Avery didn't answer Diana, and Evan also looked unhappy. In this situation, Diana became embarrassed all of a sudden.
Evan was annoyed at Diana because she cheated
on him, but he still tried to control himself because she looked fragile.
The doctor also found something wrong. He wrung his hands and explained, "Mr. Howel, I'm glad that Miss. Summer will recover soon, and I suggest she have a rest still, but she insisted on holding a birthday party for you. She said you are the only one intimate relative that she knew here."
The doctor had made an explanation — the reason for holding a party for Evan and her determination.
Avery paid attention to the word "relative" that the doctor said. It seemed like the doctor wanted to justify Diana's behavior.
It was, of course, that Evan and Diana were meant to be a couple, which was not a surprise in The City.
Avery deliberately turned to look at the candle on the ground. She tried to be calm. Now she had a complicated mood. As a picture on Evan's page goes, "Although the enemy has not declared the war, the man has presumed that the enemy is strong."
It was true that the enemy was strong.
So far, Avery had to admit that Diana won because she had made a surprise for Evan
As soon as the doctor finished his words, no one said something. Evan didn't say a word too. He just looked at the candle in the cake without any particular expression and then said, "Help her go to bed."
Telling from the words that Evan said, it seemed that he cared about Diana.
For avoiding stepping on the candle, Robert carefully tiptoed to Diana.
Evan then said to the bodyguards in a commanding tone, "get sorted out."
"Evan, eat a piece of cake first," Robert helped Diana go to bed, and then she said.
Avery was anxious. Her eyelid jumped. When Diana called him Evan, he answered her naturally. Evan and Diana were so close.
Avery took a deep breath. Otherwise, she felt like being suffocated. Even if Evan didn't love Diana, Avery couldn't control herself to doubt. Now she wanted to leave.
"It is just a surprise for your birthday. Are you astonished? When you were a little boy, I had also held a birthday party for you. It's fine. You don't need to be surprised, Evan," Diana said with a weak smile. She tried to pretend to be a frail patient.
Then Diana stopped to have a rest. After a while, she said, "Might I.. call you, Avery?"
The candles went out, and the lights were turned on. Avery slowly turned to look at Diana. With the bright light, Avery could see Diana clear. Her skin was smooth and pale, just like a healthy man.
Avery shook her head, showing that she didn't mind.
"As an old friend, I'm sorry to make you embarrassed. Probably, I did something wrong," Diana was coughing while she was saying.
Evan finally relaxed and said peacefully, "The doctor suggested you have a good rest. As for the cake…"
Evan turned to Avery, asking, "Shall we cut it down?"
Avery knew Evan turned to ask her, so she nodded though she wouldn't like to do so.
Robert was also anxious. He was afraid that Avery would do something improper when she saw Diana.
According to Evan's order, Robert had to pick up a knife though he didn't want to cut it because the cake was beautiful. The blue ocean aquarium was a double cake with square shape. There was an ocean where dolphins, whales, and jellyfish were swimming.
Finally, Robert cut the cake into several parts and was given out to doctors and nurses.
The doctors and nurses were grateful to get a piece of cake. They whispered, "What a beautiful cake. Miss. Summer is so ingenious that she can make such a beautiful cake. I want to keep it, not eat it."
Hearing what the nurses and doctors said, Avery now knew Diana made the cake by herself. It was true that the cake was beautiful and vivid.
Compared to the cake that she made to Diana's cake, Avery was sad for herself. Since the time was limited, She just made a simple cake.
Evan bit into a cake and then gave the plate to Robert, saying, "Have a good rest."
Evan was going to leave now.
When Diana heard that, she immediately took out a gift box from the bedside table, "Here is your birthday gift."
Robert quickly came to take it to Evan.
Evan looked at it but didn't take it. So Robert immediately kept it for Evan.
Diana then said to Evan, "Evan, thank you for your medicine."
"I got to go," Evan answered.
"The medicine? Ergotamine?" Avery guessed.
After getting in the car, Evan didn't open the gift box still. Avery gave a glance over the box and asked, "Aren't you curious about it?"
Avery was curious about the gift, but Evan only cared about her.
"Forget the gift. What do you want to ask?"
Avery turned to be serious and said, "what do I want to ask? If I ask, would you answer me?"
"Have a try," Evan tried to encourage Avery. While he touched and rubbed her waist, he picked up the gift box with another hand and gave it to Avery.
Avery smiled. She now believed that Evan didn't care about the gift. The reason that he gave it to her was because she was curious about it.
It was a black square box, a bit like a jewelry box. Avery didn't open it immediately. Instead, she thought it over and asked, "What does Diana mean for you?"
Evan had expected that Avery would ask him this question.
Evan held Avery's waist with both hands, put his chin on her forehead, and kissed her. "As you have known, I have known Diana since I was a little boy, about 13 or 14 years," Evan answered peacefully.
"Did she save you?"
"Do you know about it?" Evan was astonished.
