NovelEnglishAvery had lost her appetite, but she knew she had an uphill battle to fight. "Sandwich and milk." "Why are you always eating this?" the bodyguard teased.
"Then, just bring something up." After the call, Avery went to the bathroom to wash up. When the bodyguard brought her breakfast up, she had already changed her clothes.
Jed had followed the bodyguard.
"Close the door," Avery said.

Jed closed the door, and the three of them sat together, discussing the events of last night.
"| think this matter is quite serious. Why don't you two leave?" Avery said as she ate her breakfast. "I don't want to drag you two down." The bodyguard and Jed looked at each other. The bodyguard said, "If we're going to leave you— the patient— here alone, how can we call ourselves men?" Jed said, "Since | have decided to operate on you, | will when you leave." Avery was moved by their answer. "I just sent Elliot a message, but he hasn't replied yet. The sentiment is pointless. You should leave while the Goulds are still making funeral arrangements." The bodyguard leaned back against the sofa. "I'm not going anywhere! What danger could you be in? The last of Gary's sons is dead. Only his daughter is left, and she is married to Elliot. This means the entire Gould family belongs to Elliot..." Jed nudged the bodyguard with his elbow, asking him to shut up about the elephant in the room.
"Do you think Elliot will stay here with Ruby?" Avery set aside her food.
The bodyguard immediately said, "That isn’t what | meant. I'm just telling you not to worry about us. As long as Elliot remains with the Goulds, he will find a way to protect you." "He no longer remembers me!" "But he knows that you're the mother of his children!" Jed looked at them and said, "Stop arguing. There is nothing to argue about. We can't control this. Let's just sit tight and watch." Avery took a bite of her sandwich. The bodyguard had teased her about having sandwiches for breakfast every day, but still, he had bought one for her. He had done so mainly because he was worried that she might not like the rest of the food that was available.
The morticians had arrived at the Goulds' mansion, Gary had rushed over to his son's mansion at three in the morning, and he had been there ever since. He had not gotten a moment's rest. He was old, and he found himself absolutely exhausted by the events that had taken place. His bodyguard helped him back to his mansion so that he might get some rest.
Elliot and Ruby were in Christopher's mansion, welcoming the guests who had come to offer their condolences.
Elliot was supposed to meet Edward and Ted at a hotel, but, in light of the circumstances, they had agreed to meet at Christopher's mansion instead.
News of Christopher's death delighted them! Christopher should have been dead a long time ago, but Gary had always protected him, preventing anyone from murdering him.

"I heard from Nick that it was your son who was behind the murder." Ted and Edward had guided Elliot into a room so that they could have more privacy to discuss matters.
Elliot said, "You can consider it so!" "What is your agreement with Gary?" Ted exhaled a puff of smoke. "Let me guess. He is asking you to stay in Ylore and be his slave." Elliot nodded. With his slender fingers, he grabbed a cigarette from Ted's cigarette box.
He had not slept the entire night. He was exhausted, but his mind paced circles, trying to figure out a plan that would allow Avery to safely escape Ylore.
"Gary is always so wary. I'm sure this is not the only request he has made, right?” Edward said and narrowed his sly-looking eyes.
The cigarette trapped between Elliot's fingers trembled a little. "He told me to get Ruby pregnant within the year."
