“When is the surgery?” He asked in a daze.
“In about half a month!” Averie said.
“The equipment is here, but we don’t know how to use it.The professor that invented this machine only has time to teach us how to use it next week.”
“Won’t it be too late by then?” Elyette voiced his concerns.
“The child will be big then.Will the risk and difficulty of the surgery increase?”
“She just got pregnant.In half a month, the child won’t be big yet, ” Averie said.
“Don’t worry.Wesley and I are here.We will ensure Shea’s safety as best we can.”
“I trust you.”
Elyette was relieved.
“If the child could grow up healthy, that would be even better.”
Averie heard what he said, and she got distracted.
“Elyette, you still like children a lot.Although you were terrifying when you tried to force Shea to get an abortion and when you tried to force me to get an abortion, it’s not like you hate children.You’re just afraid that they will inherit your sickness.”
“When we first got together, I did not like children, sickness or not, ” said Elyette.
“I like children because I liked you first.I had feelings for you.It is only after I developed feelings for you did I start to care about our children.”
Averie looked at his eyes and felt that he was spewing nonsense.He had feelings for Ruby’s child at that moment.
Was it because he had feelings for Ruby too? 2 Averie could not accept this.
“You might not be very in touch with your feelings,” Averie said coldly and walked over to the delivery men.
Elyette repeated her words in his mind a few times.
At the same time, he thought about what she was trying to say.She was mad, but he did not feel that what he said was inappropriate.
He did indeed have feelings for her first before liking his children.
After Averie paid the delivery men, they left.
“Averie, Professor Simon sent a video of assembly instructions.” Wesley showed Averie the video he received.
Averie had a look and said, “He sent it to me yesterday, but I haven’t had the time to look at it.
After all, without seeing the real thing in person, it’s useless to watch the video.”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t you have your main job? Go, I’ll see if I can assemble it with the help of the video,” Averie said.
“I don’t need to go to work FCq,] rLI I have nothing to do.Shea’s matter is the most important thing to me now.”
“I’ve already taken leave,” Wesley said and looked at Elyette.
“Why don’t you head to work? Shea will rest at home for the time being.Averie will update you on our progress…if we have even made any.”
Elyette’s gaze fell on Averie.He did not understand why she was unhappy with him a moment ago.
“Averie, why don’t you send me off!” Elyette said.
Averie nodded and walked over to him, sending him off from the hospital.
“Averie, are you unhappy?”
Elyette looked at her side profile and said in confusion, “I had indeed fallen for you first before loving our children.”
Averie clenched her fists tightly.If he had not repeated what he had said, her anger might have evaporated after a while.Was it necessary to repeat what he said to hurt her?
“I get it.I know.You will first fall in love with the children’s mother before falling in love with her children,” Averie said quickly, clearly unhappy.
Elyette soon understood why she was angry.He wanted to explain that even if he liked Ivy, he would never fall for Ruby.
However, in that case, would that not just go against what he had said? He kept his silence, in case he made matters worse.
“This is me.Go back to the ward.”
Elyette was about to reach the parking lot.
“Hmm.”
Averie turned and left.She was disappointed.She knew that he understood why she was unhappy, but he did not explain himself nor face this issue head-on.
That was because he could not promise her as before that he would not want the child.She returned to the ward with all its equipment.
Wesley immediately noticed that she did not look too happy.He quickly walked over to her.
Before Wesley could ask her anything, Averie had already collected her emotions.
“Let’s start working! Rather than waiting for Professor Simon to come over, we should try assembling it ourselves first.”
“Okay.”
Elyette returned to the office, yet he could not calm himself down.He would secretly look at Ivy’s photo.He did not go to Ylore to look for Ivy, but he could not let her go either.He could not let her go because she looked a lot like Layla.He felt sorry for Averie and the children too, but he was sure that he could keep his promise to Averie if nothing happened to Ivy.
In the afternoon, Shea came to the hospital.
“Averie, is my baby going to grow up here?”
Shea bent down in front of the artificial womb.She blinked and looked at the transparent bag.
“Hmm, by then, we can observe its growth every day.”
Shea nodded and said, “I really hope that it can grow up healthy just like Wesley.”
“I’m sure it will.”
Averie knew what she was worried about.
“Shea, you have to relax.The child is important, but you are even more important.”
Shea smiled sweetly and nodded.
“Averie, I’ll listen to you.”
“During the surgery, it might hurt a little.Wesley told me that you’re afraid of pain, so after a discussion, we have decided to put you under anesthesia.”
Averie helped Shea to the side and sat her down.
“Don’t bend down for too long now.”
“Hmm.Wesley frightened me the day before.He said that giving birth to a child will be super painful.I said I wasn’t scared, but actually, I am scared,” Shea said honestly.
“Now, you don’t have to be scared.Even if you are giving birth on your own, there is anesthesia too.It won’t be too painful.”
When Averie mentioned anesthesia, she instantly thought about Jed.She had not forgotten that Jed had given her an extra dose of anesthesia.
It was a pity that the dead could not be revived.She guessed that she would never solve this mystery.
Ten days later, Professor Simon arrived at Elizabeth Hospital.He first checked on the equipment that Averie had assembled.
After he made sure that there were no problems, he arranged for Shea’s surgery.
Wesley was in the operation theater with Shea while she was having her surgery.
Averie CCs&AnIJ Elyette were waiting outside.
Averie pulled Elyette over to sit on the bench.
For the past few days, their relationship was not too warm nor too cold.He was busy at his office while she was busy at the hospital, so they did not talk much.However, that prick in Averie’s heart had never once vanished.
“Elyette, you must have seen Ivy, right?” Averie broke the silence.
When he heard her mention Ivy’s name, his heart skipped a beat.
They had never directly spoken about Ivy, but she had brought the topic up, and he had to answer that question honestly.
