"Why did your car get towed?" Elliot's brows furrowed slightly. "What
happened? Why didn't you call me?"
"It was a small matter." Avery picked up her glass and took a sip of water. "I
bumped into the brother of my patient in Bridgedale. Apart from my patient,
there's something strange about his family. I'm upset that they won't let my
patient contact me. when I saw his brother on the street earlier, I ran over to
talk to him."
Elliot was baffled after hearing her explanation. "Since your patient's family
doesn't want to let you contact him, then why won't you respect their wishes,
Avery? He's your patient, not your family. You can't get involved in their
personal matters."
"I knew you'd say that." Avery frowned. "This patient is different from the
others."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I know. He's got the same illness as Shea did. That's why you're paying extra
attention to him, right?" Elliot interjected. "Since his family was able to cough
up a huge sum of money to hire you, then that means they're definitely not an
average family. They'll naturally take care of him well."
"The weird thing is that they're not taking care of him at all. otherwise, I
wouldn't want to get involved in other people's business." Avery lowered her
gaze and said, "I know you still don't think that's got anything to do with me,
but I can't help but want to get involved."
Elliot's heart softened. "I'm not saying you're wrong, Avery. If they're really
abusing your patient, then go ahead and get involved! I'll back you up."
Avery quickly shook her head and said, "I'm a busybody, but I won't do anything beyond my own capability. Besides,
you are working on our wedding. You don't need to worry about small matters like this."
"Alright."
"I heard you had this illness when you were younger, too, and that you were cured by a miracle worker. Did you
ever go see that person again?" Avery brought up the question that was bothering her. "It would be a pity if you
weren't cured back then."
Elliot's expression turned puzzled. "Nobody ever told me about that. I know nothing about this miracle worker, so I
never knew how to find him."
"Oh, that's a shame." Avery glanced at the time, then said, "Let's go have lunch. I'm a little hungry."
"Alright. Tell me right away the next time your car gets towed. You don't have to go E<[ 1N6XY get it back yourself,"
Elliot said.
"There won't be a next time," Avery said, embarrassed. "I was too impulsive today. It was pretty dangerous."
"Good."
That evening, Avery got a call from Adrian.
"How are you, Adrian? I bumped into your brother today, but he refused to tell me how you were doing," Avery
asked anxiously.
"They've locked me up in the house and won't let me leave." Adrian's voice was feeble. "If I don't listen to them,
then they won't let me eat ... I get really hungry when I don't eat."
Something snapped in Avery. "How could that happen? How could they do this to you?!
Listen to them for now, Adrian. You have to eat! Otherwise, your body won't be able to take it! I'll think of

"You're a good person, Avery." Adrian chuckled lightly, then said contentedly, "I knewyou wouldn't abandon me."
Avery's eyes filled with tears.
She could not understand why Adrian was being mistreated like this.
"Why did Nathan spend a fortune to treat Adrian's illness just to abuse him?
what were they trying to get Adrian to do when they forced him to listen to
them?" thought Avery.
Avery could not sleep a wink that night.
She thought of a million possibilities to this problem.
She even thought of Elliot at one point.
She could not help but feel that there was something wrong with him, too.
The next morning, Elliot arrived at the starry River Villa.
Avery stared at him in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of a
brave idea!
