After Ben left, Tammy took Avery’s hand and led her into Jun’s car.
“Jun, let’s go to my place.”
Jun made an OK gesture. In the rearview mirros, he saw Avery’s wet hair and indifferent little face. Although she did not know what had happened, he could tell that she was unhappy. The sour ending last night had caused both sides to suffer, and no one walked out unhurt.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the Lynch Mansion, Tammy led Avery out of the vehicle. At the same time, Tammy glanced at Jun, hinting at him to leave. Then, Jun wisely got into the car and drove away.
After Tammy brought Avery inside, she eased Avery’s nervousness by smiling and saying, “M y parents come back very late every day. Let me take you to my room! The bed in my room is big enough for us to sleep in!”
Avery glanced at the living room, then followed Tammy upstairs mechanically. This was her first time at Tammy’s house, and she only agreed to come because she did not want to go home and let her mother see her in a mess.
“Avery, you can wear my clothes! We’re about the same size, and you can wear anything of mine.” After Tarmy brought Avery into her room, she first opened her dressing room and let her choose clothes.
Avery looked at the dazzling array of clothing, bags, shoes, watches… In an instant, she calmed down a lot.
“I can’t immerse myself in pain.” She walked out of the closet absentmindedly.
Tammy followed her and asked, “Avery, what’s wrong?”
Avery shook her head. She must pull herself together, and she must provide a good life for herself and the two children in her belly. If she were depressed, she would not get anything but a crushing defeat.
Tammy guessed Avery’s mood from the pained expression on her face.
“Avery, you’ve done a great job! If I were you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to hold on,” Tammy held her hands and said frankly,
“Although I think you can live a better life with Elliot, it’s better to live alone if it’s so painful to be with him!”
“My pain is my own,” Avery murmured, “If I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t be suffering at all.”
Tammy led her toward the bathroom and replied, “Not many people can resist his charm. He’s outstanding! He’s just like a light, and it’s not your fault. Don’t overthink and take a shower first. Then, get a good night’s sleep.”
“Chelsea came to see me tonight.” Avery stood at the bathroom door, stopped, wordlessly struggled to speak, and finally asked,
“Is something wrong with Elliot?”
–
Tammy saw Avery’s bloodshot eyes, and she took a deep breath, saying, “Last night’s rainstorm was the heaviest in the past ten years, and the temperature had dropped to below ten degrees. Any normal person will definitely not be bedridden like him after a night’s hail. I guess it’s because he’s recovering from a serious illness, and his body is relatively weak.”
Avery did not return to Elliot’s mansion, nor did she visit the sick Elliot. This time, Avery was astonishingly cruel. Besides her, another person also had also treated Elliot ruthlessly.
Ben.
As Avery had never returned to Elliot’s mansion, nor did she show any concern for him as he lay in the hospital bed, Ben would come every day and give him daily updates on Avery’s daily activities. For example, today Avery had gone to Trust Capital and had a great morning with Charlie, or today they had lunch together.
It did not matter if the two of them had gone to an art exhibition or not, and it did not matter i f they really had lunch together.
What truly mattered was that Elliot was pissed off, as that was the only thing guaranteeing that he cooperated.
If Elliot was still sick, he could not take revenge.
Ben used his understanding of Elliot to make him live in misery every day. Eventually, Elliot’s condition began to improve under the control of medication. Although he still looked pale and weak, he was determined to get out. The reason for his desire to leave the hospital was that Ben had told him that Charlie was taking Avery to an AI technology event.
These days, Elliot thought about many things as he lay in bed. To be frank, his memory of Charlie was not that clear, but this illness made him recall the past.
Charlie was a refined speculator and egoist. He carefully calculated his every move, whether it was making friends or doing things, so as to maximize the benefits and reduce the harm that h e would experience. Additionally, he was good at disguise. He would be smiling even when facing an enemy, and just when they thought he was admitting defeat and lowered their guard against him, he would take the opportunity to stab them ruthlessly.
He and Elliot had drifted apart not only because they were incompatible, but they had also drifted apart because of their different investment ideas. Charlie would do anything for money, and he was good at wooing the powerful and turning in illegal wealth.
Even though Elliot would also do anything for profit, Elliot had his own lines, and there were some types of money that even he would not touch even if it were to be right in front of him.
Avery and Charlie were getting close. Sooner or later, she would be pulled into the abyss by Charlie.
“Elliot, the doctor said you have to stay in bed for at least a week before going out,” said Ben.” It’s cold outside today, and there’s a strong wind. You’ll definitely get sicker if you go out.”
The doctor nodded vigorously beside him.
Elliot went to the closet, pulled out a gray woolen coat, and put it on.
Ben shook his head at the doctor.
This meant Elliot would go out regardless of what anyone said.
Today’s AI technology exhibition was an exhibition for the upper class, and there were only fifty seats at the exhibition site.
