NovelOnlineJed's girlfriend arrived at the hospital about an hour later and was stunned to see Avery.
"Did Jed do the surgery for you? Where is he?" The bodyguard immediately held her and wanted to bring her out to speak.
However, she pushed the bodyguard away abruptly and insisted on confronting Avery.
"He sent me a message at four yesterday morning, saying that he wouldn't be able to operate on me." Avery was afraid that the woman would not believe her, so she turned on her phone and showed the text message.
Jed's girlfriend took Avery’s mobile phone, read the text message, and felt her scalp turn numb. "Nonsense! He didn't contact me at all, and he never told me he was going back to the country!" "You mean to say he didn't return to the country to find you?" Avery had a bamboozled look.

"Why would | come all the way here to ask about him if he did?! It's been at least half a month since | last saw him!" She returned Avery's mobile phone. "I need an explanation!" Avery felt like her head was about to explode.
The bodyguard immediately reassured Avery, "Don't move too much, Miss Tate. Just lie on the bed. I'll explain it to her!" As he said that, he held Jed's girlfriend and wanted to bring her out again.
"What do you have to say? Explain it right here and now!" Avery agreed. "What is there for you to explain? Do you know where Jed is?" The bodyguard stammered. "I... Yes." "Where is he?! Tell me!" Avery was getting just as riled up and was about to get up from the hospital bed.
The bodyguard immediately held her down and said, "Jed...is dead. Don't let your emotions get the better of you.
I've already told Elliot, and he said he’d find out the truth. | found out last night when | went to his hotel room..." Wails and shrieks were heard in an instant! Jed's girlfriend collapsed and howled as soon as she heard the news of Jed’s death.
After the bodyguard pressed Avery down, he immediately went to comfort the grieving girlfriend. "Don't cry... Or cry outside, at least. My boss just finished her operation ?h.?TNP> the doctor says that she needs to rest," the bodyguard said as he led Jed's girlfriend out.
Avery's tears were welling up as she lay on the hospital bed.
Jed’s murder must have been done by the Goulds because there was no one else who would want to hurt him.
The Goulds most likely killed him because they did not want him to operate on her.
Did they think that doing so would let her illness fester? Why did they not come for her directly? Jed was just an ordinary doctor and there was no reason for them to kill him.

Avery's head hurt badly and even her heart was in severe pain.
She felt as if someone had strangled and suffocated her.
When Elliot returned home, the nanny immediately went upstairs and called Ruby down.
Ruby went downstairs and greeted him with a tender, loving smile.
"Is Avery okay, Elliot?" She knew that he did not go home the previous night because he was accompanying Avery at the hospital.
Ruby was uncomfortable when she thought about it, but she felt better when she realized that Avery was going to leave soon.
