NovelOnlineAvery had her back toward him, and she did not respond to his comments.
She was being honest when she said that her head hurt so much that she could die. It was also true that she missed Elliot so much that she felt like taking her own life.
Since she was a child, she had always prepared herself and lifted herself up whenever she encountered difficulties, but this time, she was exhausted. Even when there were three children she needed to look after, she could not help the grief she felt.

"Did you say your head hurt? | asked the nurse for spainkillers.” Mike handed her the medicine. "Do you need to take one? "| feel better now," she said, "Just put it on the table. | will take them when my head starts to hurt again.” "Stop playing with your phone. The inteis filled with news about Elliot so it's quite disgusting to look at. Don't make it harder on yourself," he said as he stood by the bed.
"I'm not checking the news, I'm replying to my friends’ messages.” She showed him the screen of her phone. "| am getting messages from a lot of people. | have to reply to them at spoint.” "There are still a lot of people who care for you. The earth wouldn't stop spinning over the loss of anyone." "Yeah. The sun still rises without Elliot, and the world would carry on just the swithout me," she said. She sounded serious but there was an undercurrent that suggested there was a joke she was telling that only she understood.
Mike felt chills down his spine and understood that it was Avery's way of saying that she wanted to die alongside Elliot since the world would carry on without her.
"Avery Tate!" he roared.
"Have you showered?" she asked casually," You smell like sweat. Can you just go take a shower even if you don't have clothes to change into? If | have to stay in the sroom with you like this, | am going to get a headache from the smell alone.” Mike gritted his teeth went into the washroom.
Avery finished replying to all the messages and set her phone down, before taking the painkillers on the table and swallowing them.
If there was no running from it, she should take her medicine and get ssleep.

"Jun, Avery said she is fine. What does that mean?" Tammy was not convinced that Avery was fine.
"She probably said that so that you won't worry about her," Jun said, "I can't reach Ben right now, but things in Ylore are probably pretty bad.
"She said she is going to sleep. | want to call her, though! Whatever, | will call her tomorrow." Worried, Tammy said, "I wouldn't have been this concerned if she broke down, but now she's saying that she’s fine..." "| get what you are saying, Tammy. But if she said that she is going to bed, it means that she doesn't want to be disturbed right now. Call her tomorrow!" "Yeah." The next morning the doctor pushed open the door to Avery's ward to find Mike sleeping.
He walked to Mike and shook him awake.
"Where's Avery Tate?" the doctor asked while staring at the empty bed.
Mike had fallen asleep sprawled across the bed. When he heard the doctor, he turned to look at the empty bed and was utterly stunned.
"The results for her blood test from yesterday cback and there are a couple of abnormalities. We need to perform further tests," the doctor said, "You need to find her and bring her back right now."
