On the other end of the line, a low man’s voice came through, "You need her help even for such a trivial family matter? How did you manage to pursue Tammy in the first play?"
When Jun heard Elliot's voice, he was so stunned he sweated profusely. "E-Elliot? A-Are you better?"
"Hmm. Don't bother Avery with such trivial matters. If you can't even coax Tammy properly, how are you going to be a good father in the future?"
Jun was speechless from Elliot's lecturing.
"Elliot, you are right. When are you returning? When you are back, I'll take Tammy over to your house for a meal."
"After I get discharged."
"When are you getting discharged?"
"I don't know." Elliot at that moment only just had the right to get out of bed. He has never heard Avery talk about getting discharged.
Also, although he could get down from the bed with the help of a walking stick, he could only move around in the ward.
A series of footsteps could be heard from the door outside.
A moment later, the door was opened. Avery brought a group of men in.
Edward, Nick, and Ted arrived.
Avery had asked him previously if he wanted to see them, but Elliot did not want to. He did not like people seeing him in a wretched state.
"Elliot, they are here to see you," Avery explained, "They came themselves. I can't just ask them to leave."
Elliot nodded and returned her phone to her.
For the past few days, Avery had given him her phone to watch videos and kill time. She could have just bought him a new phone, but she did not do so, because he was going to get discharged soon. Once he got discharged, they could return to Aryadelle.
When he returned to Aryadelle and bought a new phone, it would signify an end to his life in Ylore.
"Elliot, we were worried for you, so we agreed to come together. I cam here once, but the Goulds' bodyguard stopped me from seeing you, so I left." Edward walked over to the bed, held Elliot's arm, and carefully measured him up. "How could Paul do this to you? Do you want us to teach him a lesson?"
