Avery knew that Elliot only said that to calm her down, but nothing anyone did could soothe her emotions!
She was heartbroken, and the more uncomfortable she was, the more painful the wound on her head became.
"Stop thinking about that, Avery!" Elliot held her hand tightly and emphasized, "I don’t care if the sky is about to fall. Just don't worry about it! We'll talk about everything once you're discharged from the hospital!"
She tried to take a deep breath and calm her trembling body.
It took her a few minutes before her mood calmed down.
"Close your eyes," Elliot urged in a low voice. "You'll recover quicker if you rest well."
She did not heed his advice to close her eyes because she did not want to.
Jed's face would appear in her mind whenever she closed them.
She never suspected anything when she saw Jed's message, and it was truly horrifying to know that Gary was so cruel!
She could not let herself act as if nothing had happened, and she had to stay awake even if she could temporarily suppress her anger.
"Please leave. I want to be alone." She pulled her hand away from the clutches of his big palm. "I'll rest and recuperate, and I won't get out of bed. I just want to be alone." "Okay.” He got up and looked at her pale, icy face. "I'll be outside. Just call me if you need me."
"You don't need to wait outside," she refused, after which she said, "Go back and rest! The bodyguard will take care of me. I'll be fine, and I can get out of bed tomorrow."
"Why won't you let me accompany you?" He started to wonder if she had shifted her hatred of Gary to him.
"I just want to be alone. I don't want to hear any advice, and I don't want to hear anything! All I want is to get well in peace!” Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall at any moment. She felt choked and said, "I'm begging you. Please, just go!"
