Elliot looked at Avery, who fell to the ground coldly.
His condescending and arrogant look reminded her of when they first met many years ago.
Back then, he had just woken up after being a vegetable. He was cold and heartless to whomever, just like how he was at that moment.
Why was he like that? He treated her as if they were strangers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo. He did not treat her like a stranger. He treated her as if she was the enemy. He thought that all his loss was due to her. He said he wanted her to pay the painful price.
She was suddenly curious as to how he was going to make her pay! He retracted his cold gaze from her and strode away. When he passed her by, he brought a gust of wind along too! The night breeze was like a slap on her face! It made her burn in pain.
Avery painfully thought that if she was going to die soon, he might not even look at her.
Soon after, the bodyguard rushed over and picked Avery up.
"Miss Tate! Are you alright?! | should have listened to Doctor Hutchinson and not let you come!" The bodyguard lifted Avery. " Did the talk with Elliot go badly? | saw him going to his new wife." Avery cried and said hoarsely, "He has changed..." "Men who have new lovers would be like that." The bodyguard quickly brought her away from the Goulds Mansion. "I'll send you to the hospital! If Doctor Hutchinson sees you in this state, he will surely not let you out again." "I don't understand. How could he have fallen in love with another woman so quickly...” The bodyguard put her in the car and buckled her seatbelt before passing the tissue box to her.
"Miss Tate. | think your treatment is more important right now. When you fell to the ground just now, could you not get up?" The bodyguard thought about how she slumped to the ground looking helpless. He was rather heartbroken for her.
Elliot was too cruel! How dare he treat his ex-wife that way just to profess his loyalty to Gary.
Avery's head hurt. She did not know if it was because she was sad, or was it because her sickness was flaring up.
She hugged the tissue box ;e)?VJV> cried painfully, closing her eyes.
Everything was a mess.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had lost Elliot! She had lost everything.
Even if she brought Shea out in front of him, it would not change the situation at all.
Elliot and she were already in a deadlock.
At the Goulds Mansion, Gary was extremely satisfied with Elliot.
"Elliot, I didn't misjudge you! You are indeed worth relying on!" Gary patted Elliot's shoulders. "I'm not worried about Ruby being with you in the future.” Elliot lit a cigarette between his fingers. " The surgery was indeed useful. | can't remember what happened between Avery and me. | am now not interested in women at all." "That's how a man should be! Focusing on his career!" Gary brought Elliot to the main hall. "You have a stable family right now.
Your body has recovered too. | have an important job to pass to you. As long as you do it well, | will slowly pass the work | have for you to manage." Elliot followed Gary into the golden hall.
At the inpatient unit of the hospital, Avery lay in bed but found it hard to sleep.
Elliot's reactions were too strange that night. He did not seem like he was being threatened by someone else.
