NovelOnlineJed strode out of the ward afterward.
Right as he stepped out, he saw Elliot standing not far away from him.
Elliot was leaning against the window smoking a cigarette.
To Jed's surprise, Elliot had already returned to the hospital.
Yet, he did not step into Ruby's ward all this while.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJed then walked up to Elliot and saw a lot of cigarette butts in the trash can in front of Elliot.
"Is Avery safe now?" asked Jed.
"Yeah. | saw you fell asleep, so | didn't wake you up." Elliot threw the cigarette he was holding into the trash can, "Off you go." "I was about to. By the way, she already woke up. You should check on her." Elliot pursed his lips and strode back to Ruby's ward while Jed headed to the lift.
For some unknown reason, Elliot was terrifying in Jed's eyes.
Although Elliot looked calm on the outside, Jed could sense that a storm was coming when he looked into Elliot's eyes.
To Jed, Elliot was like a dormant beast that would wake up at any time! Time flew, and the sun was now up in the sky.
Avery stood in front of the door to Jed's room. She then pressed the doorbell.
When Jed saw Avery outside of his room, he immediately invited her to go in.
"Jed, where did you get your swollen eyes from? Remember to see the doctor." Avery was shocked by the wound on Jed's face.
"I've already taken an anti-inflammatory pill." Jed did not care about his wounds," Oh, right, | have your phone, but it's run out of battery. My charger won't work on your phone." He then handed over her phone to her.
"When did you come back last night?" asked Jed.
"I was earlier than you, so | didn't come to you. And you?" Avery replied as she took back her phone.

"Thank you for what you did last night, Jed. " Avery was quite energetic this morning, although she did not sleep well last night.
Perhaps it was the kidnapping last night that was tensing her nerves for the whole night.
"I was planning on making you treat me to a good meal, but now it seems like it takes two good meals for you to return the favor." Jed put down the water bottle :e+?RIQ; asked, "Have you had breakfast? Let's have it together!" "Sure! I'll get you a new pair of glasses afterward!" "Okay. Oh, right. Someone had phoned you before your phone shut down automatically. | didn't get to see who was the caller," Jed told Avery as he worried that it might be an important call, "You might want to charge your phone. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll grab it for you.
"Okay. One sandwich and a glass of milk, please!" “Alright!” After she had gone back to her room, she charged her phone and tried to start it.
Then, notifications about missed calls from Mrs. Cooper and Ben showed up immediately.
She took a moment to think and eventually decided to call Ben first. It was because she knew Ben would not simply phone her if it was not a serious matter.
Ben immediately pick up the call from Avery, "Avery! I've been trying to reach you! "My phone was out of battery last night,” she said casually, "What's the matter?" "Lilith miscarried. It was a woman that | know who did it to her. That accident had a huge impact on Lilith. She's moved to live with you now.” Jed briefly explained the whole thing in guilt, "I want to give her some money, but she is not picking up my calls now." "Since she's lost the child, you should forget about her!" Avery frowned, "You don't need to do that. I'll take good care of her." "Are you blaming me?" "Don't get me wrong. My own life is already a mess. | don't have the right to blame others," she said calmly.
Ben pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Elliot still can't remember you?"
