The bodyguard scratched his head too. " Beats me! She's supposed to have a checkup today..." "Where's Jed?" "I have no idea! He's probably waiting for the results!" The bodyguard would only do whatever Jed told him to do.
"Have you eaten yet?" Elliot asked.
The bodyguard shook his head. "I've been looking after her!" "Then you should get something to eat," Elliot said. "I'll take over." "Oh, sure! Have you eaten? Would you like me to get you some too?" "I have. Bring some for her." "Okay," the bodyguard said and strode out of the ward.
Elliot sat down in the chair beside the hospital bed.
He felt as if she was no longer alive when he looked at her pale face while she slept.
He could not resist holding her hand, which felt slightly cold.
Her fingers moved slightly as soon as he held her hand.

She was still alive, and he felt a lot more relieved after confirming that.
He retracted his hand and glanced at the bedside table.
There were some fruits on the cabinet as well as her bag.
For some reason, his heart tensed up suddenly when he saw her bag, almost as if he was seeing an old friend that he had not seen in a long time.
He felt drawn to her bag, so he took it and opened it.
There were paper towels, a small bottle of disinfectant, and a pack of cotton swabs...
She was different from other women in that she had no cosmetics in her bag.
As he was about to close it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the middle of the bag.
He opened the compartment and took out a piece of paper.
He saw his handwriting when he unfolded it, and then he realized that his accounts and passwords were all written down.
His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
He wrote all that for her.
It stood to reason that he would not have revealed his privacy if he had not loved her deeply and trusted her.
He suddenly remembered that she had written down her various account passwords for him on a notepad a while ago because he had once revealed his account passwords to her too.

As he was in a trance, the phone Avery placed on the pillow rang.
He immediately stuffed the note back into the compartment ?a"=X]P< put it back in the cabinet.
Just as he was wondering whether or not to answer the phone for her, she opened her eyes suddenly and woke up.
Her beautiful eyes were stained with surprise when she saw him sitting beside the bed.
"Why are you here?" She just woke up from the anesthesia, so there was a brief moment where she was unable to tell the time and place.
"Your bodyguard went to eat." He pointed to her cell phone. "Your cell phone is ringing." She came back to her senses, picked up the phone, and took the video.
A delicate girl's voice came, "Mommy! How did you get sick again? Are you in pain?" When Layla heard about her mother's illness, the distress she felt for Avery overwhelmed her anger at Avery's refusal to go home.
"I'll be okay after some surgery." Avery smiled and changed the subject. "Will you be going back to school soon? Did you have a good time this summer? Have you finished your summer homework?"
