Avery could see that Elliot was not doing well.
"The inpatient unit is that way, let’s go!" said Aaron, the bodyguard, breaking the silence. He had noticed that they had not moved.
The three of them headed to the inpatient unit.
When they reached the neurology department, Avery said to Elliot, "Get your bodyguard to pay the bill."
Elliot immediately got his card out and handed it to the bodyguard. After the bodyguard left, Avery led Elliot into a doctor's office.
There were two doctors in the office. They were rather surprised to see Avery and Elliot entering the room.
Avery took Elliot into the office washroom and shut the door.
"Didn't I tell you to decline their request? Why did you not listen to me?" growled Elliot.
"Why should I refuse Gary treatment?" Avery had her own reasons for wanting to treat Gary. "Nick told me that once Gary is dead, you will no longer have to fulfill your promises to him."
Elliot was stunned by her bold idea. "Are you going to take this as an opportunity to kill Gary?"
"Can't I? " Avery raised her eyebrows. "I could do it secretly. I swear no one will realize it was me."
Elliot was speechless. "Do you think that they are chivalrous gentlemen who can be reasoned with?"
Avery was stunned.
"If Gary accidentally dies, his men will cut you to pieces! They will do it irrespective of whose fault it is," said Elliot, rejecting her idea.
"If I don't kill him, am I going to treat him? What a joke..."
"Why are you in a hospital gown?" Elliot stared at her hospital gown. "Are you sick?"
She blushed nervously. She remembered the lie she had told Mike and said, "A minor gynecology procedure."
