Elliot's face darkened terribly because of Avery's silent resistance!
Elliot indeed could force her mouth open and feed her spoon after spoon, but he was not going to do so!
Since she was refusing food, let her starve to death then!
He looked away and stormed out of the room!
After he left, she relaxed a little. Suddenly, a car honk came from outside the window.
Avery pricked her ears and listened to the sounds outside the window. Many cars pulled up in front of the mansion.
A moment later, a cacophony of sounds came from downstairs. Why were there so many people here so late at night?
Why were they here at such a remote place?
Elliot had said that this was one of his holiday villas. Did he invite them there?
His mother had just passed, but not only was he not with her, but he was in a remote forest villa hosting a party?!
Just when she planned to get out of bed to head over to the window to have a look, the room door swung open.
The doctor entered with his case of medicine.
"Miss Tate, I hear you're refusing food. Mr. Foster got me to come here to inject you with some vitamins," the doctor said with a sigh. "Why don't you have some food? Don't abuse your body. Although you have suffered quite a lot today, I can see that Mr. Foster still has feelings for you..."
"Ha! Feelings!" she thought.
Just because he did not kill her with his bare hands, that meant that he had feelings for her?
The doctor placed the bottle on the rack and pushed the needle into Avery. He stood by the side, guarding against any sudden movements.
Avery understood what he was doing.
Thus, she said, "It's late. Go and rest! I won't pull it out."
"Are you sure you won't pull it out? If you do so again, Mr. Foster will blame it on me."
"I won't."
Avery heard the sounds below getting clearer and clearer! Even if it was not a party, it was a huge gathering.
As the host, Elliot must be greeting the guest downstairs. This was her chance.
