Chapter 1654

Avery looked at the baby photo on Elliot's phone.It was as if someone had sucked her soul away.

The instant she saw Ivy's photo, she almost involuntarily yelled out, "Isn't this Layla?"

"Avery, she looks a lot like Layla,"

Elliot saw her stunned expression and said, "I saved her photo on my phone because of this reason."

Avery took a deep breath and returned Elliot's phone to him.She initially had many things she had
wanted to say to him, but at that moment, she could barely say a single word.She finally understood why
Elliot had feelings for this child.

After she saw the child's photo, she fell into a daze.She quickly walked to the washroom.

Elliot followed her closely.

Half an hour later, Shea's surgery ended.She was transferred to a VIP ward.

Wesley saw Elliot in the ward, and he said, "Shea's anesthesia needs some time to wear off.Stay here
and look after her.If she comes around, immediately call the doctor.I'll head to the lab first.

"Hmm," Elliot responded.

He hesitated for a while before saying, "Wesley, Avery saw the photo of Ivy."

Wesley furrowed his brows.

"You showed it to her?"

"Yes.She asked to see it."



Elliot's head hurt.

"After she saw the photo, she was agitated, but she refuses to talk to me about it."

"Tell me.What is it that you want me to do?"

Wesley long knew that Avery was unhappy because of this issue.

"I'm letting you know not because I want you to help me."

Elliot swallowed and said bitterly, "She refuses to listen to me, so you should console her!"

"Even if you had not asked this of me, I would still do it," said Wesley, and he left the ward.

In the lab, after the embryo was placed in the artificial womb, Wesley patted Avery on the shoulder.

"Let's talk."

"What do you want to talk about?"

Although Avery had asked him that, she still followed him out of the lab.

They exited the lab and took off their masks.

"Elliot said that you saw Ivy's photo," Wesley said.

"Why did you want to see the child's photo?"

"No reason.I just wanted to have a look."

Avery lowered her head.



"I never thought that I would feel even more terrible.That child looks so much like Layla.Elliot loves Layla
a lot.Naturally, he would have feelings for that child."

"If you keep thinking about it, you will never get better." Wesley furrowed his brows.

"The amount of tolerance you have is going to torture you."

"Wesley, I don’t want to make any decisions for the time being.My mind is a mess.Once your child is
stable, then I will talk about this! "

Avery placed her mask back on.

"Professor Simon is only here for three days, let's go in! Let's see if there is anything we need to pay
attention to in the future."That night, Elliot headed to the hospital after work, planning to take Avery
home.Wesley came out from the lab walked over to him.

"She went home in the afternoon.She wanted to get some of her clothes and toiletries.She said she will
keep watch over the baby this week.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Elliot furrowed his brows.

"Don't tell me that besides her, there is no one else to watch over the baby? Is she deliberately trying to
avoid me?"

"Hmm.She said she wants some quiet.Since you know that she is deliberately trying to avoid you, why
don't you head back first? I'll persuade her to return home after a week," said Wesley.

"Wesley, tell me the truth.Is she trying to break up with me?"



Elliot's face turned blue.His tone was cold.

Wesley shook his head.

"If she wanted to break up with you, she would have long confronted you.She would not have suffered in
silence.She was in so much pain today because Ruby's child looks a lot like Layla.She saw the photo
and she turned a little softhearted too."

When Elliot heard what Wesley said, he felt even worse.
