Mrs. Cooper hurried over to try and help Elliot up, but he was too heavy for her to carry on her own, so she ran downstairs to get the bodyguard to help her.
"Why did Mr. Foster pass out? Did he fall sick? Have you called an ambulance?" The bodyguard hurried upstairs.
Suddenly remembering that she was still on the phone, Mrs. Cooper glanced down at the screen on her phone and said, "Avery, Mr. Foster passed out! I need to call an ambulance first! I will call you back later!"
Mrs. Cooper hung up and immediately called the emergency line.
Shortly after, Elliot was rushed to the hospital.
Avery was not in Aryadelle so she couldn't do anything other than worry about him.
She called Wesley and asked him to go check on Elliot at the hospital, before calling Sebastian back.
"You all have crossed the line!" She trembled in rage. "Sebastian, if something happens to Elliot, I will kill you all! I mean it!"
"What happened?" Sebastian could sense from her tone that something went wrong.
"He passed out! He is now being sent to the hospital!"
"My dad doesn't want him dead, either. Avery, you don’t want Elliot to keep suffering, do you? My dad thought it through and so long as you pay him back the 2.1 billion you took from him, I can try to talk my dad out of hurting Elliot," Sebastian offered. "If you agree to this, I will talk to my dad now."
Avery had no other option and after a few thoughtful moments, she agreed to Sebastian's terms.
If paying Dean back put an end to the torture, it was money well spent; at least they wouldn't have to walk on thin ice from now on.
After the call, Sebastian returned to the laboratory and strode toward his father.
