NovelOnline"I've been resting the entire day. Let me stay here for a while!" The bodyguard strolled toward the bed and looked Elliot up and down. "So he just lays here every day?" "Yeah." "That's what they call vegetables, huh?" The bodyguard said gloomily. "Will he ever wake up?" "If his injuries are as severe as you are making them sound, he would still be in ICU and not here." Avery took a sip of the soup. "He should be waking up soon." "Oh. Okay." The bodyguard went to sit next to her. "Boss, my admiration for you just grows deeper and deeper. | didn't think that you would have the guts to chase Ruby Gould out of her own territory. The courage and strength in you! As expected of Elliot Foster's woman." Avery blushed at the compliment and said, "The only reason she is not fighting me is because she is pregnant.” "Oh. | see!" "When you come over tonight, bring me my suitcase." "Sure. | can bring it over now. I'm free, anyways." The bodyguard got up and strode out.
After finishing her meal, Avery went out to throw the packaging away. She was just in time to see the nurse she had spoken to rushing over.
Avery's heart raced at the sight of the nurse.
"Miss Tate, has Mr. Foster woken up yet?" The nurse asked formally as there were bodyguards working for the Gould family stationed outside the ward.

Avery shook her head and the two entered the room, closing the door behind them.
"Miss Tate, | didn't manage to get that many details because my friend doesn’t know much either. She said that the transplant was done by the department head," the nurse said.
Avery was not at all surprised by the outcome, as everything concerning the Gould family was confidential.
"However, | did hear something important." The nurse suddenly lowered her voice, " You need time to develop test-tube babies. You are a doctor yourself, Miss Tate, so you should know what | mean. However, Miss Gould did not wait for the implant. She had gone straight for the surgery. We don't know where the embryo she is carrying comes from or who the father is." Avery froze.
"She went straight for the implant? How?" she thought.
"Miss Tate, once Mr. Foster wakes up, you can ask him about it. If Miss Gould's baby is indeed his, he must know about it," the nurse said. "I am a little confused, though. If the baby is Mr. Foster's, why would they choose to have a test-tube baby? Miss Gould is young ?c$=UJY< healthy, so they could have just had a natural pregnancy!" Avery could not answer the nurse's question because she was even more confused than the nurse.
The nurse told Avery everything she knew and took one glance at Elliot before leaving the room.
When the bodyguard came to deliver Avery's suitcase, he found her sitting by the bed. She looked to be deep in thought, and she had not noticed him entering the room.
"Miss Tate, daydreaming already?" The bodyguard waved his hand in front of her. * Why do you look troubled? You were fine just now. What happened after | left?” "lI am trying to figure out what is going on with Ruby's baby." "What's there to think about? You can ask Elliot once he wakes up," the bodyguard said casually. "Didn't you say that he is waking up soon?" The bodyguard's words were almost like a prophecy because as soon as those words were spoken, Elliot's eyes opened without warning.

The bodyguard noticed that he had opened his eyes and jumped back in fright.
"Boss! Elliot is awake!" The bodyguard exclaimed.
Avery saw it, too.
"Elliot is awake!" she thought. Both excited and nervous, she wanted to say something, but she did not know what to say.
Elliot looked both unapproachable and dazed. No one knew what he was thinking.
