Chapter 1387

"You know who Jed is, right?" Elliot looked her in the eye and asked, "How did he die?" The smile on Ruby's face froze. "He’s dead? | had no idea! I've been home all this ti—" "You don't need to leave home if you wanted to kill him."

"| didn't kill him! Why would | kill him when | have nothing against him?" Ruby reached out and grabbed Elliot's arm. "| do know him. | ran into him at the hospital when | sought consultation at the hospital for the test-tube baby. He begged me to help Avery get out of here, but | told him that my father was angry and that | could only help him when my father cooled down." "That's all?" Elliot pushed her hand away. "Yes! | didn't have anything to do with him other than his request for me to help Avery..." Ruby saw that Elliot did not entirely trust her, so she continued, "There was one other time when | took the initiative to invite him to our home as a guest. | heard that Avery had a man by her side, so | wanted to know what their relationship was."

"He died. Poisoned to death," Elliot said. " Who else do you think would kill him other than your family? He's just a doctor. He has no connections here..."

"| don't know anything, Elliot! Please believe me. | haven't been feeling well for the past two days and stayed at home all this time." Ruby said while crying. "My dad might have done it... He has been grieving over my elder brother's death. He probably didn't dare to kill Avery because he was afraid of making you angry, so he killed those around her to relieve his anger..."

Elliot could not do anything about it if the responsibility was shifted to Gary. Sure enough, Elliot's face turned cold when he heard what she said because there was nothing he could do about it.

Back at the hospital, the bodyguard comforted Jed's girlfriend to the best of his ability, but to no avail. At the same time, he was worried that Avery could not bear the sudden news, so he called Elliot and asked the latter to come over.

Elliot reached the hospital in no time. As soon as he met Jed's girlfriend, he explained the cause of Jed's death to her.

"That’s all the information | have right now, ;a(:UIT= the most | can do is compensate you,” he said bluntly. "You'll only lose your own life if you try to find the murderer, and you cannot be irrational. If Jed was still alive, I'm sure he wouldn’t want you to die for his sake."

"| don't want compensation... I'm not going to accept any money no matter how much you give me... | just want Jed..." "I'm sorry, but he's gone. | can bring you to see his body."
