Elliot entered the doctor's office. He asked the doctor on duty about Gary's condition. Once he was done, he left the office and headed straight for the nearby elevator.
After walking in, he pressed the number for the floor below him.
The elevator reached his destination in no time, and he walked out.
Instead of going directly to ward V03, he went to the neurosurgeon's office.
The doctor was stunned to see Elliot.
He sat down opposite the doctor and said, ” I want to know how Avery is doing."
"This... This involves the patient's privacy.
I am unable to tell you anything." The doctor looked nervous. Elliot had clearly put him in a tight spot. "You could speak to her if you know her."
"She said it is a minor operation. I want to know if it's a minor operation or not." He changed his phrasing.
The doctor pushed his spectacles higher up his nose and considered Elliot's request. Finally, he said, "She doesn't trust Ylore's doctors, and a doctor from Bridgedale is performing the operation. Does it sound like a minor one or a major one to you?"
Elliot frowned, immediately got up, and was about to leave for Avery's ward when the doctor said, "This is a minor operation for Miss Tate, so she wasn’t technically lying to you."
Elliot sat down again, calmed himself down a bit, and said, "She got a specialist from Bridgedale?" "Yes. Initially, I was her doctor, but after she received the results of her checkup, she decided to get a specialist from Bridgedale. She was not too confident in my skills. She did mention that he was her university classmate and that he is now a specialist in a big hospital! It's an amazing achievement at such a young age!"
"Jed Hutchinson?"
"That's him! Not only is Dr. Hutchinson a renowned expert at such a young age, but he also has a knack for making
connections! He had even invited me to a meeting with vice president Miller!"
"When did she register with the hospital?"
"Some time ago. Wasn’t long after your surgery at our hospital!"
Elliot’s heart tightened all of a sudden. She had come here shortly after his surgery ?h"=TLY: had discovered that she was suffering from a very serious illness.
