Though Albert seemed to be a much easier opponent than the stern-faced Adolf, still, for some reason, Zed was worried inside his mind and the most inexplicable fact was that he had no idea why he was feeling so. It was just unsettling. It was for this very reason that he found it hard to answer Jean's angry question.
"Are you insane? What's going on in your mind?" Jean asked again. Apparently, she was extremely annoyed by him right now, as he had been silent the entire time without telling why.
"Zed, at least tell me why you feel that way?" Moore pushed Zed a bit as he fixed his eyes on him and waited patiently for an answer.
"I don't know. But I just have a strong feeling that it will be better if I trust Adolf. Now if you recall your memories of that when Adolf shouted at Avery today in front of us. Do you remember what was her reaction back then? To my surprise, Avery still looked compliant to Adolf. This clearly means that whatever Adolf said is for Avery's own good, and she understands it as clearly as we do. Don't you think that's true?
However on the contrary, Albert knows that Avery is a star who has a very tight schedule and that she trusts him very much, but he was still advising us to help get Avery out of the hospital later at night, despite the fact that he had initially asked us not do anything rashly no matter how Avery was feeling at the moment. That's kind of strange. If he was really trying to do good to Avery, he would never have done such a thing." Zed was busy analyzing the current situation, almost oblivious to the people around him.
"Really? But why?" Jean asked with confusion written all over her face. She added, "I thought that it was because he cares about Avery's feelings that he came up with the idea to help her out of troubles. Was I wrong?"
"I think we all saw very clearly what happened today when Adolf lost his temper. Don't you think it was extremely horrible? Now imagine what would happen if he found out that Avery escaped from the hospital tonight. Wouldn't he throw another temper tantrum just like we saw earlier on? No, getting through this so easily is impossible. The situation is going to be a lot more serious when Avery escapes and the damages it would cause would be catastrophic on both financial, as well as social scale. The media is going to scatter a lot of bad news about her and Avery is going to face too many problems in her future. However, if she doesn't want to be in the entertainment business, then that is fine,"
Zed explained with a serious look on his face.
"Is it that serious?" Jean enquired in surprise. She hadn't fathomed that the problems were so deep.
"The Internet works so well nowadays, and we all know how much gossip affects a person's life, especially when it comes on the Internet. This is an especially enormous problem for celebrities. Even you've suffered from it once, and I'm sure you know well about that. What do you think would happen if Avery had been the victim of the cyber violence this time?" Zed asked with his eyes fixated on Jean.
"It would be a hundred or maybe a thousand times harder for Avery to deal with it as compared to other people!" Jean uttered suddenly. Her face had turned pale as she was speaking and she asked, "What should we do now? Are we really not going to see Avery tonight?"
"No, we definitely have to go," Zed replied and paused with a frown on his face. He continued, "But still, whatever happens is solely Avery's decision and it is her right to decide and choose."
Moore nodded at his words in agreement and remarked, "Yes, Zed's right. After all, her future depends on her own wishes."
Hearing Moore agree to what Zed was saying, Jean felt that she'd better not trouble them anymore than they already were. They had come to an agreement now. However, she was still really worried in her heart about what Avery's final decision might be and what would follow her as a result of her choice. She had already suffered one and she didn't want Avery to suffer like that either. However, she also found Zed and Moore had a point, so she could only sigh and agree as well, "Well, in that case, let's go and find out tonight."
The three of them talked a little longer, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
When they got back to their bedroom, Zed closed the door and then carried her softly to the bed. As he carefully helped her sit down, he ordered her, "Jean, you take a good rest at home tonight. Moore and I will take care of things."
"No! I have to go with you two. I'm so worried," Jean refused immediately. She did not want to be left out.
"Jean, you're pregnant and you've got a foot sprain. It's not convenient for you to walk and you might slow us down. And think about it, what if we suddenly meet Adolf in the hospital? There is a very high probability of verbal and even physical fights in such a scenario and I can never allow you to fall between that," Zed replied firmly with a serious look on his face. He looked into Jean's eyes and added, "It will be really better if you stay at home and wait for us to deliver the good news."
"Zed, I know you are saying this for my own good but, you do know me, I'll be really worried if I can't go with you. Let me go with you guys. I will not hold you back, I promise," Jean begged and looked pitifully at Zed, as she blinked her bright eyes at him.
