Chapter 2208


    The package was small and light when she picked it up. She nced at the details stated on the


    box and found out that it was from Aryadelle and the sender was ''W''.


    Realizing that it was from Wesley, she immediately tensed as she was overwhelmed by curiosity.


    She found a pocket knife and opened the package.


    "What is it?" Mike stood next to her and tried to look inside the box, while Hayden stood on the


    other side, trying to do the same.


    There was a blue box inside and Mike immediately snatched it away out of Avery''s hands. "Judging


    from the look on your face, you don''t seem to know what it is. I will open it, just in case it''s


    dangerous!" Mike said, before proceeding to open the blue box.


    He froze as soon as the box was open because he could not tell what it was and whether it was


    dangerous.


    "Let me see." Concerned, Hayden took it from Mike before Avery could reach for it.


    Avery scowled as she watched Hayden take the item, and she could not help but feel a wave of


    familiarity wash over her.


    Soon, she was ovee by an ominous feeling, and she immediately took out her phone to call


    Wesley, who had been waiting for her to call all along.


    He picked up right away. "Avery, have you received the package I sent you?"


    "Yeah. What is it?" She struggled to remain calm, even though she already knew the answer to that


    question.


    "It''s the device inside Elliot''s brain. Three days ago, I hired a doctor to take it out," Wesley


    confessed. "I''m sorry, Avery. I didn''t dare to tell you about it because I promised Elliot that I won''t


    say anything to you until after the surgery. And after that..."


    "What happened after that? It''s been three days since the surgery! How is he doing?!" She shouted


    hysterically.


    Mike and Hayden immediately leaned closer to her to listen to the conversation.


    Wesley was still at the hospital. "He''s not dead, Avery. He''s still alive, but he hasn''t regained


    consciousness, either. I''ve found a few known neurosurgeons here and they said that he''s still not


    awake because he had two major surgeries in his brain within a rather short period of time, so the


    damage is quite considerable, and he''s kind of weak because of that. The doctors said he is not in


    critical danger, but that is if he can wake up."


    Avery''s chest tightened before she rxed again.


    "I''m sorry, Avery. Elliot was determined and he would rather die than be at someone''s mercy. He


    didn''t want you to be threatened into doing something you don''t want, so he made the call," he


    apologized sincerely.


    "How could you listen to him?" She felt slightly betrayed. She had trusted Wesley to keep an eye on


    Elliot, yet Wesley had hidden such important information from her.

    "He asked Shea for help and she came to me," he said with resignation. "You know that Shea would


    obey anything he says."


    "I get it." She wiped away her tears. "It''s good that you did it. I was going to take it out myself once I


    returned to Aryadelle. I met with Oliver Raven tonight and he told me that there''s a chance that the


    device is just a scam."


    "Elliot would have gotten to know about that if only he got the surgery a few dayster." Wesley


    started to regret what they had done. "We should have waited and we wouldn''t have been this


    terrified."
