Chapter 1382


    At Bridgedale, Wesley tried calling Avery but no one answered. He dialed Jed''s number but the result


    remained the same.


    Avery was having her surgery that day and Wesley wanted to know how things were progressing.


    Just as he was checking the flights to Ylore and making ns to fly over, Avery finally returned his call.


    "I left my phone to charge in the ward." Avery had been discussing the surgery with the doctor and only


    returned to the ward at that moment.


    "Today''s your surgery day, right?"


    "Yes." Avery was stunned for a moment and immediately exined things to him." Jed had to leave


    because of something urgent, so I told the in-house doctors to proceed with the operation."


    Wesley was taken aback. "What happened? Why did he leave in such a hurry? He could have returned


    after the operation, right? When did he leave?"


    "He sent me a message at four o''clock this morning, so I''m guessing he left at that time." Avery''s mood


    had calmed down by then.


    "Why didn''t he do the operation before leaving?” Wesley was puzzled. "Does he need to leave today?"


    "He might have a bigger emergency, and besides, this isn’t a serious operation..."


    "How is it not a serious operation when your brain is being operated on? This behavior from Jed is


    ridiculous! He shouldn''t have agreed to do the operation if he didn''t n on fulfilling his promise. How


    could he have the decency to just leave on the day of the operation itself?" Wesley sounded incredibly


    displeased. "I''ll call himter!"


    "No, it''s fine. He must have had his troubles, " Avery said immediately. "I''ll call him and ask once the


    operation is over."


    "Are the doctors there capable?"


    "I think they can handle it. Gary frequents this hospital whenever he''s sick." Avery then changed the


    subject, "How are Shea and Adrian?"


    "They''re fine." Wesley was staying with them while waiting for Elliot and Avery to return. "Shea''s feeling


    much better, and Adrian takes really good care of her." "I can''t tell you how much I miss you." "You


    should focus on getting through your surgery safe ;d+ sound. The most important thing right now is for


    you to recover from your illness."


    "Okay."


    "I won''t bother you anymore for now. Send me your bodyguard''s number and I''ll contact him at night."


    "Sure."


    After ending the call, Avery sent the bodyguard''s number to Wesley.


    With an hour left until noon, Elliot returned to the vi.


    Flowers were scattered across the living room floor. Ruby sat beside them as she put them into a vase.


    When she saw Elliot''s return, she immediately put down the scissors and flowers she was holding.


    "Elliot! Is my dad home?"


    "Yes. He''s home. How are you?" Elliot sat down on the sofa and nced at her flower arrangement.

    Elliot looked at Ruby''s sincere expression and said solemnly, "Don''t go looking for her again in the


    future."


    "Okay, you should go ahead! I''m just worried that it''ll put a strain on your health.


    Ruby saw Elliot out and returned to the living room after he left.
