“When Emilio sent you a message, I saw the news before you.” Elyette picked up the milk cup and took a sip of milk, “I have been waiting until you confess to me, but you didn’t want to tell me at all.”
Averie: “Elyette, I…”
“No need to explain. Margaret is dead, no one can threaten you now.” Elyette seemed to get Relief, “I don’t have to rush to die.”
Averie felt sad when she heard his words.
“Chad said you drank a bottle of wine last night, and I think you really don’t want to live.” Averie could smell the alcohol on him now, but it could also be from her own, “I drank yesterday, It’s to gather the courage to tell you about me and Emilio.”
“Don’t mention it again.” Elyette didn’t want to hear anything related to Emilio.
“Well. Are you full?” Averie said, “come home with me!”
“Averie, I don’t want to live like a puppet anymore. I can do whatever I want. Don’t worry about me.” Elyette looked at her gloomily, and his tone was cold, “Aren’t you very busy? Go and do your business.”
“What do you mean?” Averie felt as if Elyette was about to cut himself off.
“I’ll go home at night.” Elyette didn’t want to make a clean break with her, he just didn’t want to stay under her nose 24 hours a day, as if she had to protect him.
He felt so bad. He would rather die on the street than live like this again.
“Okay…as long as you’re still willing to go home.” Averie said, “you won’t drink anymore.”
“You go!” Elyette Put down the milk glass in his hand, and said, “I want to rest.”
Averie was startled, then got up and left.
Chad was very surprised to see Averie coming out so quickly: “Averie, my boss…”
“Elyette said he wanted to rest.” Averie looked at Chad and exhorted, “He gave birth to me now. Annoyed, it is true that I broke my promise to him at that time. So Chad, please take good care of him next. He said he would go home every night, please send him back to me every night.”
Chad nodded: “Although I didn’t know what happened between the two of you, it’s good to make it clear.”
“Margaret is dead, everything is over.” Averie didn’t want to mention it again, so she said, “I’ll go first.”
Chad: “Okay.”
After Averie left, Chad returned to the room.
Chad: “Boss, Averie is left.”
“Why did Margaret die?” Elyette’s thin lips parted lightly, and he made a dull sound.
No matter how Elyette deduced it, he couldn’t understand Margaret’s behavior.
Chad: “Looking at Margaret’s appearance, she should have followed James Hough.”
Elyette shook his head: “Margaret and James Hough have never really been together. Even if Margaret loves James Hough deeply and wants to die, why didn’t she die when James Hough died? Does she die after the award? In her heart, the March Medical Award is more important than James Hough.”
“What Margaret is thinking, outsiders can’t guess. I think her psychology may have been twisted long ago, whether it was for James Hough or for the March Medical Award. She should be a very extreme person.” Chad analyzed.
Elyette: “If you won the award you dreamed of, would you die immediately?”
Chad: “I won’t. I don’t think most people won’t. It’s hard to get the honor you’ve always dreamed of, and thousands of people will live in the future. Admiration, and inexhaustible glory and wealth, who would be willing to die!”
“Margaret wanted to win this award, wasn’t it for the admiration of all people? If she really does it for the benefit of mankind, she won’t care whether she takes award or not.” Elyette thinks Margaret is not as complicated as Chad thought.
Margaret could live with Travis for money, and promised to marry Travis, which just showed that Margaret was a very tacky person.
Such a person, if not for any accident, would never die when he could be at ease and enjoyment.
Chad: “Boss, what you said makes sense. But why did Margaret die so quickly? She didn’t enjoy a day, she died in a hurry.”
“This matter is either related to Travis or the March Medical Award.” Elyette gave his own judgment, “Send someone to watch both sides.”
“Okay.” Chad hesitated for a while, then said, “I-I don’t think this has much to do with Travis. Because Travis was hospitalized with anger after knowing Margaret’s death. If someone killed him, he wouldn’t announce the marriage news, and he would be so angry.”
Elyette: “Even if Margaret was killed. It wasn’t Travis who killed her, Travis definitely knew some inside stories.”
…
In the hospital.
Travis slowly woke up after losing two bottles of medicine.
After waking up, Travis was furious: “Emilio, find Margaret’s adopted daughter! Margaret deceived me! Although she is dead, I can still discredit her!”
Emilio looked at the beating flesh on his father’s face and asked tentatively: “Dad, did Aunt Gomez really say anything to you before this?”
“No! If she has said anything to me, what do you think? Am I still going to continue to hold the wedding banquet? I can’t afford to lose this old face!” Travis’s blood pressure, which had finally dropped, was about to rise again.
“Dad, don’t get excited. Margaret is dead, you must take care of your health.” Emilio advised, “You can rest assured in the hospital to recuperate. I have already invited people to entertain you at the wedding venue. The birthday banquet is over.”
“Emilio, are you also watching my jokes?” Travis’s emotions were forcibly suppressed.
Travis was strong all his life, and now, at this time, he knows better than anyone how embarrassed he is.
He didn’t want people to see his embarrassed appearance. But after all, he was old, and when he got sick, he couldn’t be strong even if he tried to be brave.
Emilio: “Dad, how could I see your jokes? The Jones family and I are both proud and humiliated. My wish is the same as yours, which is to make the Jones family stronger.”
“Ha ha ha! Margaret speaks nicely. One set, I coaxed around.” Travis was heartbroken and felt that he could no longer trust anyone.
“Dad, don’t think so much. I will send someone to get Emmy back. Anyway, Margaret owes you an explanation. I won’t sit back and let you suffer such a humiliation.” Emilio said righteously, “You take good care of your illness, and I won’t disturb you for now.”
After Emilio left, Travis called his confidant to his side.
“Margaret bought a house for Emmy before her death. You can find Emmy by checking the recent house transaction records!” Travis explained, “It’s not a pity that Margaret died, but the research results of the resurrection technique must be seized. Get it! As long as I have this thing, I can control Elyette and Averie. Besides, I can make countless money! Even without Elyette and Averie, I can become one of the best rich man in the world.”
“Yes! I’ll investigate now!” The confidant immediately left the ward after taking orders.
Travis sighed, lay flat on the hospital bed, looked at the ceiling, and murmured: “Margaret, do you think that without you, I can’t show great ambitions? You underestimate me too much.”
……
Averie went to the hospital where Margaret’s body was kept.
She originally just wanted to take a look at Margaret, but when she arrived at the hospital, she learned from the medical staff that Margaret’s body was not carried away.
It was not that no one was willing to transport Margaret’s body away. Many of Margaret’s friends were willing to deal with Margaret’s funeral. After all, Margaret was the winner of the March Medical Award. It was just that Travis sent people to guard the hospital. Except for Margaret’s daughter Emmy, no one else was allowed to touch Margaret’s body.
Travis wanted to use Margaret’s body to lead Emmy out.
“Ms. Tate, do you know the contact information of Ms. Gomez’s daughter?” The nurse asked Averie, “Her body has been stored in the hospital, and she will not be able to rest in peace.”
Averie: “I’m looking for her daughter too.”
“Oh! Actually. In addition to Ms. Gomez’s body, there are also Ms. Gomez’s relics that need to be taken away by her family. The trophy of the March Medical Award is also in our hospital.” The nurse continued, “It is impossible for Ms. Gomez’s daughter not to see this sensational news, right? She hasn’t come to the hospital yet.”
Averie: “Maybe Margaret has already explained to her daughter.”
The nurse: “Maybe! I really don’t understand why Ms. Gomez chose to end her life like this. If I were her, I would definitely want to live longer.”
Arriving at the mortuary, a cold breath came to her face.
The nurse walked in front and pushed Margaret’s body out for Averie to see.
“Because the trophy is more important, our hospital helped her keep it. She died by injecting poison. Once this poison is injected into the body, it can make people die immediately. If it wasn’t for the determination to die, it would not be injected at all. “The nurse explained, “I heard that the black dress on her is her wedding dress today. It’s a pity, she was supposed to be the bride today.”
Averie looked at Margaret’s pale face, the corners of her mouth. Slightly upward, that smile seems to be laughing at the stupid people who are toyed with and applauded by her.
When Averie came out of the hospital, the cloudy sky seemed to collapse.
After Averie got in the car, Ali didn’t ask her where she was going, and drove the car home directly.
Ali: “Boss, you look so bad, you should rest at home!”
Averie reached out and touched her cheek, and murmured, “Everything is too sudden, completely beyond my imagination. I feel so strange, but I can’t tell what’s so strange about it.”
“It’s very strange. I’ve been reading the news today, and the people who eat melons on the Internet are crazy.” Ali glanced at the time, “Boss, go take a nap. Didn’t you say Elyette would go home at night? When he comes back at night, the two of you must have a good talk. How can you have the energy to coax him if you don’t sleep well?”
“Ali, you think I’m wrong?” Averie asked.
“Boss, you’re right. Elyette is also right. What’s wrong is creating people to trick people.” Ali comforted her, “I know I can’t blame you, and Elyette certainly won’t blame you either.”
Averie wanted to laugh after being persuaded by Ali.
