He strolled towards the living room and stood still to wait for Avery to approach.
“What else do you want to talk about?” She walked towards the stairs, longing to go upstairs to rest.
“Are you going to sleep?” He studied her slim frame and lowered his defense.
“Yeah. We can talk first, though, if that’s what you25 want.”
Avery remained standing by the stairs with the sole intention of staying away from him, as her heart ached
whenever she caught onto his scent. It was so familiar, yet destiny had made it so that their hearts were miles
apart.
“Go to sleep!” He sat down on the couch. “I will leave in agc while.”
“Oh…” She looked away from him and went upstairs.
Elliot stood up from the couch as soon as Avery was upstairs. He finally realized how self centered and selfish he

everything he could and blamed her for not accepting him, when the truth was that what he gave was not what she
wanted; and he had never once given her what she truly23 wanted.
After half an hour, Elliot assumed that Avery was asleep and unlocked his phone to call his family doctor.
“Congratulations on becoming a father, Mr. Foster,” the doctorza said.
The hospital that Elliot had taken Avery to was the one where his family doctor worked.
“Is there a way to ease the morning sickness?” Elliot scowled and35 asked.
“No,” the doctor responded, “she will have to make it past it on her own. Usually, the symptoms would improve
when the pregnancy progresses to around twelve to sixteen weeks. Miss. Tate is currently eight-weeks into her
pregnancy, so she should feel better after a month.
“She has lost so much weight that she barely looks human.” Elliot clenched his fists, as his voice tightened up as
well.
“That bad, huh? We can put her on IV if she really can’t eat. She’s a doctor, too, so she should know; unless she
doesn’t want the child…”
“Indeed, she doesn’t want the child.”
“Huh? Why not?”
“He hates me,” Elliot paused briefly, before continuing, “but I won’t let her get rid of the
child.”
“Well, women often become more emotional when they are pregnant due to the change in hormones. Perhaps it’s
not that Miss. Tate doesn’t want the child, she is simply in pain and doesn’t know what to do about it,” the doctor
assured, “she will need you to care for her with patience at times like this.”
“She doesn’t want to see me.”
“…If that’s the case, then it’s best that you leave her be for the time being.”
“I can’t do it,” he concluded after thinking it through.

wide open, unable to fall asleep.
‘He’s still there. I wonder what he’s doing downstairs. I don’t even know what he’s thinking,’ she thought. ‘Did he
insist on keeping our child because he wants to be a father, or because he wants me to compensate for the baby
he had with Zoe?’
‘Once the child was born, do I really give it to Elliot? Can he even raise a child? He has such a bad temper and gets
angry easily, so I can’t rest assured knowing that the child is with him.’
Countless thoughts crossed her mind and she felt as though her head was about to explode.
Just then, she heard footsteps approaching from outside the door. Without a doubt, she knew it was Elliot.
Avery immediately closed her eyes.
The door was pushed open and Elliot strode towards the bed.
She had thought that he only came in to check on her, but he sat down; not only did he sat down, he then lied down
next to her.
