Kabanata 2220

Maliit ang pakete. Kinuha niya ang pakete na magaan.

Maingat niyang tiningnan ang impormasyon sa order number. Ang courier ay ipinadala mula kay Aryadelle, at ang nagpadala ay si Wesley.

Wesley?

Nang makita niya ang salitang ‘Wesley’, na-tense ang kanyang nerbiyos. Lahat ng kuryusidad ay pinakilos.

Nakita niya ang kutsilyo at pinutol ang pakete.

“Ano ito?” Tumabi sa kanya si Mike, nakasandal ang ulo sa harap ng pakete.

Tumayo si Hayden sa kabilang panig ng Avery, gustong makita kung ano ang nasa pakete.

Ang mga gamit ay nakabalot sa isang mapusyaw na asul na kahon.

Nang makita ni Mike ang asul na kahon ay agad niyang kinuha ang pakete kay Avery.

“Pagtingin mo, parang hindi mo alam kung ano yun. buksan ko! Paano kung may panganib?” Sabi ni Mike sabay bukas ng blue box.

Pagkabukas pa lang ng box ay nagulat ang ekspresyon ng mukha ni Mike.

-Ano ito?

– Hindi marunong magbasa.

-Hindi ba dapat ito ay mapanganib?

“Ipakita mo saakin.” Takot si Hayden sa panganib, kaya kinuha niya ito kay Mike bago ito kinuha ng kanyang ina.

Napakunot ang noo ni Avery, pinagmamasdan ang mga bagay na pumunta mula sa kamay ni Mike patungo kay Hayden.

Pakiramdam niya ay medyo pamilyar ang bagay na ito…

Di-nagtagal, isang nakakatakot na pag-iisip ang naganap sa kanyang puso!

Agad niyang hinanap ang kanyang cellphone sa kanyang bag at tinawagan si Wesley.

Si Wesley ay naghihintay ng kanyang tawag.

Kaya pagkatapos makita ang kanyang tawag, sinagot kaagad ni Wesley ang telepono: “Avery, natanggap mo ba ang package na ipinadala ko sa iyo?”

“Well. What is that?” Avery asked calmly, holding back her heart that was about to jump out.

She already had the answer in her heart, and she felt that the truth must be what she guessed.

“That’s the device in Elliot’s brain. Three days ago, I hired a doctor and took it out for him.” Wesley confessed the matter, “Avery, I’m sorry. I’ve never dared to tell you. Because I-I promised Elliot that I can’t tell you before the operation. After the operation…”

“What happened after the operation? It’s been three days since the operation, how is he?” Avery exclaimed hysterically.

Mike and Hayden immediately walked to Avery’s side and listened to her phone.

Wesley was still in the hospital.

“Avery, Elliot’s still alive. It’s just that he hasn’t woken up yet.” Wesley replied, “I called several well-

known neurosurgeons in Aryadelle. They said that the reason why Elliot was still awake was because of him. His brain underwent two operations in a short period of time, resulting in relatively large damage and weakness. The doctor said that his life may not be in danger. The premise is that if he can wake up.”

Avery’s heart tightened and relaxed.

“Avery, I’m sorry. Elliot’s attitude was very firm. He would rather die than be controlled by others. He also didn’t want you to be threatened, so he made this decision.” Wesley sincerely apologized.

“Why do you listen to him like this?” Avery felt a little sad. She believed in Wesley so much, so she let Wesley stare at Elliot.

In the end, Wesley concealed such an important matter from her.

“Hinahanap ni kuya Elliot si Shea. Hiniling niya kay Shea na hanapin ako.” Walang magawang sinabi ni Wesley, “Alam mo, pinakikinggan siya ni Shea.”

“Nakita ko.” Itinaas ni Avery ang kanyang kamay para punasan ang mga luha sa gilid ng kanyang mga mata , “It’s okay to do it. Originally, I planned to go back to Aryadelle and take out the device in his brain. Nakilala ko si Calvin ngayong gabi, at sinabi niya sa akin na ang aparato ay maaaring gamitin upang linlangin ang mga tao.

“Kaya kung si Elliot ay nagkaroon ng operasyon makalipas ang ilang araw, malalaman niya ang mahalagang impormasyong ito.” Nanghinayang si Wesley, “Kung alam ko lang sana ng mas maaga, naghintay ako ng ilang araw. Hindi ako masyadong kabahan.”
