"I will make sure that she arrives at Aryadale safely, and after she is back in Aryadale, I'll see that she will go for her scheduled check-ups," promised Elliot.
The doctor could only give his permission for Avery to leave.
Avery felt that she was being pushed around, she could not help but frown at Elliot interfering in her life.
"Elliot Foster, I'm not leaving," said Avery, as she dragged Elliot by his arm out of the room.
"I already booked your flight, you are leaving today," said Elliot.
"I'm not going," said Avery.
"You have to go. After you leave, I will make sure that they get what they deserve," promised Elliot.
Avery could feel something in her throat, there were a billion things she wanted to say to Elliot, but somehow she could not find the courage to say anything.
Avery wanted to tell Elliot that she had to end Gary's life personally, only then would she be able to finally rest in peace knowing that Jed had been avenged.
However, Avery also knew that she was in no condition to go against Gary. With her current condition, she was only a liability to Elliot.
"Where am I going to?" asked Avery after a slight pause.
"I haven't bought the tickets yet. You said you wanted to go to Bridgedale, I'm not sure if you want to return to Aryadelle or go to Bridgedale," replied Elliot.
"I'll go to Bridgedale then. I have to at least apologize to Jed's parents," said Avery.
"You should wait till you are fully recovered. What if they don't take it that well? Wait until I'm all done here, then I'll go with you," said Elliot.
Avery did not say anything.
After the doctor finished the discharge procedure, Elliot and Avery went to her ward to pack up her stuff.
The bodyguard took all of Avery's luggage.
"Go!" said Elliot to the bodyguard.
"Should I go to the hotel or..." asked the bodyguard.
