NovelEnglishElliot entered the doctor's office. He asked the doctor on duty about Gary's condition. Once he was done, he left the office and headed straight for the nearby elevator.
After walking in, he pressed the number for the floor below him.
The elevator reached his destination in no time, and he walked out.
Instead of going directly to ward V03, he went to the neurosurgeon's office.
The doctor was stunned to see Elliot.

He sat down opposite the doctor and said, ” | want to know how Avery is doing." "This... This involves the patient's privacy.
| am unable to tell you anything." The doctor looked nervous. Elliot had clearly put him in a tight spot. "You could speak to her if you know her." "She said it is a minor operation. | want to know if it's a minor operation or not." He changed his phrasing.
The doctor pushed his spectacles higher up his nose and considered Elliot's request. Finally, he said, "She doesn't trust Ylore's doctors, and a doctor from Bridgedale is performing the operation. Does it sound like a minor one or a major one to you?" Elliot frowned, immediately got up, and was about to leave for Avery's ward when the doctor said, "This is a minor operation for Miss Tate, so she wasn’t technically lying to you." Elliot sat down again, calmed himself down a bit, and said, "She got a specialist from Bridgedale?" "Yes. Initially, | was her doctor, but after she received the results of her checkup, she decided to get a specialist from Bridgedale. She was not too confident in my skills. She did mention that he was her university classmate and that he is now a specialist in a big hospital! It's an amazing achievement at such a young age!" "Jed Hutchinson?" "That's him! Not only is Dr. Hutchinson a renowned expert at such a young age, but he also has a knack for making connections! He had even invited me to a meeting with vice president Miller!" "When did she register with the hospital?" "Some time ago. Wasn't long after your surgery at our hospital!" Elliot's heart tightened all of a sudden. She had come here shortly after his surgery ?h"=TLY: had discovered that she was suffering from a very serious illness.
Yet despite all this, she still insisted on making him remember her in hopes of bringing him home. She could have just left him in Ylore and headed back to Bridgedale to seek better treatment after finding out that she was ill.
On the contrary, she had chosen to call a doctor from Bridgedale so she could get treatment here.
Elliot felt a sudden throbbing in his head.
She loved him! There was no doubt about that! It was unfortunate that he had doubted her love for so long.
Had Gary not been hospitalized after the fall, he would not have known that she was hospitalized because of her illness.
She never had any intention of telling him about it.
Half an hour later, the bodyguard came to the hospital after his shower.
As he approached ward V03, he suddenly caught glimpse of a familiar figure.

On the balcony, next to the VIP ward's corridor, stood a tall figure.
It looked like... Elliot! The bodyguard walked over, confirmed Elliot's identity, then raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder.
"Mr. Foster!" Elliot tensed, then relaxed when he registered the familiar voice. He snuffed out the cigarette he was holding and threw it into the trash can next to him before turning around.
"It really is you. Why are you here?" The bodyguard smiled. "Did you come to see my boss? Have you already seen her? She told us to leave because she wanted to meet you! Hahaha!" "I haven't," he said calmly. "When will she go in for surgery?" "The day after tomorrow, | think! Jed is supposed to conduct a detailed examination on her tomorrow, and the operation will probably proceed once that’s done." The bodyguard took out a box of cigarettes and handed Elliot a stick. "You do know what she’s suffering from, right? There's a large tumor in her brain. It's putting pressure on her cranial nerves." Elliot was speechless.
Avery and the doctor had said that it was something mild, so the bodyguard's words left him confused.
"Go see her! Jed told me that there is a thirty percent chance that this operation could fail," said the bodyguard.
"She might not even get off the operating table, and | saw her handing her goodbye letter to Jed.”
