Chapter 321 The world began to spin around Elliot and he almost passed out.
Did Avery lie to him, or was Shea imagining things after the surgery?
Elliot pulled out his phone, called Zoe and told her to hurry back to the hospital.
Zoe had a bad feeling when she heard the anxiety in Elliot’s voice.
“Slow down, Elliot. Is there something wrong with Shea? She just woke up. She needs some time to slowly recover.”
The apprehension in Elliot’s heart calmed down.
However, Shea did not have this strange reaction after her last surgery.
He hung up the phone, then returned to Shea’s bedside.
“You just got out of surgery, Shea. Don’t think too much. You’ll get a headache,” he said as he gazed tenderly at Shea and smiled. “I can feel that you’re getting better.”
“My head hurts a little,” Shea said as she took a breath.
“Doctor Sanford’s on her way over. We’ll see if she can prescribe some painkillers.”
“I don’t want to see Doctor Sanford,” Shea said wearily as she lowered her gaze.
Elliot’s Adam’s apple rolled in his throat.
“Doctor Sanford was the one who operated on you, Shea. You know your manners. You should thank her when she arrives later.”
“No…” Shea said stubbornly as she lifted her eyes to meet Elliot’s. “It was Avery… She was by my side. I heard her talking to me… She asked me to talk to her and answer her questions… She was gentle, unlike usual…”
“That was just an illusion, Shea. Avery’s been with another man since last night. There’s no way she was with you.”
Elliot was beginning to feel anxious, but he did not show it.
He was worried that Shea would feel even more nervous if she saw him that way.
Shea was stunned when she heard his words.
An illusion?
Was it really just an illusion?
She clearly remembered Avery’s voice and the questions she asked her.
Avery told her that she had to stay awake, and that she could sleep later.
