Chapter 1370


    When thest word had left the bodyguard''s lips, Elliot strode to ward V03.


    He did not bother knocking. He barged into the room.


    The lights were on, and Avery was lying in bed. Her eyes were closed, but she had yet to fall asleep.


    The sudden movement caused her to immediately open her eyes.


    She had thought that it was her bodyguard, back after his shower, so she was shocked to see Elliot,


    standing in the ward.


    Avery immediately sat up after seeing him.


    "Lie down!" He walked to the side of the hospital bed and gazed down at her. "You have a tumor in your


    brain?"


    She had justin down when she heard his question. Her body suddenly became hot and restless as


    she asked, "Did you ask around?"

    "Your bodyguard told me." He sat down in the nearby chair. "Why didn''t you take good care of yourself


    when you knew you were sick? I’ll recover my memory when the timees."


    "I''m worried that you would have fallen in love with Ruby, adapted to life here, and never return to


    Aryadelle again," she said, expressing all of her worries. "My illness isn''t that serious. Dying it for a


    bit won''t hurt."


    "You''re right. Dy it. Let it fester and grow. Allow it to reach a stage where all you can do is wait for


    death. That way I''ll be able to date Ruby with a clear conscience even if I do recover my memories,” he


    said calmly, following her line of reason.


    Avery was speechless. She wondered just how vicious this man''s words could be.


    "I''ve nned my surgery, haven''t I?" she said sternly, her face growing red.


    "Why didn''t you keep procrastinating?" he asked.


    She sighed. "What else could I do? You''ve already agreed to Gary''s request. There is nothing left for


    me to do, but wait and see if you decided to get out of there?"


    "You''ve finally epted your fate, I see.”


    "I didn''t want to drag my illness on forever. " She did not want to die when she was living just fine.


    "I’ll think of a way to get Nick to send you back to Aryadelle after your surgery." He hesitated for a


    moment, then said, "I might not be able to return anytime soon, so you should go back VLV> live your


    life—"


    "I''d rather you not talk about that." She had a headache after hearing that.


    "Go to sleep!” He ended the conversation.


    "I can''t sleep with you here. "


    "Then I''ll go."


    "I didn''t ask you to leave." She grabbed his arm. "Stay with me for a while."


    He looked at her and said, "You''re sick. You shouldn''t be sleepingte."


    He did not mind staying up with her had she not been sick, but when he thought about that huge tumor


    growing in her brain, he did not want her to take it lightly.


    "Then sleep with me for a while." She refused to let go of his arm. "Gary’s not going to wake up


    anytime soon."


    He thought about it for a moment and felt that it was both inappropriate and harmless at the same time.


    "Have you been restless these past few days? Look at those eyebags." She sat up, moved, and


    forcibly pulled him down to the hospital bed.


    Once he settled down beside her, she reached out and hugged him. "Did you smoke?"


    "Are you bothered by the smell?”


    "Do you know why I married Ruby?" he asked after a moment of silence.


    She was stunned for a moment because she had not expected him to talk about such a sensitive topic.


    "Why?" Her curiosity was piqued. "Even if you don''t remember me, you''re not the kind of person who


    would marry a woman on a whim."
