mommy? He didnât say anything to us when he left. How
rude,â Layla said unhappily as she puffed her cheeks.
âDonât worry about him. Letâs go eat,â Avery said
âOkay⦠Is he never coming to our house again, Mommy?â Laylaâs big, round eyes glistened as she
asked curiously, âDidnât he say he was going to move in and help take care of Robert?â
Mike and Hayden both turned to look at Layla as they tried to make her bring the subject to a close.
Layla, however, obviously did not catch their signal at all.
âWill he come back when Robertâs here?â
Laylaâs question almost made Avery lose control of her emotions.
âRobert canât leave the hospital just yet, Layla. Iâll take this time to properly think about your question.â
âOkay. You look really said, Mommy,â Layla said as she reached out to hold onto Averyâs arm.â
Did Daddy make you mad? Donât talk to him anymore, and just play with Hayden and me. We definitely
wonât make you mad!âHer words filled Avery with immense delight.
âOnce Iâve recovered, Iâll take you all on vacation.â
âSure! Weâll bring Robert and Uncle Mike with us⦠Weâll all go and have lots of fun!â Layla said
excitedly.
The next morning, Avery received a call from the hospital.
âCan you come to the hospital now, Miss Tate? Your baby isnât doing too well!â The doctorâs voice on
the phone was pressing.
âNot only has the rash he developed not gone on, but itâs also now begun to spread⦠Heâs now
showing signs of respiratory failure.â
