However, no one was forcing Elliot to drink.
Once he finished the bottle, Ben looked at him and asked, "is your injury completely recovered? Didn’t the doctor tell you to stay away from alcohol for three months? It hasn't been three months yet, right?"
Jun heard them and hastily brought over a bottle of fruit juice.
"Elliot, drink some juice!" Jun cleared all the wine bottles in front of Elliot. "There's still food left in the kitchen, do you guys want some?"
Ben finished his own bottle and dragged Elliot towards the kitchen. As soon as the two left, the mood in the living room had lightened up instantly.
Ben went to pour a glass of juice and passed it to Elliot.
"If only I knew that it's going to be this awkward, I wouldn't have brought you here, " Ben said with a bitter smile, "why don't I send you back?"
Jun stood beside them and said, "you both drank, so neither of you can drive. I booked an ambulance today, so maybe you guys can go back by ambulance?"
Both Ben and Elliot were rendered speechless by the notion.
Seeing how shocked they were, Jun said," um... If you don't want to head back, you can just rest here. I booked a total of eight mansions, so there should be enough rooms."
Confused, Ben asked, "why did you book an ambulance?"
"...Avery skipped lunch today and needed Tammy's help going upstairs. I was worried that she might faint, so I called an ambulance here to standby," Jun explained, "this place is miles away from the closest hospital, after all."
Ben felt even more confused. "Why didn't she eat?"
"I don't know! Tammy won't let me ask about it and said that I am on Elliot's side...
It’s not that she hates Elliot, but she is very protective over Avery. I can understand, since they have been friends for many years..." Jun said while peeping at Elliot.
Elliot's face was slightly flushed from the wine he drank earlier, but he wasn't sure if he was in the right mind. "Did she eat at night?" "I think so! Tammy drove and bought some spicy chicken soup for her. Avery seemed quite energetic when she came downstairs, so she must have eaten," Jun said.
Elliot picked up the glass of juice ?d"
