"In about half a month!” Avery said. "The equipment is here, but we don't know how to use it. The professor that invented this machine only has time to teach us how to use it next week."
"Won't it be too late by then?" Elliot voiced his concerns. "The child will be big then. Will the risk and difficulty of the surgery increase?"
"She just got pregnant. In half a month, the child won't be big yet," Avery said. "Don't worry. Wesley and I are here. We will ensure Shea's safety as best we can."
"I trust you." Elliot was relieved. "If the child could grow up healthy, that would be even better."
Avery heard what he said, and she got distracted. "Elliot, you still like children a lot. Although you were terrifying when you tried to force Shea to get an abortion and when you tried to force me to get an abortion, it's not like you hate children. You're just afraid that they will inherit your sickness."
"When we first got together, I did not like children, sickness or not," said Elliot. "I like children because I liked you first. I had feelings for you. It is only after I developed feelings for you did I start to care about our children."
Avery looked at his eyes and felt that he was spewing nonsense. He had feelings for Ruby's child at that moment. Was it because he had feelings for Ruby too?
Avery could not accept this.

Elliot repeated her words in his mind a few times. At the same time, he thought about what she was trying to say. She was mad, but he did not feel that what he said was inappropriate. He did indeed have feelings for her first before liking his children.
After Avery paid the delivery men, they left.
"Avery, Professor Simon sent a video of assembly instructions." Wesley showed Avery the video he received.
Avery had a look and said, "He sent it to me yesterday, but I haven't had the time to look at it. After all, without seeing the real thing in person, it’s useless to watch the video."
"Hmm."
"Don’t you have your main job? Go, I’ll see if I can assemble it with the help of the video, " Avery said. "I don’t need to go to work
