"In about half a month!” Avery said. "The equipment is here, but we don't know how to use it. The professor that invented this machine only has tto teach us how to use it next week." "Won't it be too late by then?" Elliot voiced his concerns. "The child will be big then. Will the risk and difficulty of the surgery increase?" "She just got pregnant. In half a month, the child won't be big yet," Avery said. "Don't worry. Wesley and | are here. We will ensure Shea's safety as best we can." "I trust you." Elliot was relieved. "If the child could grow up healthy, that would be even better." Avery heard what he said, and she got distracted. "Elliot, you still like children a lot. Although you were terrifying when you tried to force Shea to get an abortion and when you tried to forceto get an abortion, it's not like you hate children. You're just afraid that they will inherit your sickness." "When we first got together, | did not like children, sickness or not," said Elliot. "I like children because | liked you first. | had feelings for you. It is only after | developed feelings for you did | start to care about our children." Avery looked at his eyes and felt that he was spewing nonsense. He had feelings for Ruby's child at that moment. Was it because he had feelings for Ruby too? Avery could not accept this.
"You might not be very in touch with your feelings," Avery said coldly and walked over to the delivery men.

After Avery paid the delivery men, they left.
"Avery, Professor Simon sent a video of assembly instructions." Wesley showed Avery the video he received.
Avery had a look and said, "He sent it toyesterday, but | haven't had the tto look at it. After all, without seeing the real thing in person, it's useless to watch the video." "Hmm." "Don’t you have your main job? Go, I'll see if | can assemble it with the help of the video, " Avery said. "lI don’t need to go to work "I've already taken leave," Wesley said and looked at Elliot. "Why don't you head to work? Shea will rest at hfor the tbeing. Avery will update you on our progress... if we have even made any." Elliot's gaze fell on Avery. He did not understand why she was unhappy with him a moment ago.
"Avery, why don’t you sendoff!" Elliot said.
Avery nodded and walked over to him, sending him off from the hospital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Avery, are you unhappy?" Elliot looked at her side profile and said in confusion, "I had indeed fallen for you first before loving our children." Avery clenched her fists tightly. If he had not repeated what he had said, her anger might have evaporated after a while. Was it necessary to repeat what he said to hurt her? "I get it. | know. You will first fall in love with the children's mother before falling in love with her children," Avery said quickly, clearly unhappy.
Elliot soon understood why she was angry. He wanted to explain that even if he liked Ivy, he would never fall for Ruby.
However, in that case, would that not just go against what he had said? He kept his silence, in case he made matters worse.
"This is me. Go back to the ward." Elliot was about to reach the parking lot.
"Hmm." Avery turned and left. She was disappointed. She knew that he understood why she was unhappy, but he did not explain himself nor face this issue head-on. That was because he could not promise her as before that he would not want the child.
She returned to the ward with all its equipment. Wesley immediately noticed that she did not look too happy. He quickly walked over to her.
