NovelOnline"You know who Jed is, right?" Elliot looked her in the eye and asked, "How did he die?" The smile on Ruby's face froze. "He's dead? | had no idea! I've been home all this ti—" "You don't need to leave home if you wanted to kill him." "I didn't kill him! Why would | kill him when | have nothing against him?" Ruby reached out and grabbed Elliot's arm. "I do know him. | ran into him at the hospital when | sought consultation at the hospital for the test-tube baby. He begged me to help Avery get out of here, but | told him that my father was angry and that | could only help him when my father cooled down." "That's all?" Elliot pushed her hand away. "Yes! | didn't have anything to do with him other than his request for me to help Avery..." Ruby saw that Elliot did not entirely trust her, so she continued, "There was one other time when | took the initiative to invite him to our home as a guest. | heard that Avery had a man by her side, so | wanted to know what their relationship was." "He died. Poisoned to death," Elliot said. " Who else do you think would kill him other than your family? He's just a doctor. He has no connections here..." "I don't know anything, Elliot! Please believe me. | haven't been feeling well for the past two days and stayed at home all this time." Ruby said while crying. "My dad might have done it... He has been grieving over my elder brother's death. He probably didn't dare to kill Avery because he was afraid of making you angry, so he killed those around her to relieve his anger..." Elliot could not do anything about it if the responsibility was shifted to Gary.
Sure enough, Elliot's face turned cold when he heard what she said because there was nothing he could do about Back at the hospital, the bodyguard comforted Jed's girlfriend to the best of his ability, but to no avail. At the same time, he was worried that Avery could not bear the sudden news, so he called Elliot and asked the latter to come over.
Elliot reached the hospital in no time. As soon as he met Jed's girlfriend, he explained the cause of Jed's death to her.
"That's all the information | have right now, the most | can do is compensate you," he said bluntly.

"You'll only lose your own life if you try to find the murderer, and you cannot be irrational. If Jed was still alive, I'm sure he wouldn't want you to die for his sake." "I don't want compensation... I'm not going to accept any money no matter how much you give me... | just want Jed..." "I'm sorry, but he's gone. | can bring you to see his body." After Elliot took her away, the bodyguard turned around and entered the ward.
Avery was lying on the hospital bed and the nurse was comforting her.
She had just completed her operation, so she was in no position to get out of bed, much less experience such intense emotions that would affect her recovery.
"Miss Tate, Jed must have been killed by someone from the Goulds." The bodyguard stood beside the hospital bed and explained bluntly. "We have no way to get revenge on Gary. All we can do is endure it." Avery pursed her lips and suppressed her inner grief.
"Let's leave as soon as you're discharged. Let Elliot handle the rest," the bodyguard continued.
That was what Avery's original plan was. After all, she could prevent Gary from using her to blackmail Elliot if she left the hospital and went out of the country.
However, she had since changed her mind.
After Gary killed Jed, there was no way for her to just leave without doing anything.
She wanted to avenge Jed.

She was the one who asked him to come to Ylore. Had she not done so, Jed would never have died! She owed Jed a life, and she would do whatever it took to avenge him! That afternoon, Elliot finally managed to comfort Jed’s girlfriend and sent someone with her to deal with Jed's body.
After the body was cremated, she would take Jed's ashes and return home.
Elliot went back to the ward and saw Avery lying quietly on the hospital bed.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she had an icy expression on her face.
"Jed won't die in vain," he said calmly while sitting beside the hospital bed.
"He already did," she protested. "Killing Gary won't bring him back to life, and he wouldn't have died if he never met me in the first place." "Blaming yourself won't bring him back to life either," Elliot said emphatically. "I know you want revenge, and you're willing to get it even if it means dying here. But have you ever wondered who will suffer the most if you die?!"
