Chapter 70 The Child Is Back
Jacob released his grip on Nolan's collar and took a few steps back. Avery's words before losing her
consciousness reechoed in his ears.
"I made a mistake, Jacob."
"My biggest mistake was having encountered you in my life."
Jacob realized she hated him so much that she even gave up the hope of life.
For the first time, Nolan saw fear in Jacob's eyes. It took Jacob a while before he spoke again, "I've
read through her blood test report. Why are the values lower than normal?"
"Usually, in such cases, it's highly likely..." Nolan suddenly shut his mouth and bit back the words on
the tip of his tongue.
Chemotherapy for cancer could cause a rapid decline in various blood values. Although Jacob hadn't
given Avery a checkup in the past two years, Nolan didn't think she could have cancer according to her
physical condition.
Moreover, Avery was still so young. Cancer patients were usually middle-aged or elderly.
Besides, he could tell Jacob's situation was not good right now. Nolan couldn't make such statements
without conducting tests and increase Jacob's mental burden.
"What could it be?" Jacob asked.
"Nothing. Has Madam Avery shown any abnormal symptoms recently?" Nolan questioned.
"She had a serious illness recently and an injury on her arm."
"That explains it. Infections from certain bacteria or viruses can also cause a decline in various body
values. Madam Avery probably hasn't fully recovered, and the sudden exposure to cold water caused a
relapse, hence the severity."
Each word was like a sharp dagger stabbing into Jacob's heart.
Sensing Jacob's strange expression, Nolan continued, "Madam Avery has a weakened immune system
now. She must be well-protected. She can't catch a cold or get sick. I'll emphasize the medications to
ensure her fever subsides."
Jacob slowly lowered his hands and whispered, "Okay."
Layla's residence.
Layla had no idea Jacob would take the child to Avery and was quite happy about it. The little boy was
becoming more and more like Jacob. Layla guessed it was why Jacob liked him so much.
The more he liked the little boy, the more advantageous the situation was for her. Therefore, Layla had
no worries about Jacob's love for her. She firmly believed he would marry her someday.
John hurriedly took Ethan to the hospital. Avery's high fever had not yet subsided, and the situation
was challenging.
"Papa, hold me..." Ethan reached out his little hands from the swaddle towards Jacob.
Jacob lifted him up and pointed to the woman on the bed with reddish cheeks. "Look. Who is she?"
Ethan's eyes lit up. "Mom... I want Mom..."
Jacob gently placed him by Avery's side. "Hug her."All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Ethan was very clever. Without prompting, he wiggled his little buttocks while holding a brown teddy
bear and crawled towards Avery's embrace.
It was like a long-awaited rain after a drought. Ethan buried his head in the crook of Avery's arms.
Jacob gently wiped the tear stains from the corners of her eyes, whispering in her ear, "Stop crying,
Avy. Our child is back."
For over a year, Avery had been plagued by nightmares. She always heard a child crying in those
dreams, asking her why she didn't want them. But she had never seen the child's face.
This time, her dream was peaceful. There was no child but a deep, dark sea without any light. Step by
step, she walked into the sea.
Her mood was serene.
"My baby, you've waited for so long. Mommy is coming to be with you," her inner voice muttered.
"Mom!" Suddenly, a sweet voice echoed from behind her.
