"Robert was ill when he was born and you gave him your blood without letting anyone know, even if it meant you would die. You weren't afraid, then, so why should I be?" Her tears rolled down her cheeks at his words.
An hour later, Wesley returned with breakfast for them and Shea immediately dragged him out of the room.
"Shea, why are your eyes all red? Have you been crying? What's wrong? Your brother is awake now?" Wesley glanced at her reddened eye and patted her on the head.
"Help my brother take that thing out of his head," she demanded with her head bowed.
The gentle expression instantly faded from his face. "Elliot told you to say that?" "He said he is in pain and he wants it to stop." Shea leaned her head against Wesley's shoulder and sobbed. "I don't want to see him in so much pain. He's not beggedfor anything... This is the first the has ever asked for my help.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWesley, I don't know how I can refuse him... If I do, he would be devastated." Tears welled up in Wesley's eyes. If he listened to Shea and helped to remove the device from Elliot's head, Avery would resent him if Elliot died the surgery; however, from el according to what he knew about Shea, she would be livid if he refused her request.

Half an hour later, Wesley entered the room alone to talk to Elliot.
Elliot had already finished his breakfast and was leaning on his bed to rest. As soon as he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes. "Elliot, why would you say something like that to Shea? Do you really have a death wish?" Wesley stood by the bed and looked down at him.
"I thought it through." Elliot's expression remained calm.
"Thought what through?! You are trying to die without Avery here to stop you! How upset would she be when she finds out?!" "Stop using her against me. Wesley, it hurtsmore to becher burden, to watch her getting blackmailed because of me! I should have died back in Ylore and the past few days have all been a bonus to me. I don't regret anything." Effiot was determined. "I hope you remember that you are Shea's husband, not Avery's. You should know who you should listen to, right?" Wesley was overwhelmed by sorrow when he realized he couldn't convince Elliot otherwise. "This kind of surgery is too complicated. I can't do it." so will "Then find someone who can," Elliot said." You are not the one in pain, so you can get on that high horse and askto live my life the way you think I should, but Wesley, have you ever considered how I feel? Avery will survive without me, and the kids. The world wouldn't stop spinning just because one person dies. You can't askto live in misery simply because they would be sad for a while when I'm gone. None of you know my pain." Wesley cto a decision and agreed in tears, "You are right. You have the right to decide when you want to end your life. I respect that. I will contact a doctor for you." "Thank you." Elliot's expression darkened as he added, "Don't tell Avery about this. If she calls to look for me, make up skind of excuse for me. I don't want to hear her voice anymore."
