Chapter 1369


    Elliot entered the doctor''s office. He asked the doctor on duty about Gary''s condition. Once he was


    done, he left the office and headed straight for the nearby elevator.


    After walking in, he pressed the number for the floor below him.


    The elevator reached his destination in no time, and he walked out.


    Instead of going directly to ward V03, he went to the neurosurgeon''s office.


    The doctor was stunned to see Elliot.


    He sat down opposite the doctor and said, ” I want to know how Avery is doing."


    "This... This involves the patient''s privacy.


    I am unable to tell you anything." The doctor looked nervous. Elliot had clearly put him in a tight spot.


    "You could speak to her if you know her."


    "She said it is a minor operation. I want to know if it''s a minor operation or not." He changed his


    phrasing.


    The doctor pushed his spectacles higher up his nose and considered Elliot''s request. Finally, he said,


    "She doesn''t trust Ylore''s doctors, and a doctor from Bridgedale is performing the operation. Does it


    sound like a minor one or a major one to you?"


    Elliot frowned, immediately got up, and was about to leave for Avery''s ward when the doctor said, "This


    is a minor operation for Miss Tate, so she wasn’t technically lying to you."


    Elliot sat down again, calmed himself down a bit, and said, "She got a specialist from Bridgedale?"


    "Yes. Initially, I was her doctor, but after she received the results of her checkup, she decided to get a


    specialist from Bridgedale. She was not too confident in my skills. She did mention that he was her


    university ssmate and that he is now a specialist in a big hospital! It''s an amazing achievement at


    such a young age!"


    "Jed Hutchinson?"


    "That''s him! Not only is Dr. Hutchinson a renowned expert at such a young age, but he also has a


    knack for making


    connections! He had even invited me to a meeting with vice president Miller!"


    "When did she register with the hospital?"


    "Some time ago. Wasn’t long after your surgery at our hospital!"


    Elliot’s heart tightened all of a sudden. She hade here shortly after his surgery ?h"=TLY: had


    discovered that she was suffering from a very serious illness.


    Yet despite all this, she still insisted on making him remember her in hopes of bringing him home. She


    could have just left him in Ylore and headed back to Bridgedale to seek better treatment after finding


    out that she was ill.


    On the contrary, she had chosen to call a doctor from Bridgedale so she could get treatment here.


    Elliot felt a sudden throbbing in his head.


    She loved him! There was no doubt about that! It was unfortunate that he had doubted her love for so

    long.


    Had Gary not been hospitalized after the fall, he would not have known that she was hospitalized


    because of her illness.


    She never had any intention of telling him about it.


    Half an hourter, the bodyguard came to the hospital after his shower.


    As he approached ward V03, he suddenly caught glimpse of a familiar figure.


    On the balcony, next to the VIP ward''s corridor, stood a tall figure.


    It looked like... Elliot!


    The bodyguard walked over, confirmed Elliot''s identity, then raised his hand and patted the man''s


    shoulder.


    "Mr. Foster!"


    Elliot tensed, then rxed when he registered the familiar voice. He snuffed out the cigarette he was


    holding and threw it into the trash can next to him before turning around.


    "I haven''t," he said calmly. "When will she go in for surgery?"


    Elliot was speechless.


    Avery and the doctor had said that it was something mild, so the bodyguard''s words left him confused.
