Avery's seemed much more stable than before.Although she still missed Tammy, her outlook of the world had changed with the birth of the baby. The child in her had been doing well, but the accident had hastened the birth.When the nurse showed her the baby, she wanted to cry, but she could not cry. She had run dry of tears.Avery blamed herself as she looked at the small baby. When Hayden and Layla were born, they were premature too. It was normal for twins to be born prematurely. The pregnancy term was shorter than usual. Robert was even smaller than Layla and Hayden.Although she knew that he would survive, she was still upset."Avery, does it hurt?" Elliot saw her in a daze, so he broke the silence.Avery shook her head gently. She had been injected with anesthesia before the surgery. The effects had not worn off yet, so she did not feel pain."Have you seen the baby?" Avery's eyes fluttered. Her voice was very soft."I saw him. He looks like me." Elliot gently held her

Tammy knew that as long as she was awake, she would forever think about what had happened to her.Her last shred of sanity told her that it was not her fault. She was aware that she could not take her own life. She knew that if she did, there would be no one to care for her parents. She was a princess. She had been born with a silver spoon in her hand, and she had never been hurt in her life. She had never been hurt not because she had been fortunate, but she had never been hurt because her parents had built a stone castle to keep her safe.Her parents would grow old one day. She had to survive to take care of them. This was her only motivation for surviving at that moment."Tammy, what are you saying? Divorce? I won't do it! I won't divorce you!" Jun was an agitated mess. His voice grew harsh. "I know you're very upset right now, but I will be with you—""I don't want you to be with me! I feel like puking at the sight of men right now! Leave! I want my mother to be with me! Leave!

Although Chelsea deserved to die, it was still shocking to see how cruel Elliot could be. If the hospital guards had not stopped him, Mike knew that Elliot would surely have beaten Chelsea to death. This was the man that Avery loved deeply. This was why she could not fall in love with other men. If other men were as ferocious as Elliot, she would have stayed far away from them.The guards had taken Chelsea away, disappearing into the rain. Mike walked over to Elliot's back and tapped him on the shoulders. "Today is the birth of your son. You don't need to get so angry."If Chelsea had not come looking for him, he would not have lost his temper. If Chelsea were honest about what she had done, he would not have been so angry either. He was furious because Chelsea lied through her teeth and tried to convince him into believing her lies.Elliot hated being lied to the most. "How dare she lie to me!" he thought."Don't tell Avery about the incident just now." Elliot looked less host

"I got hit," said Chelsea as her sobs turned into loud wails. "I see. Was it Elliot?""Who else would dare lay a finger on me besides him?" Chelsea lifted her head up slightly. She refused to let her tears fall. "Are you going to call me stupid? If I hadn't returned to his side, I wouldn't be suffering this kind of humiliation today.""What's the point of regretting it? People would just look down on you if you do." Charlie checked the time, then said, "Go home now. If you don't feel like going home, then stay at a hotel. I'll book a flight home.""Charlie, I'm giving up," sighed Chelsea in defeated exhaustion. "He almost killed me tonight. I don't want to give him anything, not even a single tear… He is not worthy!" Charlie laughed, "How many times have you said that before? You won't give up till you he is in your hands." "It's for real this time… He's got a son now. He doesn't need me anymore.""Get some rest, Chelsea." Charlie sounded utterly calm. "I recently came across

Avery took a sip of soup. It was delicious.Shea was the one who made it, and that meant more to Avery than how the soup tasted. Avery had been the one to operate on Shea, and she had never expected Shea to make such an extensive recovery. "The fish chowder is pretty good, Elliot. You should give it a try," Avery said.Elliot walked over to the table and poured himself a bowl of soup.He took a sip. The chowder was light and not oily. It indeed tasted good.His eyes landed on Shea.She had improved significantly since spending time with Wesley.Perhaps he should let her try out the things she wanted to do, including learning to drive.Meanwhile, at Starry River Villa, Mike had taken a few days off work.He could not get rid of Avery's pain from childbirth, but he could look after the house for her.During the day, while the kids were at school, he worked at home.Chad came over for lunch at noon."Let's go see Avery at the hospital after we eat!" he suggested."Sure.
