"Why don't you head home first? I won't send you off," Wesley said and returned to the lab.
A week flew by in the blink of an eye.
The doors to the lab were pushed open and Avery exited the lab.
Wesley took her luggage, following her.
Elliot stood outside the door.
Seeing her coming out of the lab, he immediately walked over to her and stretched his long arm out.He
took over her luggage from Wesley.
"How is the child?" he asked Avery.
"Everything is normal for now." Avery sounded calm.It was as though they had not been fighting.
Elliot took her luggage with one hand and held her hand with the other, leading her out of the hospital.
On the way home, Elliot secretly snuck glances at her.
"What are you looking at me for? Just say what you want to say," said Avery, breaking the silence.
"Avery, I'm sorry."
After a moment of silence, he said, "I have thought about it for a very long time.No matter how I think
about it, I don't understand why Ivy looks so much like Layla.I look at her photo, often in a daze.I have
this unshakable feeling that that child is ours.If I had such feelings for the child, it is because of you and
Layla and not Ruby."
"Hmm," Avery gently responded.
"For the past few days, I have been thinking about this too.If we continue to be in such a conflict, it will
not end well for the both of us, so..."
Elliot's heart constricted tightly, waiting for her to continue her sentence.
"If you want to go to Ylore to see the child, go! Elliot, I won't stop you from doing it, but in the future, I
don't want to have anything to do with the child.Please stay away from me, okay?" said Avery,
compromising.
The car came to a halt with a piercing screech.
Avery held her seatbelt tightly.
After the car stopped, she looked at Elliot in panic.
"Avery, I have promised you that I will never go to Ylore! Even if I pity the child, I will never break that
promise I made to you!"
"Unless the child was in danger," he thought.
However, he did not say that, because he believed that Ruby would not harm that child.
Avery looked at Elliot's skinny face EAo#\vII deep gaze.Her self- loathing heart was instantly comforted.
"I have already told Ben to not send me any messages or photos that have to do with Ruby and Ivy."
Elliot had not had a good week.
Avery had not returned home.
Every day, he was busy with work.He ended work early to care for the children.
Once he had put the children to bed, he would return to his room and take a shower.He was tired and
sleepy, but he could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
"I will never let you feel aggrieved due to this issue again," Elliot said in a hoarse voice.
"Avery, I don't want to say sorry to you anymore, so I won't do anything wrong to you again."
Avery's nose turned sore.
The grievances she felt instantly vanished.
When she returned home, she went to her room, took a shower, and changed into clean loungewear
before heading downstairs.
Mrs.Cooper had prepared a wonderful lunch to reward her for her hard work.
The children and the servants at home did not know about Elliot's and Avery's argument.
They thought that Avery had not returned home for the past week because of Shea's child.
After all, the technology was rather rare.
To ensure its success, it needed a doctor to be there 24 hours, watching over it.
After lunch, Elliot took Avery upstairs.
She just had a full meal, so she could not keep up with him.
"I want to go play with my son for a while..." She could already guess why he was so anxious to take her
to their room.
