After getting in the car, Avery found a contact on her phone and dialed the number.
The call was picked up after a while.
"Hello, Nick. Avery here."
The person on the other end of the line chuckled when he heard her voice. He said, "Where did you get my number?"
"I logged into Elliot's account and found your number," She cut to the chase, "I need a favor from you."
"Doctor Tate, in the mansion in the forest, we have already settled everything. I don't owe you anything anymore, so I won't help you," Nick rejected her directly.
"Yes, we have indeed settled it in the past, but how sure are you that you won't need my help in the future?" Avery's tone was gentle. "As one grows older, the risk of a brain-related disease increases. So, if you get sick in the future, I’ll treat you for free."
Nick was tempted by her offer.
"What do you need me for?" Nick's breathing got heavier. He snickered. "Don't tell me that you want me to help you take Elliot back? I heard about your
embarrassing commotion at Gary's place."
"Get Elliot to go to your place. I have something to return to him."
"Just that?"
"Yes.” "Okay, I'll call him over now."
After their deal, Avery received a location from Nick. Avery sent it to the bodyguard and got him to drive over there.
"Miss Tate, you sure have connections!" The bodyguard sighed.
"Nick, did Elliot agree to come?" Avery was nervous.
"He would surely agree to it," Nick said calmly, "But he didn't say when he would arrive. Just wait for a while!"
"Hmm. Do you know about his memory erasure surgery?"
I know. Ylore is just that small. There is nothing that can be hidden from me." "Can you help me? I want to take Elliot away from here." Out of desperation, Avery pleaded with Nick, "If he stays here, it will be hard for him to escape Gary's grip on him."
"Avery, you're too naive!" Nick looked at her interestingly, "Even if Elliot regains his memories, he would not be able to leave here!"
Avery's heart constricted tightly. "Why is that so?"
"Because Gary won't let him go!" Nick persuaded her, "If you want to safely leave, you should go now. If not, by then, you won't be able to leave either!"
