Chapter 298
Elliot has only slept with Zoe once, yet she got pregnant from that time?
He released the handles to the door of the operation theater.
Chad noticed the changes in his expression. His heart was beating wildly. What happened? Why was he not entering to see Avery?
“Chad, stay here,” Elliot said bitterly, “I have to go back.”
Chad nodded. He dared not ask any questions. After Elliot left, Chad pushed the door to the operation theater open and took a glance inside.
Avery had taken her jacket off and placed it over Laura. She sat listlessly next to Laura. Avery grabbed Laura‘s hand tightly, crying, and muttering something.
Chad’s eyes reddened upon seeing this. He closed the door. He took his phone out, found Wesley’s contact, and called him.
Once he notified Wesley, he left the hospital and drove back to Starry River Villa. He could do nothing for Avery at the hospital, so he thought he might swap places with Mike. He would take care of her two kids while Mike went to take care of Avery.
When Chad returned to the villa, the two children were already asleep. Chad updated Mike
about the situation before Mike rushed out with reddened eyes.
Instantly, the villa was silent. Chad entered the children‘s room. The two of them were quietly asleep in bed. They had a long day out, so they slept soundly.
A warm night light was placed next to the bed. Chad wanted to have a good look at the children ‘s faces, so he turned the lights brighter. Instantly, it was bright as day.
Upon hearing Mike’s voice, Avery lifted her head.
“Why are you here? What about the kids?” She sounded hoarse. Her eyes were extremely red and puffy too.
Avery stood up from the bench.
Mike strode over to her and hugged her. “Avery, don‘t be afraid! You still have me! I will always be with you—”
Avery‘s head hurt. She shoved Mike away and yelled, “I‘m asking you where are the kids? Didn tI ask you to watch over them?”
“The kids are asleep, don‘t worry. Chad is looking after them. He is the one who suggested that I be here with you. I want to be with you, so I came.” Mike grabbed Avery‘s hands. He was shocked by how cold her hands felt.
