Avery picked up the call, and a male voice from the other end of the line that said, " Avery Tate, there's something | have to tell you." The caller was Nick.
Avery sat up and said, "What is it?" "Do you still want to see Elliot?" asked Nick.
"Of course. Are you going to help me?" asked Avery.
"Naha! Why are you so hard-headed? He already forgot everything about you, why can't you just forget about him?" asked Nick.
"How he treats me is his problem. | have to make sure to do everything in my power to make sure that | don't regret this in the future. I'm sure you didn't call me just to laugh at my predicament,” said Avery.
"Of course not, | have better things to do than laugh at you. Ruby's birthday is coming up in a few days, the Goulds are going to throw a birthday party for her. Are you scared of the sea?" asked Nick.

"The party is scheduled to be held on a yacht. Gary Gould invited me, but | don't feel like going," explained Nick.
"I can go in your place! Is there anything you want me to bring in your place? Any presents? Words?" suggested Avery.
"Hahaha! You should go back to being Doctor Tate, and not get yourself involved in this mess," said Nick.
"Nick, if something like this were to happen to me instead of Elliot. I'm sure he would do the same for me. All | want is for him to get his memories back before he does something he regrets," said Avery.
"If you have already made up your mind, | don’t see the point in saying anything else. Friday morning, come to my house, I'll hand you the present and my driver will drive you," said Nick.
"Thank you. If there's anything you need help with, tell me. I'll do anything | can to repay your kindness," promised Avery.
"Don’t be so optimistic. Do you know why I'm not attending the party? | actually quite like Ruby, she’s like a tame little birdie, no man can refuse a woman like her," said Nick.
Avery of course only felt more complicated feelings when she heard Nick's words.
"Now, what was | talking about? Yes, why I'm not going. Because her brother is back. Every time | see her brother, | want to murder that bastard,” explained Nick.
"Why? Did he do something to cross you?" asked Avery.
Avery knew that, if not for Elliot, Christopher would probably have attacked her.
"Mickey died trying to save him, but this dumb f*ck, instead of learning his lesson, decided to keep looking for more trouble ?e "? UMX; that resulted in the death of Jim," said Nick.
Avery could hear the anger in his voice, and how much strain he put on his voice to sound nonchalant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"And is that why the seven of you became so distant?" asked Avery.
"No, Elliot left us a long time ago. But yes, that was why the others became so distant. Well, to be exact, it's the four of us, with both Mickey and Jim dead. It wasn't easy for us to accept their passing," said Nick.
"| understand what you mean," said Avery.
"You don't understand shit! Don't think just because you are a doctor, you can make assumptions about us. You have no idea what kind of terms we are on. | don't even want to know anything about them anymore, | am utterly disgusted by them," said Nick.
Avery could not react to how fast Nick's attitude changed.
"Are you bewildered by my sudden change in attitude? Naha, you should have seen how Elliot and Barry used to be. They are ten times worse. Elliot is surrounded by enemies. Just Christopher is a big enough trouble for Elliot!" said Nick.
"Why am | even telling you this, just know that if Christopher knows about your past with Elliot, if anything happens to him, you would surely follow in his path.
Considering that you saved me before, I'll be sure to bury the both of you if anything does happen to you," said Nick.
