NovelEnglish"Mr. Foster, you are finally awake! | will go get the doctor." Natalie had stayed awake the whole night watching over Elliot.
The doctor had told her that Elliot had lost consciousness because of his stomach condition. Though it was not critical, he was to pay closer attention to certain details in everyday life.

"Mr. Foster, your stomach acted up, and you passed out in your hotel room," Natalie explained.
The memories slowly cback to him. He had drunk half a bottle of ice water, which agitated his stomach. He had thought that the pain would pass in time, but he had passed out in the end.
"Who called you?" Elliot asked warily.
"Chad called you and you didn't pick up, so he calledinstead and askedto look for you," said Natalie, continuing her explanation. "He toldwhere you stay. The hotel manager didn't want to open the door to your room without your permission, but you wouldn't cto the phone, and | was worried that something might have happened to you, so | forced the manager to open the door." "Thank you," he said before closing his eyes.
"I'll get the doctor," she said and left the room.

Patients with your condition would often need to be on lifelong medication. Did you not take your medication yesterday?" the doctor asked. " You have to make sure that you take your medicine and meals on time, making sure to separate your meals into smaller portions and eat multiple meals throughout the day. This is the only way you can recover." Elliot listened to the doctor with a calm expression. "Just givethe medicine." "You will stay in the hospital for now. Your medication will be prescribed to you when you are discharged." "I need to stay?" He scowled.
"Mr. Foster, you will need to be monitored for at least a week. You have acute gastritis, chronic gastric ulcer, =c!?RKV> duodenal ulcer—" "That's enough." Elliot did not want to hear more of it.
Natalie stood to the side and noticed his annoyance. "Mr. Foster, listen to the doctor! You passed out last night..." She consoled him.
"I'm awake now. | feel great." Elliot simply wanted to be discharged.
"That's because you've been on an IV drip the whole night. This lady here has taken care of you this entire time." Elliot did not argue further. He had cto Bridgedale alone, and if he forced his way out of the hospital, it would raise more trouble if his condition worsened.
Avery felt much more energized ever since she had spoken to Layla.
During breakfast, Mike noticed the smile on her lips and teased, "Layla isn’t upset with you?" "No. My daughter is sweet and understanding." Avery felt touched. "lI am the one who is lacking as a mother." "This has nothing to do with you. If Elliot hadn't forced Layla and Robert to stay with him, using his power in Aryadelle, you would have never given them up." Mike consoled her. "By the way, Eric calledyesterday and said that he is coming over here for a business trip." "That's nice! But why is he calling you?" "Haha, that's because he doesn't know you've started using your phone again. He only calledso that | could tell you about it." Mike picked up his glass of milk. "He mentioned something about working with Lilith, but | don't know the details. You can ask him when he's here." "He is working with Lilith?" Avery was taken by surprise as they belonged to different fields, and she had not expected them to work together.
