"Of course! I'll treat him as my own," Ruby replied without hesitation.
"If the child finds out about his parents and wants to return to Avery in the future, will you promise to respect their wishes?" asked Jed.
Ruby hesitated.
"Miss Gould, if you restrict your child's freedom, the child will only drift further and further away from you. In fact, the only people we can control are ourselves. Don't you agree?" Jed tried reasoning with her when heard her silence.
"Going by what you said, do you think Elliot will also drift further away from me?" Ruby was not too pleased with his logic.
"We're talking about the child now. | don't want to express my opinion on you and Elliot, because frankly, it's none of my business." Ruby was afraid that he might back out of the procedure, and she immediately said," If the child finds out about Avery and wants to return to her, it just shows | haven't been a good mother. | promise you that if the child wants to return to Avery or has his own life, I'll respect his wishes." Jed felt comforted by Ruby's answer.

There were only two outcomes: either transplant the embryo or destroy it.
He did not want to have to resort to the latter option.
Transplanting the embryo and saving the baby's life, only meant that there was a chance that Avery might be able to see her child in the future.
Besides, he also needed Ruby to help them leave Ylore.
Jed had been dating his girlfriend for three years. He had promised her that he would meet her parents by the end of this year and that they would get married the next year. Since he was trapped in Ylore, this was the only and fastest way he had of leaving the country.
Elliot came out of the hospital, but he did not go home to rest.
He had been keeping Gary company last night, and he had been unable to sleep even when he had gotten the chance to rest.
Avery's condition worried him, and he wondered why he was so afraid to see her die from her illness.
It was the first time he had truly wanted to regain his memory, The more effort he put into it, the emptier his brain became.
He called Edward and Ted and asked them to go to Nick's house.
The bodyguard drove the car to Nick's house. When they arrived, they saw several luxury cars parked in the villa's front yard.
Elliot got out of the car and strode into the villa's living room.

"How is Gary doing, Elliot?" Edward, Nick, and Ted were all there.
The three of them were sitting in the living room, drinking tea.
"Drinking tea first thing in the morning isn't good for the stomach." Elliot sat down on the sofa and felt his stomach churn when he looked at the tea in front of him.
"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Nick asked, then gestured at the servant next to him.
The servant immediately brought some food and placed it in front of Elliot.
"Gary's fall wasn't serious. He'll be discharged after a few days of hospitalization." Elliot ate some of the food and said, "Christopher's death hit him hard.
"Hahaha! You think? His only son is dead!" Edward laughed. "I'm afraid he'll put you on an even tighter leash in the future." "I have to find a way to get away from him." Elliot had come to that decision after thinking about it the entire night.
