Wanda was a prideful woman who despised Avery.
Being on her knees in front of Avery must be pure agony for her!
When the nurse entered the room moments later, she was shocked to see the two women kneeling in front of the bed.
"Take your lackey and get out of here!" Mike roared as he threw out the fruit basket they brought along with them.
The hospital room returned to its initial peace once Wanda and Faye were gone.
Once the nurse tended to Avery's IV drip, Mike held his phone and waved it in front of Avery.
"Chad said the two bodyguards that pushed you this morning are rippled down," Mike said as he grinned cheekily. "I'm not Elliot Foster's biggest fan, but I'm satisfied with his work this time."
"What do you mean by crippled?"
Mike covered his mouth and said, "Chad told me not to tell you... He's worried you'd be scared..."
Avery remained silent.
"Why did you think Wanda would come and apologize to you? She's obviously
terrified!" Mike teased. "I didn't expect you to use Elliot to scare her earlier."
Avery's cheeks flushed as she said, "Wasn't he the one who wanted to be a hero first?
Since he offered, it'd be a waste not to make use of it." "That makes sense," Mike said. "Just treat him like a little puppy! Play with him when you're happy, then ignore him when you're not."
Avery absentmindedly picked up her phone and looked at the time.
"I'm going to take a nap. Let's go home after I wake up."
"Okay! Get some sleep! I'm going out for a cigarette."
Mike lay Avery down on the bed, then walked out of the room.
The moment Wanda entered her car, she lifted her head and broke into uncontrollable tears.
Faye apprehensively handed her a napkin and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Tate. I dragged you into this."
Wanda shoved the napkin away and wiped her tears away with her hands.
