"Avery, get Evan out of here. Don't worry about me!" Gabrielle yells.
Avery presses her lips together. She has to take Evan away because of his snakebites. If she leaves him behind, Andrew will let him die.
"I'm sorry, Gabby," Avery says.
It's not a difficult decision, but it hurts her deeply to abandon Gabrielle. She bites her lip hard, surprised to learn that Evan is just as precious to her as Gabrielle.
"Avery, I'm fine here," Gabrielle insists, "Andrew treats me well. I'm staying because I want to. Come on, you have to take Evan and go. I can take care of myself."
Avery bites her lip harder, trying to stop herself from crying. She considers asking Robert to find an antidote—it could be possible with Evan's wealth—but she doesn't know how much time she and Evan have. Besides, Robert might be too injured to perform his duties effectively.
