Chapter 224
Avery’s car doors were locked!
There was only a piece of glass between them, and Elliot had no way of getting to her.
The bodyguard rushed over with an emergency hammer, smashed the windshield open, and jumped into the car.
Once he was in the bodyguard unlocked the doors.
Elliot opened the door to the driver’s seat and took Avery in his arms.
She had no visible injuries, but her breathing was shallow!
She looked as if she was in a coma.
Otherwise, she would have been startled awake when the bodyguard broke the windshield.
At the hospital, after giving Avery a thorough examination, the doctor said, “She fainted from lack of oxygen. You sent her here just in time, so she‘s not in any danger. All she needs is some rest. She‘ll be fine when she wakes up.”
“How did she end up with a lack of oxygen? Did her test results show that something was wrong?” Elliot asked.
“Her blood tests showed that all of her vitals are fine... Apart from some low blood sugar, there weren‘t any issues,” answered the doctor as he took a look at the report, then handed it over to Elliot.
“Why is she still unconscious? When will she wake up? Does she really not need to be hospitalized?”
Seeing Avery‘s haggard face, Elliot could not help but feel that things were not as simple as they seemed.
There were no external injuries, but she had ended up unconscious in a locked car.
This meant that she had most likely suffered some kind of internal injury.
“She‘s probably tired, Mr. Foster. That‘s why she‘s sleeping deeply and hasn’t woken up,” the doctor explained, then added in case Elliot did not believe him, “Look at the dark circles under her eyes and her bloodshot eyes.”
The doctor gently lifted Avery‘s eyelid for Elliot to see.
Elliot finally felt a sense of relief after seeing the redness in Avery’s eyes.
He thought of how she must have nodded off while she was driving and finally fell asleep on
Otherwise, how did she get so tired to the point of locking herself in her car?
