Tammy lay on the bed inside her room. She was hugging her pillow.
She took out her phone, found Avery's number, and called her.
Avery soon answered the call.
"Avery, | had an argument with Jun. | think getting back with him was a mistake," sobbed Tammy. "Why can men stay out drinking, but not women?" "Don't cry, Tammy. You two need to sit down and talk this out. There has to be a way to resolve this," said Avery, consoling her.

"I told him many times that | would be busy for a month or two, but after that, | will not be as busy. He said that he was fine with that, but today, he lost his temper, " said Tammy as she wiped away her tears. "He even dragged my mother into it. I couldn’t stand it and slapped him across the face." "Why would Jun say anything bad about Auntie? He's not that kind of person!" "I heard it with my own ears!" "What exactly did he say?" "|- | forgot. | was angry, and | didn't hear him clearly." Tammy choked on her voice and said, "Avery, what would you do if you were me? | feel so lost right now." "If Jun did say something bad about Auntie, then obviously you shouldn't have to put up with it, but my advice to you is to clarify what he said. He might not mean what you think he did." Tammy agreed in a hoarse voice and changed the subject. "Have you met Elliot?" "Yeah. He is severely injured and is currently unconscious." Avery was inside the hospital, looking after him. "He isn't at risk of dying, though, it just takes time for him to recover." "How could that happen? Did the Goulds do that? That Ruby chick is useless!" "Let's not talk about her." Avery glanced at Ruby, who was lying on the foldable bed.
During the entire time Elliot was in the hospital, Ruby had spent every night on the foldable bed next to him.
Avery had two choices: to either return to the hotel or lean against the table for a nap.
She did not want to head back to the hotel, fearing that Ruby would not let her return the next day, but she also did not want to sleep on the table.
At around ten, she began battling the urge to close her eyes. She glanced at Elliot, who remained unmoving on the bed. After thinking a little about the matter, she approached the bed =g%;TKS: carefully lay down next to him.
"Avery Tate! What are you doing?!" Ruby immediately crawled up from the foldable bed when she saw Avery getting into bed with Elliot.
"I'm going to sleep!" Avery said innocently. "You are keeping the foldable bed to yourself, so | have no choice but to squeeze in with him." Ruby's head felt numb. "What do you mean, I'm keeping the bed to myself? | sleep here every night! Get down! Careful! Don't touch his injuries!" "I can get off the bed, but you must give me the foldable bed." "You-" "Ruby, pregnant women shouldn't get angry so often. It's bad for the baby." Avery got out of the bed and walked toward Ruby. "Besides, it's bad for you to rest here. Aren't you scared of losing your baby?" "Don't try to curse me! My baby is going to be fine!" Avery ignored her and went to lie down on the foldable bed.
Seeing how she shamelessly occupied the bed, Ruby felt both furious and helpless.

She was not like Avery and could not possibly sleep on Elliot's bed.
After standing still for a while, she approached Elliot's bed. Finally, she left the room in a frustrated huff when Elliot showed no signs of waking up.
Avery opened her eyes at the sound of the door closing.
She had been quite sleepy, but she felt rather awake once Ruby left.
She got out of bed and walked to Elliot's bed. She held his bandaged hand and whispered, "Elliot, wake up already. Let me take you home."
