Chapter 355
When His Eyes Opened
âItâs fine.â Elliot looked at her pale face. He felt a little pity for her. âRest well. Iâll visit you tomorrow.â
âOkay.â
Coming out of the hospital, Elliot asked the bodyguard, âWhere did the dead baby go?â
âZoeâs father took the baby to the crematorium to be cremated.â
Elliot furrowed his brows. He had wanted a paternity test to be done, but that was impossible now.
The bodyguard continued, âMr. Sanford was extremely agitated. I wanted to help him, but he thought I
wanted to take the child away from him. He began to fight me
I wanted to help him on the way. He thought that I wanted to take the child away from him. He fought
me.â
Elliotâs eyes darkened. He got in the car.
The next morning, the family doctor received a call and rushed to Elliotâs mansion.
Elliot had not slept the entire night. His eyes were red. He looked a little terrifying.
âMr. Foster, I heard that Miss Sanford had a miscarriage,â The doctor tried comforting him,â You and Miss
Sanford are still young. There are still plenty of chances in the future.â
âI did not ask you here for this.â Elliot drank some coffee. âThe person who operated on Eric Santos was
Avery.â
The doctor was stunned. âYou mean your ex-wife, Miss Tate?â
âYes. What do you think about that?â
The doctor adjusted his glasses. âAlthough I knew that Miss Tate was a pupil of Professor Hough, I still
find it hard to believe. After all, brain surgery is no small matter.â
âHow can I find out what she is truly capable of?â Elliot asked.
The doctor shook his head. âIf you did not see her perform the surgery and she does not say anything, I
donât think you will truly know what she is capable of.â
âEric said that Professor Hough devised the treatment. If you were given the treatment plan, would you
dare perform such a complicated surgery on any of your patients?â
The doctor was stumped by Elliotâs questions. âMr. Foster, why donât you ask her?â
Elliot furrowed his brows. âIf I could get an answer from her, why would I be talking to you?â
âOh, if Professor Hough had given me the treatment plan, I would perform the operation, but I canât
guarantee that it would be a success.â The doctor had answered Elliotâs question and then added, âMiss
Tate succeeded. It proves that she has outstanding skills. I just donât know who is better: Miss Tate or
Miss Sanford.â
Elliot lowered his gaze. âEven if her skills are great, she would not cure Shea.â
The doctor said, âIn my opinion, Miss Sanford has sufficient skills, sò if Miss Tate is unwilling to help you,
you can continue seeking help from Miss Sanford.â
Elliot nodded.
âThe child. If it has been cremated, can a paternity test still be done?â asked Elliot.
The doctor shook his head. âWere you planning to conduct a paternity test on Miss Sanfordâs child?
Once the child has been cremated, you wonât be able to get any samples. Naturally, a paternity test will
no longer be possible. Are there any other samples that you can get?â
âThe incident happened too suddenly. By the time I got to the hospital, her father had already taken the
child.â
âThen, there is no other way. However, why do you suspect Miss Sanford?â
âI only did it with her once. I was drunk. Till now, I canât be sure the woman I had slept with that night was
truly her.â
The doctor was dumbfounded. âTheoretically speaking, the chances of getting pregnant after sex once is
very low. Even if the woman was ovulating, it might not be successful. Did you not investigate it at that
time?â
âI have asked Avery. She said that she had not slept with me.â The reason Elliot brought up the past was
because he suspected Avery. âI realized that nothing she had ever told me was the truth.â
The doctor replied, âMiss Tate does not seem like that type of person.â
âShe might not be to others, but to me, sheâs a liar.â
âWhy?â
âIf I knew why I wouldnât be so troubled.â Elliot could not sleep the entire night. What Avery had said to
him kept him awake.
Whether it was the truth, or whether it was a lie, he could not tell.
âHave you seen her son?â Elliot swallowed. âThe boy looks a little like me. She said that she adopted
him. If she hates me so much, why would she adopt a child that looks like me?â
