NovelEnglish"Oh... So you married Ruby for the Goulds" assets." "It wasn't as if Gary got them legitimately." He scoffed and said, "Here, the rule of the game is to eat or be eaten." "Do you genuinely like this kind of life, Elliot?" She hated the life he had just described to her, and she wanted him to realize what a horrible life it was. "Now that Christopher is dead, everything Gary has will be yours in the future as long as you spend a good life with Ruby." "Gary doesn't share that view," he said. "He is forcing me to have a child with Ruby so that he can leave everything to that child. That child must take the Gould surname." Avery could not help but laugh. "But our children take my surname." "The situation is different. One is voluntary while the other is forced.” "Will you be able to give up your current plans for the sake of me and our children?" She thought about the matter for a while, before she said, "We can have all the money we want, but we'll never be able to spend all of it during the course of our life." "It's not easy to get off a ship once it sets sail." "I know. When | leave this place, you'll need to find a way to leave, too." She raised her head and placed a kiss on his cheek. " The children and | will wait for you, Elliot." Outside the ward, the bodyguard saw the Gould family bodyguard and immediately pushed open the ward's door and walked in.
The first thing he saw was the two of them sleeping on the hospital bed, embracing each other.
The bodyguard felt shy. "Umm... Mr. Foster, the Goulds' bodyguard is looking for you. You need to hurry and leave, or else they might barge in here and tell Gary what they saw." Elliot got out of bed at once.

After he went out, the bodyguard immediately closed the door to the ward.
"You really are amazing. Miss Tate!" The bodyguard walked to the side of the bed and sat down. He looked at Avery's reddened face and said in awe, "It didn’t take long for you to seduce him into bed." Avery was speechless.
"The two of you are a legitimately married couple, but here you are, meeting each other in secret." The bodyguard then said," This kind of sneaky rendezvous must be really exciting, isn't it?" "It is. It's very exciting." "It would've been even more exciting if you were caught in the act by the Goulds' bodyguard." "And | have you to thank for helping me avoid that." "No thanks needed. It's my job," said the bodyguard. "I was the one who told him to come to you. | saw him smoking a cigarette on the balcony nearby. He was afraid to come to you, so | used some aggressive tactics to scare him." "What kind of tactics?" "I told him that you might not survive the operation, 7c.?UJR; | also said that you had written a goodbye letter." Avery was stunned.
"Jed told me that there is always the risk of death in every operation. I'm not technically lying to him, am 1?" "When did | write that goodbye letter?" she asked. "That's an obvious lie." "| just wanted to scare him a little. See how he reacts! | didn't think he would go to you before | could finish my sentence! He even crammed himself onto that tiny bed so that he could be with you... Ugh, my heart aches.
"Let your heart ache elsewhere! I'm going to sleep." Avery lay down and pulled the blanket over her. "Turn off the lights please.
The bodyguard turned off the lights.
After the room was plunged into darkness, she could not keep herself from smiling.

Although Elliot did not remember her, she knew that he had fallen in love with her again.
Whether it was because of their three children or for some other reason altogether, she began to feel hope.
The next morning, Ruby pushed open the door to Avery's ward and entered the room. She had brought breakfast with her. It was in an insulated box.
Avery frowned in puzzlement when she saw Ruby come in.
