Avery looked at the baby photo on Elliot's phone. It was as if someone had sucked her soul away.The instant she saw Ivy's photo, she almost involuntarily yelled out, "Isn't this Layla?""Avery, she looks a lot like Layla," Elliot saw her stunned expression and said, "I saved her photo on my phone because of this reason."Avery took a deep breath and returned Elliot's phone to him. She initially had many things she had wanted to say to him, but at that moment, she could barely say a single word.She finally understood why Elliot had feelings for this child.After she saw the child's photo, she fell into a daze. She quickly walked to the washroom. Elliot followed her closely.Half an hour later, Shea's surgery ended. She was transferred to a VIP ward.Wesley saw Elliot in the ward, and he said, "Shea's anesthesia needs some time to wear off. Stay here and look after her. If she comes around, immediately call the doctor. I'll head to the lab first.""Hmm," Elliot responded. He he

Robert saw Elliot taking Avery away. He furrowed his brows, looking lost."Mommy…" Robert pointed at where Avery had vanished to. He pursed his lips and said to Mrs. Cooper, "I want to play with Mommy…""Your mommy has been working hard for the past few days. She needs to get some good sleep right now. Let's not bother her." Mrs. Cooper took Robert to the living area. "Once your mommy has had some good sleep, she will surely come and play with you."In the bedroom, after everything had resumed peacefully, Avery slept soundly.For the past few days, she had not rested well. Her issue with Elliot had made it hard for her to sleep, but apart from that, she also found it hard to sleep because she was worried about Shea's child. Shifting the child into the artificial womb had been her idea. If anything were to happen, she would surely blame herself.Elliot's eyes were open. He had no urge to sleep. He was not thinking about anything because Avery had already forgiven him.As long as

Ben's words worried Elliot even more. He was worried for Ivy too. He initially thought that Ruby would take proper care of Ivy, seeing how Ivy was her biological daughter.If Ruby actually used Ivy to set him up, he would surely find a way to take Ivy away from Ylore.But if Ruby was dead… He could not afford to assume things.Ruby could die, but Ivy could not! "Elliot, do you want to hear our conversation recording?" Ben was apprehensive. "I plan to find someone to process the recording of my conversation with Ruby. I want to find out what's the sound in the background."Elliot looked up at him. "Do it!""Mm." Ben walked to the side and made a call.Elliot looked at the time. It would take half an hour to get from Nick's place to Ruby's; only five minutes had passed.Ben made the call, took a glass, and poured himself some water. He gulped it down.The atmosphere in the office was eerily quiet. They both said nothing, waiting for replies.About ten minutes later, Ben fina

Tammy laughed uncontrollably."Avery, I feel much happier talking to you.""If you're bored next time, just come over. I can't go shopping with you, but I can kill time with you." Avery took out a bag of fruits from the side and placed them on the coffee table. "What do you want to eat? I'll peel it for you.""My blood sugar level is quite high. My mom doesn't let me have any fruits." Tammy was confused. "Avery, tell me. I'm not that fat, right? Why do I have so many conditions after I got pregnant? Not only is my blood sugar level high, but my blood pressure is also high. Not only that, but the baby in me was also on the smaller side during the early stages of my pregnancy, but now, she's on the bigger side. A few days ago, when I went for a checkup, her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. I don't think I'll go into labor when the time comes."Avery said, "All these are small issues. Even if you don't go into labor, it won't matter. Haven't you already decided to do a Cesa

Seeing Mike's reply, Avery calmed down a little.Since she already had her suspicions, she should find a way to confirm them. Whether or not it was as she thought it was, at least, after confirming it, she would no longer think about it.However, she needed to look after Shea's child at the moment. She could not go to Ylore.She had to wait until Shea's child had a smooth birth, then only could she make plans.Perhaps, she had been thinking too deeply into this matter; her head hurt a lot.She walked over to the bed. She planned to sleep for a while to see if she could relieve the pain.At Sterling Group, after Ben received the call from Ruby asking for help, he called her back almost immediately. The call connected, but no one picked up.Under normal circumstances, if one saw an incoming call, one would either pick up or reject the call.If they truly did not want to answer the call, they could block the number. That way, the other party would not be able to call back.Howeve
