A nurse passed by, saw that Jed needed help, and immediately pushed a wheelchair towards him.
Avery moved Jed to the emergency room.
In the emergency room, Jed slowly came to his senses.
His chest still hurt, but he felt uncomfortable about the fact that Avery was in love with a man as violent as Elliot.
"Avery, if he had hit me harder, I would not be able to go back to Bridgedale...Aren’t you afraid that he might go crazy and kill you one day?" He felt apprehensive about Avery's fate.
Elliot no longer remembered Avery, and yet Avery insisted on saving him.
"I'm sorry, Jed! Elliot thought someone was attacking him. That's why he hit you so hard. Next time you see him, you can greet him head-on." Avery explained.
"Will there be a next time? I don't want to see him again." Jed looked as if he were about to cry, "I think my ribs may be broken, and I might have to be hospitalized.
As expected, a chest X-ray showed a mild fracture on the ribs. Although it wasn't severe, Jed had to rest for a week.
In Aryadelle.
Today was Layla's day off, and Eric sent her back to Starry River Villa.
When Layla entered the door, Mrs. Cooper told her that Elliot was alive.
"Henry's mentioned that to me before!" Layla wanted to squeeze out a smile, but couldn't. "He also told me that dad has a new wife."
Mrs. Cooper knew about this, but she felt that there must have been a misunderstanding in this matter. She didn't dare to speak on behalf of Elliot though.
After all, this was outrageous.
"Hello, Layla, I'm your aunt, just call me Lilith." Lilith looked at Layla's pretty little face
"Layla, don't think of it that way! My mom died when I was a child, and my father and brother ignored me." Lilith comforted her," So I became an awful person. But you're different, your brother loves you very much, and so do a lot of other people around you. You live a much happier life than me!"
"Aunt Lilith, my mother said your dad was a huge villain."
"That villain is dead." Lilith sat beside her," Even if your father made a mistake by marrying again, he is still better than my father."
Hearing that, Layla suddenly felt less depressed.
"Of course, if your father does marry again, you must never forgive him," Lilith said.
"I won't forgive him! I heard that Mr.
Schaffer made you heartbroken, so don't forgive him!"
