"| left my phone to charge in the ward." Avery had been discussing the surgery with the doctor and only returned to the ward at that moment.
"Today's your surgery day, right?" "Yes." Avery was stunned for a moment and immediately explained things to him." Jed had to leave because of something urgent, so | told the in-house doctors to proceed with the operation." Wesley was taken aback. "What happened? Why did he leave in such a hurry? He could have returned after the operation, right? When did he leave?" "He sent me a message at four o'clock this morning, so I'm guessing he left at that time." Avery's mood had calmed down by then.
"Why didn't he do the operation before leaving?” Wesley was puzzled. "Does he need to leave today?" "He might have a bigger emergency, and besides, this isn’t a serious operation..." "How is it not a serious operation when your brain is being operated on? This behavior from Jed is ridiculous! He shouldn't have agreed to do the operation if he didn't plan on fulfilling his promise. How could he have the decency to just leave on the day of the operation itself?" Wesley sounded incredibly displeased. "I'll call him later!" "No, it's fine. He must have had his troubles, " Avery said immediately. "I'll call him and ask once the operation is over." "Are the doctors there capable?" "I think they can handle it. Gary frequents this hospital whenever he's sick." Avery then changed the subject, "How are Shea and Adrian?" "They're fine." Wesley was staying with them while waiting for Elliot and Avery to return. "Shea's feeling much better, and Adrian takes really good care of her." "I can't tell you how much | miss you." "You should focus on getting through your surgery safe ;d+ sound. The most important thing right now is for you to recover from your illness." "Okay." "I won't bother you anymore for now. Send me your bodyguard's number and I'll contact him at night." "Sure." After ending the call, Avery sent the bodyguard's number to Wesley.
With an hour left until noon, Elliot returned to the villa.
Flowers were scattered across the living room floor. Ruby sat beside them as she put them into a vase.
When she saw Elliot's return, she immediately put down the scissors and flowers she was holding.
"Elliot! Is my dad home?" "Yes. He's home. How are you?" Elliot sat down on the sofa and glanced at her flower arrangement.

"I'm feeling a little better today." Ruby sat down beside him. "I heard that Avery's having her operation today. You can see her if you want after the operation is over! It's a pity that she doesn't want to see me, or else | would've liked to go with you to visit her."
Elliot looked at Ruby's sincere expression and said solemnly, "Don't go looking for her again in the future."
"Okay. | didn't expect her to hate me that much." "Since you're feeling better today, you can check up on your dad a little later.” "Okay. I'll go once | put these flowers in the vase," Ruby said. "Are you hungry, Elliot? Would you like something to eat? The nanny made some soup..." "I'm not hungry. I'll be leaving then since you're all fine." A disappointed look appeared in her eyes as soon as he said that, so he explained immediately, "Your dad tasked me with some work. | need to deal with it." "Okay, you should go ahead! I'm just worried that it'll put a strain on your health.
Ruby saw Elliot out and returned to the living room after he left.
