"Why did your car get towed?" Elliot’s brows furrowed slightly. "What happened? Why didn't you call me?"
"It was a small matter.” Avery picked up her glass and took a sip of water. "I bumped into the brother of my patient in Bridgedale. Apart from my patient, there’s something strange about his family. I'm upset that they won’t let my patient
contact me. When I saw his brother on the street earlier, I ran over to talk to him."
Elliot was baffled after hearing her explanation. ’’Since your patient’s family doesn’t want to let you contact him, then why won't you respect their wishes, Avery? He's your patient, not your family. You can’t get involved in their personal matters. "I knew you'd say that." Avery frowned. " This patient is different from the others."
"I know. He's got the same illness as Shea did. That's why you're paying extra attention to him, right?" Elliot interjected." Since his family was able to cough up a huge sum of money to hire you, then that means they’re definitely not an average family. They'll naturally take care of him well."
"The weird thing is that they're not taking care of him at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to get involved in other people's business." Avery lowered her gaze and said, "I know you still don't think that's got anything to do with me, but I can't help but want to get involved.”
Elliot's heart softened. "I'm not saying you're wrong, Avery. If they're really abusing your patient, then go ahead and get involved! I'll back you up."
Avery quickly shook her head and said, " I'm a busybody, but I won't do anything beyond my own capability. Besides, you are working on our wedding. You don't need to worry about small matters like this.
"Alright."
"I heard you had this illness when you were younger, too, and that you were cured by a miracle worker. Did you ever go see that person again?" Avery brought up the question that was bothering her. "It would be a pity if you weren't cured back then."
Elliot's expression turned puzzled. "Nobody ever told me about that. I know nothing about this miracle worker, so I never knew how to find him." "Oh, that's a shame." Avery glanced at the time, then said, "Let's go have lunch. I'm a little hungry." "Alright. Tell me right away the next time your car gets towed. You don't have to go :c# =VKQ< get it back yourself," Elliot said.
"There won’t be a next time," Avery said, embarrassed. "I was too impulsive today. It was pretty dangerous."
"Good."
