The package was small and light when she picked it up. She glanced at the details stated on the box and found out that it was from Aryadelle and the sender was 'W'.
Realizing that it was from Wesley, she immediately tensed as she was overwhelmed by curiosity.
She found a pocket knife and opened the package.

There was a blue box inside and Mike immediately snatched it away out of Avery's hands. "Judging from the look on your face, you don't seem to know what it is. I will open it, just in case it's dangerous!" Mike said, before proceeding to open the blue box.
He froze as soon as the box was open because he could not tell what it was and whether it was dangerous.
"Letsee." Concerned, Hayden took it from Mike before Avery could reach for it.
Avery scowled as she watched Hayden take the item, and she could not help but feel a wave of familiarity wash over her.
Soon, she was overcby an ominous feeling, and she immediately took out her phone to call Wesley, who had been waiting for her to call all along.
He picked up right away. "Avery, have you received the package I sent you?" "Yeah. What is it?" She struggled to remain calm, even though she already knew the answer to that question.
"It's the device inside Elliot's brain. Three days ago, I hired a doctor to take it out," Wesley confessed. "I'm sorry, Avery. I didn't dare to tell you about it because I promised Ellot that won't say anything to you until after the surgery. And after that..." "What happened after that? It's been three days since the surgery! How is he doing?!" She shouted hysterically.
Mike and Hayden immediately leaned closer to her to listen to the conversation.

"He's not dead, Avery. He's still alive, but he hasn't regained consciousness, either. I've found a ། few known neurosurgeons here and they said that he's still not awake because he had two major surgeries in his brain within a rather period of time, so the dan ort is quite considerable, and he's kind of weak because of that. The doctors said he is not in critical danger, but that is if he can wake up." Avery's chest tightened before she relaxed again.
"I'm sorry, Avery. Elliot was determined and he would rather die than be at someone's mercy. He didn't want you to be threatened into doing something you don't want, so he made the call," he apologized sincerely.
"How could you listen to him?" She felt slightly betrayed. She had trusted Wesley to keep an eye on Elliot, yet Wesley had hidden such important information from her.
"He asked Shea for help and she cto me," he said with resignation. "You know that Shea would obey anything he says." "I get it." She wiped away her tears.
"It's good that you did it. I was going to take it out myself once I returned to Aryadelle. I met with Oliver Raven tonight and he toldThere's a chance that the device is justa scam." "Elliot would have gotten to know about that if only he got the surgery a few days later." Wesley started to regret what they had done. "We should have waited and we wouldn't have been this terrified." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1
