While drinking water, she looked at her phone.
Last night, she had sent a message to the Marshall's Award committee leader. She told him about Elliot, hoping they could quickly give the public an explanation.
She had not received a reply when she had left the house. She had not received a reply until later that morning.
She had sent them the message the day before, making sure it was daytime in Bridgedale when she sent it. Clearly, they were trying to avoid this.
Avery's expression turned stern. She placed her thermos on the table and sent another message to him. "If you don't give me a reply by today, I will expose this absurd lie to the public!"
About five minutes later, Avery's phone rang.
She immediately got up from her chair and said to Elliot, "I'm going to take this call."
Elliot nodded and watched her walk out of the ward.
Avery took her phone and left the ward. She headed to the corridor nearby. She answered the call, and she heard the voice of the Marshall's Award committee leader.
