Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 868

If Nathan truly loved Adrian, then he would not call him an idiot.

Elliot never called Shea such a thing, and he would get furious if anyone called Shea an idiot.

This was the difference between loving someone and not loving someone.

“There’s an old saying in Aryadelle that you never see a good person standing by the bed of someone with an old illness. I think Adrian’s family probably does love him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have spent all that money and effort to treat his illness.” Avery took a sip of water, then readjusted her mindset.

“I suppose that’s true. Either way, his family still shouldn’t be letting out their frustrations on you.”

“I was the one who didn’t explain things to them well enough before the surgery. They were under the impression that I could help Adrian return to normal.” Avery lowered her gaze and looked at Adrian. 

“Perhaps I said something that made them misunderstand.”

“Their expectations were too high. It would already be a great outcome if Adrian’s condition improves slightly,” said the nurse as she comforted Avery. 

“Don’t stoop to their level, Doctor Tate. By the way, don’t forget to collect the payment for the surgery.”

Avery had only collected a deposit from Adrian’s family. They had agreed to pay the rest after the surgery.

However, judging by their attitude, Avery had no plans to collect the rest of the payment. Back when she agreed to take on Adrian’s surgery, it was not wholly because of the money, but also for Shea.

After Avery sat in the room for a while, the patient on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

Avery shifted her gaze from her phone and met Adrian’s eyes.

 “How are you feeling, Adrian?” she asked gently as she put her phone down.
