Chapter 554

“When the doctor asked me to abort the child, Elliot said nothing. If he said nothing, that meant he
tacitly agreed that the child should be given up.”

Avery took a deep breath and continued bitterly, “He is the child’s father, how could he treat his own
child so heartlessly?”

It took a great deal for Mike to finally utter, “Perhaps, he is used to listening to the doctors.”

“He never listens to the doctors. When he was sick, he would smoke and drink whenever he wanted. A
person like him, unless it was his own volition, if not, no one could make him listen. “ Avery’s eyelashes
fluttered. Her voice was hoarse.

“He clearly doesn’t want our unhealthy child!”

“Avery, don’t think of him that badly. I can’t say for other matters, but he truly has you in his heart.” Mike
wanted to avoid the topic of children.

“I know.” Avery sniffled. Her voice was nasal. “If he did not love me, he would not have come to rescue
me.”

Mike responded.

“Mike, I love him a lot too,” Avery choked up.

“I know. If you don’t love him, you wouldn’t have given birth to his child.” Mike furrowed his brows.
“Avery, what do you plan to do? Don’t tell me you’re planning to break up with him?”

“I don’t want to break up with him, but I don’t want this unhealthy child to leave a stain on him either.”
Avery’s eyes were hot. “I can’t abort this formed child. I can’t do it. I really can’t do it…”



“Don’t think about this now. No matter what you decide, I’ll always stand by your side.” Mike passed her
the box of tissues.

A while later, the car was at the hospital.

Mike brought Avery outside Wesley’s ward. Wesley’s mother, Sandra, came out of Wesley’s ward. She
looked at Avery coldly. “Avery, I want to talk to you in private.”

Avery followed Sandra to the corridors. They walked over to a place where there was no one and
stopped there.

The sunlight outside the window was a little piercing, Sandra looked out for a while before retracting
her gaze. “Avery. My son is like this now thanks to you.”

“Aunt Sandra I’m sorry.”

“What use is there being sorry? I only have one son. Do you know how upset I am now that he is in this
state?” Sandra said. Tears fell. “How much I liked you in the past is how much I hate you right now.
How dare you appear in front of us?”

“I just want to apologize to you and Mr. Brook, as well as Wesley.”

“We don’t accept your apology!” Sandra pointed at the lift. “Leave this place at once. Don’t let me see
you again in the future! I feel unlucky just looking at you!”

When Mike entered the ward, he looked at the pretty bouquet of sunflowers on the table. He asked,
“Did Shea send this?”

Wesley woke up a few days ago. He was in quite good spirits. Only his leg was broken so he could not
get out of bed.



“Hmm. She would send me a bouquet every day. I’m really grateful for her.”

“Wesley, you have such a good outlook. You’re still grateful to others even after such a serious injury,”
Mike lamented.

Wesley’s eyes were still bloodshot, but the light in his eyes brightened up quite a bit. “David Grimes is
dead. Avery and I are still alive. We won.”

“It’s good that you think of it this way. Avery is doing much worse than you,” Mike said while looking at
the door. “I’ll go have a look and see why she is not in yet.”

Mike walked out of Wesley’s ward, yet he only saw Sandra.

“Aunt Sandra, where is Avery?”

Sandra replied coldly, “I don’t know. My son needs to rest. Don’t bring her here again next time.” She
went into Wesley’s ward and shut the door.

Mike suddenly realized that even if Wesley did not blame Avery, that did not mean that Wesley’s family
would not blame her.

Avery had just come around. Her emotions were still unstable. Adding on the agitation from Sandra,
she must be in a lot of pain!

Mike immediately rushed to the lift. Avery did not have her phone or money with her. She was still
injured! Where could she have gone to?
