Chapter 1385


    Avery woke up from her sleep sometimeter but saw no one inside her ward.


    Neither Elliot nor the bodyguard was there.


    She remembered Elliot saying that he would keep herpany there, so she took out her phone and


    checked the time.


    It was an hour to midnight.


    She felt nothing but pain at the moment.


    She found Elliot''s number from her contacts and hit dial.


    "You''re awake, Avery?" Elliot asked. "I''ll apany you right away."


    Her lips moved and her voice was very soft. "You don''t need toe if it''s not convenient for you..."


    "I''m in the hospital. I''ll go there right away, " Elliot said and ended the call.


    Jed''s body had been sent to the hospital, so the most pressing issue was to find out why Jed died so


    suddenly.


    Furthermore, there was the question of why he sent that kind of message to Avery. If he was going to


    leave, what could have prevented him from leaving?


    There was this feeling that the death was a murder instead of idental.


    Elliot returned to the ward with the bodyguard.


    The first thing Avery asked when she saw him was, "Did you go out to smoke?"


    "No." "Yes!"


    They spoke at the same time but with different answers.


    The calmness on Avery''s face was reced by curiosity "What were you doing?"


    The bodyguard kept his mouth shut and let Elliot speak.


    "He had a smoke. I had ate-night snack." Elliot ended his sentences concisely and went to the


    bedside to sit down. "Are you feeling better now?"


    "Yeah. Why did Gary agree to let me go all of a sudden?" she asked.


    "Ruby convinced him," Elliot said truthfully.


    "I see. So Ruby doesn''t want me to stay here at all," she said weakly. "Because she’ll have you all to


    herself if I leave."


    "Don''t let your imagination run wild," Elliot said. He looked at the bodyguard and said,"


    You should go back and rest."


    "Right... I''ll leave then. See you tomorrow morning." The bodyguard strode out after talking to Avery.


    The two of them nned to tell her about Jed''s death after she was discharged from the hospital.


    Her emotions should not be provoked after her brain surgery.


    The next day, Elliot went back to rest after the nurse gave Avery medicine for the day.


    She was feeling much betterpared to the previous day. The pain had lessened


    She felt like having some nd soup, so she told her bodyguard to get it for her.


    It did not take long for her cell phone to ring after her bodyguard went out.


    It was an unknown number that seemed toe from Bridgedale.


    Avery was stunned: "Didn''t Jed return to the country?"N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Avery frowned and felt that something was wrong.


    The call ended as soon as she exined where she was.


    Where else could he be if he did not return to Bridgedale?


    Avery wondered if something had happened to Jed.
