"Can't you just hope for the best? You're going to rid yourself of that good-for-nothing man soon, so I'm positive your illness will be cured," Mike comforted her.
"You don’t have to drag Elliot into everything. It's going to be even more difficult forto forget him if you keep talking about him," Avery frowned. "And I'm not being pessimistic. I'm just preparing for the worst. If | do becblind in the future, I'd still like to have a happy life." Mike could feel his head hurting when he heard her say that.

"Of course. You wouldn't be able to understand how | felt because you've never been blind." The fear Avery experienced when her vision turned pitch black a week ago was something she would not be able to easily forget.
"Tammy's coming to visit you later. Didn't you see the message she sent you?" "I didn't check my phone." The doctor told her to avoid looking at her phone as much as possible, so she only treated her phone as a means of keeping track of the time.
She only glanced occasionally at it to check what tit was.
"She calledand said she wanted to hang out with you. | told her it was inconvenient, but she insisted on coming. She's never been this unreasonable before, but she seems to have gotten much more stubborn now that she's pregnant." Mike picked up the water bottle, uncapped it, and took a sip of water.
"She's not being stubborn. | promised her long ago that she can cwhenever she wants.” "I see. Well, she wants to cand see you because she heard that you and Elliot were going to get a divorce. When we talked over the phone, she askedwhy you were so hell-bent on separating from him, but | didn't tell her. I'll leave that to you when the tcomes!" "Perhaps not here. I'd like a change of scenery! The atmosphere inside this ward is just too depressing." Avery got off the bed. "I'll take a walk with her in the yard below." Tammy cabout half an hour later. Her belly was getting much bigger =b+>VLW: it was a little difficult for her to walk.
Avery led her to a bench and they sat down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Tammy spotted Mike's presence nearby, she wondered aloud, "Why is he following you? Is he always with you?" "I'm about to divorce Elliot, so he's been withthese few days." "Sigh... If only | wasn’t pregnant. I'm definitely more caring than him." Tammy took her hand and told her what was in her heart, "Avery, there's no way you can forgive Elliot this time. Once you divorce him, you should put a full stop to this chapter in your life.
There's no love lost there. I'm just worried about the children..." "We'll talk when he comes back! He's not around, so | don’t know his thoughts on it." Avery changed the subject calmly. "If | do divorce him, I'm not sure if I'll cback here to congratulate you once you deliver your baby." "Are you going to leave after the divorce?" Tammy seemed reluctant to part ways. " Are you planning to settle down in Bridgedale? That would mean we'll only see each other several times a year. " Avery sighed. "It's not confirmed yet, but | will leave the country for the tbeing." "lI understand how you feel. It's alright if you can't cback! I'm sure Jun will invite Elliot once the baby is born... You don't need to cif you don't want to see him. You can always choose a tto payand the baby a visit." "Okay." "By the way, | heard that Ivy is missing." Tammy let Avery in on sof the intel she had. "Jun summoned the courage to call Elliot this morning and asked how things were there. He asked if the child was found but Elliot said not yet." "I see... It's probably not a good sign if she hasn't been found," Avery whispered.
She was not trying to be negative about the situation and was only deducing the outcfrom what had happened. It was unlikely that the child would survive.
After all, the child was too young and the Goulds have been completely destroyed.
If the child was nowhere to be found, then the only possibilities were that the child was either killed and destroyed or taken away by the bad guys. After all, if the child was alive and had not been taken away by the bad guys, she should have been handed over to Elliot as soon as he arrived in Ylore.
