Chapter 1263


    Which was why the two felt slightly awkward when they met at the airport.


    "It''s been years and you still look as beautiful as ever," Jed said, "But you do look a bit sickly. Have you


    shown any other symptoms apart from the headaches?"


    Avery shook her head. "Not yet."


    "Alright. Let''s go to the hospital now!"


    "What''s the hurry? You''ve just arrived. Let me treat you to something! Besides, I have something I need


    to do today, so we can wait until tomorrow..."


    "Avery, quit ying around with your own life." Jed looked at her sternly. "Does Wesley know that you


    are sick? He doesn''t, does he? If you won''t listen to me, I am calling him right now."


    Avery raised her arms in defeat. "Let''s hurry to the hospital then!"


    "You are a doctor as well, one of the best doctors globally, at that, do you really not know how critical


    your condition is? You said that you had not been hit in the head before, so why are you bleeding


    inside your skull?" He said seriously, "This has to be a lesion."


    "My old ssmate, please don''t be so serious. I just really have something I need to do today..."


    "Whatever it is, you need to take all the necessary tests today. Once we can be certain of the cause,


    we need to operate on you as soon as possible."


    Avery took out her phone to check for iing messages; perhaps her urge was too strong that she


    really did receive a message from Gary, which told her that he could arrange for her to meet Elliotter


    that night.


    She immediately replied to confirm and checked the time. If everything went smoothly, the tests should


    be over within two hours’ time and would not affect her meeting with Elliot.


    She sighed a breath of relief.


    "Avery, I heard that your husband died," Jed suddenly said.


    "No, my husband isn''t dead," she forced a smile and said, "He''s still alive."


    Confused, Jed asked, "Oh? So why is his death all over the news?" "Someone is trying to get Elliot to


    abandon his past." Avery spotted her bodyguard waving at them from a distance and took


    Jed over.


    "So have you managed to get in touch with him? Does he know that you are sick?" Jed asked after


    they got into the car.


    "I haven''t gotten to see him yet, but I will soon." Avery put on her seatbelt ?g(>RLR: said, "Let''s not talk


    about this, Jed. I actually can''t be sure if he wille back with me."


    "Alright! I won''t ask, then."


    Upon arriving at the hospital, Jed took Avery for routine tests prior to the surgery; once that was done,


    the two went into the DSA examination room.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    They injected anesthetic into her body and shortly after that, she lost consciousness.


    In the evening at Gary''s mansion, the front yard was packed with luxury cars and the event hall on the


    second floor was lit with lights.


    It was the first time Elliot and Ruby invited guests over since they got married.


    Because of how desperate Gary was in getting the two married, there was no time in arranging


    anything at all, so the two did not have a wedding.


    "Why hasn''t Avery arrived?" Gary checked the time and mocked, "Maybe she''s decided not toe


    here after all?"
