The bodyguard was in no mood to eat. Their relationship had been strained recently, and Elliot was so sick and weak. Avery could easily kill him in the room! Thinking of this, the bodyguard could not care less anymore and just opened the bedroom door.
However, he was greeted with a surprising scene.
Elliot was lying naked on the bed with his eyes closed, motionless… ”
Avery stood by the bed holding a quilt. She probably did not expect someone to push the door open, so she looked rather surprised.
“What did you do to Mr. Foster?!” The bodyguard growled, strode to the bed, and reached out his finger to see if Elliot was still breathing.
Avery was impressed by the bodyguard’s imagination. “He’s not dead but asleep.”
The bodyguard retracted his hand in embarrassment and glanced at Elliot’s body again. “Why did you take off his clothes! Why are you such a sl*t!”
“Don’t slander me! He took it off himself.” Avery glared at the bodyguard, adding, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask him when he wakes up!”
The bodyguard gasped “Oh,” and glanced at Avery. She was wearing a summer nightdress, and her exposed skin gave a glimpse of what had just happened.
“I’m going out! Take good care of him!” He strode out after saying his piece.
Avery’s head was heavy with anger. She sat down on the edge of the bed and glanced sideways at Elliot.
Elliot slept soundly though he sweated. His temperature was normal, and as Avery was exhausted, she lay down beside him and fell into a deep slumber.
Avery woke up at three o’clock in the afternoon, and she felt a pang of hunger. She got out of bed, changed her clothes, and came out of the room, just to find the bodyguard and the driver sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. As for Laura, she was sitting in the kitchen, fiddling with her phone.
The scene appeared calm… however, she was conflicted about how they seemed to be treating her house as their own.
“Avery, are you hungry?” Laura placed down her phone and brought out the leftover food.
Avery walked to the living room and said to the driver, “Your boss should be waking up soon. G o back and get a set of clean clothes.”
The driver immediately stood. “Okay.”
After the driver left, Avery turned off the TV and said to the bodyguard, “My mom has a migraine, and she can’t stand loud noises. If you’re staying here, just keep quiet.”
The bodyguard dared not object. After all, his boss was still in her bed, and he did not know when he would wake up. What if he slept until late at night?
The bodyguard’s fear came to pass. It was six o’clock and the sky was rapidly darkening, but Elliot showed no signs of waking up.
Laura spoke to Avery, “Avery, I’ll stay at the hotel tonight.”
Of course, Avery disagreed, “Mom, I’ll just wake him up.”
The bodyguard interrupted, “He’s a patient! He needs to rest! Don’t wake him up!”
Avery glared at the bodyguard. “This is my home!”
The bodyguard said to Laura, “Madam Laura, I’ll pay for the hotel room!”
After that, he took out his wallet, took a few hundred dollars, and handed them to Laura.
“Madam Laura, take it!” The bodyguard’s voice was rough, and he sounded angry.
Laura was a little scared of him.
Avery chimed in, “Mom, take it!”
They should just take the money!
Laura took the money, but she felt a little uneasy. “Avery, i’ll go and find a hotel.”
Avery suggested, “Mom, don’t go yet. It’s still early, and he should wake up later.”
The bodyguard offered, “Madam Laura, I’ll take you to the hotel. Mr. Elliot won’t necessarily g o back when he wakes up, and it’s already so late.”
The bodyguard was a prophet! As soon as he took Laura away, Elliot woke up. Avery reached out to check his temperature.
It was normal.
“You’ve slept all afternoon, and it’s getting dark now. Get up and go home quickly!” Avery took the fresh set of clothes the driver had brought in the afternoon to him.
Elliot surveyed the room with his bloodshot eyes.
“Get up! This is the only bed in our house!” Avery urged.
Hearing this, Elliot said hoarsely, “I’m dizzy-”
Avery said, “Stop pretending! I touched your forehead just now, and your temperature is normal!”
Elliot started to cough. It was so bad that Avery thought that he might cough out his insides. Avery pursed her lips and did not say anything. Even though he no longer had a fever, it did not mean he had fully recovered. Then, Avery walked out of the room and asked the driver for help.
“Elliot’s awake, but he said he can’t get up—”
The driver said, “If he can’t get up, let him continue to sleep! I’ll go back and get his medicine.
After saying that, the driver left. Avery rubbed her temples. Did she really have no choice but to let him stay overnight?
An hour later, the driver arrived with all of Elliot’s necessities. He had even brought a sumptuous dinner. Mrs.
Cooper used lunch boxes and thermal insulation containers to pack dinners for at least three people.
“Miss Tate, this is Mr. Elliot’s medicine. Thank you for your hard work tonight!” The driver carefully handed the medicine to Avery and then got off work.
Avery sat on the sofa, looking at Elliot’s things on the table, lost in thought Was she too soft-hearted?! She should have driven him away by noon! That way, it would not be so troublesome!
Suddenly, a coughing sound came from the bedroom. Avery sighed, took Elliot’s medicine, and pushed the bedroom door open.
It was just the two of them at home now, so she left the door open to ventilate the room.
Elliot had showered and changed into clean clothes. However, the bed was a mess.
“Do you have any hot water?” Elliot was a little thirsty.
Avery put the medicine on the bedside table and went out to get him warm water. Elliot followed her all the way to the kitchen.
“Where’s your mom?” He asked.
“Thanks to you, she’s staying at the hotel tonight.” Avery handed him the water glass. “Are you hungry? The driver brought you dinner. You should eat some!”
He did not eat at noon and slept until now, so he must be hungry.
“I’ll just have some soup.” He had no appetite.
Avery went to the coffee table in the living room and brought dinner over. There was a bowl of soup in it.
