Chapter 303: Don’t Be Upset

"Why should I listen to something that makes me unhappy?" Andrew asks.

The nurse finishes treating his back, and she begins to wrap his wounds with clean, soft cotton. Before she can finish, Andrew jumps to his feet and snatches the pen from Avery's hands. He walks across the room and throws it out the window. His face is pale with pain, but he moves quickly.

Andrew slams the window shut, and Avery sighs with relief. She's glad that she won't cause Andrew unnecessary pain, but she's even happier that Evan's cruel plan has failed. She glances at Evan and sees that he's scowling at the window. 

"Since you were so thoughtful in bringing me a gift, I'd like to give you something in return," Andrew says.

He snaps his fingers, and a bodyguard rushes over. He whispers instructions to the guard, and the guard runs into the bedroom. He comes back carrying a creamy white envelope. He passes it to Andrew, who gives it to Evan with a small, ironic bow.
