"Oh... So you married Ruby for the Goulds' assets."
"It wasn't as if Gary got them legitimately." He scoffed and said, "Here, the rule of the game is to eat or be eaten."
"Do you genuinely like this kind of life, Elliot?" She hated the life he had just described to her, and she wanted him to realize what a horrible life it was. "Now that Christopher is dead, everything Gary has will be yours in the future as long as you spend a good life with Ruby."
"Gary doesn't share that view," he said. "He is forcing me to have a child with Ruby so that he can leave everything to that child. That child must take the Gould surname."
Avery could not help but laugh. "But our
children take my surname." "The situation is different. One is voluntary while the other is forced.”
"Will you be able to give up your current plans for the sake of me and our children?" She thought about the matter for a while, before she said, "We can have all the money we want, but we'll never be able to spend all of it during the course of our life."
"It’s not easy to get off a ship once it sets sail."
"I know. When I leave this place, you'll need to find a way to leave, too." She raised her head and placed a kiss on his cheek. " The children and I will wait for you, Elliot."
Outside the ward, the bodyguard saw the Gould family bodyguard and immediately pushed open the ward's door and walked in.
The first thing he saw was the two of them sleeping on the hospital bed, embracing each other.
The bodyguard felt shy. "Umm... Mr. Foster, the Goulds' bodyguard is looking for you. You need to hurry and leave, or else they might barge in here and tell Gary what they saw."
Elliot got out of bed at once.
After he went out, the bodyguard immediately closed the door to the ward.
"You really are amazing. Miss Tate!" The bodyguard walked to the side of the bed and sat down. He looked at Avery’s reddened face and said in awe, "It didn’t take long for you to seduce him into bed."
Avery was speechless.
"The two of you are a legitimately married couple, but here you are, meeting each other in secret." The bodyguard then said," This kind of sneaky rendezvous must be really exciting, isn't it?"
