Avery and Jed's teacher agreed to meet at a cafe.
When they met, Jed's teacher passionately shook Avery's hand. "Avery, | have heard Jed mention you before. He calledbefore he went to Ylore to look for you.” Avery was a little surprised. "What did he say?" "He said that you trust him a lot, so he was rather nervous," Jed's teacher said.
"Once he reached Ylore, | called him to ask about his situation. He wanted to protect your privacy, so he wasn't willing to disclose much to me, and | didn't ask him any further." "I was the one who told him not to tell anyone about my condition." "lI understand. When | heard about his death, | visited his parents. They were very sad, but | didn't dare to ask them about it."

These are the checkup reports that Jed did for me. One day before the surgery, he hadon general anesthesia. You should know that general anesthesia is harmful to the body.

He said that the dosage was not up to the dosage of general anesthesia. | didn't doubt him then, so | didn't follow up.

He hoped that | would quickly undergo surgery to get better soon. | don't believe that he was faking it. He would never try to harm me." "Can't you find out the reason?" Avery shook her head. "If | could do so, | wouldn't have clooking for you. We have completely no more connections with the people at Ylore anymore." "Then, there's nothing we can do anymore. | am only sure that Jed would never mess about. He must have his own troubles." "| feel relieved after hearing what you said.

If | look for her, she might even take advantage to get close to you."
