NovelEnglishAvery was not asking but giving an order.
She hung up the video call shortly after that.
Elliot put the phone down, walked into the shower, and turned on the shower tap.
Then, warm water slid along his hair and down his body.
He was disturbed because she said she was coming to rescue him, just like how Jed's girlfriend wanted to take revenge for Jed.
She did not hesitate even though she knew her effort might kill her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliot knew that if Jed had been alive, Jed would not have let his girlfriend risk her life to avenge his death.
Elliot still remembered how Jed’s girlfriend looked at him when he watched her get trampled on the ground by the bodyguard after she had attempted to assassinate Gary.
Her eyes were very bright. Yet, there was no anger but only relief.
Elliot decided to save her at that instance because the stubbornness in her eyes reminded him of Avery.
He thought if he died in Ylore, Avery might be like Jed's girlfriend, seeking revenge on Gary for his death.
However, he did not want Avery to save him! Whether he needed rescuing or not, he did not need her to be there for him.
After showering, he cout of the bathroom and saw Ruby standing next to his bed.
"Elliot, my father will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so let's pick him up tomorrow!" Ruby told her plan to Elliot, "I'll plead with my father to forgive you. Just remember to say nothing then." Elliot walked to her side, picked up the sobering drink, and took a sip.
The drink was a bit sour, but it was very refreshing.
He finished the drink, and she immediately took the empty glass.
"It's very late already. You should go to bed! We'll talk about it tomorrow," said Elliot to Ruby as he saw her uneased face. His eyes then slid from her face till they landed on her stomach.
She followed his gaze, glanced at her belly, and said with a smile, "Our baby is still very tiny! My belly isn't that obvious yet!" "Yeah, | know," he said in a flat tone.
When Avery was pregnant with Robert, Elliot was always by her side.
He knew how hard it was for a woman to carry a child, After finishing dressing up at eight o'clock the next day, Ruby cto Elliot's room and knocked on the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe remembered telling him last night they were going to the hospital that day to get Gary home.
Although he did not explicitly agree last night, it did not seem to her that he would refuse it.
She knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. Hence, she braved up and opened the door.
However, she only saw a nicely folded blanket on the bed. She could tell the blanket was folded by the nanny.
Bizarrely, the nanny had just told her that Elliot was still sleeping and did not cdownstairs.
That implied to Ruby that the nanny did not fold the blanket in the morning, and Elliot did not sleep in his room last night.
She suddenly felt a shortness of breath! 'If he’s not in the room nor the villa, where has he been? And when did he leave?’ she thought.
She immediately went back to her room, grabbed her cell phone, and dialed Elliot.
[Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off, please try again later.] Ruby did not expect that Elliot would switch his phone off! That was the first the switched his phone off since he cto Ylore.
She suddenly felt the space around her spinning and did not know what to do.
'Did he go back to Aryadelle already?!" she thought.
