Bab 318: Chapter 318: Why Is It So Difficult to Walk Away?

"He's not well," Robert whispers across space between the balconies. "He refused to apply for medicine."

"Did you call a doctor?" Avery asks.

Robert shakes his head and answers, "Mr. Howel wouldn't let me call a doctor before. Now he's unconscious, so I don't have a choice. Let's hope he doesn't wake up before the doctor comes."

Avery bites her lip and says, "Okay, I'll come to have a look now. But you have to swear to me that he's really unconscious. He can't even know I was there."

Robert nods, and Avery slips back into her room. She tiptoes across the floor and slips into the hallway. She crosses the cool marble floor barefoot and waits outside Evan's door. After a moment, the door slides open, and Avery enters the room. Robert shuts and locks the door behind her.
