Chapter 555


    Coming out of the inpatient unit, Mike searched around but he did not see Avery anywhere.


    He dialed Elliot in despair. "Elliot! Come to the hospital quickly! Avery got lost!"


    Elliot immediately rushed out of the mansion. "What happened?"


    "Wesley''s mother talked to her in private. I am sure that Sandra must have said some harsh words to


    Avery!" Mike stood in the huge yard of the hospital and looked around. "It''s my fault! I was talking to


    Wesley in his ward, so she must have left!"


    Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. "She shouldn''t have gone far. Keep watch at the entrance right now!"


    Avery got out of the lift and aimlessly walked to the outpatient building. There were a lot of seats there.


    She was tired, so she found an empty seat and sat down.


    All around her were patients or their families. A couple was there bringing their sick child to see the


    doctors.


    "I already said I didn''t want the child, yet you insisted! Look at it now. We have toe to the hospital


    every few days! Do you know I''m busy! This is thest time I''lle with you to the hospital!" The man


    sat in the chair and reproached his wife with the child in her hands.


    "I don''t want the child to be sick. What use is there ming me? This is your child too. If you don''t


    have to see the doctors today either!" The man said and stormed off!


    The woman stood in the same spot and sobbed with the child in her hands. In the end, the woman


    gave up. She ced her child on the chair and left.


    Avery looked at the abandoned female baby. Her nose was sore. She got up from her chair and wanted


    to pick up the wailing child.


    "Don’t touch my baby!" The heartless mother returned.


    Avery saw her take her child away and she was deeply moved.


    "Avery!"


    Nearby, someone called out her name out loud. She looked toward the source of the sound and saw


    Elliot running over to her anxiously.


    When he was in front of her, he held her arms tightly. "Avery, Wesley''s injuries are not caused by you.


    Don''t listen to what others say."


    "Hmm." Avery looked at Elliot''s sleep-deprived face. She lowered her gaze. "Let''s go."


    Elliot picked her up in his arms.


    Avery looked at his familiar face up close in a daze. Up till that point, she was sure that she still loved


    this man deeply. She did not want to see him being tied down by life''s trivial matters. She hoped that he


    was always the beacon of light shining brightly!


    Elliot carried her to the car >d+=YMX< patiently buckled her seat belt.


    "Elliot, when are you nning to return to Aryadelle?" Avery looked at Elliot''s handsome side profile


    and asked.


    Elliot looked up and met her gaze. "Once you''ve recovered, we''ll return together."


    Avery shook her head. "Why don''t you go back right now! Elliot, my heart has seemed to have be


    handicapped.


    Looking at how well you treat me, I should love you even more, but right now, I''m afraid. I really want to


    run away. I don''t know what to do. I don''t want to drag you down, so I beg of you, go back! Return to


    where you belong."

    Elliot looked at Avery''s pale face and said painfully, "You''re not afraid, nor are you running away. It’s


    just that in your heart, the child is far more important than me. You think that I will not treat our child


    well. You don''t have confidence in me. You think a jerk like me should just end up alone!"
