Avery and Elliot were once very close to each other. She has seen every single part of his body. She was very sure that he did not have any scars on his head. That meant that the great doctor did not operate on him, but how did he cure Elliot then? There was no such special medicine in this world.
All of this was contradictory to science. Her perceptions were turned upside down. She was puzzled by it.
Her phone rang. She took it out of her bag and saw who was calling her. Her emotions calmed down instantly.
"Adrian." Avery was surprised that he would call her.
"Avery, when are you coming to see me?" Adrian's voice was not as sprightly as the previous time. He seemed upset.
"What happened? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Avery asked worryingly.
Adrian was silent for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, "I don't think they like me. Only you treat me well."
"What happened?" Avery's chest constricted. "Adrian, did they say anything to you? Or did they do anything to you?"
"No...I feel that they don't like me," Adrian said apprehensively.
"Your father said that he has brought you to see many doctors to cure you. He has paid me a huge sum too. If he doesn't love you, he wouldn't have spent so much money to cure you." Avery only comforted him that way because his family did not actually abuse him.
If he said that his family humiliated or physically abused him, Avery would have immediately flown to Bridgedale to help him.
"Hmm. Will you be annoyed at me for calling you?" Adrian asked cautiously.
"No!" Avery smiled. Her eyes were filled with tenderness. "Adrian, I'm happy that you called. When I return to Bridgedale, I'll go look for you, okay?"
