Chapter 1441
Nick was stunned and so was Ruby.The Gould family's bodyguards charged at Avery when they saw her strike Ruby, but Nick stopped them. "That's between them women! You guys need to stay out of it! Go guard the elevator. Don't let anyone unrelated come in!" he said as he dragged the bodyguards out.He closed the door behind him, leaving Ruby, Avery, and Elliot alone in the room."You hit me?!" Ruby covered her cheek. Her eyes were red with rage and disbelief."How could you let this happen to him, Ruby?! How dare you answer his call and use it to antagonize me while hiding his condition! What were you thinking?! What if he dies? Do you plan on keeping his body and filling my head with lies about how much you love each other?!"Ruby lowered her hands, balling them into fists. "He isn't dead! The doctors said that he is going to recover! He just needs some time!""Who did this to him? Paul?!" Hatred filled Avery's eyes. "How dare he torture Elliot? Ruby Gould! What were you doing?

"She doesn't look like she is lying," Nick thought. "So, is it true? If it is, this is about to get really interesting."Nick knew that he was supposed to enjoy the show, but his head began to hurt. If Elliot and Avery had confined their fight to Aryadelle, he would not have gotten involved. However, it was becoming apparent to him that they would continue their fight in Ylore, and that would not only concern him but everyone else too. Avery treated him like she would her own brother, and although that had irritated him before, he had grown used to it and was no longer irritated by it. "If you have a child that you can hold over Elliot as leverage, why are you scared of Avery? Just let her stay until Elliot recovers!"Ruby struggled to suppress her anger. "Now that you've said it, it's not like I can kill her or something.""Elliot won't forgive you if you kill her. Don't think that you won't be held responsible no matter what you do simply because you are pregnant with his chil

They fought over this. Downstairs, the nanny was preparing Tammy's medicine. The doctor had told her to take it three times a day. Tammy had taken it for two days, and this was her third day on the medicine. She had not gone home for lunch, and no one knew when she would be back. Jun stood on the balcony, getting some fresh air. He called her. It took a while for her to answer the call."Jun, I am kind of busy right now... I'm going to be home late. You can have dinner first. Don't wait up for me."Tammy's words lit a fire in him. "I thought we are trying for a baby? Are you not taking your medicine? You skipped it this afternoon."Though he was furious, he did not dare raise his voice. Ever since the kidnapping incident, he had not allowed himself to lose his temper in front of her."I intended to go back and take the medicine this afternoon, but you told me to stay at the company and rest there, as it was not safe for me to drive while I was tired… You said that it's oka
Chapter 1444
Tammy was ready to accept whatever Jun said about her, but she was instantly provoked when he mentioned her mother.She raised her hand and slapped him across the face."Jun Hertz, have you forgotten all the times you came home piss drunk from the gatherings you attended?! Have you forgotten puking in every corner of the house? Have I ever dragged your mom into the picture?! You b*st*rd! You have no right to blame me or my mom! So what if I drank? I said I wanted to get pregnant, but I did not say I wanted to get pregnant immediately! Can I not delay it for work?"Tammy had hurt Jun's pride when she slapped him in public.When he mentioned her mother, he had meant that Tammy's mother had never gone drinking with clients like she did, and therefore, she did not need to either.Tammy had bent the meaning of his words and slapped him for it.His chest heaved as chaos took over his mind. In order to keep their argument at bay, he suppressed his anger, opened the car door, got inside,

Tammy lay on the bed inside her room. She was hugging her pillow. She took out her phone, found Avery's number, and called her.Avery soon answered the call. "Avery, I had an argument with Jun. I think getting back with him was a mistake," sobbed Tammy. "Why can men stay out drinking, but not women?""Don't cry, Tammy. You two need to sit down and talk this out. There has to be a way to resolve this," said Avery, consoling her."I told him many times that I would be busy for a month or two, but after that, I will not be as busy. He said that he was fine with that, but today, he lost his temper," said Tammy as she wiped away her tears. "He even dragged my mother into it. I couldn't stand it and slapped him across the face.""Why would Jun say anything bad about Auntie? He's not that kind of person!""I heard it with my own ears!""What exactly did he say?""I— I forgot. I was angry, and I didn't hear him clearly." Tammy choked on her voice and said, "Avery, what would you do
Chapter 1446
Suddenly, her phone rang.She took it out and realized it was a video call from Layla.She had promised Layla that she would video call her every day when she left for Aryadelle.Avery hesitated before answering the call."Mommy! Where are you right now?" Layla could tell from the background that Avery was in the hospital and she sounded a little frantic."I'm in the hospital. Would you like to see Daddy?" Avery was a little hesitant to show Layla Elliot, but in the end, she decided that Layla was strong enough to handle it."Of course!" Layla answered without skipping a beat.Avery took a deep breath and pointed the camera at Elliot.Layla's eyes grew wide. "Is that Daddy? How did Dad end up like that?!" she exclaimed when she realized that it was him on the bed.Avery moved the camera back toward her. "Your dad is sick. He hasn't woken up and cannot talk. All the things Ruby Gould said to you before were false."Layla was relieved, but then a frown appeared across her face.

Ruby felt as though someone had poured cold water over her.She had never been pregnant before and was not aware that there were so many tests that she needed to get done. She was stunned.Avery shoved the ultrasound diagram back into her hands. "By the way, you said that your baby is Elliot’s, right? Once you are three months into the pregnancy, you better get a DNA test done, or you won't see the end!" "Very well! I'm not afraid of a DNA test!" Ruby handed the ultrasound results to the nanny and strode toward the bed. "Why haven't they administered his medication yet? Did the doctor not come today?""Can't you read the clock?" Avery was extremely rude because she was in a bad mood. "I asked the doctor to change the meds he is on. They are now getting his new meds ready."The color on Ruby's face changed rapidly.Avery was a doctor, who was qualified to make such decisions; she was a nobody, and her opinions did not matter in the face of Avery. "Miss, you don't have to stay h
Chapter 1448
Avery did not think that Elliot would lie to her, but Ruby seemed too confident to be lying.She needed to know the truth, and she needed to know it quickly. In Aryadelle, Jun's head felt heavy. He had not slept a wink. At eight the next morning, his parents came to visit him.He did not need to speak to them to know that the nanny had informed his parents about what had taken place. "Jun, what is your plan?"Confused, he asked, "Why are you two acting so serious? It's not like this is the first time Tammy and I got into a fight...""Oh. So it was just a small argument, then?""Big or small, it's between me and her." Jun's expression darkened. "I need to go back to sleep, so just go home!""If you won't speak to us, then we are going to the Lynch's mansion right now to talk to Tammy," said Mrs. Hertz and got up."Mom! Don't do that!" Jun said hastily. "She said she needs some time to cool down. Don't go to her.""What's there to cool down from? You two are just trying to
