NovelEnglishNothing was worth Elliot's life.
Avery's head started to throb again.
"Avery, | heard that Elliot's new Ylore wife is really beautiful. Are you not scared that he would choose her over you? Even when Jun said that he loved me the most, | would still catch him scrolling through other women's social media pages," asked Tammy.
"If he really left me, it would hurt me less," replied Avery.

"You're right, if he leaves you, it would mean that he isn’t worth being sad over," said Tammy.
Perhaps it was because of this very phone call that Avery's dreams were haunted by the imagery of Elliot leaving her for Ruby and staying at Ylore, refusing to come back to her.
In her dreams, Ruby was pregnant with Elliot's baby and they seemed to be content with their lives. Avery could only stay at Aryadelle waiting for Elliot, she waited until all her hair turned white but Elliot was still nowhere to be found.
Until the very bitter end, she was still waiting for him on her death bed.
Avery woke up covered in cold sweat.
Avery picked up her phone and checked the time, she could not help but notice that it was 3 in the morning in Bridgedale.
No matter how hard Avery tried, she could not fall back asleep. Avery finally got back up and texted Elliot.
[I dreamed of you ] Much to Avery's surprise, Elliot replied her text almost immediately.

[Only Wesley can see that you don't do anything stupid ] Avery texted back [I can't believe that you would say that about me to Wesley! You'll pay for that!] [It'll have to wait till you're recovered.] replied Elliot.
Avery replied with: [I'm almost recovered. | just saw Hayden, Lilith, and Adrian. | feel so much better now.] Elliot: [You would feel even better when you go back to Aryadelle and see the kids] Avery: [That is up for contention. | might be so angry with the kids that | get a stroke. Also, my company is about to go bankrupt. It's only been a month since | left and my company has been completely dismantled by Wanda.] To be honest, the company going bankrupt did not bother Avery that much, what bothered her was that it was W;h! Elliot: [It's not your first time anyways, relax.] Avery: [Are you trying to comfort me? The last time my family went bankrupt, it had nothing to do with me. | have never ever encountered bankruptcy ever since | started my entrepreneurial journey!] Elliot: [Then this would be your first time. Relish in every new experience, you might learn a thing or two.] Avery: [I feel so much better now...] Elliot: [Go back to sleep ] Avery: [I can't sleep. What are you doing now? Are you sleeping with Ruby? How are the sleeping arrangements? Is Gary forcing the both of you to have a kid? How do you plan on getting the kid?] Elliot: [I'm eating breakfast. Ruby sleeps in the master bedroom. I sleep in the guestroom. I think Ruby is trying for a testtube baby] Avery finally relaxed when she read Elliot's message. [Elliot, | think if you don't have confidence in killing Gary, there's no need to force it. It's much more important for you to stay safe. After I'm out of the hospital, I'll think of a way to save you.] Elliot: [I'm so moved. You are thinking of saving me even when you can hardly walk without assistance.] Avery: [I can’t help but detect a hint of sarcasm in your texts.] Elliot smirked as he scrolled through his messages.
Ruby knew that Elliot was texting Avery, and only Avery could make Elliot smile.
Ruby could feel her heartache, she tried to pull Elliot back to her side, "Elliot, | have something | want to tell you." Elliot finally put his phone down and looked at Ruby.
"I... | think I'm pregnant," said Ruby, blushing as she shared this happy news with her husband.
