Chapter 1325


    "I''m going to sleep in the guest bedroom." He took his pillow and started walking away.


    "Elliot, can you please stay?" Ruby begged in a soft voice. "I won’t touch you."


    "I''m just worried that I might bump into your wound." Seeing how lowly her tone was, he said, "We will


    see once you recover."


    Ruby was instantly satisfied by his exnation.


    "Elliot, there''s something I need to remind you of." She reached out to turn on the nightlight on her side


    of the bed. "I did some research on Avery today, and I finally understand why you like her. She is really


    brilliant, but Elliot, this is Ylore. My father doesn''t like her, and for her and for your own sake, it''s best


    that you stay away from her. You can go out and find other women if you need to. I won''t get mad, but I


    don''t want you to get into a fight with my father over Avery."


    Ruby finally got a clear look at the hickey on Elliot''s neck.


    "I know," he responded coldly.


    "Then why won''t you send her away?" she asked. "You managed to get her off the yacht back then, so


    why can''t you send her away from Ylore? You can do it if only you are determined."


    Elliot stared at Ruby''s face. She was lying in the bed, but she looked awake.


    "You think you are so smart, don''t you?" he sneered. "It''s better you remain a fool if you want to keep


    me."

    Ruby felt pained by his words. Every word she said was sincere, but not only did he not appreciate her,


    but he was also irritated by her.


    "I''m sorry, Elliot."


    "Sleep!" He said emotionlessly, before leaving the master bedroom with his pillow.


    Shortly after the door closed, tears rolled down Ruby''s face.


    Avery drove back to the hotel and spotted her bodyguard squatting outside the hotel entrance with a


    cigarette in his hand. She stopped the car.


    When the bodyguard saw that Avery was back, he immediately rushed toward her.


    "Miss Tate, what took you so long?" He put the cigarette out. "Did you two go looking for Hayden?"


    "Yeah." Avery did go looking for Hayden with Elliot, but despite searching through a few major hotels,


    they could not find him.


    "He is probably staying somewhere near our hotel. He wasn''t wearing his hat or carrying his backpack


    when he came over, " said the bodyguard, venturing a guess.


    Avery beamed. "Why didn''t you say that earlier?"


    "You didn''t give me a chance to! Were you in so much shock that you passed out? I heard you run out


    of breath—"


    "Yeah, I had a bit of a heatstroke." She strode into the hotel =g#;QMW= said, "Let''s search the area


    around us tomorrow."


    Time flew and soon it was morning.


    At eight in the morning, he woke up in his king-sized bed and grabbed his phone to check the time.


    To his surprise, an odd sight appeared as he unlocked the screen of his phone.


    The sight before him reminded him of a scene in one of the horror movies he had watched.


    "Someone is after my life, but who?!" he thought.
