Avery instantly forgot that she had called Mike to inform him about her surgery."Ah? You haven't heard about it? I thought someone in the office would have told you about it, and that you are calling me to settle the score with me," Mike said awkwardly."No wonder you haven't been calling me. Turns out, it's the company that is in trouble." Avery took a deep breath. "Is the company going bankrupt?""Yeah," Mike sighed. "I'm sorry, Avery. This time, it is really my fault. I think I told you about the time I had gotten dumped. Well, that man is looking for me. He did not approach me directly, but he stole our core technology for Wanda. Wanda did not even need to compensate him. He did that to gain my attention. That idiot!""Your ex?""Hmm. I forgot to tell you that he is also a hacker. His hacking skills are better than mine. It took me a few sleepless nights to find out that it was him!"Avery was baffled. She did not know what to say.Mike said, "I have already told him to f*c

"Avery, although Mr. Gould doesn't like you, if you could treat him, I will put in a good word for you!" Paul said roughly."Avery, are you really that amazing?" Ruby was skeptical. "If you can treat my father, I will put in a good word, too."Elliot turned around and took his phone out. He sent her a message.Avery was holding her phone in her hand, and she felt it vibrate. She looked at her phone and saw Elliot's message. The message was short. [Decline.]He wanted her to decline the request.She looked at her phone and said to Ruby, "I'll have to assess your father's condition before giving you an answer." The door to the emergency room opened.Elliot saw her striding into the emergency room. He clenched his hands into tight fists!"Clearly, she has read my message, but why is she not listening?!" he thought. "Did she forget the kind of man Gary is? Forget Gary, even Paul is cold and cruel!" If Avery were to treat Gary and fail, Paul would surely want her dead.Elliot wa

Avery could see that Elliot was not doing well."The inpatient unit is that way, let's go!" said Aaron, the bodyguard, breaking the silence. He had noticed that they had not moved.The three of them headed to the inpatient unit.When they reached the neurology department, Avery said to Elliot, "Get your bodyguard to pay the bill."Elliot immediately got his card out and handed it to the bodyguard. After the bodyguard left, Avery led Elliot into a doctor's office.There were two doctors in the office. They were rather surprised to see Avery and Elliot entering the room. Avery took Elliot into the office washroom and shut the door."Didn't I tell you to decline their request? Why did you not listen to me?" growled Elliot."Why should I refuse Gary treatment?" Avery had her own reasons for wanting to treat Gary. "Nick told me that once Gary is dead, you will no longer have to fulfill your promises to him." Elliot was stunned by her bold idea. "Are you going to take this as an o

Elliot handed Avery to a nurse before getting the nurse to send Avery back to her ward.Then, he went to contact the other neurologists."Mr. Foster, what happened to Miss Tate? What sickness does she have?" Aaron asked curiously."If you care so much for her, why didn't you ask her just now?" said Elliot."I don't care for her. I'm just asking," Aaron said casually. "Paul will be mad at you for letting her go.""Then, Paul can drag her back himself," Elliot said distractedly. "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"Aaron said, "He thinks you are. Although you are Gary's son-in-law, he is Gary's adopted son.""Then, why didn't Gary get Ruby to marry him?""Gary had thought of it, but then, you abandoned everything in Aryadelle and made your way here," said Aaron. Aaron was rather casual with Elliot when they were alone as Elliot did not have a huge ego. "I guess it's my fault," said Elliot, blaming himself. "He got me to see the primates in the zoo, and I was touched by the monkey'

Jed said, "Once her surgery is done, we can go."Since he sounded so sure, the bodyguard was a little excited. "Are you for real?""I'm guessing. My intuition is usually quite accurate.""Can you predict how much money I'm going to get as a bonus once we get back?" Jed was speechless. He patted his pocket. "Do you still have cigarettes? Let's go have one.""Didn't Miss Tate ask us to send Gary's men away? Let's smoke later! Didn't you say you don't like smoking?" The bodyguard took out a box of cigarettes and passed it to Jed. He took out another box and smelled the cigarettes."It's boring here. Smoking kills time.""You're right. Not only does it kill time, but it perks you up too! However, it damages the body.""I thought so too in the past, but later, I thought it through. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Maybe, we will die in an accident?" …After Gary's checkup, he was sent to the inpatient unit.When Paul saw that Avery was not there, he was furious. Although Aar

Avery did not give Elliot any time to react. She immediately asked, [Why are you looking for me? I'm in room V03. If you want to see me, just come over.]Of course, she had guessed that him looking for her was just an excuse.She calculated the time. Gary should be done with his checkup and sent to the inpatient unit for treatment.Gary's trusted aide was clearly not to be messed with. Although he was not Gary's son, he did not hold a low rank. If not, he would not have dared wield his power before Elliot. Elliot replied to her after a while. [Someone told me that you were in the neurosurgery department, and I wanted to know why you lied to me.]Avery teased, [If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have cared why I lied.]Elliot did not reply because she was too direct.Up till that point, he had not remembered anything of their lives. All he knew, he had heard from others, but even then, she still affected his judgment.He could analyze logically and be objective with anyo

Elliot entered the doctor's office. He asked the doctor on duty about Gary's condition. Once he was done, he left the office and headed straight for the nearby elevator. After walking in, he pressed the number for the floor below him.The elevator reached his destination in no time, and he walked out.Instead of going directly to ward V03, he went to the neurosurgeon's office.The doctor was stunned to see Elliot.He sat down opposite the doctor and said, "I want to know how Avery is doing.""This... This involves the patient's privacy. I am unable to tell you anything." The doctor looked nervous. Elliot had clearly put him in a tight spot. "You could speak to her if you know her.""She said it is a minor operation. I want to know if it's a minor operation or not." He changed his phrasing.The doctor pushed his spectacles higher up his nose and considered Elliot's request. Finally, he said, "She doesn't trust Ylore's doctors, and a doctor from Bridgedale is performing the oper

When the last word had left the bodyguard's lips, Elliot strode to ward V03.He did not bother knocking. He barged into the room. The lights were on, and Avery was lying in bed. Her eyes were closed, but she had yet to fall asleep.The sudden movement caused her to immediately open her eyes.She had thought that it was her bodyguard, back after his shower, so she was shocked to see Elliot, standing in the ward.Avery immediately sat up after seeing him."Lie down!" He walked to the side of the hospital bed and gazed down at her. "You have a tumor in your brain?"She had just lain down when she heard his question. Her body suddenly became hot and restless as she asked, "Did you ask around?""Your bodyguard told me." He sat down in the nearby chair. "Why didn't you take good care of yourself when you knew you were sick? I'll recover my memory when the time comes.""I'm worried that you would have fallen in love with Ruby, adapted to life here, and never return to Aryadelle agai
