NovelAppAt the mansion, Elliot and Ruby were in the dining hall having dinner.
"Elliot, why did you leave so early this morning?" Ruby asked cautiously, breaking the silence.
"Your dad got me to accompany him to your sister-in-law's this morning," Elliot said calmly. He changed the topic.
"Have you given any thought to last night's suggestion?" "I have," Ruby said. "I won't force you to do it, but | can't sleep with your bodyguard. Elliot, | am your wife. Other than you, | will not sleep with other men." Elliot saw her stubbornness, and he instantly furrowed his brows. "What if | don't touch you for the rest of your life?" "If that's the case... | won't tell my father," whispered Ruby. She seemed heartbroken." | went to the hospital today. The doctor told me that | can try for a test tube baby." Elliot's eyes sparkled a little. "That works too, but don't let your father find out about it." "I know. I'll be careful." Hope sparked in Ruby when she heard the tenderness in his voice. "Will you accompany me to the sperm bank?" Elliot said, "You'll have to go by yourself. I'll be busy." Pity coursed through him and he paused. "If | were to accompany you to the hospital, your father might realize that something is going on," he finally said.

"Oh- oh! That's right. I'll go alone!" Ruby was extremely satisfied with his explanation. "Elliot, | think it'll be very good if we could just remain polite to each other, like we are now. " "Do you really think so?" "Yes. Actually, I'm not really into sex," Ruby said honestly. "I only want you to stay by my side. Christopher is dead. Other than you and my father, there is no one else." "There are still plenty of things you can do. You haven't graduated yet, right? You can go back to school and make some friends." Elliot was full and placed his utensils down.
Ruby stared at his back, roughly understanding what he meant. He did not want her to be a burden. The woman he liked was like Avery— a capable woman.
The next day, Jed and Avery's bodyguard sent Avery to the hospital.
Jed had booked the VIP ward for her. The ward had two beds: one for the patient, :g'> VNS= the other for a guest. She would be alone in her ward.
She looked at the guest bed awkwardly.
After Jed had checked her into her ward, he went to arrange for an operation theater.
The bodyguard sat down on the guest bed and said, "Miss Tate, while you're recovering from your surgery, I'll stay here and look after you." Avery immediately refused. "I'll find a caretaker." "The caretaker can look after you during the day! I'll watch over you at night." The bodyguard was afraid that she would be in danger. Bad people usually acted at night.
During the day, the doctors and nurses were there, so he was not afraid.
"Are you worried because I'm here?" The bodyguard saw the strange expression on Avery's face. He grumbled and said, "Then, get Jed to watch over you at night. I'll look after you during the day." Avery was speechless.

"There. The hospital gown looks nice! Go get change!" The bodyguard treated her silence as her tacit agreement to his suggestion. At the same time, he placed the hospital gown in her hands.
She took the hospital gown to the bathroom and got changed. After changing into the hospital gown, she looked at herself in the mirror. Despite how gloomy she looked, she believed that things would get better soon.
Coming out of the bathroom, she lay in bed and picked up her phone. She thought about informing Mike of her surgery.
After her mother's death, besides her children, Mike was her closest friend.
She dialed Mike’s number and patiently waited for the phone to connect.
A few seconds later, Mike picked up her call. "Avery, have you heard all about it? Sigh. I'm so sorry! | really want to kill myself!" Avery was stunned. "What happened? What's going on?"
