Nick looked away from Elliot and scowled as he asked, "Did the doctor say when he is going to wake up?" "No." Ruby seemed reluctant to talk about Elliot's condition.
"He must be severely injured, then, if the doctors can't predict when he will regain consciousness." Ruby did not respond to the question and said, "The doctors said his life is not at risk.
"Have you considered taking him to another country for better treatment?" "Of course, | have! The doctors told me he is not fit for travel." "Oh... What about bringing better doctors in?" "The doctors said that his condition is not as severe as to require me to fly in medical experts," snapped Ruby, beginning to lose her patience. "I thought that you have something to tell me? If that's just an excuse to see Elliot, you have seen him, so— Suddenly, they heard a loud scuffle, coming from outside the room.

"Elliot!" Avery shouted at the top of her lungs.
Ruby heard her voice and instantly felt chills running down her spine.
"Am | hallucinating? Why am | hearing Avery's voice?" she thought.
She rushed out and saw Avery, who was being restrained by the bodyguards.
"Avery Tate! Why are you here?" Ruby roared.
She had thought that she would never see Avery again, but to her surprise, Avery had come to Ylore once again.
Nick was not all that surprised to see Avery inside the hospital. He did not want to help her, but he did not have the heart not to speak for her.

"Ruby, have you forgotten that Avery is a rather skilled doctor? She heard that Elliot was sick and came here to check on him," he said to Ruby. "Let her have a look at Elliot! Elliot is unconscious, anyway. It's not like he can see her and go with her..." "You are the one who brought her here, aren't you?" Ruby looked at him. "You lied to me about wanting to talk to me. You were trying to find a way to get her in! You have let me down!" "Ruby Gould! Why are you afraid of me if you are pregnant with Elliot's child?!" Avery said hysterically as she shoved the bodyguards away. "I just want to take a look at Elliot. Isn't it a good thing if | can help with his recovery? You say that you love him, so you shouldn't stop me from seeing him!" "C'mon, Ruby," Nick said, "she said that you are pregnant with Elliot's baby. If that's the truth, he will definitely take responsibility : care for you and your child." Ruby was at a crossroad and by the time she came to, Avery had already walked past her into the room.
Nick followed her inside and the two stood before the bed, looking at Elliot. He was pale and wrapped in bandages. There was no part of him that had been left untouched.
One could hardly imagine the torture he had gone through.
Nick noticed the tears gathering in Avery's slowly reddening eyes. He took out a packet of tissues and handed them to her. Suddenly, she spun around and strode up to Ruby.
Slap! She had slapped Ruby across the face in Ruby's territory.
