Everyone’s gaze landed on Elliot. He took his phone out and saw who was calling.
“It’s Chelsea.” Elliot looked at Avery and said before picking up the call.
On the other end of the line, Chelsea hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Elliot, I heard that Avery has given birth. I thought about it and felt that I should visit her. I’m at the entrance of the inpatient unit. I wonder which ward she is in.”
Elliot strode away. Mike teased, “How dare Chelsea call him. Don’t tell me she wants to visit you?”
Avery’s expressions turned extremely cold. She did not want to see Chelsea , she only wanted her to die.
“Layla, Hayden, stay in the room. I’ll go have a look.” Mike’s nosy attitude was piqued. Other than prying, Mike wanted to put pressure on Elliot.
Chelsea and Elliot have known each other for more than ten years. They were exceptionally close. If not, Chelsea would not have been able to do so many bad things so brazenly.
Avery was only caused to have premature labor. Thankfully it was only premature labor. If it was a miscarriage, Chelsea would have died a thousand times over!
Chelsea stood in the lobby of the inpatient unit. She looked at the lift. A moment later, the doors to the lift slowly opened and Elliot walked out of the lift with gusto.
Chelsea quickly collected her emotions. When Elliot was in front of her, her eyes reddened, and she looked remorseful.
“Elliot, I’m sorry, I’ve looked into it. Nora was the one who did it.”
Chelsea barely finished her sentence when Elliot slapped her. The slap came unannounced! It was a hard slap too. Chelsea could not bear it. She felt as if her soul left her body from the slap! The love-hate relationship waso comical!
“I didn’t do it! Why did you slap me?” Chelsea clutched her face and yelled uncontrollably, “Elliot, when nothing happens, you never see me! When things happen, you blame it all on me! Do you have any conscience!”
