"She told my boss that she was willing to allow my boss to continue her relationship with you, but my boss wouldn't agree to it," said the bodyguard.
Elliot's expression froze. "I'll warn her not to disturb you again." He was saying that to Avery.
"Okay. You should go back and rest!" Avery could see that he was not feeling very well, and it was probably because he had not slept much the previous night.
Elliot nodded. "Let me know when you are planning to have your surgery." "Okay." After Elliot and Aaron left, Avery ate a few bites of food and set her utensils down. "Why aren't you eating?" The bodyguard saw that she had not eaten much porridge.

"I don't have an appetite." She touched her stomach. "Maybe I'm a little nervous because I'm about to go under the knife." "It's fine." Jed gave her some milk. "You'll be better once the operation is over." "Okay. What other tests are going to be done today?" She took a sip of milk.
Jed explained the different tests that he would have to run on her.
She frowned slightly as she heard him go through the tests he wanted to run on her." Is it really necessary to do another imaging?" "The thrombosis has spread, and the tumor has grown," Jed said. "Better to be on the safe side and do it again." "Fine! The area where the anesthetic was administered last time still hurts slightly!" "In that case, once today's examination is over, you can rest for another two days before the surgery." "I'd much rather have it done as soon as possible! The longer this drags on, the more anxious I'll feel." She put down the cup of milk, feeling somewhat uneasy." Maybe | should write that goodbye letter?" Jed was speechless.
The bodyguard burst out laughing." Hahahaha! Do you know why she's like this, Jed? | lied to Elliot last night! | told him that she had written a goodbye letter because the surgery had a high failure rate! "Are you making fun of my medical skills?" "I just wanted to see if Elliot cares about my boss." "But you scared both Elliot =f":YNR: Avery." His cell phone rang moments after he ended his sentence.
After looking at the caller ID, he said to Avery and the bodyguard, "I'll have to take this call." He walked outside and answered it.
"Dr. Hutchinson, I'm already at the hospital. " Ruby was the caller.
"Oh, your dad is sick, so you should take care of him first!" Jed whispered. "I'll extract the embryo out of her today. It doesn't have to be transplanted in to your body right away." "You don't need to worry about my dad. There are people taking care of him." Ruby felt a little nervous and apprehensive. "Just do the transplant today, Dr. Hutchinson. I'm worried that something might ruin the plan if it isn't carried out soon." Jed's heart began beating violently.
He hesitated and started to panic.

He asked himself if he genuinely wanted to do it, whether he should do it, and whether he could accept the consequences of doing so.
His phone rang again, and he glanced at it to see that it was a call from his girlfriend.
He muted Ruby and answered his girlfriend's call.
"Where have you been these past few days, Jed? You haven't come back, and you even told me not to look for you. What do you take me for?" huffed his girlfriend angrily." I'll give you three more days. If you don't return to the country by then, you and | are done!" The call ended with a beeping.
Jed took a deep breath and switched back to Ruby's call. "Miss Gould, will you promise to treat the child well if | hand it to you?"
