"Let's go inside, Master Elliot!"
Mrs. Cooper walked up to Elliot after waiting for a moment.
She did not know what he talked about with Avery, but what she could confirm was that he never wanted Avery to suffer.
After all, she was now pregnant with his own flesh and blood.
Zoe went too far tonight, but it was understandable.
If she had not suffered a miscarriage, her baby would have been born by now.
Elliot clenched his fists tightly and walked into the living room.
Zoe was sipping a cup of tea on the couch.
She placed her cup down when she saw him walk in.
"Elliot, I gave Shea a sedative. She hasn't slept for twenty four hours, so she will need a nice, long rest," she said as she looked at Elliot. "She'll need to go to the hospital for a cranial checkup tomorrow."
Elliot responded curtly.
"I hear you passed out today. Are you alright?" Zoe asked with a thoughtful expression on her face. "You have to prioritize your health no matter what. Not only for yourself, but for Shea's sake, too. She hasn't completely recovered yet. She might need a third surgery."
Elliot glanced at her and said, "You can leave now!" "Alright. Shea's asleep. You should get some rest, too. "
Zoe stood up, walked past him, then calmly left the house.
Once Zoe was gone, Elliot walked toward Shea's room.
Seeing him approach, Mrs. Scarlet quickly said, "Shea just fell asleep, Master Elliot."
"Go get some rest. Thank you for your hard work," Elliot said.
"This is nothing as long as Shea recovers quickly," Mrs. Scarlet said, then added, " You need to take care of yourself, too. I heard that Miss Tate is pregnant with your child. That's amazing news. Your mother would be ecstatic if she were still alive."
Elliot felt a lump in his throat as gloom flashed across his eyes.
After Mrs. Scarlet left, he sat down by the bed and watched Shea with gentle eyes.
They were biological siblings, but they looked nothing alike.
