NovelOnlineAvery hesitated.
Elliot was a prideful man. If the public were to know about this, he would surely be the topic of conversation and rumors.
He usually kept a low profile. He would not want something like this to becpublic.
"Miss Tate, | implore you to reconsider. I'll talk to the others on the committee about this matter. We'll see if there is a better solution. Can you give us
a little time, please?" The committee leader noticed her hesitation. He immediately offered her a way out.
"Okay, | hope that all of you will consider this carefully." Avery only had a short moment of hesitation, but she did not change her stance. "If you don't
change your answer by then, no matter what threat you use, be it my teacher's reputation or Elliot's, | will not be threatened.”
"Okay. | understand.”
After the call, Avery returned to the ward, only to find that Elliot had vanished.

"Elliot!" Avery yelled out in shock.
Her yells attracted the bodyguard who was outside the ward.
"Miss Tate, what happened?” the bodyguard asked nervously.
"Where is he?"
"He didn't leave the ward!" The bodyguard had been guarding the door. He did not see Elliot leave.
Just as worry began to fill Avery, the bathroom door opened, and Elliot walked out.
Avery and the bodyguard stared at him in shock.
Although a week had passed since his surgery, Elliot had only cout of coma two days ago. Everyone had thought that he could not get out of
bed. No one had thought that he could get out of bed to use the bathroom...
From how easily he walked, it seemed that he could be discharged already.
"Avery, who were you talking to on the phone?" Elliot asked.
If Avery had not been on the phone for such a long time, Elliot would not have thought to get out of bed. Before Avery had brought the children over
that morning, he had felt rather weak and tired. His head had hurt too.
After drinking the soup that she fed him and being cleaned up by her, he felt as if he had been injected with energy.
His head did not hurt that much anymore, too, and he felt a little more energetic than he had felt that morning.
Once he recovered his strength, he could no longer lie in bed.
"Why did you get out of bed? Do you feel dizzy?" Avery immediately helped him to bed and sat down. "If you wanted to go to the bathroom, why didn't
you call out for help? If you didn't want to yell, you could have pressed the button and gotten the nurse to help you!"
Elliot said, "I'm fine. I'm not dizzy. | just wanted to try to see if | could get out of bed."

"Of course, you could get out of bed, but it's best if you do it under supervision. What if you had fallen head first on the ground?" Avery said. "I hope
more than anyone that you get discharged earlier.”
"Why?"
"Are you comfortable staying here?" Avery asked. "Don't miss home? Don't you wish to be able to see your adorable children when you open your
eyes every day? Hayden said that he is leaving this weekend. | hope that they will discharge you before the weekend."
"| can get discharged right now." Elliot looked at her seriously. "I'm not dizzy. My head only hurts a little."
"Get up." Avery pulled his arm. "I'll help you walk around again. See if your body can take it or not."
"Okay. Wasn't | in ICU for a few days? | guess that when | was in the ICU, my brain recovered quite a bit. It doesn’t hurt as much anymore." Elliot
walked out of the ward with Avery's help. "Avery, did you talk to Hayden again? | think he treatsmuch better."
"Hmm. Other than having a heart-to-heart talk, he has matured quite a bit too," Avery said. "He now knows the boundaries. He knows that my life is
mine, and his life is his."
