After Jed's death, Avery had been in contact with his family through phone and text messages.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth of Jed’s parents were highly educated and understanding by nature. Though Jed's death had affected them greatly, they had not blamed Avery for it at all, and this made Avery feel more guilty.
Elliot and Avery arrived at the Hutchinsons ' house and tears instantly gathered in her eyes when she saw the gray hairs around Mrs. Hutchinson's temples.
"Auntie, | have been meaning to pay you a visit but my husband had been severely injured, so | had to delay my visit." Mrs. Hutchinson poured them two glasses of water with a serious expression. "I told you not to come. It's too much trouble for you! It's not Jed's death that pains us most, but the fact that Jennifer had died in a foreign country trying to avenge him..." Mrs. Hutchinson could not help but sob, and Avery immediately took stissues to help wipe away her tears.
"Auntie, you have to take care of yourself. If Jed and Jennifer could see how sad you are, they would be sad too." Mrs. Hutchinson suppressed the piercing pain in her heart and said while sobbing," Jennifer is like my own daughter. She would spend a great deal of ttalking towhenever she visited. She even said that once she married Jed, they wouldn't move out and would stay here with us... She was such a gentle and quiet child. How could she possibly summon up the courage to avenge Jed's death on her own?" Avery had never met Jennifer before, but Mrs. Hutchinson's description helped her form a clear image of the woman.

Hutchinson tapped his wife on the back. "I thought you had something to ask, Avery? Go on, then!" "Auntie, if there's something you want to know, please ask. | will tell you everything that | know," Avery immediately said.
Mrs. Hutchinson took a deep breath to readjust herself, before asking, "Jed was poisoned to death, but why would Gary Gould kill my son? My son was just an ordinary doctor! He was staying in the shotel as you your bodyguard, so why didn't Gary kill your bodyguard but go for my son instead?" Avery had thought about this question before and said, "Maybe Gary didn't want Jed to operate on me." Apart from this, she could not think of another reason.
"But Jed isn't the only one who could operate on you!" Mrs. Hutchinson scowled." Your surgery isn't that difficult, and doctors in Ylore did it in the end, didn't they? If Gary was trying to prevent doctors from treating you, why didn't he kill the doctor that actually operated on you? That person is still alive, right?" Mrs. Hutchinson's words left Avery deep in thought.
She could not answer this question. If Gary indeed killed Jed to stop him from treating her, how else could she explain the fact that she got the surgery after Jed’s death in Ylore? Mrs. Hutchinson studied the confusion on Avery's face and sighed a long breath.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. Nothing out of the ordinary happened before Jed was murdered, so | have no clue as to why they did it," Avery apologized. "But there has to be something more to his death." "Yeah! Why else did they choose to kill him and not someone else?" With a sorrowful look in her eyes, Mrs. Hutchinson said, "I guess this is just his fate!"
