NovelEnglishAvery felt moved by his words.
He had spent the past few days in silence, and she had thought that he would never open up to her ever again. She had not
expected that he was worried about putting her in danger.
"I've talked to Angela and she said she's only interested in the award and promised that she won't cafter us, so don't worry.
No one has clooking for trouble since you cback." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Elliot, we don't have to worry
about things that haven't happened yet..."
"Angela will marry Dean Jennings," he said.
"I know. Are you worried that Dean will cafter us?" Avery looked up. "They will be getting married in half a month so at least
for another two weeks, Dean will have no tto deal with us."
The two chatted quietly as the nanny poured two bowls of soup and brought them to the dining room.
Avery immediately took Elliot's hand and led him into the dining room.

They miss you."
Elliot picked up the spoon and took a sip of his soup wordlessly.
"If you don't know how to face them just yet, we don't have to video-call them now," she said. "We can contact them whenever you
are ready."
"When will you go back?" he asked.
"I'm waiting for you to readjust." Avery leisurely sipped on her soup. "If you go back, you will need to face Layla, Robert, Shea, and
a lot of your friends. There's no need to hurry. We can wait. "
She was right that he had not readjusted himself.
Elliot finished his soup and set the spoon down.
"Do you want another serving?" Avery asked.
He shook his head and took a piece of tissue paper to wipe his mouth.
"Elliot, apart from worrying that someone would use you to blackmail me, what else are you afraid of? | really want to know what
you are thinking." She set her bowl down and propped her chin on her hands." | feel really calm now because I'm satisfied as long
as I'm with you. | couldn't find you anywhere in the past two months so | kept your shirt from that basement withall the time. If
you dare to leaveor die simply because you are afraid of becoming a burden, | will never forgive you."
She did not mean to threaten him, but what Elliot had said earlier unsettled her.
"I can promise you that, but in return, you will also need to promisethat if someone tries to blackmail you, you will tellright
away," he said. "If you can't do that, | won't have to listen to you."
Seeing how determined he was, Avery nodded reluctantly.
"Elliot, it's been so long since | saw you smile. Can you smile for me?" She requested, hoping to ease the tension.
"Ask for something else." He could not bring himself to smile.
"Can you lettake you to the hospital for a full body check, then?" she said. "Your mental state aside, | feel like you are
physically in good shape, so | really want to take you to the hospital to learn more."

"You said 'if, which means you aren't that inclined to say no." She knew every detail about him, down to the look in his eyes and his
tone. "Elliot, | told you this already: don't worry. No matter what you become, you will always be the man | love most. | won't see
you as a freak or a monster. | am going to marry you again when we go home."
"No," he said coldly without hesitation. "I might die at any moment now. | don't even have the courage to see the kids, let alone
give you any promises.”
