Avery sat on the bed, hugging her knees close to her, sobbing loudly.
Time drew her deeper into the night, clearing her mind. She could hear the regret screaming in her heart.
She heard the whirring and rumbling of the helicopter on the rooftop. Soon, it disappeared into the night.
She heard footsteps outside her door, but she did not look up. She did not care who entered her room.

"Miss Tate. | gave you this dagger to protect yourself, not commit murder," Nick said helplessly, "I have to take this dagger back." Avery sobbed out loud. "I did try to kill him, but | did not dare to do it." "Well, you did provoke him," Nick said calmly. "The result was the same as stabbing the dagger into his heart yourself. What difference does it make?" Avery was suddenly at a loss for words by Nick's questions.
"Your mother passed away last year, right? You should know when our close ones pass away, that makes us sensitive and fragile." Nick lit a cigarette, holding it between his fingers. "His mother passed away, so we came here to be with him. He had asked us to leave tomorrow. Maybe, he found us too rowdy." Avery closed her eyes and looked at the bloody bed in a daze.
"I don’t know what love and hatred that lies between the two of you, but | know that he has eyes only for you. No other woman has caught his eyes. We even found a bunch of beautiful women for him, but not once did he look at them. And all of them are prettier than you, and their bodies are better than yours too... so why do you think he came looking for you? Don’t you understand?" Avery took a deep breath. "I don't love him anymore.” "Oh..." Nick looked at her before picking up the cigarette. He inhaled the cigarette and exhaled a thick fog of smoke. "Then, why are you crying? Didn't he say even if he died, he would not bother you?" Avery was speechless.
"Could you have been frightened by the blood? Don't lie to me. The amount of blood you've seen is more than what we see in a year's worth of fighting," said Nick. "It's late. | don't bother you anymore.” After Nick left, the nanny came in with a shocked expression.
"Miss Tate... do you want to sleep in another room tonight? I'll tidy the room up.” Avery stopped crying. Her tone was cold. " I'll stay here." The nanny took a clean set of sheets ?g ? TMQ? helped Avery get off the bed.
"Miss Tate, the wound on your leg might have opened. There is blood coming out," said the nanny. "But the doctor isn't here." Avery lowered her gaze. The dressing was indeed red. It might be Elliot's blood, but it might be hers too.
Her injury hurt a lot, but she did not want to deal with it.
After changing the sheets on the bed, the nanny helped Avery into it. Avery lay down.
When the nanny left, she switched off the light.
Avery opened her eyes and looked around the dark room. Her mind kept replaying the incident that happened a moment ago.
Hurting others could easily be explained away by his violent nature, but the harm he inflicted on himself could not.

Avery's tears kept falling.

There was a knock on the door, and the nanny entered bringing in breakfast.
