Chapter 57 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

Richard was too agitated. His words grew agitated with every passing second.

The bodyguard could not bear to hear them. He wanted to pull them apart. The two men began shoving each other.

At that moment, a nurse yelled from the ward.

“Dr. Shaw! Patient on bed thirty-eight is bleeding out!” The nurse ran out of the ward, yelling for the doctor. She needed him to handle the situation.

Elyette glanced inside. Zoe was lying on the bed. Her face was chalky, and she looked dead.

Elyette’s heart could not help but constrict. He walked into the room. The doctor measured the amount of blood she had lost, and then checked on her blood pressure. “The patient is losing too much blood! We have to stop the bleeding!”

Averie was at Tate Industries, and she was distracted. She would glance at her phone from time to time, checking for messages or calls.

What happened to Zoe? She did not know.

After waiting the entire morning to see whether the child lived or not, she was getting antsy for an answer. There should have been news by now.

Could the child be fine? If not, why had Elyette not called her and interrogated her? It would be the for the best if the child lived. She did not want any trouble.

“Averie, let’s go for lunch!” Mike yelled, pushing her office door open.

Averie shook her head. “I’m not hungry, you go ahead!”

“Then, I’ll bring food back for you. What do you feel like eating?” Mike asked concerned.

“Anything!”

“What’s going on? You seem down.” Mike walked over to her. He touched her forehead with his hand. “Are you having a fever? Who pissed you off?”

Averie looked at Mike and blurted out her worries. “This morning Rosalie called me over on behalf of Zoe. I have been set up.”

Then, the phone on her table rang.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from Elyette. Her heart constricted tightly.

She answered the call. She heard Elyette say, “Averie, do I have to go looking for you or are you going to come to the hospital?”

He sounded calm, but the calm masked an undercurrent of terrifying emotions.

Averie did not want him to come, nor did she want to go to the hospital to look for him. She did not want to see him!

“I did not push Zoe. At that time, I wanted to leave, but she did not let me leave, so I shook her off her arm. I did not push her! She fell on her own!” Averie blushed. She was defending herself.

“Are you telling me that aside from Zoe, my mother and everyone else at the house was wrong?” Elyette’s voice sounded ice-cold.

Averie sneered in her heart. She was lost in her emotions. “So, what if I pushed her? Are you going to avenge her?”

Elyette was silent for a few seconds. He had never thought that she could be this arrogant.

“Averie, this is a life you’re talking about!” he growled. “How could you be so coldblooded?”

“Is your son gone?” Averie took a deep breath. She saluted Zoe. “Is Zoe secretly laughing right now? Trading her son to set me up, no wonder she is the woman who is still by your side!”

Averie’s words carried a double meaning. Not only did she mean that Zoe was vicious and ruthless, but also that he possessed the same nature as her.

Elyette’s expressions darkened. “She is bleeding out, and the doctors are trying to resuscitate her. If this is all part of her plan, then not only did she risk her child, but she also risked her own life. Do you think that you are so smart now?”

Averie’s lips moved, but no words came out.

“Averie, this time, I will not go soft on you anymore!” Elyette said each word slowly before hanging up.

Averie held onto her phone. Her face was pale, and she felt weak as if someone had sucked up all her energy.

Mike looked at her, worried. From what she had said a moment ago, it seemed that things were serious. “Averie, what on earth happened?”

Averie quickly collected her emotions. “It’s fine. Go have lunch!”

“What do you mean it’s fine! I heard it all. Zoe had a miscarriage. Did she blame it on you? That shameless woman! She deserves to get beaten up!” Mike clenched his fist. He could no longer hold back his fiery temper.

“I don’t need you to beat her up. She is bleeding out, and they are trying to resuscitate her,” said Averie calmly. “I’m now even starting to think that I might have pushed her by mistake. And it is because of me that she is bleeding out. But if she did do it, then the price she is paying is too high.”

At her words, Mike furrowed his brows. “Is Elyette looking for trouble?”

“You don’t have to worry about me. Even if he comes for me, he won’t bury me with his son,” said Averie calmly.

“His son was not even born. So, it can’t really be called human! I used to study law!” boasted Mike. “But he might come for revenge, and he would fight you because of this.”

“Hmm, go for lunch!”

“But I’m worried for you.”

“Does your concern stop him from getting his revenge?” Averie stood up from her desk and pushed Mike out the door. “Bring some food back for me, thank you.”

“Averie, if he comes looking for you, you must call me. I will protect you,” Mike advised.

“Hmm.”

After Mike left, Averie sat down once again.

She clenched her fists tightly. Her mind started replaying the scenes of that morning.

Zoe had gotten Rosalie to contact Averie to meet her at the old Foster mansion. Once she had reached, every single word Zoe had said was provocative. It had easily infuriated her.

She had wanted to leave many times, but Zoe had refused to release her arm not allowing her to leave.

If Zoe had truly wanted to say something to her, she could have easily told it to her over the phone, and yet, she had taken the trouble to ensure that she was at the Foster mansion.

The more Averie thought, the more that she had felt that the entire situation had been a setup!

She too had given birth to children before. Technically, even if one were to suffer a fall, the end result would not have necessarily been a miscarriage, and even then, a miscarriage would not have resulted in a bleed out.

Zoe could not have predicted the hemorrhage that occurred, but the fact that she had gambled with the life of her child was proof that she did not have any feelings for it.

Zoe wanted to marry Elyette so badly, so how could she possibly not have feelings for the child?

Could the child be the problem? At that thought, Averie’s back was dripping with cold sweat.

It was five in the evening at Starry River Kindergarten.

This was the bodyguard’s first day on the job. Once he picked up the children, he brought them home.

“Uncle Bodyguard, can Hayden and I play outside for a while?” Layla looked up at him. She was trying to see where the boundary lay.

The bodyguard replied clearly, “Sure! I’ll take you out to play after dinner.”

Layla replied, “Oh! What are we eating for dinner? Are we ordering in or are you making dinner for us? What time do you finish work?”

The bodyguard said, “I get off work when your mom or uncle Mike gets home. If you’d like, I can cook you a meal.”

Layla muttered, “Then, do we have to go to the supermarket to get groceries? If you make meals for us, does my mom have to pay you double? But, if your cooking is bad, then does she not pay you double?”

The bodyguard laughed. “Your mom pays me enough for me to cookten meals a day for you two!”

Then, the bodyguard brought the two children to the supermarket.

At seven in the evening, the bodyguard received a call from Mike. Mike asked about the kids before saying, “I might be home late tonight. The kids go to bed at nine. If Averie and I are not back by then, you can end work.”

Mike could not locate Averie! He had gone to look for her so that they might go home together, but she was not in her office.

He had tried calling her, but she did not pick up. After a while, he tried calling her again, but she had turned her phone off!

Mike was so furious he wanted to swear! Elyette must have taken her away because Mike could not get to him either!
