Chapter 1213


    Cole''s face suddenly turned ashen.


    "You said you were going to take care of him, right? Is that little bit so hard to bear?" Avery teased.


    "All you did was take a kidney, right?


    What''s the point of inserting a urinary catheter?" Cole said in disgust.


    "Would you like me to take out your kidney so you can find out?" sneered Avery. "If you''re that


    impatient, you can always go back to your hotel and be back here in a week when he''s ready to be


    discharged."


    Cole was unwilling to endure any hardship just to take care of Adrian, but he decided to brave the


    ordeal when he saw how eagerly Avery was trying to get rid of him.


    Avery came out of the ward when she saw Cole''s determination.


    Adrian was safe, at least until he was discharged from the hospital.


    She just needed to figure out a foolproof way to ensure that Adrian would not be taken away by Cole.


    She found Wesley in the doctor''s office and told Wesley the situation.

    "Cole is not making any secret of his ambitions."


    "Yes. He said to my face that he’ll have the Sterling Group in his hands once he brings Adrian back. I


    can’t let him take Adrian away," Avery frowned. "He said he brought some bodyguards from Aryadelle,


    and those bodyguards are now stationed near the hospital."


    "Don''t worry, Avery. This is a hospital, and his bodyguards won''t dare charge in here." Wesley then


    to prevent Cole from getting close to Adrian."


    "I know about the restraining order, but how do we invoke it? " Avery started to think.


    Wesley said, "We just need to submit proof to the judge that he intends to harm Adrian.


    "But he won''t."


    "Then we''ll fabricate the proof," Wesley said calmly. "We need to set aside


    kindness and sincerity when facing people like Cole."


    Avery nodded. "Then we''ll go with your n, Wesley. How is Shea today?" "She hasn’t woken up yet."


    Wesley was unable to stay with her in the intensive care unit and could only wait for news in the


    doctor''s office.


    "I''m sure she''ll wake up today. And she''ll be awake longer than yesterday," she said firmly.


    "Yeah. Have you discovered Elliot''s whereabouts?" Wesley was concerned about Elliot in addition to


    Shea, not because he was overly concerned about Elliot, but because he was worried about Avery.


    Her life could not return to normal if she could not find him.


    "He never logged into all his social ounts or emails after transferring all his shares." Although she


    was a little disappointed, she did not feel discouraged. "I n to ask all his friends. If I can''t find him, I’ll


    put up a missing person notice >g$< WMX= offer a huge reward!"


    Wesley chuckled. "I can see your determination to find him, but Elliot might just want to dig a hole and


    hide underground. He''s a proud person, and he''ll feel ashamed if he sees himself on the missing


    person notice."


    "I don''t care what he feels. I''m willing to try any method as long as I find where he is."


    Shea woke upter that afternoon and she was feeling much better than the night before.


    "Wesley, Avery." Her voice was weak, but she was able to say their names. "Was my surgery a


    sess?"


    "It was. You''ll continue to get better with each passing day," Wesley said.


    Shea smiled and breathed a sigh of relief." Can I see Elliot now? Call him, Avery! I want to hear his


    voice... and I want to hug him."


    An uneasy emotion appeared in Avery''s eyes and she dialed Elliot''s number in front of Shea.
