After Avery left, Elliot looked at the pasta in front of him. The egg was way too salty. However, at the thought of her taking the effort to cook the meal, he ate it.
He took a deep breath and drank three cups of water straight, washing away the saltiness on his tongue.
Avery and Jed's teacher agreed to meet at a cafe.
When they met, Jed's teacher passionately shook Avery's hand. "Avery, I have heard Jed mention you before. He called me before he went to Ylore to look for you.”
Avery was a little surprised. "What did he say?" "He said that you trust him a lot, so he was rather nervous," Jed's teacher said. "Once he reached Ylore, I called him to ask about his situation. He wanted to protect your privacy, so he wasn't willing to disclose much to me, and I didn't ask him any further."
"I was the one who told him not to tell anyone about my condition."
"I understand. When I heard about his death, I visited his parents. They were very sad, but I didn't dare to ask them about it."
"To be honest, we don't know what happened either.” Avery took out the checkup report she did at Ylore. "This is the surgery proposal Jed and I came up with. These are the checkup reports that Jed did for me. One day before the surgery, he had me on general anesthesia. You should know that general anesthesia is harmful to the body. Also, we wouldn't give our patients general anesthesia twice in such a short time, unless it's two consecutive major surgeries, but we won't usually do it either."
When Jed's teacher heard what Avery said, his expression changed.
"That is definitely not allowed! Why did Jed do this?"
"I asked him about this. He said that the dosage was not up to the dosage of general anesthesia. I didn't doubt him then, so I didn't follow up. After his death, I searched and saw that it was the dosage of general anesthesia."
