Chapter 646

Chapter 646 She thought she was dreaming, because she could see the light surrounding his body. She stepped
towards him and he turned around abruptly; she saw his brooding eyes and sensed the warmth
radiating off his body and it was then that she finally sobered and realized that it was not a dream.
“Why did you get out of bed?” He held her by the arm and asked, “did I wake you?” She shook her
head.
“I slept too long last night and feel dizzy whenever I am asleep for too long.”
“Why don’t we go down for a walk,then?”
Elliot had asked the doctor and the doctor told him that there was nothing wrong with the baby. The
main issue was that Avery was emotionally unstable, which led to hyperventilation and increased heart
rate. Once she calmed herself and rested, Avery would recover; but if she failed to do so, it would
affect the child.
novelbinAvery glanced outside the window and saw how sunny it was outside, so she nodded and stepped out
of the room with Elliot.
“Avery, the trouble your company is facing is no big deal.” As they walked out of the hospital, Elliot
hesitated and said, “you can’t get everything you want in life, whether it’s in daily life or work One can
only grow when there’s adversity.”
She gazed up at him. “Are you trying to comfort me?”
“You need to strengthen your mental tolerance.” Seeing that Avery was energetic enough, he cut to the
chase and said, “So what if someone took your core technology and earned the money that belongs to
you? It’s just a financial loss. Health should always be your top priority for as long as you are alive.”Avery nodded. “So, you drink and smoke when you are ill because you know that health is the top
priority in life. If only you had no clue of how important health is, you would have probably just drowned
yourself in a whiskey barrel!”
“…” Elliot realized that he had worried too much and Avery didn’t need comforting after all.
“Haha!” Seeing that he was rendered speechless, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Look at how red your eyes are. Did you even sleep? If you need to get an electrocardiogram, maybe I
can give my room to you.”
“I was worried that you might be upset, so I couldn’t sleep,” he explained, “but judging from the way you
are right now, I guess you are stronger than I thought you were.”
“I wasn’t admitted to hospital last night because I was in despair. Shaun was sobbing so much when he
called me that I felt like the company was going to crumble into nothing. Losing the company isn’t that
big a deal to me, personally; but when I thought of the possibility of those employees that I hired going
unemployed… What if they can’t find a new job afterward?”
She was losing sleep over this. Elliot studied the concern in her eyes.
“It won’t get that bad. Technology industries depend mostly on core technologies, but even if yours is
stolen, you can upgrade on the foundation of what you had.”
She nodded and asked, “how did you catch the traitors?”
“Torture.”
“Oh.” She guessed so.
“Do you think that I’m cruel?”Elliot wanted to explain to her that one simply had to be crueler than the people that harmed them, or
the others would only bully them.
If there was no severe punishment in accordance with what had happened to Tate Industries, there
would always be employees who would dare to betray the company for profits or out of fear; what
happened the night before was a warning to all employees that worked there.
“You are cruel,” she said and his heart sank at the words.
“Not only are you cruel to others, but yourself as well. Your body can’t take it any longer if you won’t
sleep.” Elliot froze.
“Go back and sleep.” She held his hand and looked at him. “I’m okay now and I should be discharged
tomorrow.” He held back her hand. “Then let me walk you back to your room.”
“I want some fresh air down here. The bodyguards are with me, so I’ll be just fine.” She glanced at the
bodyguards that were following them closely from a distance. Once Elliot left, she turned on her phone.
