Back then, Elyette was fighting for a divorce. Now, things were different. She was financially independent. She could raise the children herself. It did not matter if it was one, two, or three; she could raise them all.
However, should she tell him about this matter?
After all, back when Zoe had a miscarriage, he blamed it all on her, insisting that she give him a baby in return. Although they were no longer in contact, what if he tried to get in contact with her because she had not given him a child?
Mike saw her panic through the corner of his eyes. He immediately closed the distance between them and glanced at her phone.
Averie pressed the power button of her phone. The screen immediately went black.
“Is there any problem with your report? Your expression is quite scary.” Mike wanted to take her phone, but Averie swerved.
“I’m fine… I’m only slightly anemic.” Averie found some random excuse. “Right, I have something to do in the afternoon, I won’t be in the office.”
She had to go to the hospital. She needed to see if the results were wrong.
Mike had a look of suspicion on his face. “What’s going on?”
“It’s private. Can you not be so nosy? I won’t ask about your private life too.”
“I never hid my private life from you!”
“Well, I do. So, I can’t tell you what it is for now,” said Averie flatly.
“Then, when will you tell me?”
The elevator doors opened, and Averie walked out.
“I’ll tell you when I want to.”
Mike replied, “Averie, are you going to look for Elyette behind my back? Don’t go seeking death! He might have stabbed himself this time, but the next time, it will surely be you!”
Averie’s head felt numb when she heard what Mike said.
“I’m not going to look for him.”
“Oh, okay, then! As long as you’re not looking for him, I don’t care about the rest,” Mike explained.
Averie said, “Even if I’m going to look for him, you can’t stop me anyway.”
Mike furrowed his brows.
“I’m joking! What are we having for lunch?” Averie tugged on Mike’s arm. “Why don’t we have something lighter! Did the doctors stop you from drinking because you have stomach problems or liver problems?”
Averie managed to distract Mike.
“My body is still strong!” Mike said defiantly.
“Oh, is it? Then, let’s go drinking.”
Mike caved in. “My stomach has some problems. Stomach issues. Many of them have it.”
“Don’t take stomach problems lightly.” Averie’s expression was a little cold. She tilted her head up slightly to look at him. “You have to stop drinking. Even if it is an occasional drink, you can’t drink too much. Do you hear me?”
“I got it! Where are you going this afternoon? I’ll send you!”
“No need. I’ll call a taxi.”
Mike stopped asking her questions.
After lunch, they went their separate ways. Averie got into a taxi. She asked to be taken to the nearby hospital.
Then, she opened the medical report and looked through it once again.
They had detected her pregnancy from the blood test. The results were probably correct unless the doctor had mislabeled the blood sample and given her the wrong results.
However, with modern medical procedures, such mistakes were rare. The act could have been a deliberate one. Averie gasped. She placed her palms on her abdomen.
In Averie, a small life was growing. However, up till that point, she did not feel anything at all. When she was pregnant with Layla and Hayden , her early pregnancy symptoms were rather obvious.
At that thought, a new problem cropped out.
When she was pregnant with the child, she was in utter depression. Also, because of her injuries, she had been on a lot of antibiotics.;
Averie furrowed her brows. She was so heartbroken she could not breathe!
Even if she got pregnant with the child, this child would most likely be unhealthy!
The taxi stopped right in front of the hospital entrance.
Averie paid and got out of thead taxi.
She registered with the gynecology department. After explaining her situation to the doctor, the doctor gave her an ultrasound request form. She took the form to the ultrasound room and waited.
After 40 minutes later, it was her turn. A moment later, she left the hospital with the results in her hand.
As she expected, she was pregnant! She was once again pregnant with Elyette’s child! She did not know if this child was healthy or not at that moment because it was still too small. If the child was unhealthy, naturally, it would be eliminated. She did not need to wait for three months to be miscarried.
It would be possible that the child would be unhealthy and last more than three months. She would only be able to find out after the checkup.
Averie’s mind was a mess at that moment. She did not know what to do. If Elyette did not want this child, she could choose to abort it, because there was a high possibility that it would be unhealthy.
However, she would only decide after three months.
Should she let Elyette know? Should she let him know now?
Averie stood by the side of the road, looking at the traffic. She was very lost. At Tate Industries, Mike was holding a business card in his hand. He looked at it and sized the other person up.
“You’re Eric Santos’ manager?”
“Yes. Eric has asked me to come and talk to you.” The manager explained his intention there and explained, “His comeback single is called Fly. Initially, we wanted to publish it on the internet. With his fame and outreach, this song will be a hit! But, he insisted on giving Tate Industries this single.”
Mike furrowed his brows. “Giving them to us?”
“He said that he wrote it for Tate Industries. You could use this song to promote a certain series of products, you can also use it as your company’s anthem because the lyrics to this song fit rather well with your products.”
Mike nodded. “I have not listened to his new song. Is it any good?”
The manager was rather annoyed.
Mike said, “Has he talked to Averie? Averie is the boss.”
“Miss Tate likes this song a lot, but she might not accept Eric’s gift.”
“Oh, we can pay! Make it a collaboration.” Mike was not so fixated on whether Eric’s new song was great or not anymore. His fame was the most important thing.
The manager nodded. “I do think this way is better, but Eric is not willing to accept money from you.”
Mike said, “Then, just put it as a friendship price! If not Averie would not accept this too.”
The manager replied, “Okay. Wonder Technologies has cropped up recently. They are doing drones too and they are coming on strong! Not only have they signed the hottest celebrities as their spokesperson, but they also got a lot of social media influencers to live stream as well. I checked their sales, it’s amazing! Why does your company not have any promotional activities?”
Mike said, “So Eric gave us this single because he could not bear to watch how our company is doing?”
The manager said, “I guessed so. He is even more worried about the growth of the company than you all.”
Mike took a deep breath. He had a 180-degree change in his impression of Eric. This babyface was not only handsome, but he was also smart.
The next time he visits Averie, Mike would definitely open the door for him.
At five in the evening, Averie took a taxi to Elyette’s mansion. She hesitated for the entire afternoon. She decided to tell the news of her pregnancy to Elyette. After all, he insisted on having this child.
When the guard saw Averie, he thought he must be hallucinating. She had fought so terribly with Elyette. How dare she still show herself?
Previously, when the guard saw her, he would immediately let her in. At that moment, the guard did not open the door for her.
The guard called the internal phone in the living room. Mrs. Cooper picked the phone up. —
“Averie Tate is here. She’s standing outside the gate,” The guard said.
Mrs. Cooper was stunned. “Oh, I’ll go have a look.” After hanging up, Mrs. Cooper strode outside to have a look.
Previously, the skies were still cloudless, at that moment, it was dark and cloudy.
