The nanny took a bowl of chicken soup and brought it to Ruby. "Did you notice that Elliot's heart isn’t with you at all? He wouldn’t have been like this if Avery wasn't in the country."
Ruby took the chicken soup, took a sip, and said, "I'll talk to my father about it later. But Avery has an operation today, and she might have to stay in the hospital for a few days before leaving. By the time she does, Elliot’s heart will be back with me."
"Yes. This is the Goulds' territory after all. It doesn't matter how powerful Elliot was in the past, or how outstanding a person Avery was, because those who are at a disadvantage would not be able to one-up those in a better position. Elliot needs to fulfill his role as your husband, and Avery must leave this place."
The nanny's words made Ruby smile.
After drinking the soup, she went to Gary's house along with the nanny.
"How are you feeling, Dad?" Ruby asked as she held Gary's hand.
Gary looked at his daughter and asked, " What were you doing yesterday?"
"I now have Elliot's baby in my womb," Ruby said. "Get Avery to leave! Once she's gone, I'm sure I'll be able to make Elliot stay here."
"What's the deal with the baby?" Gary was very surprised.
After Ruby explained everything, Gary frowned and was not too satisfied.
"Don't be so quick to get mad at me. The role of this child is to keep Elliot here, and when he stays, you don't need to worry that he won't have children with me in the
future."
Ruby's words eased Gary's frown. "Alright, Ruby. You must keep Elliot here, and you need to get as good a grasp on his heart as Avery did. He's willing to give everything up for Avery, so you need to make sure he'll do the same for you."
Ruby nodded. "Yes. I'll do my best."
At the hospital, Avery was sent to the operating room once all the pre-operation preparations were complete.
The bodyguard stood outside the operating room door and waited anxiously.
After a while, Mike called Avery's cell phone.
