His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 516

Avery's tone was ambiguous, but Elliot understood the deeper meaning behind her words.

She was telling him not to get any ideas about Hayden and Layla. It did not matter whether or not they were twins, neither did it matter if Hayden was his son or not. The only child that belonged to him was the one she was carrying.

In the past, Elliot's bad temper would erupt by now, but his emotions were more stable now than they were before, and it was better than nothing.

Avery finished applying the medication on his wound, then picked up the gauze and roll of bandages she planned on wrapping his hand up with.

"Just stick a simple bandage on it," Elliot said. He thought that using the gauze would be taking things too far. People might end up thinking he was suffering from a much more severe injury.

Avery ignored his request and immediately began to wrap his hand up with the gauze.

"Keep the wound dry for the next couple of days," she instructed.

"How would I take a shower, then?' Elliot asked.

"Is this the first time you've gotten hurt?"

Avery raised her brows. She wanted to mock him, but lost the confidence to do so as she remembered that her daughter was responsible for Elliot’s wound.

"If you can't take a shower with one hand and don’t want any help from others, then just use a water-resistant glove," she said.

Elliot stared at his solidly bandaged hand, then said casually, "When can we find out if the baby's a boy or a girl?"

"We'll know once it's born, right?" Avery said.

She put the medication and bandages away, then walked to the door and said, " It's not like we can change anything even if we find out sooner."

"I hope it's a girl," Elliot said as if he was making a wish and sauntered over to her." Just like Layla."

"Life has a tendency of giving you the exact opposite of what you wish too hard for," Avery irked him deliberately. "It could be a boy."

The faint light in Ellliot's eyes vanished. It was obvious that he truly wanted a daughter, and was not too fond of the idea of having a son. It was no wonder he was able to act so violently toward Hayden in the past.
