Avery took the report, looked at the results, and frowned.
"We need to change our previous plan."
"Yes. I was just about to tell you that," Jed said. "Your condition is deteriorating very quickly. We need to do the operation as soon as possible."
Avery glanced at the balcony and put away the report. "We'll talk about it later tonight."
"Okay. Have you eaten yet?"
"No. My bodyguard went to buy some food."
Jed took out his mobile phone, "I'll call him and ask him to get some for me too."
Avery walked toward the balcony and wanted to hear what Elliot was talking to the child about.
She had just reached the door when it was pulled open.
Elliot had ended the video call, so he returned Avery’s cell phone.
"What did you tell Layla?” she asked while taking the phone.
His handsome cheeks were slightly red. " Ask your daughter! I have to go up now."
"Can't you come over later tonight?" she hesitated and asked.
His face turned a bit redder again. "That would depend on the situation. I'll send you a message later."
"Okay." She sent him out of the ward.
After he left, she went back to the hospital bed and sat down.
Jed joked, "That's practically a date in the hospital! I've never seen a patient with such a cheery disposition as yours." "This proves that I trust your medical skills too much. I'm only in the mood to date because I'm confident you can cure me."
"I can breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the improvement in your relationship," Jed sat down on the chair next to her. "You did so much for him, and it would've been unfair for you if he insisted on staying here.
"There's nothing fair or unfair about it. I came to him on my own accord. I’m not going to hate him even though I can't save him." She picked up the water bottle and took a sip. "Why did you put me under general anesthesia, Jed? It's just a simple checkup. I'll have to be under general anesthesia again if I undergo the operation.
