Chapter 172


    There was still plenty of wine in her ss and rice in herbowl.


    If he had not shown up, she would not have excused herself.


    "You both enjoy your meal. I''ll go." Once he finished the sentence, he stretched his long legs and


    walked away. 1


    Ben immediately followed him with the wine sses still in hand. "Elliot! Wait for me!"


    Tammy gave Avery a thumbs up, "Avery, you''re still the best."


    Avery gave her an innocent look, "He wanted to leave."


    "Hahaha! I think he still has feelings for you," Tammy picked up her ss and clinked it against Avery''s.


    " His eyes. His love for you is clearly reflected in them."


    "Tammy, you should watch less of those idol dramas. You''ll easily be stupider from watching too


    much."


    "Didn''t you say you stayed uptest night to watch dramas?" 1


    "I didn''t say I was watching an idol drama." Avery took a sip of wine and continued slowly, "I''m just


    living my life. I will not put men and romance above my person."

    Tammy agreed, "Avery, you''re right! It is clear that Elliot did not prioritize you."


    "Stop mentioning him. Let''s eat." Avery whispered, "I came by car. I need to get my chauffeur to drive


    me hometer."


    "There are many chauffeurs outside," Tammy said. " Avery, I wanted to see your house. Why won''t you


    let me? I haven''t been to your new house yet."


    Tammy knew that Avery lived in Starry River, but she did not know which mansion belonged to her


    friend.


    Avery took a sip of wine embarrassed. "Someday! My house is in a mess now..."


    "Doesn''t your mother live with you? How could it be in such a mess?"


    "Uh..." Avery tried hard to find a reason.


    At that moment, Elliot had taken a call and made his way toward the exit.


    Tammy looked at his retreating figure and said," Avery, Elliot is leaving."


    Avery turned her head and saw Elliot leaving.


    He left in such a hurry because... Has Shea awakened?


    Shea had indeed awakened.


    Zoe had called Elliot and told him to return to the hospital quickly.


    Shea Foster was in the intensive care unit when she opened her eyes. She stared nkly at the


    unfamiliar room and the unfamiliar people that surrounded her.


    "Shea, I''m your doctor. My name is Zoe Sanford." Zoe wanted to instill in Shea that she was the one


    who had performed the surgery.


    Zoe did now know what was going on in her mind now, and she could not predict how the operation


    had changed her.


    Shea looked at Zoe nkly.


    This face looked unfamiliar to her.


    When Zoe held her hand, Shea instinctively pulled away. 1


    Not long after, Elliot arrived.


    When Shea saw her brother, her frenzied heart finally calmed a little.


    She reached for Elliot.


    Elliot immediately went to her bedside and held her delicate hand.


    Seeing the unease in her eyes, Elliot said to Zoe, "Dr. Sanford, she''s uneasy around strangers. Please


    leave, and allow me to talk to her."


    Zoe nodded and strode out of the ward.


    After the door to the ward slid shut, Elliot asked in a low voice, "Shea, does your head hurt?"


    Shea nodded, "Big Brother, what''s wrong with me?"


    "The doctor performed an operation on your brain. It will hurt a bit for now, but it will stop in a few days."


    Elliot''s voice was gentle, and his eyes were gentler. " Shea, how did you leave the academy? Do you


    remember?"


    Hayden''s face appeared in Shea''s mind.


    "Big Brother, you took me out with you!"


    Hayden and her brother looked identical to her, and she thought them to be the same person.


    Elliot frowned.


    "Could she still be recovering from the surgery?" he thought.


    "Big Brother, who was that person just now? I don''t know her," Shea thought of Zoe''s face and


    furrowed her brows.


    "That''s Dr. Sanford. She performed the surgery on you.
