This topic easily diverted Elyette’s attention.
“Have you ignored me again!” Elyette was extremely dissatisfied with her parenting skills.
“Elyette, I know what you’re worried about, but children need to be respected too. If you have a better way of getting Layla to change her mind, I won’t stop you.” Averie did not want to fight with him, so her tone was gentle. “I’ll keep the card that you gave me. When you fall in love with another person, I’ll return it to you.”
Elyette smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly. “I don’t think you’ll see that day.”
“Don’t be so sure.” Averie walked toward the lift. Elyette followed behind her.
He thought that she wanted to go home. Turns out, coming out of the hotel, she headed to the pharmacy next door.
He thought that she was going to buy anti-inflammatory medication to put on her damaged scalp, but she bought two medically used facial masks instead. She paid and passed the masks to him.
“Take this home and use it.”
“Do you think my face is the one that’s hurt?” Elyette did not accept the bag. He left out the following sentence, but Averie understood what he meant.
Averie forcefully stuffed her bag in Elyette’s hands. “Elyette, the child just moved in my tummy. Every word you say to him right now he can hear it.
Elyette looked at her in a daze as if he had just been electrocuted.
“Can I touch your tummy?” He asked hoarsely.
“It’s not moving right now. He is still quite small right now, and doesn’t move quite a lot.”
This was her second pregnancy. It was different from her first time. The first time, because she was afraid to let him know, so every reaction during her pregnancy term, she secretly bore it on her own. Fear was much more overpowering than the joy of being a mother.
However, during the pregnancy this time, she could thoroughly enjoy the entire process.
Elyette put his large palms on her tummy. The warmth in her hand spread over to Averie. Her body suddenly tensed up.
Perhaps the child in her sensed her nervous feelings, so he kicked hercd tummy!
“He moved again!” Averie could not help but exclaim.
“I felt it!” Elyette’s emotions were affected by her too. Instantly, all the darkness in him vanished, replaced by light. “Does itge hurt?”
“No. He isn’t that strong right now.”
“Hmm. Are you hungry? I’ll get you something.” At that moment, the excitement burning in his heart has put the grudge he had against her aside. He only wanted to treat her23 well.
“I’m not hungry. If you’re hungry, let’s return to the hotel!” Averie said.
“Okay.” Elyette helped her along and returned to the hotel. Averie did not expect that they would stop fighting because of the baby kicking inside her. It was as strange as when they both started fighting for whatever reason.
At the old Foster mansion, Zoe called Cole into the room and closed the door.
“Cole, you said that you have reconciled with Averie. Do you treat me as a fool? You’re so afraid of your uncle, will you dare do anything with her? Don’t you know how big her tummy is right now?” Zoe mocked, “Your affair with her right now, what are you doing that for? For excitement?”
Cole condescendingly reproached Zoe. “Zoe, look at you right now. How undignified.”
“Heh. Do you know Nora?” Zoe looked at him and questioned, “The woman that you were hugging in the nightclub was Nora, right?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Zoe, don’t think that just because you’re pregnant with my child, I won’t dare to do anything to you!” Cole was losing patience. “If you can’t accept my relationship with her, just f*ck off!”.
“Haha! I’m going to tell Elyette! I’m going to look for him right now!” Zoe decided to fight till the end.
Cole immediately tugged her back and slapped her!
“Have you forgotten how Grandma died? Do you want me to call my uncle right now?” Cole threatened coldly, “We are on the same boat. If this boat capsizes, we’ll die together!”
Zoe clutched her burning cheek. She was utterly disappointed! Was this her retribution for doing bad things?
The next day, Zoe had a nightmare. In her nightmare, she had been tied up on all four limbs. She can’t move. Just when she opened her eyes, she saw a man in black with a sharp dagger.
The man was pressing onto her head with one hand while stabbing into her eye with the dagger and gouged her eyeballs out!
“Ah-!” Zoe screamed miserably!
This was not a dream! This was real! Both her eyeballs have been gouged out!
“Zoe, this is what you get! Hehe!” A familiar voice rang out.
Zoe exhaled in despair. Her body turned cold! It was Averie! It was Averie’s voice!
That vicious woman! How dare she gouged her eyeballs!
Zoe’s world was suddenly dark. She has become blind! She could no longer go out and work. Her life was completely ruined!
She was disappointed and only wanted to die. However, at that moment, she could not even see anything! Even death has become a luxury!
This matter was spread to Elyette that night.
Henry called him and explained the incident roughly. He had to tell Elyette because this has to do with Averie.
“Zoe’s situation is very unstable. When she’s asleep, she’s still fine but once she wakes up, she starts screaming. She keeps saying that Averie gouged her eyeballs…”
Elyette said firmly, “I pity her situation, but Averie would not do such a thing.”
“Yes, I don’t think Averie would be that cruel too, but I’m worried for Zoe. She is still pregnant with Cole’s child. Although the child is not affected right now, if her mental state continues like that, I’m afraid that it would affect the child.” Henry keptcd sighing.
“I’ll come over right now.” Elyette furrowed his brows tightly.
On the way to the hospital, he looked at his phone and searched for Averie’s contact. He wanted to call and ask her, but after a moment of hesitation, he did not press the callge button.
There was no way she could have done that, so he did not want to disturb her with this matter.
However, who else would have done it?
Zoe was now pregnant with Cole’s child. Her life was revolving around Cole. Logically speaking, she should not have offended anyone. Could it be Cole’s enemies?
The car arrived at the hospital, and he came to the inpatient unit. Before reaching Zoe’s war, she heard her agonizing shrill screams.
“I want to kill Averie! I’m going to kill her! She turned me blind! I will never let her go even if I become a ghost!
“Woo, woo, woo… I’m blind. I can’t seek revenge anymore. Let me die! Just let me die! I beg you all!
“Where’s my dad? Where is my dad? Have you called him already? Why is he not here yet? Does he not want me anymore? Even he despises me!”
Elyette stood outside the door listening to Zoe’s miserable wails. He had mixed feelings.
