Gary visited Ruby after he had had breakfast.
She looked refreshed that day.
She felt everything was worth it because Elliot had been by her side.
"Dad, I want to go home to recuperate," Ruby said cutely, "I don't want Elliot to suffer with me in the hospital."
"Okay. I’ll send the paramedics home to take care of you."
"Thanks, dad." Ruby smiled, but there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, "Dad, where’s brother? Did you punish him?" "Shouldn't I? You just married Elliot and he's already wanted to kill Elliot..." "Brother was being impulsive. Dad, you could talk to him but please don't punish him. I don't want him and Elliot to become enemies. It'll be heartbreaking if that happens," Ruby begged.
"My silly daughter! Don't worry about that!" said Gary while dropping a hint to Elliot with a strange look.
After both of them had come out of the ward, Gary patted Elliot's shoulder.
"I meted out punishment to you last night because I was worried you might repeat the same mistake! You still haven’t recovered anything you lost in Aryadelle! I don't want you to get played by Avery twice.
"I see," Elliot was calmer than Gary as if nothing had happened last night, "It's time for the negotiation with Edward and Ted.
Are you sure you want to come with me?"
"You mean you want to go alone?" Gary hesitated, "I was thinking about it last night too. If I go, I'm afraid they won't be able to calm down and talk it out."
"Let me try first. If I fail, you'll take over."
"Okay. I'll send a few more bodyguards to protect you later. No matter how the negotiation ends, always put your safety before everything."
"I will."
"Did you not sleep last night?" Gary asked as he noticed Elliot's red eyes, "You should get some rest. I'll send Ruby back in the afternoon."
"Alright."
In the capital airport of Aryadelle, Hayden was wearing a peaked cap and carrying his school bag.
He had been paying attention to the news in Ylore, :h&
