Avery was not asking but giving an order.


    She hung up the video call shortly after that.


    Elliot put the phone down, walked into the shower, and turned on the shower tap.


    Then, warm water slid along his hair and down his body.


    He was disturbed because she said she wasing to rescue him, just like how Jed''s girlfriend wanted to take revenge for Jed.


    She did not hesitate even though she knew her effort might kill her.


    Elliot knew that if Jed had been alive, Jed would not have let his girlfriend risk her life to avenge his death.


    Elliot still remembered how Jed''s girlfriend looked at him when he watched her get trampled on the ground by the bodyguard


    after she had attempted to assassinate Gary.


    Her eyes were very bright. Yet, there was no anger but only relief.


    Elliot decided to save her at that instance because the stubbornness in her eyes reminded him of Avery.


    He thought if he died in Ylore, Avery might be like Jed''s girlfriend, seeking revenge on Gary for his death.


    However, he did not want Avery to save him! Whether he needed rescuing or not, he did not need her to be there for him.


    After showering, he came out of the bathroom and saw Ruby standing next to his bed.


    "Elliot, my father will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so let''s pick him up tomorrow!" Ruby told her n to Elliot, "I''ll


    plead with my father to forgive you. Just remember to say nothing then."


    Elliot walked to her side, picked up the sobering drink, and took a sip.


    The drink was a bit sour, but it was very refreshing.


    He finished the drink, and she immediately took the empty ss.


    "It''s veryte already. You should go to bed! We''ll talk about it tomorrow," said Elliot to Ruby as he saw her uneased face. His


    eyes then slid from her face till theynded on her stomach.


    She followed his gaze, nced at her belly, and said with a smile, "Our baby is still very tiny! My belly isn''t that obvious yet!"


    "Yeah, | know," he said in a t tone.


    When Avery was pregnant with Robert, Elliot was always by her side.


    He knew how hard it was for a woman to carry a child,


    After finishing dressing up at eight o''clock the next day, Ruby came to Elliot''s room and knocked on the door.


    She remembered telling himst night they were going to the hospital that day to get Gary home.


    Although he did not explicitly agreest night, it did not seem to her that he would refuse it.


    She knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. Hence, she braved up and opened the door.


    However, she only saw a nicely folded nket on the bed. She could tell the nket was folded by the nanny.


    Bizarrely, the nanny had just told her


    that Elliot was still sleeping adil

    She immediately went back to her room, grabbed her cell phone, and dialed Elliot.


    [Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off, please try againter.]


    Ruby did not expect that Elliot would switch his phone off!


    That was the first time he switched his phone off since he came to Ylore.


    She suddenly felt the space around her spinning and did not know what to do.


    ''Did he go back to Aryadelle already?!" she thought.
