Moore did it just the way Jean had asked him to but he wasn't sure whether it was going to work or not.
Standing aside, Zed put on a pleased look.
Judging from the surprised and moved look on Avery's face, she was obviously touched by Moore's words.
Zed couldn't help but admit that Jean indeed knew Avery quite well. Avery's reaction proved Jean was right.
Slowly, Avery took a deep breath and looked at Moore. As far as she knew, it was the first time that Moore had talked to her so much.
No matter what, this brought a weird kind of contentment in her heart.
"All right. I accept." Lifting the corner of her lips, Avery nodded.
Zed and Moore didn't expect that it would be so easy for Avery to say yes to this plan. They looked at her with their stunned faces.
In truth, they were prepared for using persuasive words to make her go.
But now, Avery already accepted it just after hearing Moore's words.
"Avery, do you really agree to it?" Zed asked again to make sure his ears hadn't played tricks on him.
"Of course. You invited me with sincerity. How can I refuse it?"
Avery replied with a smile.
"But you didn't even hesitate. Aren't you afraid that Adolf will go insane when he notices that you are not in the hospital any more?" Zed asked with concern in his voice.
"I've thought about it earlier. It's all right since, I'll leave just for a few days," Avery answered with confidence dancing on her face.
"Are you sure about it? Adolf was so angry when he learnt that you got sick and got into the hospital. And he wasn't afraid to show his anger even in front of us. How could that be all right?" Moore also didn't believe it so he asked with confusion written all over his face.
"Believe me. Adolf may be hard on the outside but he has a good heart. He is not as harsh as you think. Relax! I'll just leave for a few days. The worst result is that I'll be scolded by him. I really need a few days of rest since my schedule has been tight lately," Avery explained.
"Do you still believe it was right of Adolf to get himself drunk when he learnt that you wanted to pretend to be sick?"
Eyebrows furrowed into a frown, Zed asked.
He still found Avery's reaction strange.
"Got himself drunk? Adolf is not such kind of person. I don't think that is possible. Besides, he is a self-disciplined man. There's no way he would do that."
Avery let out a laughter as she didn't believe Zed's words.
"Are you sure?" Upon hearing Avery's reply, Zed's frown deepened. He turned to Moore helplessly.
Moore was wearing an odd look on his face and shook his head towards Zed.
"Yeah, I'm sure about it. We've already known each other for three years. I have never seen him go for a drink alone. He took an oath that he would not be drunk any more since he thought drinking too much would dull his mind. Once his girlfriend was kidnapped while he was drunk. He wasn't in a sane mind to help her. So he is still guilty about it. His girlfriend got killed then. The pain was so extreme that he spent two years drowning in sorrow. Moreover, he left his gangs because of that."
"He used to be in the gangs?" Zed was slightly relieved when he heard Avery.
Even though Albert lied to them a lot, he didn't lie about Adolf's identity.
