"Avery, if you really want to makehappy, then you'll pray that my daughter is a beauty. | know Jun too well! Even if he used up the luck of his future, he will not be greater than your husband in this life!" Tammy smiled sweetly and said, "Now that | have a daughter, | no longer fuss so much about Jun." "That's good too. You won't place so much pressure on Jun." "Hmm. | wanted to see Shea's baby a few days ago, but my mom didn't let me. She thinks that the artificial womb is not going to work. She said that after the transfer to the artificial womb, the child won't last a week..." Tammy took a jab at her mother," My mother's values are too old-fashioned." "Her worries are not without reason, because we are not too confident about the artificial womb. Compared to aborting the child, at least now it has a chance of surviving." "Hmm. You have been in the hospital for a week. Did Elliot say anything?" Tammy asked.
Avery blushed a little. "What can he say? I'm not playing hide and seek." "You can lie to others, but do you think your lies work on me? But from what | see, | think you two have reconciled." They laughed and chatted on the journey. The car soon arrived at Elizabeth Hospital.
At the Sterling group, Elliot talked about a new project with a few upper-management managers when someone pushed his office door open.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBen appeared. When the managers saw Ben, they reacted immediately. They stood up in unison and left the room. That was because Ben looked extremely terrified.
Something serious seemed to have happened.
Elliot could not help but stand up. He walked over to his office door and closed it.
"Elliot, something has happened to Ruby!" Ben gripped his phone tightly, looking frightened. "She calledjust now screaming for help... I also heard a gunshot through the phone!" Elliot's expressions darkened when he heard Ben's words. "Are you sure you heard a gunshot?" "I'm not sure! It sounded like a gunshot. It might be a crash. Anyway, it's a scary sound! Ruby was askingfor help! She was yelling for help! I'm sure she’s askingfor help!" Ben's face turned blue. He could not help but shudder. "After the call got cut, | called back, but no one picked up.
| have an awful feeling...” If what Ben said was true, Ruby was in trouble, Elliot immediately walked over to his desk and picked up his phone.
"Elliot, don't panic," Ben noticed Elliot's darkened expression. He instantly calmed down a little. "This might be a setup. She has not given up on you. Maybe this was a setup that she planned. She wants to get you there." Elliot thought for a while before saying, "I'll give Nick a call and get him to go have a look." "Hmm. | think Ruby will most likely be fine. She has bodyguards at hto watch over her 24 hours a day, and they all have guns. Even if there are criminals who are not afraid of death, they are no match for the professional bodyguards," Ben said, feeling much more relaxed.
Elliot called Nick and got him to head to Ruby's place to have a look. Nick grumbled that Elliot was disrupting his life, but he still sent someone to check up on Ruby.
After Elliot finished the call, he waited stiffly for Nick to call back. Ben tried calling Ruby repeatedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe call connected but no one picked up.
"Elliot, why don't you try using your phone to call her?" Ben suggested.
"If this is a setup, she will surely not pick up my call. If she truly has been harmed, then she won't be able to pick up my call," said Elliot in a low voice.
"Sigh. Although I think the chances of Ruby being in danger are slim, why am | so nervous? | don't care whether Ruby lives or dies.
I'm mainly worried for Ivy." Ben breathed heavily.
