Elliot started to carefully think back about what he had said, but his head hurt. He could not think in peace.
Forget about it!
No matter what he had said, it was alright if Zoe heard.
Zoe felt as if something huge had hit her head! It felt like her mind was being slowly pulled apart! Although she did not want to accept that Avery's skills were better than hers, she had no choice but to do so.
Avery was Professor Hough's last pupil! The anonymous doctor that operated on Shea twice was her too! She was the only one who did not want anything from Elliot.
That would not be the case if it was anyone else!
Thus, everything that she had received from Elliot was thanks to Avery. If Avery were to reveal the truth to Elliot one day, she would everything that she now had.
Instantly, she went from the dominating to subservient. She had to quickly try and come up with a way to turn the tables around.
After breakfast the next morning, Zoe accompanied Rosalie on a walk in the garden.
"Aunt Rosalie, Elliot had told me the reason he canceled our engagement when he called me yesterday," said Zoe.
Rosalie felt guilty, so she had an apologetic expression on her face.
"Do you know where he was yesterday morning?" Zoe smiled bitterly and exhaled. "He was with Avery."
"Oh! What a terrible thing!" Rosalie furrowed her brows.
"Elliot told me that he still loves Avery, which was why he could not be engaged to me." Zoe's eyes were red. "I've been thinking all night long. I don't blame Elliot. I was the one who forced him to be with me. I'm happy to bear his child, and I hope that he too will find happiness."
Rosalie did not expect Zoe to be such a forgiving and generous person.
