"Miss Tate, didn’t you have a question to ask him? Go on!" The bodyguard noticed Avery being stunned. He immediately reminded her.
Avery came to her senses.
"Don't disturb him. He just woke up. His mind isn't clear yet." Avery pushed the bodyguard outside. "Wait outside. Don't enter without my permission."
After pushing the bodyguard out, she quickly returned to the side of the bed.
Elliot had already shut his eyes!
Avery rubbed her eyes, doubting herself, thinking she was hallucinating previously. However, the bodyguard noticed it too!
She was not hallucinating. Elliot did indeed come around for a short time a moment ago. Just when she was hesitating whether to call him or not, he opened his eyes once more.
"Elliot!" Avery quickly said, "Elliot!"
Elliot's eyes instantly focused and looked at her.
"It's me, Avery!" Avery choked up and said," Gary is dead. When you're discharged from the hospital, let's return to Aryadelle!"
Elliot spent more than double the usual time understanding what she was saying.
"Elliot, I know you're in a lot of pain right now. It hurts everywhere. You don't have to answer me..." Avery held his huge hands and said softly.
"Okay..." He replied hoarsely.
When he was discharged from the hospital,
he would return to Aryadelle with her.
Avery's eyes instantly turned wet.
Whether he replied to her previous statement or the one after, she was satisfied.
Ruby held the bowl tightly and waited nervously for Elliot's answer.
Elliot's deep-set eyes looked at Avery. He gently said, "You."
Ruby’s hand which was holding the bowl suddenly lost its strength.
Avery took the bowl away from Ruby and said, "I'll stay with him tonight. When he hasn’t come around yet, he does not need you. Now that he has already come around, he still does not need you."
Ruby's face turned from pale to red.
"Elliot, do you really not need me anymore? " Ruby asked reluctantly, "Are you planning to return to Aryadelle with Avery?"
Elliot said without thinking, "Yes."
Ruby's heart sunk to the bottom of the ocean. She had tried her hardest to grab on to him, yet he treated her as a burden and tried to avoid her.
