"Nick, I know that no matter what you say, you still care about us. Everybody has their ideal life, mine is to spend my remaining life with Elliot. Even if something were to happen to him, I won’t die with him, I will find some way to save him," promised Avery.
"Tsk!"
"I might need your help by then," said Avery.
"Don't you dare involve me!" said Nick as he hung up the call.
Avery put the phone down and laid back down.
Avery should be worried about Elliot’s situation after hearing all of that. But to her surprise, Avery was more worried about Elliot falling in love with Ruby.
According to Nick, all men would like a woman like Ruby, beautiful, petite, and adept at making men around her happy. Avery did not know if Elliot would be able to refuse her advances.
Before Avery could think of anything else, a sudden shooting pain shot through her head and she could only curl into a ball.
Avery knew that her condition was worsening, she could tell that just by the rate of her headache.
Avery didn't know if her body could make it till the end of the month, she had little to no time left to make sure that Elliot regained his memory.
Avery knew that as long as she could make him remember their past experiences, he would make the right choice.
The next day, Avery took her bodyguard out to the mall.
The bodyguard, was of course, puzzled at Avery’s actions, "Boss, why are we shopping? Are you not going to look for Elliot? Or are we here because... Elliot is here?"
Avery knew that it was easier to match the h>b-
Avery stopped in her tracks.
"Look at yourself in the mirror. Look at how frail and dainty you look. Back in the days, when Elliot still remembered you, he might be able to love you despite how you looked. However, the problem now is he doesn’t know who you are. Furthermore, Ruby is always looking so glamorous in front of him. Why would any sane person choose you over Ruby," said the bodyguard.
Avery felt that everything finally made sense.
Yes, Avery could not believe that she made such a rookie mistake.
After that, both of them entered the shop to pick out a dress.
The bodyguard picked out a dress that exposed her back and had a neckline that goes far below her chest, "This one, boss!"
