Chapter 1584
The injury did look a little scary at a nce.
"| applied some ointmentst night. It was dark in color, which is why the injury looks a little scary." Avery returned the phone to
Elliot. "It''s not as painful today as it was yesterday."
"It is better to be safe and go to the hospital, " Elliot insisted. "It''s inconvenient for you to apply the ointment yourself at home."
"| don’t find it inconvenient." She then offered up another random reason, "My mother said that it''s bad luck to start the year with
a visit to the hospital.”
Elliot was speechless and so was the doctor.
Avery was a doctor too from what they remembered. It came as a surprise that she would say something so superstitious.
Asick person ought to visit the hospital as soon as possible, regardless of the asion.
Nevertheless, Elliot did not question her.
"Did you bring any medication?" he asked the doctor.
The doctor immediately took out the ointment he brought.
"Could you treat her swelling please," he said.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
"Of course," the doctor replied before turning to Avery. "Miss Tate, | cane over every day and apply the ointment for you, but
you shouldn''t wash your hair anytime soon. Stay home as much as you can, and once the new year holidays are over, you
should go to the hospital and get it checked. How did you injure yourself though?"
That question caused the atmosphere to drop down to a freezing point.
Elliot''s Adam''s apple bobbed in his throat and he was about to speak when Avery said, "I identally fell.”
“Ohl! It must be a very hard fall then.
Lemme guess, it was the bathroom?" The doctor took out some antiseptic and disinfected her. "Don''t underestimate the trauma
from a fall. I''ve seen people with broken calves and paralysis on one half of the body after a fall. Such cases require several
months of rest before there''s any improvement..."
"Didn''t your elders teach you about new year taboos?" Avery asked curtly. "Unlucky stuff are best not to be mentioned at the start
of the year."
The doctor was speechless.
Elliot looked at her calm appearance =c)? VJW< asked, "Are you sure it doesn’t hurt anymore?”
Avery red at him out of the corner of her eyes. "Would you like to fall like | did and check for yourself? | didn''t say it didn''t hurt
at all. | said it didn''t hurt as much as yesterday."
The doctor immediately asked, "Miss Tate, did you injure yourself anywhere other than your head?"
"No," Avery replied.
The doctor was stunned for a moment: "Ah, then this is a good fall, so to speak! It was just a little knock on the cab, then!"
"Yeah."
Elliot watched as she lied with a straight face and knew right then that she was trying to protect his reputation.
The more she lied for him, the more he felt guilty.
"| drank too muchst night and hurt her by ident when | got into a fight," Elliot told him the truth.
The doctor was stunned. His hands trembled a little and he regretted being too talkative. If he had known it earlier, he would not
have kept on asking.
"Well, umm... Were you hurt in that
fight, Mr. Foster?" [ edactotgiahted

“| was punched," Elliot replied.
His head hurt too.
After the doctor treated Avery''s injury, he immediately nced at the area where
Elliot was beaten.
His injury was a little less severe than Avery but it needed to be treated too.
Avery did not look at his injury. She
was feeling hungry, so be walked! \

The doctor nced at her and whispered to Elliot, "Is she angry with you?"
"You can tell?"
"It’s pretty obvious. She used to care
a lot about you, but she treated her,

The doctor''s words made absolute sense and there was nothing Elliot could say to refute it.
