NovelEnglish"Did you enter the wrong ward?" Avery asked.
It was seven in the morning, and she had just woken up.
"Nope. | came here specifically to see you." Ruby placed the container on the bedside table. "I heard that you were also in this hospital, so | asked my nanny to prepare some breakfast for you, too." "Why would you do that?" "Because you're the woman Elliot likes. | did this because | wanted to show you that I'm not jealous of you. | don't mind that he still wants this relationship with you. You and | can coexist in peace as long as he doesn't abandon me and continues to recognize me as his wife," said Ruby generously.
Avery studied the expression on Ruby's face and realized that she was not acting.
"I'm can't say the same for myself, though. I've known Elliot for almost ten years, and my relationship with him goes far deeper than mere love. Besides, | can't accept the existence of a third person in my relationship." Avery made her stance clear.

Ruby frowned slightly. "But he promised my father that he'd stay here forever." "| know that. He once promised me that he'd love me forever too." Avery returned the container that had been placed on the bedside table. "My bodyguard will buy me breakfast. You should go visit your father! "| didn't lace the food with poison. You can give it to your bodyguard if you don't want to eat it!" Ruby refused to take it back. "I'll go and see my dad now," she said and left.
The bodyguard came out of the bathroom. He saw the breakfast that Ruby had brought and immediately opened the container.
There was some chicken soup, egg custard, pastries, and porridge.
"It's a feast. And it smells good too. Are you sure you're not going to eat it?" The bodyguard placed the food in front of Avery and showed it to her.
"Will you eat something that your rival made for you?" Avery was a little hungry, but she insisted that she did not want to eat what Ruby had brought her.
"I'll eat it, then. And once I'm done, I'll buy breakfast for you." Avery lifted the blanket, got out of bed, =e*; PLX> went to the bathroom to freshen up.
When she came out, Jed had arrived, and coincidentally, he had brought breakfast with him.
"You bought breakfast already?" Jed placed the food he had brought on the table.
"Ruby brought it for Miss Tate, but Miss Tate doesn't want it, so I'm eating it." The bodyguard then said, "Ruby's quite the gem. She said that she was willing to be the lesser woman so that my boss could be the bigger woman." "Lesser? And bigger?" Jed did not understand what the bodyguard was saying.
"As in the main wife and the side chick!" The bodyguard sipped some soup and let out a satisfied groan. "Ruby might be able to accept that humiliation, but Miss Tate can't.” Jed found it hilarious. "What an eye-opener! "Say, why would someone as dignified and delicate as the Gould family's eldest daughter cling to Elliot like there's no tomorrow?" Jed said, "Isn't your boss in the same boat? It just goes to show that Elliot is one hell of a man." "Can you two please stop discussing my private affairs in front of me?" snapped Avery as she ate her breakfast. "Or at least continue after | finish breakfast." "Let's talk about something that'll make you happy, then!" The bodyguard smirked at her. "You and Elliot were cuddling last night. You agreed to go back to Aryadelle together, didn't you?" Avery was about to answer his question when she heard a knock on the door of her ward.

The door was half-open, so everyone looked at the door once they heard that knock. They saw Elliot and Aaron, his bodyguard, standing by the door.
Aaron was the one who had knocked on the door.
"Our young miss said she had brought Miss Tate breakfast, so Mr. Foster wanted to see her," said Aaron.
Avery immediately glanced at the bodyguard, telling him to return the insulated box.
"Breakfast was rather good! But please don't bother sending her any more food in the future. Miss Tate will never agree to Miss Gould's request." The bodyguard stuffed the insulation box in Aaron's hand.
"What request?" The ever-alert Elliot asked.
