NovelOnlineHalf an hour later, Jed woke Avery up. "You fell asleep in the ultrasound room." Avery felt more energized after sleeping for half an hour and said, "How embarrassing. | couldn't sleep at all back in the hotel. Maybe | feel safe with the scent of sterilizer in the hospital." "Maybe! | like the smell of sterilizer as well, " Jed said and led her to the elevator.
"How are the results?" She extended her hand toward him.
"The machine was broken, and they can't print the results, but the doctor showed me an image of your uterus," said Jed. His voice was flat. "You are fine, and the hormonal imbalance you are experiencing is probably due to stress." "I told you so! | might not be as young, but I'm still considered rather young," she said confidently, before lowering her voice, "1 told Elliot today that | will only wait until the end of this month for him." Jed seemed occupied with something else and hummed carelessly in response.
"By the way, you don't need to take any medicine for now. Let's just observe the situation and see how it goes." "Sure. | didn't even plan on coming to the hospital over this. | went downstairs to buy sanitary products, actually.

Thank you, though." Avery's lips curled into a smile. " You really are a responsible doctor." "Don't flatter me. | don't like going to the hospital as well when | get sick." After exiting the hospital, Jed sent her back to her room.
It was only half-past four in the afternoon, and it was slightly too early for dinner, so Jed called Avery's bodyguard out for a chat and a cigarette.
"I thought you didn't smoke?” The bodyguard handed him a cigarette.
"I did, back when | was younger, and | quit because | was too busy with work." "Oh. Cigarettes aren’t good for you!" the bodyguard said and lit his cigarette.
"I'm just a bit frustrated." Jed inhaled and stared into the distance. "Do you realize how stubborn Avery is?" "I know what you are saying. If you want to quit, you can leave whenever you want. She won't keep you here," the bodyguard said.
Jed shook his head. "Avery was first pregnant with twins,she had already divorced Elliot when she had them. Why did she choose to give birth to them, despite the enormous burden she had to bear?" "Women are soft-hearted, | guess!" "If she gets pregnant again, do you think she will be willing to get an abortion?" Jed looked at the bodyguard and said, "You know that she is sick right now, so she is incapable of having a normal pregnancy..." "Sh*t! Is she pregnant again?!" The bodyguard's jaw dropped.
"It's just an example," Jed said calmly. "She is more stubborn than | had imagined, so I'm curious about what choice she would make if she were to be pregnant.” "lI don't even need time to think about that. She is definitely going to try and give birth to the child." The bodyguard paused for a moment, before continuing, "Given that she is pregnant with Elliot's child." "Oh... What makes you so sure?" "I guessed it. | don't know much about her condition, or about what it’s like for women to give birth... but | know that she really loves children." "But if she insists on giving birth, her condition might worsen. It would be beyond salvageable, and she would die," said Jed. "She can't keep the baby." "Dr. Hutchinson, what are you getting so worked up for? I thought that this was just an example? You make it seem like she is actually pregnant!" Jed fell silent.
"That can't be possible, right? She has only met Elliot a couple of times since she got there... They slept together twice, at most...

It's not possible for her to get pregnant during those two times, right?" the bodyguard said jokingly. "It took my wife and | a year of trying before we had our first child!" "True. It's not that easy to get pregnant," Jed said casually, as he had only obtained the information that he needed from Avery's bodyguard.
At night, Ruby could not sleep, and she got up and headed toward Hayden's room. She gingerly opened the door to the guest room, expecting that it would be pitch dark inside, but to her surprise, the lights were on.
Hayden sat in his chair, and the laptop sat on the desk in front of him. There were lines of code on the screen.
Code that she could not even begin to understand.
