NovelEnglishElliot had described Avery’s symptoms to his family doctor through messages earlier, and the doctor had suggested that Avery had to be either ill, or pregnant.
Elliot quickly denied the former, as Avery was a doctor herself; if she truly was terminally ill, she would not attend Tammy's wedding, not to mention the bachelorette party the night before.
But what could cause a person to lose so much weight within such a short period of time if one wasn’t terminally ill? Apart from that, Avery clearly could eat; she simply avoided meat and ate only fruits and vegetables. Was that not exactly the symptoms of pregnancy? Everyone at the table was stunned at Elliot's words.
Mike was slightly annoyed and taken by surprise that Elliot managed to realize it so soon, so he said, "Avery’s not pregnant.” Avery was on pins and needles. She did not look at Elliot, but could still sense his sharp eyes on her face. She could have lied like Mike did, but she couldn't, simply because it was too easy to check if she was pregnant.

Elliot was a skeptical person and she knew that she wouldn't be able to fool him, so she picked up her purse and stood up.
Everyone turned to look at her, wondering what she was going to do.
Elliot stood up as well when Avery did, before taking long strides towards her and grabbing her wrist to drag her out of the event hall.
Tammy, who was toasting, saw the two leaving and hurried over to ask, "why did they leave? What happened?" Mike looked up at Tammy. "Tammy, do you already know that Avery is pregnant?" Tammy's eyes darted around guiltily.
"Avery is pregnant?!" Jun exclaimed in shock, "that's so tic! Do you all know about that? Does Elliot know?" Mike lifted an eyebrow. "What do you think?" Jun rubbed his hands together. "Hahaha! That's great, isn't it? Why do you all seem so gloomy?" No one was happy, perhaps not even Elliot, considering how terrifying his expression was when he left with Avery.
Jun suddenly came to realization :c"?QJT> exclaimed, "could it be that Avery's baby isn't Elliot's?!" Tammy couldn't bring herself to listen to the conversation any longer and dragged Jun away.
Elliot dragged Avery out of the event hall and into the elevator by the wrist. The elevator door shut slowly and the tension in the air was suffocating.
Avery never thought that Elliot would find out about her pregnancy at such a time under such circumstances.
She observed him quietly through the metal wall of the elevator.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis brows furrowed as he pursed his lips in silence. In his mind, countless thoughts arose and he was caught in emotions.
It wasn't that he had not thought of the possibility of Avery getting pregnant with his child, considering how many times they had been intimate without protection; but the discovery had taken him by surprise. Apart from that, he was also angry about the fact that Avery kept the pregnancy from him.
‘Why didn't she tell me? Could it be that... she is pregnant with someone else's child?" He thought.
Elliot tensed and decided to take Avery to the hospital right away.
In the quiet corridor of the hospital, the door to the ultrasound room was pushed open. Elliot stepped out with the ultrasound image in one hand and grabbed onto Avery's wrist with another.
He exploded the moment they entered the elevator and stared coldly at her. "Avery Tate, whose child are you pregnant with?!" According to the ultrasound, she had already been two months along.
