Avery was taken aback!
If it were not for the injury on her arm, she would have jumped up from the bed.
“What husband? I’m not married! Nobody has the right to decide my child’s life or death!”
Because Avery was overly agitated, the doctor immediately apologized, “Miss Tate, I’m sorry. Mr. Forster indeed did not say that he was your husband, he said that he was the child’s father.”
“Even if he is the child’s father, he doesn’t have the right to do so!” Avery lost it. Tears fell.
Elliot had been keeping watch over her for the entire night. That morning, Mrs. Scarlet took over so that he could go back to rest.
Mrs. Scarlet should not have called him to disturb him, but she had no choice but to do so, looking at Avery’s state at that moment. After Mrs. Scarlet made a call to Elliot, Mike pushed the door and entered.
“Avery, you’re finally up!” Mike walked over to her bed and sat down. He took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears. “Don’t cry. Elliot’s thoughts and mine are the same. Between you and the child, you are more important. If this child is gone, you can have another one, but if you’re dead, there is nothing else left anymore.”
Avery pushed Mike’s hands away and wiped her tears herself.
“I know that not only you’re feeling uncomfortable, but this must be a huge blow on you mentally too, but this time, Elliot is right. He rushed over to rescue you. In between, he barely slept. It was until he rescued you out and the doctors said that you were still alive only then he was relieved.”
Due to this incident, Mike’s impression of Elliot changed a lot, so he could not help but talk on Elliot’s behalf.
After Mike’s reminder, Avery recalled the incident that happened a few days ago.
“It’s me…” Avery murmured but her words were swallowed in tears. It was because of her that Wesley was hurt. Elliot and Mike had to run around because of her. She was also sorry for the child in her tummy.
Things would turn out this way all because of her.
