His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 74

Holding back tears, Avery turned in anger and stormed out of the station.

She did not sign the release papers, nor did she take her phone back from Elliot.

Elliot signed the papers and left the station.

On the car ride home, he passed her phone to her and said in a low voice, "I didn't go through it."

Avery took her phone and her breathing was heavy as she said, "But you already know what's inside."

"Are they important? Those photos..."

Avery gritted her teeth and warned herself not to lose her temper with Elliot.

He was the one who had helped get her phone back after all.

Her hand clenched around her phone as she asked, "If I told you that the baby you had forced me to abort wasn't Cole's but yours... Would you feel guilty at all?"

Elliot turned his head and glanced at her.

Avery's expression was serious, and it did not seem like she was kidding.

He gulped and responded in a hoarse voice, "From the

IVF treatments?" 1

"Yes," Avery answered. She met his gaze and said, " You killed your own child with your own hands. Do you feel any guilt?" 1

She hoped to see even the slightest hint of remorse on his face to make herself feel better.

She prayed that he was a man of flesh and blood and not a cold-blooded money-making machine.

The expression on Elliot's face puzzled her. He knew that he would be breaking her heart, but he still replied indifferently, "I don't. It was never meant to be born in the first place."

Avery chuckled coldly and asked, "Would you be so calm if your own parents said that about you?"

"I would thank them if they never gave birth to me," he answered. "Not everyone wishes to be born into this world, Avery."

Avery raised her brows.

Did he not wish to be born?

How come?

Elliot's mother loved him unconditionally, he had a successful career, and there were plenty of people around him who treated him like he was the center of their universe...
