NovelEnglishIn the hospital, outside of the ER, Elliot saw the incoming call from Avery and walked to the lift lobby.
Only after seeing that Paul wasn't following him, Elliot picked up the call.
Shea's face instantly appeared on Elliot's phone screen.
"Elliot!" exclaimed Shea when she saw her brother's face.
Elliot saw her familiar face and how gaunt she looked.
"Elliot! It's Shea! Do you remember me? Why aren’t you talking? | miss you... Even though we are not related by blood, you will always be my brother," blurted Shea.
After a slight pause, which felt like an eternity to Shea, Elliot finally said, "How could | forget you? Shea, you lost some weight." Tears flowed down Shea's cheeks, "Elliot! When are you coming back? | miss you!" "Go back to Aryadelle with Avery first. Mrs. Scarlet will take good care of you. | still have some unfinished business here. After I've done everything that needs to be done, I'll go find you," replied Elliot.
"... I'll wait for you," promised Shea.

"Is Avery by your side?" asked Elliot.
"Yup. Elliot's asking for you," said Shea as she passed the phone to Avery.
Avery took the phone and the moment she saw Elliot's face, she could feel her heart start to race.
It had been only a week since they last saw each other, but it felt like a long time.
"Are you at the hospital?" asked Avery as she saw a nurse pass Elliot.
"Yup, Gary was attacked, he is in the ER," replied Elliot nonchalantly.
"Attacked? By whom? How is he? Is he going to die?" asked Avery.
"He'll probably survive. Jed's girlfriend did it. What she did is quite moving, what she has done here today was suicide, if | didn't stop Paul, she would be six feet under by now, " said Elliot.
Avery knew that Elliot was trying to warn her.
"Where is she now? Is she safe?" asked Avery.
"She's with Nick," replied Elliot.
"We have to repay Nick after all he has done for us," said Avery.
"You're right. When are you going to Aryadelle?" asked Elliot as he stole a glance at Paul, who had been standing guard outside of the ER. The whole time Paul was staring straight at Elliot.
"I'm going back tomorrow. Elliot, can you return to Aryadelle before Robert's first birthday?" asked Avery.
"I'll try my best," said Elliot.
After Elliot hung up, he walked toward Paul.

Paul saw Elliot walking toward him asked?" "Yes," replied Elliot.
"Why can't you be loyal to Ruby?" questioned Paul.
"If I was loyal to Ruby, do you really think that you would get the chance to be with Ruby? Do you know why Gary chose me and not you? Because you are stupid. If you have at least one brain cell, you should know that I'm not your enemy," said Elliot.
"You are still an outsider!" exclaimed Paul.
"It won't be long before everything is mine, Ruby, the Gould family!" said Elliot.
Paul's hands curled into a fist.
Before anything else could happen, the doors to the ER swung open.
Paul immediately stopped the nurse and asked, "What is going on in there?" "Mr. Gould has lost too much blood. He needs an urgent blood transfusion!" said the nurse as she ran past them.
