Chapter 1260
She wanted to tell him that she was fine, but the blood in her mouth stopped her from saying anything.
Her bodyguard paced back and forth frantically. "Miss. Tate, let me send you to the hospital, okay? Or
should I call an ambnce instead?" He shoved a few pieces of tissue paper to her hands in the midst
of panic and said, "Why don''t I get you some water?"
"Don''t panic." Avery wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth and panted. "My friend should be here
soon. Once he is here..."
"Him, again?! You want to wait for him again? By the time he gets here, you are probably going to be
dead!" The bodyguard desperately wanted to send her to the hospital. "You are literally coughing blood.

You can’t wait any longer!"
Avery sat down on the chair to calm herself. "To cure me, I will need to go through a surgical procedure
to drain the blood clot inside my skull. Maybe I’m just coughing it out right now."
It didn''t take any medical knowledge for the bodyguard to know that Avery was bluffing. "Then keep
coughing! Cough it all out!"
"Just get me some water! I want warm water."
"Oh." He went to gather a bucket of warm water and brought it to her.
She nced at the water and said, "Where''s the towel?" "You didn''t say anything about towels!
There are a couple of those in the bathroom, which one do you want?" "The pink one."
"Okay. Miss. Tate, once that friend of yours arrives, will he be able to operate on you immediately?"
The bodyguard returned with the pink towel and threw it into the water.
"No. There are a couple of important tests we need to run before the surgery." She squeezed the towel
dry and wiped her face with it.
The bodyguard studied the calm expression on her; it was almost as though it wasn''t her to vomit
blood.
"Can''t you go and do those tests now?"
"I talked to the doctor over here. He said that I won''t die anytime soon so I should wait for my friend,"
she said, "The doctor said that his teacher knows me and told him to stay out of it."
H?77"
"Can you just rx? I won''t die right now." She felt refreshed after washing her face, but she could still
taste the blood in her mouth.
"How can I rx? I will rx when you get better." The bodyguard took the bucket away. "When will
your ex-ssmate be here?"
"Tomorrow.”
"And how are you going to spend today?"
"In the hotel, resting." She got up from the couch >c''=UJX< walked towards the bed to lie down. She
felt weak and powerless. It could be because of her illness, but it could also be because news
concerning Elliot had too big of an impact on her.
Her bodyguard had told her that Elliot married Gary''s daughter.
He ced the bucket back and walked out of the bathroom to find herying on the bed; he didn''t have
the heart to leave her alone.
"Miss. Tate, Elliot probably has his eyes on Gary''s money," he consoled her, "He has lost his influence
in Aryadelle and is now turning to the Goulds for support."
"Don''t even try," Avery said coldly, "I know what kind of a man he is. I know that he''s not the kind of
person you describe him to be."
"Why would he marry Miss. Gould, then? For love?" Seeing that Avery was avoiding reality, the
bodyguard retorted.
"Couldn''t he be forced to do so? He couldn''t possibly fall in love with another woman that soon! It''s
impossible that he would sell himself off for money!" Avery stared daggers at him.
"Fine, he''s being forced. Gary probably has a knife against his throat. So why are you lying on your bed
instead of going to rescue him?"
"I am thinking."
"If the two of us barge in, they will only chase us out. Go gather information and find out where he lives
right now. I want to see him."
The bodyguard felt troubled. Gary''s mansion was packed with bodyguards, how was he supposed to
gather details?
