Avery walked with Tammy to the parking lot. Once Tammy left, Mike walked Avery back to the ward.
"You didn't tell Tammy about your illness, did you?"
"Her baby is nearing its due date. I want her mind to be at ease when she brings the child to this world." Avery said. "Elliot will be back soon."
"Are you nervous?"
"Not really."
On the flight back to Aryadelle, Ben noticed that Elliot was not sleepy and decided to chat with him. "The driver must've known a lot of stuff if he hadn't died. I'm sure he saw everything when the shooting
happened."
Elliot pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
The driver who was lucky enough to escape but was eventually killed had left behind a cell phone, the contents of which were already restored.
There was nothing unusual about the text messages and call records.
There were many photos in his album, many of which were candid photos that were all of the same subject-Ruby.
Those secretly-taken photos made it quite clear that the driver was plotting something nasty on Ruby.
