    Chapter 1054


    The bodyguard did not immediately realize who was that ‘husband’ she mentioned.


    “Your husband? Who’s your husband?” the bodyguard raised his voice and asked.


    Elliot could hear the bodyguard’s gruff voice even though she was speaking with the bodyquard through


    the cell phone.


    Avery blushed immediately. “Who else could it be besides Elliot? We’re getting married soon.”


    “Oh! So you’re not married yet but you’re already referring to him as your husband?” the bodyguard


    teased. “Alright. Go ahead and take care of him. I’ll just ignore Adrian.”


    Had Elliot not been standing beside her, Avery would have asked the bodyguard to pass the phone to


    Adrian andforted him. His presence made her wary of doing it.


    She looked at Elliot after hanging up.


    He turned his body to his side with his back facing her.


    She ced her cell phone down and leaned toward him.


    “How do you feel, Elliot?” she asked, reaching out and touching his forehead.


    He remembered what happened the night before and so pushed her hand away out of resentment.


    “I’m sorry, okay. I made a mistake yesterday.” She rested her body on top of him and asked in a soft


    voice. “Are you hungry? Let me bring you breakfast!”


    “Why aren’t you taking care of that fool at the hospital?” he asked sullenly.


    “Because you’re more important to me than he is.” She flipped him over so that he was facing her. “Look,


    Elliot. I put the ring on, and it fits perfectly.”


    He looked at the diamond ring on her finger and it sessfully suppressed the anger in his heart.


    He still remembered what she said to him when he had a fever the night before.


    He trusted that she did notete on purpose, but there would always exist that irreconcbleness


    between himself and Adrian. After all, she could not tell him that she loved him while at the same time


    leading Adrian on.


    It did not matter that she was only doing so out of sympathy and pity.


    “I know you can’t ept Adrian,” she opened up when she saw his cold and gloomy face, “Because he’s


    Shea’s brother. I know everything, Elliot.”


    Her words made his expression turn even colder.


    “Adrian is my patient, so that information isn’t something that can be hidden from me.” She got down


    from the bed brought him some water. “I wouldn’t’ve suspected anything if Nathan treated him a little


    better.”

    “When did you know?” Elliot gritted his teeth.


    “I knew before Nathan came to you.” She then said honestly and sincerely, “I’ll face this together with


    you, Elliot. You’re the only Elliot Foster in this world.”


    His Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat and he found it hard to describe what he was feeling.


    She brought a ss of water to the bed.


    “I need to bring Adrian away from Nathan because Nathan wants to threaten you using him. He might be


    your father, but he only looks at you like you’re a cash cow. Whether you live or die is none of his


    concem.” She put the water ss into his hand. “I only have one request, Elliot-don’t kill Adrian. We can


    put him somewhere no one can find him.”


    “Why would you think that a ce like that would exist in this world?” he retorted “The only way to stop


    anyone from finding him is if he dies.”


    Avery was startled. “Do you have to kill him, Elliot? What if I don’t let you?”


    “Don’t you think someone would be able to find him and use him to threaten me?” He put the water ss


    on the cab next to him. “Do you want to see me be threatened? Or do you want everyone to know


    about the baggage that I’m carrying?” “But didn’t you keep Shea well-hidden before? We could hide


    Adrian like that too…”
