Chapter 490 Not Used To It

After examining Avery's body, the director finally said with amazement, “Mr. Moore, Mrs. Moore's legs are safe. All that's left is for her to go through rehabilitation. Of course, the baby in her belly is strong. However, it hadn't been easy preserving the baby's life, so please avoid agitating Mrs. Moore's emotions. Otherwise, it'll easily cause a second miscarriage.”

Avery could not get used to hearing the director address her as “Mrs. Moore.”

After all, she was not married to Cayden and had even humiliated the Moore family at the engagement party. She felt extremely embarrassed, but she was not too bothered about it upon noticing Cayden's calm attitude.

“Thank you for your hard work, Director,” Avery thanked the hospital director joyfully when she found out that her baby was safe.

“You're thanking the wrong person, Mrs. Moore. The person who saved you is actually Dr. Sotheby. I was just assisting him.” The director rubbed his nose awkwardly.

He had been in the medical field for many years, yet his skills were not as good as the fledgling young man's. It would be rather humiliating if word got out.

Although the director was egoistical, he admired people with talent and would never take credit for other people's work.

Avery said sincerely, “Still, you guys saved my life. It's only right for me to thank you. By the way, when will my legs be cured?”

“Be patient, Mrs. Moore. Your legs are severely injured, especially your right leg that's fractured. If you don't recuperate properly, you'll end up suffering from leg length discrepancy in the future. So, once you're discharged from the hospital, make sure you don't let your feet touch the ground. You can try walking and exercising without a cane after a month. Six months later, you'll need to come to the hospital for a scan to check the recovery of your bones and callus. Generally, there won't be much problem once the bones have recovered,” explained the director in an amicable manner.

With that, he did a thorough examination on Avery and told her some things she needed to take note of. After changing her bandages, he left with the nurses.

When the director left, Avery relaxed and leaned against Cayden's chest. That was when she noticed the bandages on her body.

She let out a bitter laugh. “Gosh. I'm turning into a mummy. This accident was such a close call. I thought I would never see you again. By the way, is Rory okay?”


The sudden accident left a lingering fear in Avery's heart.

She would be devastated if her daughter was the one injured.

Cayden caressed her back and said softly, “Rory's fine. She was just frightened, that's all. You need to rest well for the next few days. Don't think too much, okay? I'll handle the rest. I'll definitely find the driver responsible for the accident and get you the justice you deserve.”

Avery instinctively placed a hand on her belly.

It had been three months, and her belly was already bulging a little because it was her second pregnancy.

Her fingers trembled slightly when she placed it on her belly. I almost lost my third baby. Thank heavens, the baby's safe.

While they were talking, the food Cayden ordered arrived.

After receiving it, he opened the containers, revealing a bowl of oatmeal and some side dishes.

The food came from a famous old restaurant that served delicious oatmeal.

As soon as the containers were opened, Avery caught a whiff of the aroma. Immediately, her already rumbling stomach growled louder.

Picking up the bowl of oatmeal, Cayden scooped one spoonful and coaxed her as if she was a young child. “Here you go. Open your mouth.”

“My legs are injured, not my hands. You don't need to feed me.” Avery wanted to take the bowl of oatmeal from him, but Cayden stubbornly insisted on feeding her, his eyes filled with affection. “I'm your husband. It's only natural that I feed you. Who should feed you if not me?”

Unable to convince him otherwise, Avery had no choice but to give in. When she was halfway through her meal, a knock sounded on the door.

Thinking it was Xavier, Cayden said, “Come in.”

The door opened, but the person who showed up was not Xavier. Instead, it was Wisteria who was dressed extravagantly.

Her wavy hair was tied into a ponytail with no fringe dangling in front of her forehead. Hence, her gorgeous face could be seen at one glance. She wore a pair of seven-centimeters tall high heels, which accented her already towering figure, making her look more graceful.

“Ms. Summers.” Cayden cast her a glance and continued feeding Avery. He did not mind displaying his affection for his woman in front of his subordinate.

Holding a basket of fruits, Wisteria forced a smile as she watched Cayden feed Avery oatmeal. “Mr. Moore, Mr. Dartsley tells me Ms. Rumpley got into an accident. So, I'm here to visit her. Is she all right?”

Avery felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Wisteria.
