Avery massaged her temples with her fingers. She thought that she would not be affected by his affairs anymore after getting a divorce. So why did her heart still feel hurt? Since Elliot cared about Shea so much, why could he not just focus on Shea and be together with Shea forever?
After giving it some thought, Avery found her answer very quickly. She did not care which woman he was with. She just could not accept that he was such a scumbag. It was hard to admit that she fell in love with a scumbag as it would make her question herself about her choice in men.
"Avery, are you alright?" asked Tammy worriedly, "I shouldn't have told you. But if I didn't tell you, you would still find out eventually."
"I'm alright," said Avery as she picked up the glass of water and took a drink.
"This is his choice. As long as he is happy with it," Avery continued to say.
"Jun said it was a request from Zoe. Her treatment was quite effective. Elliot wanted to pay her but she doesn't want any money," explained Tammy. 1
"You don't have to explain it to me," said Avery as she felt a little sick, "If he is not willing to, no one can force him."
"I heard Shea will need further treatment for her illness. Elliot wants Zoe to continue treating Shea so he had no choice but to agree with Zoe's request." Tammy continued to explain. However, the more she explained, the more she felt like she was defending Elliot for his actions.
Avery sneered, "Good for them. Since Zoe doesn't mind Elliot being a womanizer, it's a win-win situation for all three of them."
Tammy adhered, "That's right. Zoe has moved in with Elliot now. It's just weird. Never mind, as long as they don't feel weird about it. Forget that scumbag. He will not exist in our topics anymore."
"Okay. I'm busy with work nowadays. Let me treat you to dinner when I'm done with work," said Avery.
"Okay!" Tammy replied.
After finishing the conversation with Tammy, Avery fell into deep thought as she held the glass of water in her hands. She did not know anything about Zoe.
However, after this incident, she discovered that Zoe was quite courageous. 1
In actuality, Zoe was not the one who performed surgery for Shea and yet, she dared to use it as leverage to ask Elliot to be her boyfriend. Was she not afraid that Elliot would discover the truth?
Nevertheless, it did not matter to Avery at all whether Elliot knew the truth.
