Chapter 237 If Layla had known about the contents in the box, she would not have gone through all the trouble to bring it home.
However, it would be difficult for them to return it now without anyone finding out.
She probably would never be able to go to her Dirtbag Dad‘s house ever again.
Forget it! She would just keep the box hidden under the bed.
It was nothing but a CD and a piece of paper, so it definitely was not anything important.
By the time Hayden entered the bedroom after returning the laptop, Layla had already fallen into a deep slumber.
In the other room, Avery was wide awake.
Perhaps it was because she had overslept that day that she was now wide awake.
When wide awake, one’s mind would wander when they had nothing else to do.
At this moment, for example, Avery’s mind was obsessing over Elliot.
Her head was filled with images of his handsome face, while every breath she took was his scent.
She could even remember the touch and temperature of his skin.
If he had not found her last night, she would either be dead or lying in the intensive care unit right now.
There were many things she wanted to say, but she did not dare express.
Elliot was no longer her husband.
He had Shea in his heart and Zoe by his side.
Avery was nothing but his ex wife.
They could no longer turn back on their relationship.
As tears rolled down her cheeks, Avery shut her eyes and forced herself not to think
A perfect life was never a guarantee.
She had Hayden and Layla, as well as a career.
She was more blessed than ninety nine percent of people in the world.
She should not be greedy
Three days later, Zoe noticed that her period was a week late.
Her suspicions arose because her menstrual cycle was normally on time.
She left for the drugstore first thing in the morning and bought a pregnancy test.
Instead of going home, she went to a nearby public restroom.
When she emerged from the cubicle fifteen minutes later, her face was void of color and she was holding onto the wall.
She was pregnant!
She was actually pregnant!
The night she messed around Cole at the hotel was all it took for this to happen!
Zoe bit down so hard on her lip that it turned purple.
Shivers ran through her entire body as she trembled uncontrollably.
Why was life playing this sick joke on her?
She wanted to become Mrs. Elliot Foster, not Mrs. Cole Foster!
Why did she get pregnant with Cole‘s child of all people?
Zoe clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palm, but she felt no pain.
She felt like a knife was stabbed into her heart.
She found a quiet corner and called Cole.
It was not until a while later than Cole answered the call.
“Yes, Doctor Sanford?” Cole said hoarsely as if he had yet to wake up.
“I‘m going to kill you, Cole Foster!” Zoe hissed through gritted teeth. “Come see me right away! You have ten minutes! If you‘re not here in ten minutes, I‘ll kill you with my bare hands!
Cole leaped out of bed and broke into a cold sweat.
“Doctor Sanford, you...”
Zoe hung up the phone, then slumped down and sobbed into her hands.
She could never let Eliot find out about this!
She had to stay by his side!
She resigned from her job abroad because of him.
Everyone around her knew that she was Elliot Foster‘s girlfriend and were green with envy.
No matter what, she could not allow the child she was carrying to be an obstacle in her plans!
The problem was that she had difficulty getting pregnant in the first place. If she were to get abortion, she may never have a chance to get pregnant ever again!
