"We're friends," Wesley answered.

"Professor Hough had plenty of female students.

You're not this close to Zoe Sanford, are you?" Elliot said mockingly. "Do you have feelings for Avery?"

Wesley felt a strong sense of hostility from him.

"Isn't Avery allowed to start a brand new relationship? " Wesley asked with a gentle smile. "Mr. Foster,

has Avery ever said anything about your relationship with Miss Sanford?"

Elliot's eyes filled with a frosty chill as he said, "That's one thing I find strange. When I asked you to

help me find the student that the professor mentioned before he died, you gave me a list of names.

Why didn't you just tell me that it was Zoe? She said she knew you. You probably know her, too, right?"

Wesley was surprised to find that Elliot was not as clueless as he had thought.

"Of course, I know her. However, it's been many years since she graduated, so I can't comment on her

skills now. Which is why I gave you the list for you to find out for yourself."

Elliot was not fooled by his answer.

"Didn't the professor ever mention her to you?

Professor Hough did not dare operate on Shea, but he said he had a student who could. That means

that the professor greatly respected that student... It's impossible that he never mentioned someone

that incredible to you."

Wesley was rendered speechless by Elliot's questions.

In a panic, he picked up his glass of water and took a sip.

"I think you're keeping this from me on purpose, Mr. Brook," Elliot said as he saw the guilt in Wesley's

eyes. "Are you lying to me for Avery's sake?"

"This has nothing to do with Avery," Wesley explained. "Professor Hough didn't always tell me

everything. He never said a word to me about your case, so I knew nothing about it. I'm a cautious

person. Even if I knew how great Miss Sanford was, I wouldn't dare tell you that she was exactly who

you were looking for." i

Elliot stared at Wesley in silence.

To gain credibility, Wesley had no choice but to reveal his feelings.

"Even if I have feelings for Avery, I wouldn't tell her, because I know that she only sees me as an older

brother."

The coldness in Elliot's eyes instantly vanished. 1

"It's late. You should go. She'll get in touch with you once she wakes up," Elliot said as he chased his Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

guest out.

Once Wesley was gone, Elliot made his way over to the master bedroom.

The room door was open, and Shea was standing by the bed with her eyes fixed on Avery.

Elliot walked over to Shea's side and saw the innocence and curiosity in her eyes.

"Do you like her, Shea?" he asked in a low voice.

Shea instinctively avoided strangers.

She was like that with Zoe, too.

However, she had voluntarily come to see Avery herself.

"Yes, I do!"

The memory of how Avery had gently nursed her back to health back when she had a fever filled

Shea's heart with warmth.

"Why do you like her?" Elliot asked, then glanced at Avery and added, "Is it because she's pretty?"

"She's much prettier than Dr. Sanford," Shea said as she reached out to hold Elliot's hand and looked

earnestly at him. "Don't you think so?"

"You're right," Elliot said with a bitter laugh.

"Why aren't you with Avery?" Shea mumbled as if Elliot was an idiot.

Even she knew that Avery was prettier than Zoe, so how could he not realize it?

The question made Elliot's heart ache.

Shea had made great progress since the last surgery.

He believed that she would be able to live a normal life as long as they continued her treatment.

This was the reason why he could not break up with Zoe before they found a doctor who could

continue to treat Shea's illness.

"That's between me and Avery, Shea. All you need to do is be happy," Elliot said as he gently caressed

Shea's hair and buried the bitterness in his heart.

"Are you happy, Big Brother?" Shea asked.

She looked at Elliot's handsome face, then frowned and said, "You don't look happy at all."

Avery vaguely heard the sound of people talking.

She wanted to open her eyes and see who was speaking next to her.
