Chapter 1047

Upon her words, Adrian let her go, but he looked at her with tears falling down his face.

Avery saw him in that state and she did not dare to leave. She went over to grab her bag. She found her
phone and wanted to make a call to Elliot.

She pressed the button, but her screen was black. She did not know when her phone battery ran out.

“Please lend me your phone,” Avery said to the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately unlocked his
phone and passed it to her. She keyed in Elliot’s phone number and dialed.

She was quickly thinking of ways to explain to him why she could not make it for the date. She was afraid
it was not possible to lie to him anymore. She could only come clean.

The call was connected but no one picked up. After the system automatically disconnected the call, she
returned the phone to the bodyguard.

“Can you help me get a charger from the nurses? My phone ran out of battery,” Avery said to the
bodyguard.

“I’ll go ask and see.” The bodyguard left.

Once the bodyguard left, Avery looked at Adrian. “I’m not leaving yet. If you don’t feel that nauseated
anymore, close your eyes and rest. Only with you getting better can I take you away.

Adrian closed his eyes upon Avery’s words.

A moment later, the bodyguard entered with a charger. Avery connected her phone to the charger and
turned it on. When she saw missed calls from Elliot, she wanted to return the calls, but she was afraid
that she would disturb Adrian’s rest.



She had to wait for Adrian to fall asleep before she could leave. She sent a message to Elliot, [ I’ll come
to look zafor you in a while.]

Once Adrian was asleep, she would immediately go to look for him.

Outside, a heavy rain pitter-pattered on the window, making loud sounds. Avery did not hate the rain.
Most the time, she liked listening to the rain. It calmed her down.

However, at that moment, listening to the rain, her mind was a mess. Elliot did not reply to her message
or her call. He must be angry.

If she was in his shoes, she might not be as forgiving as him too because they had agreed on that date a
long time ago. Thus, when she saw him later, no matter how bad his temper was,

she was going to bear it.

About 40 minutes later, Adrian’s breathing became even. He was sleeping soundly. Avery said
something to the bodyguard and left!

The rain outside had not stopped, but it was much lighter than an hour ago.

She came out of the hospital into the rain.

At nine at night, she rushed to the South Devotion Plaza. She was at F1. She saw Elliot on the balcony
on the second floor.

She instantly understood why Elliot did not reply to her message or calls, because he was sitting in the
rain, getting drenched.

“Miss Tate, you’re finally here. Mr. Foster has waited for you for the entire night. Since the rain started, he
has been sitting there until now.” The server had hints of grumbling in his tone. “Mr. Foster has been



waiting for you. He hasn’t had any food yet!”

Perhaps Elliot heard the server’s voice, he slowly turned around.

Seeing how wretched he looked in the rain, Avery was so overwhelmed she could not breathe. She
walked over to him. Soon, she was in front of him. She could not control her emotions. She reached out
and grabbed his arm.

“Elliot, I’m sorry I’m late. Please don’t stay in the rain, go in!” She tried hard to get him up, but Elliot
pushed her away instead.
