Chapter 496

Avery's mind went blank.She forgot everything she wanted to say.

"They're not even denying it! Hahaha!" teased Wesley's mother.

Wesley scratched his head, then awkwardly changed the subject.

"The results from the blood test should be out by the time we're done with lunch."

Avery nodded, then lowered her head and began to eat.

After lunch, Avery insisted that Wesley did not need t o accompany her back to the hospital to get her
results.She already felt bad for troubling him that morning.

Wesley's house was near the hospital, so Avery and Elliot walked to the hospital together.

"Why didn't you let me explain earlier? Do you find pleasure in ambiguity?" she mocked.

"We're not exactly close to Mrs.Brook, so there's no need to argue with her." Elliot walked by her side
as he kept his eyes peeled on their environment.

"You might not be close to her, but I am."

"Since you know her so well, you can explain things t o her at any time."

When the light at the crosswalk turned green, Elliot naturally grabbed Avery's hDDr%\wMN and led her
across the street.

"I can walk by myself," Avery said as she shook his hand off.



Then, she glanced coldly at him and said, "I will only admit that you are the father to my child.I won't
acknowledge any other connection with you."

"Even if you don't acknowledge me as the father of your child, it's the truth," Elliot reminded her.

"We just need to maintain this relationship." Avery had nothing to say.

They arrived at the hospital and got her the results from the checkup.

Avery went through each report in detail.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Elliot asked anxiously.

"Is what okay?" Avery said without looking up.

"Are these results yours or the baby's?"

Elliot did not understand much about these things, because Avery was now made up of two people.

Avery's eyes shot up as she said, "The baby's still tiny! We can only check on its condition through an
ultrasound for now."

"I see.These blood results are fine, right?"

"The results for syphilis and gonorrhea are going to take another week," Avery said as she shoved the
reports into her bag.

Elliot was taken aback, then comforted her and said, "It's impossible for you to get those diseases."

"Are you saying I'm a woman of virtue?" Avery said.



"Thanks, but no matter how virtuous I am, I could still catch the consequences of your promiscuity."
Elliot was speechless.

"I'm taking a cab home," Avery said.

''You can leave!"

She pulled out her phone and booked a cab online.

Elliot should have held her back and insisted on taking her home.

However, he was stunned for a good few seconds, and Avery had already walked away from him by
the time he snapped back to reality.

Her words hurt him deeply.

He did medical checkups every year.He was perfectly healthy and did not carry any of those nasty
diseases! Even so, Avery was still suspicious of him! That afternoon, Avery took a peaceful nap.

By the time she woke up and picked up her phone to check the time, it was already five in the
evening.She remembered their dinner with Elliot and quickly pulled back the covers.She fixed herself
up, then walked out of the bedroom.

The door to the children's room was open, and Layla's laughter could be heard from the hallway.

Avery walked in to find the room in a complete mess! Her brows instantly furrowed.

Layla's many clothes were usually kept in the closet, but her clothes were now scattered all over the
room. was wearing a white, puffy dress.It was her birthday gift from Tammy
the year before.



She loved it, and it immediately turned into her number one favorite dress.

Did Layla choose to wear this dress today because it was Children's Day, or because she was going to
meet her father tonight? At that thought, Avery could not bring herself to reprimand her daughter about
the mess.She had always known that Layla was a little fond of Elliot.

Not many people can resist a handsome, capable man after all.
