Avery did not give Elliot any time to react. She immediately asked, [Why are you looking for me? I'm in room V03. If you want to see me, just come over.]
Of course, she had guessed that him looking for her was just an excuse.
She calculated the time. Gary should be done with his checkup and sent to the inpatient unit for treatment.
Gary's trusted aide was clearly not to be messed with. Although he was not Gary's son, he did not hold a low rank. If not, he would not have dared wield his power before Elliot.
Elliot replied to her after a while. [Someone told me that you were in the neurosurgery department, and I wanted to know why you lied to me.]
Avery teased, [If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have cared why I lied.]
Elliot did not reply because she was too direct.
Up till that point, he had not remembered anything of their lives. All he knew, he had heard from others, but even then, she still affected his judgment.
He could analyze logically and be objective with anyone but her. Every time he saw her, his brain would turn into mush.
It was a curse, and he was destined to fall in love with her again, step by step.
At eleven that night, Avery got Jed and her bodyguard to head back to the hotel to get some rest.
"I haven't done the surgery yet! I could have returned to the hotel to rest today, too, " Avery said with a lazy smile, lying in bed.
Ever since her meeting with Elliot, she smiled more.
The bodyguard said to Jed, "Dr.
Hutchinson, why don't you head back to the hotel! I'll stay back to look after Miss Tate!"
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
"Go with Jed!" Avery said to her bodyguard. "I'm safe here."
"Okay! I never intended to leave," the bodyguard said =g+
