Avery did not give Elliot any time to react. She immediately asked, [Why are you looking for me? I'm in room V03. If you want to see me, just come over.] Of course, she had guessed that him looking for her was just an excuse.
She calculated the time. Gary should be done with his checkup and sent to the inpatient unit for treatment.
Gary's trusted aide was clearly not to be messed with. Although he was not Gary's son, he did not hold a low rank. If not, he would not have dared wield his power before Elliot.
Elliot replied to her after a while. [Someone told me that you were in the neurosurgery department, and | wanted to know why you lied to me.] Avery teased, [If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have cared why I lied.] Elliot did not reply because she was too direct.
Up till that point, he had not remembered anything of their lives. All he knew, he had heard from others, but even then, she still affected his judgment.
He could analyze logically and be objective with anyone but her. Every time he saw her, his brain would turn into mush.

It was a curse, and he was destined to fall in love with her again, step by step.
At eleven that night, Avery got Jed and her bodyguard to head back to the hotel to get some rest.
"I haven't done the surgery yet! | could have returned to the hotel to rest today, too, " Avery said with a lazy smile, lying in bed.
Ever since her meeting with Elliot, she smiled more.
The bodyguard said to Jed, "Dr.
Hutchinson, why don't you head back to the hotel! I'll stay back to look after Miss Tate!" "Okay, I'll take my leave." "Go with Jed!" Avery said to her bodyguard. "I'm safe here." "Who told you that you're safe here? Elliot?" The bodyguard paused for a while before saying, "Or have you secretly planned a date with Elliot? If that's the case, I'm leaving." Avery thought that what he said was absurd, and he was getting rudder.
"Then, don’t go. Stay here and see if Elliot comes in the middle of the night." "Okay! | never intended to leave," the bodyguard said =g+ Then, he left with Jed.
After the bodyguard left, Avery immediately got out of the bed and went to the washroom to wash up.
When they were there, she could not bring herself to take a shower. Although she was in the VIP ward, the room was still relatively small, and there was not much privacy.
Paul and Elliot were in the neurology department, upstairs.
Paul was trying to persuade Elliot to leave while Elliot was trying to get Paul to leave.
"Tomorrow morning Ruby will be coming over. Why don't you fetch her here? Then, I'll head back to rest," Elliot said.

When Paul heard him mention Ruby, he was instantly distracted.
If Elliot had not come to Ylore, Ruby would have been Paul's wife, and she would have also graduated university.
This was one of the reasons why Paul disliked Elliot.
Gary had also allowed Paul to subdue him, which was why Paul was not afraid of Elliot at all.
After Paul left, Elliot looked at the time. It was almost midnight.
"You all wait here. I'll go look for the doctor, " said Elliot to the bodyguards before he headed to the doctor's office.
The VIP ward was on the south end of the building. He would pass by the ordinary wards and the doctor's office on the way there.
