Mike has long guessed that Avery would ask this one she was up.
Unless she passed out, if not she would not rest properly in bed.
“I haven’t heard any news yet, but don’t worry, the police are searching for her. She will definitely be
found by daylight.” Mike assured her.
When Avery heard that there was no news yet, she fumbled and swayed listlessly, as if her soul has
been sucked away.
“Avery, go to bed and lie down. What happens if you go into premature labor?” Mike carried her and
placed her in bed.
“Your child is only eight months old. If you were to give birth to it now, although it will survive, it still has
to be in an incubator. You’re a doctor, you should know that premature children get sick easily. Do you
want to see your child suffer?”
Mike’s words caused her body to stiffen. She wanted to go look for Tammy, but she had to care for the
child in her tummy too. She tried to control her own emotions, but she could not do it no matter how
she tried.
Tears streamed down her face. Her fingers clenched the covers tightly.
Mike stood next to her by the bed, looking at how much pain she was in. He was heartbroken.
He wanted to comfort her, but Tammy was not found yet, no matter what he said was pointless. He
could only sit next to her and wait with her silently.
That night was a very long one.
When it was almost dawn, Avery finally fell asleep. The door was suddenly pushed open. Chad brought
breakfast and entered.
“You haven’t slept the entire night, right?” Chad measured him up.
“Have some breakfast then go back and rest! I’ll keep watch here. In an hour or so, Mr. Foster will be
here.”
Mike held the cup of coffee. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Is Tammy still not found yet?”
“No. She is almost missing twenty-four hours already. I’m afraid things are not looking good, “ Chad
said in a low voice.
“F*ck! If Avery knows about this, she is going to lose it.” Mike instantly lost his appetite.
“I’ll wait for Elliot to come before leaving. I’m afraid that if she suddenly wakes up and gets upset, you
won’t be able to help her.”
Chad nodded.
“You’re right.”
An hour later, Elliot rushed to the hospital, looking worn down from traveling. Once he entered the war,
Avery seemed to have sensed his presence. She immediately opened her eyes.
When Elliot saw her reddened and puffy eyes, it was as if he was being choked. He was so
overwhelmed he felt suffocated.
“Avery, don’t be sad.” Elliot held her cold hands and said hoarsely, “I promise you that we will find
Tammy before dark.”
When Avery heard the word Tammy, she lost it. “Elliot, Tammy has been bullied with such cruel tactics!
It’s Chelsea. It must be her! Go and look for her right now!”
“Okay, I’ll go look for her.” Elliot saw her tears and he completely lost his senses.
“Wait for me here.”
Outside the door, Chad received a call.
After the call, he saw Elliot coming out of the ward. He immediately went forward and reported to Elliot
in a low voice, “Mr. Foster, we found Tammy. S-She has been raped. Her body suffered huge damage,
also…she had a miscarriage.”
Chad’s voice was extremely soft, but Avery still heard him.She stood by the door, breathing heavily with
a pained expression.
Then, her breathing got quicker!
“Avery! Are you alright!” Elliot was terrified. He picked her up. His palm on her lower half felt something
hot, wet, and sticky…
