The doctor leaned toward her and whispered, "Things in the Gould family have changed, so you should be careful." "| can't just ignore the fact that Elliot is hurt." Avery stood up and said, "Thank you for tellingthis. 1 will visit you again." "Can't you just leave it alone? You just have to get yourself into trouble." The doctor sighed again. "I've never seen anyone as fearless as you are." "Relax. | won't die." With that, she went to look for vice president Miller, but unfortunately, he was not on duty today.
She did not feel like sleeping so she did not want to return to the hotel. Instead, she called Nick and went over to his place.

When the two met, Nick stared at her as though she was a creature from outer space. Slightly annoyed, he said, "| told you not to come, didn't 17" "Gary died, right?" Avery set the fruits she had bought on the coffee table. "Nick, can you accompanyto the hospital? If you go looking for Ruby, she wouldn't chase you out, would she?" "And if | refuse to?" He purposely tried to make things difficult for her.
"Then | will see you again tomorrow." "Are you threatening me?" Nick scowled." Do | owe you something? Why does it have to be me?" "You don't oweanything. I'm the one who owes you something," she said shyly.
"Alright, I'll go with you, but just this once! If we can’t find anything, then you are going to leavealone." Nick took a sip of tea.
"Yes. Thank you. | will never forget this." "Don’t try to flatter me. | wouldn't even put up with you if you weren't such a skilled doctor!" "| didn't think you to be this kind of a person. You look stern on the outside, but you are quite soft-hearted on the inside. Even if it's just for the sake of your friendship with Elliot, you would still help me.

"Do you need to call the hospital first?" "For what? So that they can alert Ruby and she can stop at the entrance?" Nick gave her a look.
She froze. "That hospital belongs to the Gould family?" "Yeah! The Gould family is the hospital's largest shareholder." Avery felt light-headed when she thought back to the fact that she had had her surgery in the shospital, and the Goulds could have easily killed her if they wanted to.
"Nick, you said that Ruby has turned into a completely different person after she killed her father. What kind of change are you talking about?" asked Avery curiously. She knew that she would not be able to avoid Ruby in the coming days.
"You know what she was like in the past. Well, now she is beginning to act a little like Gary," said Nick. "Maybe Edward managed to brainwash her, somehow.
Either way, do not underestimate her. After Gary's death, she now owns everything that once belonged to Gary." "Gary left her all his fortune?" Avery was surprised as Gary had not appeared to care about Ruby all that much.
Gary's preference for sons had caused him to treat Elliot and Paul better than he had his own daughter.
