Chapter 1339


    "You don''t know the answer,"ughed Avery. "So you still don''t remember me. I''m still d, though, that


    your attitude towards me has improved so much even if you don''t remember me. If I continue to stay


    here, you will fall in love with me once again."


    "Avery, is this the right time to talk about this?"


    "What else should we talk about? About you and Ruby Gould?" Avery was on the verge of a mental


    breakdown. "She is so obedient to you that I feel like her love for you rivals my love.


    "Are you enjoying this? You are out having fun, and you are able to keep your family at the same time,"


    she said sarcastically. "If this carries on, sometime soon... I will give up."


    Elliot tightened his fingers around the phone.


    "I will wait until the end of this month, at most. If you insist on remaining in Ylore, I will give up. You


    won''t have to fight for over custody of the children, since your wife is very young. I''m sure she will be


    willing to bear you a dozen children," she said, giving him her ultimatum.


    Elliot ignored her sarcasm. "Avery, are you saying that you won''t leave until the end of this month?"


    "The end of the month isn''t that far away." Her blood ran cold because she could sense from his tone


    that he would not leave Ylore with her even if she waited until the end of the month. He had made


    himself clear the entire time and had told her that he would not leave Ylore anytime soon. At the very


    least, he would not leave with her unless he recovered his memories.


    In the end, neither of them remembered who had hung up first.


    Avery tossed and turned in her bed when suddenly her lower abdomen felt heavy.


    She pulled up the calendar on her phone and checked the date. She realized that she was a weekte.


    Perhaps it was caused by stress and hormonal imbnce from recent events.


    She got out of bed and headed for the supermarket to get some sanitary products. As soon as she


    walked out of the elevator, she ran into Jed. "Where are you going?" Jed looked Avery up and down.


    He held a stic bag. "I thought Hayden had settled down, so why do you still look this pale?''

    "Hormonal imbnce," she said with resignation, "I guess I''ve been too stressedtely."


    "Have you considered that this might be because of your condition?" Jed said sternly. "Should I


    apany you to the hospital for a check-up? Even if the hormonal imbnce isn''t the result of your


    condition, you still need medicine for that."


    "It''s not that bad, Jed," she dismissed him casually, "I used to-"


    "What you are used to is in the past. The present is different. You were younger, you had a better


    immune system, there was no tumor in your head. Stop dismissing your health!" said Jed, finally giving


    voice to the thoughts that had been swirling inside his head. "This might sound bad, but if you die, your


    kids will have to live with Elliot. Do you want them to have a stepmother? Ruby Gould might look gentle


    on the surface, but who knows whether she will torture your kids in private?"


    Jed''s words sent chills down her spine. She had no fear of death, but she could not stand her children


    having a stepmother. Avery had experienced life with a stepmother, and she was still suffering from the


    trauma Wanda had inflicted on her as a child.


    "Let''s go for a check-up, then!" she said.


    The two arrived at the hospital and the doctor gave her a receipt for the ultrasound.


    Shortly after that, she fell asleep.
