Jed strode out of the ward afterward.
Right as he stepped out, he saw Elliot standing not far away from him.
Elliot was leaning against the window smoking a cigarette.
To Jed's surprise, Elliot had already returned to the hospital.
Yet, he did not step into Ruby's ward all this while.
Jed then walked up to Elliot and saw a lot of cigarette butts in the trash can in front of Elliot.
"Is Avery safe now?" asked Jed.
"Yeah. I saw you fell asleep, so I didn't wake you up." Elliot threw the cigarette he was holding into the trash can, "Off you go." "I was about to. By the way, she already woke up. You should check on her."
Elliot pursed his lips and strode back to Ruby's ward while Jed headed to the lift.
For some unknown reason, Elliot was terrifying in Jed's eyes.
Although Elliot looked calm on the outside, Jed could sense that a storm was coming when he looked into Elliot's eyes.
To Jed, Elliot was like a dormant beast that would wake up at any time!
Time flew, and the sun was now up in the sky.
Avery stood in front of the door to Jed's room. She then pressed the doorbell.
When Jed saw Avery outside of his room, he immediately invited her to go in.
"Jed, where did you get your swollen eyes from? Remember to see the doctor." Avery was shocked by the wound on Jed's face.
"I've already taken an anti-inflammatory pill." Jed did not care about his wounds," Oh, right, I have your phone, but it's run out of battery. My charger won't work on your phone."
He then handed over her phone to her.
"When did you come back last night?" asked Jed.
