Jed furrowed his brows. As a doctor, the patient’s health was above everything else.
As Avery’s old schoolmate, Avery's sickness was also above her relationship with Elliot.
"What if Elliot needs a long time to regain his memories? What if he can never regain his memories?" Jed asked, "Are you planning to drag this on forever? Your tumor might not be big right now, but when it grows bigger, it might become malignant. By then..."
"I will check up on it regularly. Once the tumor becomes bigger, I will immediately undergo surgery. Jed, I won’t risk my life." Avery looked at Jed and told him her thoughts, "Elliot has just done the memory erasure surgery, now is the easiest time to regain his memory. Give me a month. Let me try!"
"One month." Jed swallowed his saliva. "If he still doesn't have any feelings for you in a month, you have to immediately do the surgery.”
"Okay." Avery was thankful for his understanding. "Jed, I shouldn't take up so much of your time. Why don't you go back to work? When I've decided to do the surgery. I'll call you over."
Jed shook his head. "Since I started working, I haven’t had a holiday. I’ll treat now as my holiday. I can't relax if you don't do the surgery. You have always been Professor Hough's brightest pupil. If something were to happen to you, he would surely be upset. Although he has already passed away, he lives in my heart forever." Avery's tears fell upon hearing what Jed said.
"Jed. I owe you one. In the future, if you need my help, I will surely repay the favor."
"It’s not that serious. If we were to swap places, you would help me too." Jed furrowed his brows. "I think you're being illogical. Although Elliot has lost his memories, his body is still healthy. It will still be the same if you look for him after the surgery."
Avery shook her head. "It won't be the same. From the surgery to recuperating, I need at least one month. Within this month, there are too many uncertainties. You don’t know what type of a person Gary Gould is. You don't know him. He got Elliot to do the surgery so that Elliot could become a chess piece in his game. I can’t let Elliot get in too deep!"
Jed heard her explanation :d%=TNX; roughly understood why she was so anxious to regain Elliot's memories.
"Can you get close to him right now?" Jed asked.
