Chapter 308 Zoe had gone into full “child-bearing mode” after she got pregnant.
She had even pushed Shea’s treatment aside.
So it could not have been Zoe who cured Eric Santos!
“I’m not clear on the details,” said the family doctor regretfully. “However, the probability of him waking up from his illness was extremely low. I think he found a neurologist on par with Professor James Hough.”
After the call, Elliot immediately sent someone to contact the Santos family.
Eric Santos had left the entertainment industry two years ago, so all his known contact information and addresses were useless.
Even as evening approached, Elliot’s people could still find nothing of use.
Zoe heard about Elliot’s search at dinner, which made her feel nervous.
“My health has improved a lot lately, Elliot,” she said. “I think we can schedule Shea’s second surgery soon.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliot glanced at her and asked, “Are you certain?”
Zoe nodded, then said, “I’m feeling very confident about the next procedure. I’ll take Shea to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow and see how her wound has recovered.”
“Okay,” Elliot responded.
“I’m sorry, Elliot,” Zoe said as her eyes reddened. “My father broke things off with Wanda Tate. He’s planning on returning to Bridgedale in the next few days. I’m sorry for all the trouble we’ve caused you.”
Elliot picked up his wine glass and took a sip. “Also… about our child… I know you don’t like children, so I don’t expect you to like our baby. My body can’t withstand an abortion, so I’ll most likely have to give birth to this child. If you don’t want him, I can raise him myself.”
Zoe had raised a sensitive subject.
Ever since Elliot found out about her pregnancy, he had made no effort to contact her.
She felt like she had been banished.
If he did not find a use for her, she would probably end up like Avery.
“Once the baby is born, I won’t tell him who his father is. You don’t need to worry about his care,” Zoe said soundly. “I’ve had some time to think about it, and I’ve decided that I shouldn’
t force you to love him if you don’t love me.”
“Dr. Sanford, if I asked you to get an abortion…”
Zoe felt a chill shoot through her heart, but she maintained her composure and said, “If you insist, abortion isn’t impossible… I don’t know how long it will take for my body to recover after that. Now that the baby’s taken form, aborting it would be about the same as giving birth.
Elliot began to weigh the pros and cons of an abortion after hearing her words.
“I’m worried that my recovery will delay Shea’s treatment,” Zoe said, then took a sip of her soup. “Elliot, I know you’ve been searching for other doctors that can treat Shea this entire time… I’m sorry for using this against you.”
“That’s your asset.”
“You must hate me.”
“Nothing else matters as long as you can cure Shea,” Elliot said.
“It’s been a while since we’ve talked like this,” Zoe said. “I won’t force you to do anything, Elliot. Could you please not hate me so much?”
As she said this, she reached out to hold his hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElliot moved her hand away and said, “I’ll say it again, Zoe. Nothing else matters as long as you can cure Shea.”
“I’ll do my best to help her,” Zoe said. “It’s your mother’s birthday this weekend. Your brother ‘s planning a party, and your mother’s looking forward to some excitement. I hope you can be there.”
“Noted,” Elliot responded casually.
His mind continued to be filled with thoughts about Eric Santos’s doctor.
Why was this person so elusive?
At the courthouse, the judge slammed his gavel down, sentencing James Worsley to death!
Avery stood up from her seat.
Not far off, Wanda glared resentfully through her veil at Avery.
Avery met her hateful gaze, then prepared herself to walk toward her.
“Don’t be rash, Avery! This is a courthouse,” Mike said and quickly held her back when he noticed her peculiar behavior.
“Fine,” Avery said, restraining herself.
She turned around and strode out of the courthouse.
