Chapter 485 Avery finished tending to Elliot’s wound, then said coldly, “Put your clothes on.”
Elliot put on the t-shirt she gave him, then looked up at her and asked, “Can I ask my question now?”
“What is it?” Avery’s expression and tone were icy. “Hayden doesn’t like you. Don’t touch him again. If something
like this ever happens again, just give me a call.”
Elliot’s mind went25 blank.
He really did bring all of this onto himself.
He picked up his torn shirt, stood up and prepared to9c leave.
Avery suddenly felt anxious.
Her feet took an involuntary step forward as she said, “What did you want to ask23 me?”
Elliot turned to look at her, then said, “Do you think shea needs to continue her treatment? I’m worried it would end
up taking a toll on her health if we keep going.”

“Since you went to her and even paid her an exorbitant medical fee, you should just listen to herza advice.”
Elliot did not expect his question to hit Avery right where it hurt.
“I won’t bother you with Shea’s sickness ever again, Avery,” he said emotionlessly as his Adam’s apple bobbed in
his35 throat.
However, Avery saw what looked like a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
“You should show some basic sincerity if you’re asking a genuine question,” Avery said as she met his gaze. “You
better keep the truth from me forever! You didn’t tell me when I wanted to know about it. By the time you decide to
tell me, I would already not want to hear what you have to say.”
Elliot tightly clenched his ripped shirt, then left in humiliation.
Avery no longer wanted to know about his relationship with Shea.
He was too foolish!
Back when he made his decision, he had ignorantly made one mistake after another.
He chose to hide the truth from Avery all because of his d*mned pride!
Now, however, his pride was worth absolutely nothing to her!
Once Elliot was gone, Avery fell back onto the couch.
She placed her hands on her flushed cheeks as every breath she took hurt her.
Mike and Hayden stood by the stairs and watched the entire fight.
It was not actually a fight.
Elliot did not argue with Avery.
He had not made one wrong move ever since he found out she was pregnant.
What Avery was doing now was equivalent to a “counter-abuse”.
However, in the process of hurting Elliot, she was also hurting herself.
Hayden walked over to his mother’s side and hugged her.

competition next time, okay? I’ll go and support you.”
Hayden nodded his head.
As the black Rolls-Roice drove out of the Starry River Villa, Elliot did not make his way home.
His mind was in turmoil.
Hayden and Avery’s voices continued to ring in his head, until the two voices were finally interwoven together and
gave him a splitting headache.
Without realizing it, he drove the car to the hospital where Avery got an abortion all those years ago.
He saw in the hospital director’s office, then lit up a cigarette and asked, “Can you look up abortion records from
five years ago?”
The director quickly nodded and said, “Of course. All I need is the patient’s name. I’ll get my staff to bring out their
file right away!”
The cigarette trembled slightly between Elliot’s fingers, and ash fell onto his slender fingers.
His face was shrouded in a fog of smoke, making him look almost dream-like. He parted his thin lips and said
Avery’s name.
