"You don't have to return it to me so anxiously." Avery took a ticket to the music festival out of her bag. "Tomorrow night, I'm going to this music festival. By then, there will be a lot of people there. If your husband can go over there, this money will be fee for the information I get."
"Uh…" Mrs. Raven looked at the bank card and at the ticket. She said honestly, "Miss Tate, even if my husband could help you a little bit, it's not worth that much."
"It is to me. As long as I have a little bit of useful information, it could save Elliot's life. Elliot is very important to me. He is the father of my children. He will be my husband too. Which is why these seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars is not much."
Mrs. Raven was moved by her words, as well as by the amount of money. Thus, she no longer hesitated and accepted the money and ticket.
"Miss Tate, don't worry. When my husband returns, I will persuade him to help you. If he can't see you tomorrow. I'll return this card to you," Mrs. Raven promised. "But don't worry, my husband listens to me. As long as you can guarantee that Dean's men won't know about this, there should be no problem."
"Don't worry. I will bring my bodyguards tomorrow. When there is a crowd, we will divert their attention."
"Okay."
In the evening, when Oliver returned home, Mrs. Raven immediately pulled him into the bedroom.
"Oliver, Avery Tate came to our house today to look for me." Mrs. Raven recounted the incident that afternoon to her husband. "Avery is a good person. We have to help her. Tell her everything you know! Tomorrow, at the music festival, she will try to find a way to look for you. Dean's men won't find out about this."
Oliver looked at his wife's face and measured her up close. "Honey, did she give you something good?"
"Uh…"
"Give me the money." Oliver reached his hand out. His attitude was firm. "This is not how we earn money. Since she said that she could do it without letting Dean's men notice, I'll go and meet her."
"Okay, I don't care too much about the money. I was quite sad when Nadia said that about me yesterday. If you were to look at me that way too, I would be sad."
"Honey, I know that you're doing this for our family. I don't judge you that way." Oliver accepted the card from his wife. "We should earn the money that we can earn and not take money that we don't deserve."
In the hospital in Aryadelle, Elliot's surgery was over. After the surgery, Elliot was immediately sent to the ICU. He did not die immediately after the surgery. The doctor and Wesley were relieved.
They could only hope for a miracle next! If not, they did not know how they were going to explain this to Avery.
