Chapter 476 Avery’s heart ached at the sight of Elliot’s rigid back.
“Whether or not this baby makes it, I hope you can maintain a calm demeanor. The risk of a miscarriage is natural with every pregnancy, and not ever child comes to term
successfully.”
She said this because she had a bad feeling inside of her heart.
She had been pessimistic ever since she found out she was 25 pregnant.
She got pregnant while undergoing medical treatment. If it were not for luck being on her side, the child would not make it under normal circumstances.
Everything obtained from luck came with the possibility of9c loss.
Avery’s words hurt Elliot.
He turned to face her, then said, “Are you trying to make me feel better? Who exactly is the one who can’t stay calm? Didn’t you test me just now? Since you never wanted
this child in the first place, then let’s just act as if it’s already23 dead.”
Then, he turned and stormed out of the room.
After Elliot left, Mike entered the room and asked, “Why did he leave so soon? What did you talk about? He didn’t look like he was in a good mood. Did he really think the baby

Avery’s eyes were unfocused and she was lost in a daze.
“Mike… He’s actually… Not that awful to me… Is35 he?”
Mike placed his hands on his hips, took a deep breath, then said, “Do you have feelings for him again?”
Avery lowered her gaze. Her long lashes fluttered as she said, “When you told him the baby was gone, he told me to take care of my health and that he won’t force me to get
pregnant again.”
“When he’s rude to you, you think he’s the worst. Now that he’s showing a hint of kindness, you think he’s a saint. I’m worried you’ve got Stockholm syndrome or something,
Avery.”
Avery shot Mike a cold look.
“What are you glaring at me for? I’m just reminding you to keep your guard up no matter how nice he is to you.”
He pulled a chair up by the bed, then continued, “I’m begging you, Avery. No matter what you decide to do from now on, at least let me know about it! Won’t you cry yourself
to death if you lost the baby? Even if you weren’t pregnant, you shouldn’t have gone to confront Wanda Tate
like that! You want her dead, but she wants to kill you, too!”
Avery admitted that she had acted too recklessly that day.
It was a last minute decision to go see Wanda.
She could not bring herself to let things slide.
“I should’ve listened to you back then,” Avery said.
“Exactly! You should’ve listened to me in the first place! Everything I do is for your own good!
“I should’ve listened to you and hired a few more bodyguards. If I had gone to the hotel today with more bodyguards than Wanda had, she would’ve been the one being
thrown to the ground and not me,” Avery said.
Mike was absolutely speechless.
About half an hour later, Wanda appeared in Avery’s hospital room with her assistant , Faye Johnson to apologize.
Faye fell to her knees in front of Avery’s bed.
“I’m sorry, Miss Tate! It was all my fault! I’m disgusting! I deserve to die!” she cried as she slapped herself in the face again and again.
The sound of her palm smacking against her cheek echoed through the room.
Avery watched the performance, then shifted her gaze and landed her eyes on Wanda’s face.

here?”
Wanda’s smile didn’t reach her eyes when she said, “Why are you acting all innocent? Elliot Foster still cares about you even after you’ve broken up. Did you give him some
kind of love potion?”
“I see… In that case, why aren’t you on your knees!?!” Avery snapped as her voice grew louder. “Even if your assistant slaps herself rotten, nothing can hide the fact that you
were the one who orchestrated the entire thing!”
Elliot did not make Wanda come to apologize to Avery.
Avery needed rest, so he would not allow Wanda to disturb her peace during this crucial time in her recovery.
Wanda was the one who brought her assistant to apologize herself because she was concerned for Faye’s safety.
Who would have expected Avery to threaten her this way?!
Wanda was afraid of escalating things to the point of no return.
She clenched her jaw, then fell to her knees.
She silently swore in her heart that she would one day make Avery pay back today’s humiliation ten fold!
As Avery sat up in bed and watched Wanda kneeling in front of her, the unhappiness in her heart subsided.
