Chapter 802
Avery thought that she misheard, so she did not answer this question.
Turns out, Mike did not give up on it. He asked once more.
“Mike, why would you ask this question?” Avery was stumped.
“Did he do something that makes him seem that way?”
Mike shook his head. “I’m not close to him, so I’m asking you.”
“If you’re not close to him, then why would you doubt his intelligence? If someone were to doubt your intelligence, would you be happy?” Although Avery was still giving Elliot the cold shoulder, she would not want to see him be talked down upon.
Mike promised that he would not tell Elliot’s secret, so he tried hard to come up with a reason.
“He and Shea are twins. Shea has the condition, would he have it too?”
“They are fraternal twins. You can treat it as if they are two completely different beings. Their blood types are different too,” Avery explained.
Mike might look like he understood it, but he was still filled with curiosity.
Why was Elliot’s condition cured when he was young? That great doctor not only cured Elliot’s condition completely but there were also no after-effects either.
Elliot could have his achievements at that point, which proved that his intelligence was not only fine, but it was also better than many.
“Did Elliot contact you?” Mike changed the subject.
Avery asked, “Why are you asking me this?”
“You two have three children together. Are you planning to just ignore each other forever?” Mike furrowed his brows.
“He isn’t angry with Robert anymore. He is mainly angry that you kept the fact that you were treating Shea from him. If you didn’t keep that from him, he would never have treated Zoe as his savior. The other crazy things that happened after that wouldn’t have happened too…”
“Mike, if things could be repeated, I would still do it,” Avery said calmly, “Tammy said that I was selfish. I am indeed selfish.”
Mike was stunned. “Tammy said that to you?”
“She is right. Selfish people usually live better.” Avery looked at Robert who was sound asleep.
“Now that the children are with me, if Elliot doesn’t come to look for me, he won’t be able to see them. I don’t need to look for him.”
