Jed's girlfriend arrived at the hospital about an hour later and was stunned to see
Avery.
"Did Jed do the surgery for you? Where is he?"
The bodyguard immediately held her and wanted to bring her out to speak.
However, she pushed the bodyguard away abruptly and insisted on confronting Avery.
"He sent me a message at four yesterday morning, saying that he wouldn't be able to operate on me." Avery was afraid that the woman would not believe her, so she turned on her phone and showed the text message.
Jed's girlfriend took Avery’s mobile phone, read the text message, and felt her scalp turn numb. "Nonsense! He didn't contact me at all, and he never told me he was going back to the country!"
"You mean to say he didn't return to the country to find you?" Avery had a bamboozled look.
"Why would I come all the way here to ask about him if he did?! It's been at least half a month since I last saw him!" She returned Avery's mobile phone. "I need an explanation!"
Avery felt like her head was about to explode.
The bodyguard immediately reassured Avery, "Don't move too much, Miss Tate. Just lie on the bed. I’ll explain it to her!"
As he said that, he held Jed's girlfriend and wanted to bring her out again.
"What do you have to say? Explain it right here and now!"
Avery agreed. "What is there for you to explain? Do you know where Jed is?"
The bodyguard stammered. "I... Yes."
"Where is he?! Tell me!" Avery was getting just as riled up and was about to get up from the hospital bed.
