NovelOnlineAvery knew that Elliot only said that to calm her down, but nothing anyone did could soothe her emotions! She was heartbroken, and the more uncomfortable she was, the more painful the wound on her head became.
"Stop thinking about that, Avery!" Elliot held her hand tightly and emphasized, "I don’t care if the sky is about to fall. Just don't worry about it! We'll talk about everything once you're discharged from the hospital!" She tried to take a deep breath and calm her trembling body.
It took her a few minutes before her mood calmed down.
"Close your eyes," Elliot urged in a low voice. "You'll recover quicker if you rest well." She did not heed his advice to close her eyes because she did not want to.

Jed's face would appear in her mind whenever she closed them.
She never suspected anything when she saw Jed's message, and it was truly horrifying to know that Gary was so cruel! She could not let herself act as if nothing had happened, and she had to stay awake even if she could temporarily suppress her anger.
"Please leave. | want to be alone." She pulled her hand away from the clutches of his big palm. "I'll rest and recuperate, and | won't get out of bed. | just want to be alone." "Okay.” He got up and looked at her pale, icy face. "I'll be outside. Just call me if you need me." "You don't need to wait outside," she refused, after which she said, "Go back and rest! The bodyguard will take care of me. I'll be fine, and | can get out of bed tomorrow." "Why won't you let me accompany you?" He started to wonder if she had shifted her hatred of Gary to him.
"I just want to be alone. | don't want to hear any advice, and | don't want to hear anything! All | want is to get well in peace!” Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall at any moment. She felt choked and said, "I'm begging you. Please, just go!" He strode out of the ward.
When the bodyguard saw him come out, he immediately asked, "Why are you out here? How is she?" "She doesn't want to be disturbed." "But she's still recuperating. She needs someone to keep her company." The bodyguard scratched his head.
"Should I go in?" "She's crying right now, so you can wait a little longer before going in," Elliot said with a gloomy expression.
"Don't persuade her after you go in, though. She doesn't want to be persuaded." "Oh... Did she lash out at you?" The bodyguard saw that Elliot's expression was not too good, so he comforted the man =a$; RMU, said, "Miss Tate called Jed over, and now that he's dead, she must've felt that she caused his death. I'd feel the same too if | were in her shoes. She might say some harsh things, but don't take any of it to heart." "I know." Elliot was not angry with her. He was simply worried. "I'll be going then.
Give me a ring if you need anything." Jed died from a highly toxic poison that caused instant death with just a tiny amount.
