Chapter 460 Elliot had described Avery’s symptoms to his family doctor through messages earlier, and the doctor had suggested that Avery had to be either ill, or pregnant.
Elliot quickly denied the former, as Avery was a doctor herself; if she truly was terminally ill, she would not attend Tammy’s wedding, not to mention the bachelorette party the night before.
But what could cause a person to lose so much weight within such a short period of time if one wasn’t terminally ill?
Apart from that, Avery clearly could eat; she simply avoided meat and ate only fruits and vegetables. Was that not exactly the symptoms of 25 pregnancy?
Everyone at the table was stunned at Elliot’s words.
Mike was slightly annoyed and taken by surprise that Elliot managed to realize it so soon, so he said, “Avery’s not9c pregnant.”
Avery was on pins and needles. She did not look at Elliot , but could still sense his sharp eyes on her face. She could have lied like Mike did, but she couldn’t, simply because it was too easy to check if she was pregnant.
She couldn’t explain why she gagged or why she refused the pork rib he placed on her23 plate.
Elliot was a skeptical person and she knew that she wouldn’t be able to fool him, so she picked up her purse and stood up.
Everyone turned to look at her, wondering what she was going toza do.
Elliot stood up as well when Avery did, before taking long strides towards her and grabbing her wrist to drag her out of the event hall.
Tammy, who was toasting, saw the two leaving and hurried over to ask, “why did they leave? What35 happened?”
Mike looked up at Tammy. “Tammy, do you already know that Avery is pregnant?”
Tammy’s eyes darted around guiltily.
