"I’ll go home at night." He did not want to end their relationship; he simply did not want to spend all day under her supervision as though he would not survive without her protection. It felt horrible, and he would rather die on the streets than live like this.
"Alright... As long as you are willing to come home. But no more drinking or getting drunk," Avery said. "I won't drink again as well."
"Go!" Elliot set the glass of milk down. "I want to rest."
Avery hesitated for a moment, before turning to leave.
Chad was surprised to see Avery coming out this quickly. "Avery, Mr. Foster..." "He said he wants to rest." She looked at Chad and said, "He's mad at me. I can't blame him because I did break our promise. Chad, keep an eye on him. He said he will come home at night, so please help send him back."
Chad nodded. "I don't know what happened between you two, but make sure you talk it out."
"Angela is dead, and it's over now." Avery did not want to discuss this any further. " I'll be going now."
"Alright."
After she was gone, Chad returned to the room. "Mr. Foster, Avery left."
"Why would Angela kill herself?" Elliot muttered dazedly. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to comprehend Angela's act.
"I am guessing that she wanted to follow Hough's footsteps?" Chad said.
"You are right, Mr. Foster, but why would she be in such a hurry to die, then? She didn't even enjoy her victory for a day before killing herself." The more they talked about it, the more Chad realized that there was more to the truth.
"This has something to do with either Dean Jennings or the Marshall's Award," Elliot said. "Find someone to keep an eye on both ends."
"Okay." Chad hesitated for a moment, before adding, "I don’t think Dean has much to do with this. He was so enraged by Angela’s death that he had been rushed to the hospital. If he wanted to kill her, he wouldn't have held the wedding, nor would he be this angry."
"Even if he didn't kill Angela, he must at least know something."
Dean slowly regained consciousness after being on IV infusion. He was furious when he came to and yelled, "Find Angela's daughter! Angela lied to me! She might be dead, but I can still make sure her reputation goes down the gutter!"
