Chapter 1362


    At the mansion, Elliot and Ruby were in the dining hall having dinner.


    "Elliot, why did you leave so early this morning?" Ruby asked cautiously, breaking the silence.


    "Your dad got me to apany him to your sister-inw''s this morning," Elliot said calmly. He changed


    the topic. "Have you given any thought tost night’s suggestion?"


    "I have," Ruby said. "I won''t force you to do it, but I can''t sleep with your bodyguard. Elliot, I am your


    wife. Other than you, I will not sleep with other men."


    Elliot saw her stubbornness, and he instantly furrowed his brows. "What if I don''t touch you for the rest


    of your life?" "If that''s the case... I won''t tell my father," whispered Ruby. She seemed heartbroken." I


    went to the hospital today. The doctor told me that I can try for a test tube baby."


    Elliot’s eyes sparkled a little. "That works too, but don''t let your father find out about it."


    "I know. I''ll be careful." Hope sparked in Ruby when she heard the tenderness in his voice. "Will you


    apany me to the sperm bank?"


    Elliot said, "You''ll have to go by yourself. I''ll be busy." Pity coursed through him and he paused. "If I


    were to apany you to the hospital, your father might realize that something is going on," he finally


    said.


    "Oh- oh! That''s right. I''ll go alone!" Ruby was extremely satisfied with his exnation. "Elliot, I think it''ll


    be very good if we could just remain polite to each other, like we are now. " "Do you really think so?"


    "Yes. Actually, I''m not really into sex," Ruby said honestly. "I only want you to stay by my side.

    "There are still plenty of things you can do. You haven''t graduated yet, right? You can go back to school


    and make some friends." Elliot was full and ced his utensils down.


    Ruby stared at his back, roughly understanding what he meant. He did not want her to be a burden.


    The woman he liked was like Avery— a capable woman.


    The next day, Jed and Avery''s bodyguard sent Avery to the hospital.


    Jed had booked the VIP ward for her. The ward had two beds: one for the patient, :g''> VNS= the other


    for a guest. She would be alone in her ward.


    She looked at the guest bed awkwardly.


    After Jed had checked her into her ward, he went to arrange for an operation theater.


    The bodyguard sat down on the guest bed and said, "Miss Tate, while you''re recovering from your


    surgery, I''ll stay here and look after you."


    Avery immediately refused. "I''ll find a caretaker."


    "The caretaker can look after you during the day! I''ll watch over you at night." The bodyguard was


    afraid that she would be in danger. Bad people usually acted at night.


    During the day, the doctors and nurses were there, so he was not afraid.


    "Are you worried because I''m here?" The bodyguard saw the strange expression on Avery''s face. He


    grumbled and said, "Then, get Jed to watch over you at night. I''ll look after you during the day."


    Avery was speechless.


    Coming out of the bathroom, shey in bed and picked up her phone. She thought about informing


    Mike of her surgery.


    After her mother''s death, besides her children, Mike was her closest friend.


    She dialed Mike’s number and patiently waited for the phone to connect.


    Avery was stunned. "What happened? What''s going on?"
