Chapter 659 About To Give Birth
Avery was completely taken aback when she heard what Sid said.
There was finally a hint of joy on her emotionless face.
“Is that true, Sid? Is Cayden still alive? Where is he now? Are you sure that man is really my husband? If so, why
hasn't he come home yet?”
Sid felt very stressed when he saw her longing expression and anxious attitude.
He handed a stack of documents to Avery and swallowed hard as he said, “I'm not entirely sure if the person in the
photo is Cayden, Avery. For now, it's just a possibility.”
Avery picked up the documents and glanced at the photo. The image wasn't very clear, but one could make out the
tall and slender figure of a man.
As he was wearing a baseball cap and had his back facing the camera, she was unable to see his face.
Avery gently caressed the photo and stared at it in silence.
She missed Cayden so much that she would readily think it was him simply because the figure bore a slight
resemblance.
“After conducting an investigation, we found out that this man is in a vegetative state. He looks Aplothian and has
been secretly staying in Shayriff Hospital for about a month, which coincides with the time Cayden went missing. A
person with a mysterious background had paid for his medical expenses during his stay. However, the person was
so mysterious that my men had to put in lots of effort just to obtain this little bit of information. I had someone
check his medical records and retrieve all surveillance camera footage with him in it, but everything seems to have

Sid's words gradually dimmed the light in Avery's eyes little by little.
As though the baby could sense her sorrow, the baby gave her a gentle kick in the womb.
Avery gently caressed her belly when she felt the baby's movements.
Her frown deepened as she still refused to believe that Cayden was gone just like that.
Upon noticing Avery's worried expression, Sid cleared his throat and continued, “If this man really is Cayden, then I
will do everything I can to find him, even if it means turning all of Remdik upside down. As of the moment, all I can
confirm is that Cayden is still alive. However, he is in a vegetative state, so...”
Avery gently soothed the restless baby in her tummy as she said gently, “I will stay with Cayden as long as he is still
alive, even if he becomes unable to move and needs constant care for the rest of his life. However, I don't even
know if he's alive or dead right now. I feel like I'm a complete failure as a wife.”
“I'm sorry, Avery. Cayden wouldn't have been in trouble if it weren't for me. You can scold me and hit me to your
heart's content. This is all my fault. It has nothing to do with you at all!” Sid said, filled with immense guilt.
He then grabbed Avery's wrist and forcefully smacked her palm against his face.
The resounding slap snapped Avery out of her dazed state. It wasn't until the burning pain spread through her palm
that she quickly pulled her hand back. “What are you doing? I—”
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her tummy. Beads of sweat that were the size of beans trickled down her
forehead. “I... My stomach! Ah! My stomach hurts so much!”
Sid's face changed the moment he saw Avery's pained expression. He quickly stepped forward to check on her and
asked, “What's wrong, Avery?”
Tina, who was delivering documents to Avery, had just arrived at the CEO's office when she saw Avery break out in
a cold sweat.
As Avery could give birth at any time, Jeffrey had instructed Tina to closely monitor her physical condition. Because
Tina was already mentally prepared, she immediately understood what was going on.
“Please hang in there, Mrs. Moore. I'll take you to the hospital right away!” Tina then mustered every ounce of
strength she had to help Avery up before telling Sid, “Mr. Newman, it seems Mrs. Moore might be going into labor.
Could you please give me a hand here?”
Due to the urgent nature of the situation, Sid immediately scooped Avery up and rushed out the door. “Sorry for
this inappropriate contact, Avery. Please bear with me for a bit. I'll get you to the hospital right away!”
Avery was in so much pain that she was on the verge of losing consciousness. Her water had already broken on the
way to the hospital.
As the unbearable pain surged through her body, she kept recalling the sound of Cayden's laughter and his
charming smile. That was the only way she could hang in there.
Cayden is still alive!
The news that Sid had brought her gave her a reason to keep pushing forward.
Avery resented Cayden for not coming home earlier to see her and their children.
Their third baby was about to be born at any moment now, and yet, he hadn't the slightest clue.
Tears trickled down Avery's face as the intense pain in her lower abdomen intensified. It got so severe that she
nearly fainted as a result.

She could hear many voices calling out to her, but she could no longer make out what they were saying. All she
could do was continuously murmur, “Cayden, Cayden...”
Meanwhile, at the Berry residence, Lily was enjoying her afternoon tea in the living room with her two friends from
the upper class.
Upon hearing that Avery was about to go into labor, she let out a cold chuckle and took a sip of her tea before
placing the cup down. “Avery is about to give birth, huh? Heh... Time sure flies,” she said with a gloomy look on her
face.
A somewhat plump lady fanned the flames, saying, “Lily, I think your father-in-law is truly in love with Allie and her
family. He's transferred most of the Moore family's wealth to them, leaving you with only a pathetic portion of it. It's
so unfair to you and Kendrick! Cayden may no longer be around, but his wife has seized all of his assets while you
and your son are left with nothing. I truly feel bad for you.”
Another lady, who had a mink shawl draped over her body, raised her eyebrows and chimed in, “I told you about
this long ago. You should have had Kendrick get married and have kids sooner. Even an illegitimate child would
have been fine. At the very least, it would allow you to get more of the family's wealth. Just look at how cunning
Allie and her son are! They've hogged all of your father-in-law's affection simply because they have a pair of twins!
That old man's heart will always lean toward his grandsons! And now, his daughter-in-law is pregnant again. Your
situation will be even worse if she gives birth to another son!”
Their statements only served to irritate Lily even further.
She let out an icy-cold chuckle, her sharp nails nearly leaving scratches on the teacup as she whispered softly, “For
that to happen, she'll need to be able to give birth to the child.”
