Chapter 551

Of course, Elliot would pick Avery. He did not want to give up on the child, but he had no other choice.
Their child was almost four months old. If this accident did not happen, they could see what the child
looks like in the next maternity check-up!

“Okay, Mr. Foster, please sign this risk disclosure form.” The doctor took a form and passed it to him.

“Does the patient have to be anesthetized for bullet removal surgery? Anesthesia would affect the
child. If you’re thinking of keeping the child, we can forgo the anesthesia for the patient.”

“Wouldn’t that hurt a lot!” Elliot obviously wanted to keep the child, but at the thought of the surgery
without anesthesia, Avery would definitely be in a lot of pain!

“Yes, it would hurt, but it would pass soon,” The doctor said.

“She’s already so weak right now, I don’t want her to suffer any further pain.” Elliot felt his heart torn
into pieces. He was so heartbroken that even breathing hurt.

“Please use anesthesia for her.”

“Okay.” The doctor accepted the signed risk disclosure form from him, turned, and headed into the
emergency room.

Elliot quickly collected his thoughts. Although he might have to sacrifice the child, at least Avery would
be fine.

If something were to happen to her, their child would not have survived as well, so the situation at that
moment was already the best result possible for him.

In Aryadelle.



Wanda placed a copy of the newspaper in front of Zoe.

“David Grimes is dead.”

Zoe glanced at the newspaper. Her expressions turned cold. “I heard about it yesterday. What a pity! I
thought he would be able to kill Avery!”

Wanda was a little disappointed. “Elliot sure is strong. Even David was defeated by him.”

“That’s not only thanks to Elliot alone,” Zoe said distractedly, “But Elliot spent a fortune in saving Avery
this time.”

“Oh?” Wanda asked curiously, “Roughly how much did he spend?”

“At least one and a half billion.” Zoe did not know the exact number, but she could probably

I guess. “He is really devoted to Avery! I have initially given up on him, but seeing how he sacrificed
himself for another woman, I’m falling in love with him again.”

“Wake up! No matter how great he is, he belongs to another person.” Wanda’s attention was on Avery.
“Don’t tell me that Avery escaped unscathed?”

“How could that be possible? According to my friend, Elliot has been at the hospital for a long time. If
Avery only had a small injury, she did not need to stay in the hospital,” Zoe said flatly, “I think she won’t
be able to keep the child.”

“Even without this one, she still has the other two. She still could use them to elevate her status!”
Wanda said in jealousy “It would be great if we could get rid of her two children.”

Zoe never thought that Wanda would be so cruel.



“Have you ever thought that if you were exposed for doing this, you would be dead!” Zoe warned her,
“Let’s just put our focus on money! Avery won’t be able to get up so quickly.”

Three days later, Avery came around. When she woke up, she looked at her strange surroundings,
trying hard to think back about what had happened.

It was until her gaze fell onto the drip connected to her, that she instinctively reached out and tried to rip
it off.

She remembered that she was still pregnant. She could not touch any medication at all.

“Avery, what are you doing?” Mrs. Scarlet saw that she was woken up. She immediately tried to stop
Avery.

“You are currently sick. You need to be on the drip. Avery, don’t move. I’ll go get the doctor!”

Mrs. Scarlet immediately went to look for the doctor. Soon, the doctor arrived.

“Miss Tate. You have been shot in the arm. You’ve done the surgery. Today is the fourth day in the
hospital,” The doctor patiently explained.

Avery looked a little lost. “I’ve been in the hospital for four days? I even underwent surgery? What
medication did you put me on? I’m pregnant, I can’t simply take any medication…”

The doctor replied, “Your husband agreed to the medication. Of course, I’m afraid that your child might
need to be aborted.”
