Everyone was engaging in heated discussion in the pantry.
Ben pushed the door open and walked in with a stern expression on his face.
“Chelsea Tierney was terminated because of a grave mistake.
It had nothing to do with Averie Tate.
Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to be gossiping like this about a woman who’s just given birth?”
“Sorry, Mr.Schaffer!
We just feel bad for Miss Tierney!”
“Even so, you shouldn’t be speculating maliciously about Averie Tate.” Ben continued assuredly, “Averie Tate has never involved herself in our company’s affairs.
Don’t speak ill of her at the offie again.
You’re all finished if Mr.
Foster hears about it!”
Everyone lowered their heads.
“You’ll get a new manager in a few days.
I’ll be in charge of everything in the PR department before that,” said Ben.
“Also, I came here to distribute some candy.
I’m sure you’ve all heard that Averie Tate’s given birth to Mr.
Foster’s son.
This is an incredibly happy occasion, so we should all celebrate together!”
Everyone’s faces instantly broke into smiles.
“Will Mr.
Foster and Averie Tate get married, Mr.
Schaffer?
“That’s between them, so I’m not too sure,” Ben said.
“If they do get married, I bet they’ll host a grand wedding.
You’ll all find out about it then.”
“Averie Tate really hit the jackpot in life!
She gave our boss a child, and it’s a son, too!” someone said enviously.
“Exactly!
I bet the boss will help her out if Tate Industries ever gets in trouble in the future.”
Ben teased, “Your boss might be rich and handsome, but Averie isn’t a powerless woman who would use her children to earn respect.
Do you really think your boss would fall in love with an average woman?
Stop watching too many soap operas.”
“Huh?
Isn’t the boss only with Averie Tate because she got pregnant?”
“What are you thinking?!
How could a mere child tie him down?
There are plenty of women in the world.
If he only wanted a child, he could’ve picked any woman to have a child with.”
Ben’s words enlightened everyone.
Simply put, a woman who was able to stay by Elyette Foster’s side was definitely not a gullible idiot.
Even if Chelsea was not fired, she was still no match against Averie Tate.
Three days later, Averie was able to walk around on her feet.
She requested to be discharged.
The doctor naturally disagreed.
If she had given birth naturally, then she could have been discharged after three days at the hospital.
However, a C-section was completely different.
“I’ll rest properly when I get home.
I’ll give myself anti-inflammatory shots, ” Averie said.
“I shouldn’t stick around and take up the hospital’s resources.”
The doctor was rendered speechless.
Moments later, the doctor issued a discharge slip for her.
Once they walked out of the hospital, Elyette helped Averie into the car.
“I want to see Tammy,” she said.
Elyette knew that the reason why she wanted to be discharged was definitely not to save the hospital’s resources.
“What if she doesn’t want to see you, Averie?”
“If she doesn’t want to see me when I get there, then I’ll go home.” Of course she would not force Tammy.
Elyette signaled the driver with his eyes.
The driver understood, then drove the car toward the hospital where Tammy was staying.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Elyette walked Averie to the door of Tammy’s room.
They first saw Jun.
Jun did not expect them to show up, so his reaction was slightly uneasy.
“Why are you staring around outside, Jun?” When Averie saw the haggard look on his face and the stubble on his chin, she instantly became nervous.
Jun’s lips parted, then he said bitterly, “I haven’t seen her in two days.
She wants a divorce.
There’s no room for discussion at all.”
Upon hearing those words, Averie’s heart ached so hard that it was difficult to breathe.
She knew that Tammy loved Jun very much.
If this had not happened, then she would never bring up divorce.
She not only harmed Tammy, she also harmed Jun.
“Go on in and see her!
I’ll come again tomorrow,” Jun said, then strode away.
When Elyette’saw Averie’s pale expression, he knew that he could no longer hide the truth from her.
He held her hand, then said, “Averie, I’m afraid Tammy can’t have children ever again.
That’s why she’s insisting on the divorce.”
The moment Elyette finished his sentence, Averie burst into tears!
Averie suddenly did not have the courage to enter the room.
She did not know how to face Tammy.
Tammy might have been afraid of giving birth, but it took a long period of internal struggle for her to decide that she wanted children.
In the end, she became infertile.
It must have been such a giant blow to her!
It must also have been a massive blow to Jun!
“This has nothing to do with you, Averie.
Aunt Mary doesn’t blame, and neither will Tammy.” Elyette said softly as he reached out to wipe Averie’s tears off her face.
“Go on in and talk to her.”
“I don’t know what to say… Elyette, I don’t know how to talk to her…” Averie sobbed.
“I can’t face her like this.”
At that moment, the patient’s room door suddenly burst open.
When Mary saw the two of them standing at the door, she said in surprise, “When did you two get here?
Did you already get discharged from the hospital so soon, Averie?” Averie quickly composed herself, then said, “Yes, I’ve been discharged.
That’s why I came to see Tammy.
I won’t bother her if she’s asleep.”
“She’s not sleeping right now.
She made me come out here to see if Jun was still around,” said Mary as she glanced around.
“He just left,” Averie said.
“Alright.
Wait right now.
I’ll go in and let Tammy know you’re here!” Mary turned and walked back into the room.
