Avery finished tending to Elliot's wound, then said coldly, "Put your clothes on."
Elliot put on the t-shirt she gave him, then looked up at her and asked, "Can I ask my question now?"
"What is it?" Avery's expression and tone were icy. "Hayden doesn't like you. Don't touch him again. If something like this ever happens again, just give me a call."
Elliot's mind went blank.
He really did bring all of this onto himself.
He picked up his torn shirt, stood up and prepared to leave.
Avery suddenly felt anxious.
Her feet took an involuntary step forward as she said, "What did you want to ask me?"
Elliot turned to look at her, then said, "Do you think Shea needs to continue her treatment? I'm worried it would end up taking a toll on her health if we keep going."
"Isn't Zoe Sanford Shea's doctor?" The moment Avery mentioned Zoe's name, her reason began to crumble. "Since you went to her and even paid her an exorbitant medical fee, you should just listen to her advice."
Elliot did not expect his question to hit Avery right where it hurt.
"I won't bother you with Shea's sickness ever again, Avery," he said emotionlessly as his Adam's apple bobbed in his throat.
However, Avery saw what looked like a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"You should show some basic sincerity if you're asking a genuine question," Avery said as she met his gaze. "You better keep the truth from me forever! You didn't tell me when I wanted to know about it. By the time you decide to tell me, I would already not want to hear what you have to say."
Elliot tightly clenched his ripped shirt, then left in humiliation.
Avery no longer wanted to know about his relationship with Shea.
He was too foolish!
Back when he made his decision, he had ignorantly made one mistake after another.
He chose to hide the truth from Avery all because of his d*mned pride!
Now, however, his pride was worth absolutely nothing to her!
