Before Wesley could ask her anything, Avery had already collected her emotions.
"Let's start working! Rather than waiting for Professor Simon to come over, we should try assembling it
ourselves first."
"Okay."
Elliot returned to the office, yet he could not calm himself down.He would secretly look at Ivy's photo.He
did not go to Ylore to look for Ivy, but he could not let her go either.He could not let her go because she
looked a lot like Layla.He felt sorry for Avery and the children too, but he was sure that he could keep his
promise to Avery if nothing happened to Ivy.
In the afternoon, Shea came to the hospital.
"Avery, is my baby going to grow up here?"
Shea bent down in front of the artificial womb.She blinked and looked at the transparent bag.
"Hmm, by then, we can observe its growth every day."
Shea nodded and said, "I really hope that it can grow up healthy just like Wesley."
"I'm sure it will."
Avery knew what she was worried about.
"Shea, you have to relax.The child is important, but you are even more important."
Shea smiled sweetly and nodded.
"Avery, I'll listen to you."
"During the surgery, it might hurt a little.Wesley told me that you're afraid of pain, so after a discussion,
we have decided to put you under anesthesia."
Avery helped Shea to the side and sat her down.
"Don't bend down for too long now."
"Hmm.Wesley frightened me the day before.He said that giving birth to a child will be super painful.I said
I wasn't scared, but actually, I am scared," Shea said honestly.
"Now, you don't have to be scared.Even if you are giving birth on your own, there is anesthesia too.It
won't be too painful."
When Avery mentioned anesthesia, she instantly thought about Jed.She had not forgotten that Jed had
given her an extra dose of anesthesia.
It was a pity that the dead could not be revived.She guessed that she would never solve this mystery.
Ten days later, Professor Simon arrived at Elizabeth Hospital.He first checked on the equipment that
Avery had assembled.
After he made sure that there were no problems, he arranged for Shea's surgery.
Wesley was in the operation theater with Shea while she was having her surgery.
Avery CCs&AnIJ Elliot were waiting outside.
Avery pulled Elliot over to sit on the bench.
For the past few days, their relationship was not too warm nor too cold.He was busy at his office while
she was busy at the hospital, so they did not talk much.However, that prick in Avery's heart had never
once vanished.
"Elliot, you must have seen Ivy, right?" Avery broke the silence.
When he heard her mention Ivy's name, his heart skipped a beat.
They had never directly spoken about Ivy, but she had brought the topic up, and he had to answer that
question honestly.
"Yes, I've seen her photos."
"Oh...Ruby sent them to you?"
"No.She sent it to Ben.Ben sent it to me."
"Hmm.Let me have a look."
Avery stretched out her hand to him Elliot was a little stunned.
Then, he immediately took out his phone and found the photo album before placing his phone in her
hands.
He had saved a photo of Ivy in his photos.
Ivy, in the photo, had bright eyes.
Not only did she look like Layla, but she also looked a little like Robert.He had deleted this photo once
before, but later, he recovered it from the bin.
