“You only know how to protect your boss!” Mike said in annoyance and hung up.
Averie was at the hotel, and she thought that she was going to die.
What was worse than hunger was how rough Elyette was with her. He seemed to have an abundance of energy when it came to torturing her.
At two in the morning, there was a knock on the door. Elyette stopped what he was doing. Averie pulled the covers over her body.
Elyette put on a robe and walked to the door.
“Mr. Foster, Miss Sanford has come around. She’s asking to see you,” the bodyguard said.
Elyette turned around and looked at the messy bed. “All of you stay here. Don’t let her escape.”
“Yes, sir!”
Averie’s eyes reddened. She was completely infuriated. He had already spent the night with her! Why not let her go?
“Elyette! What makes you think you can keep me here?!” She wrapped the sheets around herself, dragged her sore body out of bed, and shouted at Elyette.
Elyette walked over to her, picked her up, and placed her back on the bed.
His unique scent wafted across her. “I’ll let you go after twenty-four hours. What if you take contraceptives? Then, all my efforts tonight will go to waste?”
Averie grabbed Elyette by his robe and looked at him coldly with reddened eyes. “Whether I decide to take contraceptives or not is my right! Don’t push it! If you do, you’ll get nothing!”
Her shrill voice pierced through the dark.
His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed.
“Give me my phone!” Averie looked at his long neck. If he was not going to comply, she was going to bite him!
“Averie, you better heed my words.” Elyette’s eyes darkened. He said hoarsely, “If you dare to take any contraceptive pills, we’ll sleep be sleeping together forever!”
He then returned her phone. Once Averie was in possession of her phone, she immediately jumped off the bed. She picked her clothes up and quickly put them on.
Before he left, she bolted the door!
It was half-past two in the morning, and there were not many cars on the road. The night breeze took her exhaustion away.
Averie turned on her phone. There were dozens of missed calls, and all of them were from Mike. She wanted to return his calls, but how was she going to explain things when she returned home?
The incident that had taken place last night was too absurd. When she had thought about it, she felt rather the entire thing was rather surreal.
Elyette was in Zoe’s ward at three in the morning. When Zoe saw him, she began to cry.
Elyette took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears off her face.
“Zoe, stop crying.”
“Our child… is gone. I’m… So… sad. It’s all my fault. I… didn’t protect him well…” Zoe was sobbing hard. If she kept it up she might suffocate.
“You’ll still have children in the future,” Elyette comforted her. “You need to rest.”
Zoe looked at him with teary eyes. “But I can never have any more children! Elyette, our child died so horribly! He was almost a fully formed baby!”
“I know.”
“It’s Averie,”
“Why did you want to meet Averie?” Elyette interrupted her. “You got my mother to call her over. Was it necessary to get her to come to the house?”
Zoe’s tears fell harder. “I regret it, Elyette! I should not have been so reckless! You canceled our engagement the day before You said you loved her, and I lost it. I decided to take myself out of the picture, but I wanted to see her and settle things between us. I hoped that after you two got together, she would still accept our child. The child is innocent-“.
Elyette looked at Zoe’s aggrieved face. He asked, “So she pushed you?”
Zoe took a deep breath. “Maybe seeing our child provoked her? She probably still loves you, so she could not bear seeing our child. I never thought that she could do such evil —”
Elyette’s expressions darkened instantly. If what Zoe said was true, then Averie was indeed vile.
“Now, every time I close my eyes, I see our child covered in blood, crying terribly. He keeps calling to me, asking me to help him-”
“Zoe! Stop talking!” Elyette interrupted her. “The child is dead. You’re in pain now. It’s pointless.”
“Elyette, is our child going to just die for nothing?” Zoe sobbed and said softly.
“I’ll look for Averie! You just get better!”
“Okay, I’m relieved to hear that!” Zoe took a deep breath. “I’m sorry for calling you over so late…”
“It’s fine.” Elyette looked at her pale face. He felt a little pity for her. “Rest well. I’ll visit you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Coming out of the hospital, Elyette asked the bodyguard, “Where did the dead baby go?”
“Zoe’s father took the baby to the crematorium to be cremated.”
Elyette furrowed his brows. He had wanted a paternity test to be done, but that was impossible now.
The bodyguard continued, “Mr. Sanford was extremely agitated. I wanted to help him, but he thought I wanted to take the child away from him. He began to fight me
I wanted to help him on the way. He thought that I wanted to take the child away from him. He fought me.”
Elyette’s eyes darkened. He got in the car.
The next morning, the family doctor received a call and rushed to Elyette’s mansion.
Elyette had not slept the entire night. His eyes were red. He looked a little terrifying.
“Mr. Foster, I heard that Miss Sanford had a miscarriage,” The doctor tried comforting him,” You and Miss Sanford are still young. There are still plenty of chances in the future.”
“I did not ask you here for this.” Elyette drank some coffee. “The person who operated on Eric Santos was Averie.”
The doctor was stunned. “You mean your ex-wife, Miss Tate?”
“Yes. What do you think about that?”
The doctor adjusted his glasses. “Although I knew that Miss Tate was a pupil of Professor Hough, I still find it hard to believe. After all, brain surgery is no small matter.”
“How can I find out what she is truly capable of?” Elyette asked.
The doctor shook his head. “If you did not see her perform the surgery and she does not say anything, I don’t think you will truly know what she is capable of.”
“Eric said that Professor Hough devised the treatment. If you were given the treatment plan, would you dare perform such a complicated surgery on any of your patients?”
The doctor was stumped by Elyette’s questions. “Mr. Foster, why don’t you ask her?”
Elyette furrowed his brows. “If I could get an answer from her, why would I be talking to you?”
“Oh, if Professor Hough had given me the treatment plan, I would perform the operation, but I can’t guarantee that it would be a success.” The doctor had answered Elyette’s question and then added, “Miss Tate succeeded. It proves that she has outstanding skills. I just don’t know who is better: Miss Tate or Miss Sanford.”
Elyette lowered his gaze. “Even if her skills are great, she would not cure Shea.”
The doctor said, “In my opinion, Miss Sanford has sufficient skills, sò if Miss Tate is unwilling to help you, you can continue seeking help from Miss Sanford.”
Elyette nodded.
“The child. If it has been cremated, can a paternity test still be done?” asked Elyette.
The doctor shook his head. “Were you planning to conduct a paternity test on Miss Sanford’s child? Once the child has been cremated, you won’t be able to get any samples. Naturally, a paternity test will no longer be possible. Are there any other samples that you can get?”
“The incident happened too suddenly. By the time I got to the hospital, her father had already taken the child.”
