If | continue to stay here, you will fall in love with me once again." "Avery, is this the right time to talk about this?" "What else should we talk about? About you and Ruby Gould?" Avery was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"She is so obedient to you that | feel like her love for you rivals my love.
"Are you enjoying this? You are out having fun, and you are able to keep your family at the same time," she said sarcastically. "If this carries on, sometime soon... | will give up." Elliot tightened his fingers around the phone.
"I will wait until the end of this month, at most. If you insist on remaining in Ylore, I will give up. You won't have to fight for over custody of the children, since your wife is very young. I'm sure she will be willing to bear you a dozen children," she said, giving him her ultimatum.

Elliot ignored her sarcasm. "Avery, are you saying that you won't leave until the end of this month?" "The end of the month isn't that far away." Her blood ran cold because she could sense from his tone that he would not leave Ylore with her even if she waited until the end of the month. He had made himself clear the entire time and had told her that he would not leave Ylore anytime soon. At the very least, he would not leave with her unless he recovered his memories.
In the end, neither of them remembered who had hung up first.
Avery tossed and turned in her bed when suddenly her lower abdomen felt heavy.
She pulled up the calendar on her phone and checked the date. She realized that she was a week late.
Perhaps it was caused by stress and hormonal imbalance from recent events.
She got out of bed and headed for the supermarket to get some sanitary products. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she ran into Jed. "Where are you going?" Jed looked Avery up and down. He held a plastic bag. "I thought Hayden had settled down, so why do you still look this pale?' "Hormonal imbalance," she said with resignation, "I guess I've been too stressed lately." "Have you considered that this might be because of your condition?" Jed said sternly. "Should | accompany you to the hospital for a check-up? Even if the hormonal imbalance isn't the result of your condition, you still need medicine for that." "It's not that bad, Jed," she dismissed him casually, "I used to-" "What you are used to is in the past. The present is different. You were younger, you had a better immune system, there was no tumor in your head. Stop dismissing your health!" said Jed, finally giving voice to the thoughts that had been swirling inside his head. "This might sound bad, but if you die, your kids will have to live with Elliot. Do you want them to have a stepmother? Ruby Gould might look gentle on the surface, but who knows whether she will torture your kids in private?" Jed's words sent chills down her spine. She had no fear of death, but she could not stand her children having a stepmother. Avery had experienced life with a stepmother, and she was still suffering from the trauma Wanda had inflicted on her as a child.
She could not possibly let her children live with Elliot and Ruby, so she could not die.
"Let's go for a check-up, then!" she said.

The two arrived at the hospital and the doctor gave her a receipt for the ultrasound.
Jed took her to the ultrasound room. She had not been able to get a proper night's sleep during the past few days, and the moment she lay down on the bed, her eyes fluttered shut.
Shortly after that, she fell asleep.
When the doctor showed the results to Jed, Jed could not help but tremble at what he saw.
