"I'm torturing her?" Elliot murmured. He suddenly raised his voice. He said coldly," Wesley, don't you think you're shameless?"
"I'm shameless. All of it is my fault, but please don't use your narrow thinking to view Avery." Wesley's tone was calm, but he was honest. "Avery came to look for me yesterday. One is to look for the notes Professor Hough left behind when he was still alive. Two, to show me her treatment proposal so I can give her my suggestions. Although my medical skills are not as great as hers, theory-wise, I can still make do."
Elliot's breathing turned heavy.
"Avery took on a surgery," Wesley continued, "If you think that she's doing this just for the money, you're too shallow. If you love her, can you learn how to respect her!"
Wesley rarely raised his voice at others. He was well-mannered and knew how to control himself. However, at Elliot, he could no longer remain calm.
After a short moment of silence, Elliot retorted, "Your so-called respect is just giving in without any limits! If I didn’t love a woman, I could do that to her too! I could just not care about her!"
Wesley said, "You grab a handful of sand. The tighter you grab it, the faster it flows out of your hand. You can never tie Avery. She does not belong to you alone."
Elliot suddenly yelled in rage, "She is mine!"
"I do not want to fight with you on this!" Wesley could not defeat him, so he changed the subject. "You have no right to stop Shea from interacting with whoever. She is no longer the idiot that you could control. Please respect her and pass her phone back to her!"
Elliot hung up.
Wesley placed his phone down and held the driving wheel tightly. He tried to collect his thoughts.
Elliot had a stubborn personality. He had a strong desire for control, whether it was Avery or Shea, it was the same case.
However, whether it was Shea or Avery, they still deeply loved this man. Of course, Shea's love and Avery's love were different. Shea's love was the purest form.
Soon after, Wesley's phone rang again.
