Avery sat in the lobby. Her eyes were in a daze. She was shuddering. She seemed to be in despair. She did not know what to do.
She did not want to tell Elliot because if she told him, he would really kill Henry and Cole. She did not want him to become a murderer!
However, if she did not tell Elliot about it, she would have to see Adrian and Shea die.
No matter what she thought, she only came to one solution. She sat in the hospital for a while before dialing Cole.
"Have you thought it through?” Cole answered her call, waiting for her reply.
"Let's meet and talk!" Avery came out of the hospital. "I'll send you the location. Come as soon as possible."
"Are you setting me up? Avery, let me tell you, Adrian is in our hands. If you're up to any tricks, Adrian will surely die!" Cole said nervously.
"I know," Avery said and hung up.
40 minutes later, they met in a private room of a restaurant near the hospital.
Cole carefully scanned the room.
"We're only meeting up, why do you have to get a private room? Are you hiding
someone?" Cole said and looked under the table.
Avery was amused by his cowardly actions. "You're so cowardly, yet you want to do bad things. If you were to do nothing wrong, you wouldn’t have to be afraid of who would be coming after you."
"Do you think I would change my mind if you said this to me? Have you ever heard that fortune favors the bold? My failures in the past were because I was a coward, so I have to be more courageous right now."
Cole sat down and poured himself some water.
"Cole, remember all the sweet things you said to me when you were pursuing me back then?" Avery changed to a lighter topic. "You said that you would always treat me well. Although things have passed, I still missed the kind version of you back then."
