Chapter 1048
“Where’s my gift?” Elliot’s hoarse voice rang out.
His voice sounded soft, but it was penetrative. Those three words shocked Avery.
“Why did you lie to me?” Elliot looked at Avery’s stunned face coldly.
It was not as if he could not bear that she put him aside to go to the hospital to take care of Adrian, but it was more
about the condition that she was honest with him.
“I’m sorry, Elliot,” Avery took a deep breath. She tried to reach her hand out once again and grabbed his arm.
“Don’t stay under the rain. You’ll catch a cold.”
He pushed her hand away once more.
“Where’s that man?” Elliot’s tone was cold and frigid. Under the rain, his expressions seemed even more miserable.
“Why don’t you continue staying in the hospital to take care of him?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“He’s asleep.” Words seemed to get stuck in her throat. She explained, “He swallowed a whole bottle of
antihypertensive drugs. He almost died. If he wasn’t rescued in time he would have died.”
“It’s best if he died!” Elliot’s tone was harsh. “Even if he didn’t die now, I’ll still kill him!”
“Elliot!” Avery yelled as if she was being strangled. “I know you’re angry! It’s my fault! I should have called you
earlier so that you would not have to wait edfor me here! Let’s go in! I beg you!”
She grabbed his arm with both of her hands, trying to get him up from the chair, but his body was tense. He
refused to get up.
Helplessness and fear spread around her. She was afraid that if he stayed any longer under the rain, he would
become sick, but she also knew that he was extremely zafurious at that moment. He would never listen to her.
Under desperation, she cried out loud uncontrollably. He looked at her in misery, his heart constricted tightly.
90What were they preparing to do that night? It seemed like he was…going to propose?
He had fantasized many times that they would listen to the melodious sounds of music while having a delightful
dinner, thinking about the future.
He had prepared the proposal ring to be served to her during the fifth course. When she opened the cover the dish,
she would be surprised by the ring!
At that moment, all the surprises he prepared seemed excessive.
“Avery, tears won’t get you what you want.” Elliot got up from his chair and looked at her being drenched under the
rain. His tone was cold and lonely. “Because I’ve tried it be34fore. In the end, I got nothing.”
Then, he pushed her hand away and quickly vanished from her sight. After he left, Avery felt as if her entire world
was falling apart.
She knew that he would get mad, but she did not expect him to get so mad. She was only a few hours late. It was
not that she did not show up. Could it be because she was caring for Adrian at the hospital and he 53found it
unacceptable?
Avery slumped onto the chair Elliot was on a moment ago, trying to guess what he was feeling.
A moment later, something lit up in front of her!
Beautiful lights sparkled, changing into assorted shapes and colors like it was dancing in the air.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAvery looked at the lights in front of her in a daze. She suspected that she was hallucinating .
A server came over with an umbrella next to her. “Miss Tate, this is a light show that Mr. Foster prepared for you.
Mr. Foster has left, so please enjoy it alone!”
“A light show?” Avery asked glumly.
“Yes. Mr. Foster had also invited a famous pianist to perform. The pianist has been waiting for a long time. Do you
want to listen to the performance now?” The server said.
She looked up at the server. “Why?”
It was only a meal. Why did he invite someone to perform?
The server replied, “Miss Tate, I don’t know why you were late, but Mr. Foster put in a lot of effort on tonight’s date.
You shouldn’t have let him down.”
“I wasn’t late on purpose.” She retracted her gaze. Tears in her eyes blurred her sight of the dazzling lights. “I didn’t
know that he prepared so much for tonight’s date. He didn’t tell me.”
“Mr. Foster wanted it to be a surprise for you,” The server said, “Have you had your meal? Why don’t you go in to
have some food?”
