Chapter 495

Elliot was standing as straight and as still as a statue a t the front gate of Avery's house.

Avery's heart began to pound wildly against her chest! She rushed back to the side of her bed and
picked up her phone to check if Elliot had called or left any text messages.He did not.He did not contact
her at all that morning.

When did he arrive? Why was he here this early? If she had not noticed him, would he have waited
silently out there the entire time? Avery quickly changed into a dress from her closet, then rushed down
the stairs.

When the front door of the villa opened, Elliot's deep set, hawk-like eyes looked over.

Dressed in a white dress, Avery slowly walked out of the house.

Elliot lifted his wrise and glanced at the time on his watch.

It was only seven in the morning.

Why was Avery ups o early? Do pregnant women not tend to suffer from lethargy? Avery arrived at the
front of the yard and opened the gate.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she gave Elliot a once over.

His bloodshot eyes told her that he most likely did not sleep much the night before.

"I came to pick you up," Elliot croaked.

"It's still early.You should get some more sleep."



"I can't go back to sleep now that I'm awake."

"Shall we go get some breakfast, then?" he suggested.

"I'm supposed to fast for one of the tests later," Avery replied.

"Let's go to the hospital now, then!"

Elliot was worried she might get hungry if they dragged things on for too long.

Avery nodded, then turned into the house to grab her things.

Moments later, she emerged with her bag.

Once she got in the car, she did not immediately fasten her seatbelt, but said, We're going to Elizabeth
Hospital."

"Okay."

Avery did not expect Elliot to agree to this so easily.

Elizabeth Hospital was Wesley's workplace, DAp&&123;uNJ she remembered that Elliot was not his biggest
fan.

Once she fastened her seatbelt, they began their car journey.

It was not even eight in the morning when they arrived at the hospital.

Wesley was waiting at the hospital in advance, and had already arranged for a series of routine tests.

"Let's draw some blood first," he said as he led them toward the lab.

"Did you ask Wesley to come to the hospital this early, Elliot?"



Avery asked softly as she and Elliot trailed along behind Wesley.

"He told me to let him know when we were on our way," Elliot responded in the same soft tone.

"Have you guys been in touch?" Avery asked in surprise.

"We've been in touch for a while." Elliot's answer made her think of Professor Hough.

Time was a cruel mistress. of the things that happened in the past were
brushed aside and slowly forgotten with time.

Avery almost forgot that Elliot knew Professor Hough way before she did.

He had given it his all for the sake of Shea's illness.

It was noon once all the tests were done.

Wesley invited Avery and Elliot to his house for lunch.

Once there, Wesley's mother took a look at Elliot, then said with a smile, "You're an exceptional man,
Mr.Foster.I'd choose you, too, if I was Avery."

Both Elliot and Avery blushed.

"Don't just say whatever you want, Mom.Their relationship isn't what you think it is," Wesley said.

Wesley's mother let out a bitter chuckle, then said, "With your emotional intelligence, you can
practically say goodbye to any chance of love.Why would they be having a baby together if they were
not in that kind of relationship?"

Wesley was at a loss for words.



Avery felt uneasy and was about to explain.

At that moment, Elliot held onto her hand tightly under the table.Avery's body instantly began to burn
up.
