Avery initially wanted to sleep, but after being woken up by their noise, she no longer had the urge to
sleep.
“Let’s do it now then!” Avery headed upstairs to grab her bag.
A moment later, she returned with her bag in hand.
Elliot’s gaze fell on her tummy. “Avery, do you not have a lift at home?”
“No.” She knew what Elliot was thinking about. He was worried that she would be too exhausted
climbing stairs, affecting the child in her tummy, but she was not exhausted at all.
Even if her tummy grew bigger at a later stage, she still could bring herself upstairs.
“Either you move downstairs, or you install a lift. Your choice,” Elliot said to her in an unquestionable
tone. “How am I going to install a lift? Are you asking me to tear down my house?” Avery glared at him.
“If I can’t climb the stairs anymore, I’ll naturally move downstairs.”
Avery strode out of the house with Elliot following behind her.
When the bodyguard saw the two of them coming, he immediately opened the car door for them. They
got in the car and headed to the68 hospital.
In the car, the atmosphere was rather cold.
Elliot suddenly reached his hand out and pressed a button. A screen in front of them suddenly rose,
dividing the front and the back of the car into two.
Avery was baffled.
“Avery, since the child in you is fine, then give birth to him.” Elliot was afraid that Avery had forgotten
their previous deal, so he reminded her and said, “The child is mine. When he is born, he will have the
same surname as me. At the same time, I will raise him.”
Avery furrowed her brows. “You’re going to raise him? Do you even know how to raise children?”
Elliot replied, “I have money. I can hire a professional babysitter.
Avery said, “You weren’t this insistent previously. Is this because I hit you and you resented it, so you
decided to steal the child from me?”
“What do you mean to steal? The child is mine!”
Avery saw how Elliot was not giving in. Her lips moved but no words came out. If he insisted that way,
Avery had no choice at all.
“Also, I won’t resent you for hitting me,” Elliot’s thin lips moved. He enunciated , “But that makes me
realize that you’re not worthy of my love.”
His words were like needles pricking into her heart. It was not extremely painful but still uncomfortable.
Avery lowered her gaze. She hit him, so she has lost her right to speak.
“Avery, you’re the first woman ever to hit me.” Elliot took off his mask of pretense. He sounded
aggrieved.
“If you loved me, you would never have hit me.”
Just like how he has flared up in front of her countless times, but he never once thought to hit her. He
would rather harm himself than hurt her.
Avery was ashamed.
“I want the child.” Elliot quickly collected his emotions, and his voice resumed its coldness.
After a while, the car arrived at the hospital. Elliot brought Avery directly to the ultrasound department
The head of the department personally serviced Avery. Once Avery lay down, the head of the
department placed the scanner on her tummy.
Instantly, on the screen, the child’s face could be seen clearly!
Elliot stopped breathing! His deep-set eyes looked at the child’s animated face on the screen.
Avery saw the child’s face too. The child looked exactly like Hayden.
The head of the department glanced at Elliot and said with a wide smile, “The child looks like the
father!”
Then, the head of the department moved the scanner further down. The child’s body could be clearly
seen on the screen. The child’s sex was for all to see.
