Chapter 1235
They came down from the mountain and sure enough it started to rain heavily.The skies were dark. It was only three in the afternoon, yet the skies were as dark as the skies at the end of the world.Ben looked at the rain pelting the window. His eyes turned wet.It was summer at that moment. A body would rot in less than a week. On top of that, there was such a huge storm. Forget a week, the body would surely be ruined today.Ben's phone rang and he came out from his grieving. He took his phone out and wiped away his tears.He answered the call and Avery's voice came from the other side. "Ben, where are you? Have you gotten news about Elliot? I just got off the plane. I'm coming to look for you now.""Wait for me at the airport. I'll come to pick you up." Ben quickly collected his emotions and thought about how to console her.If she knew that Elliot had an accident in the mountains and that they could not find his body, she would surely lose it.…Avery was standing at the en

At Aryadelle, Chad drove to Starry River Villa.Mike was home alone.After returning to Aryadelle that afternoon, Hayden was called away by his teacher. Mike took a nap at home and slept until the evening."Avery passed out," Chad told him the news. Mike instantly woke. "Elliot is really dead?"Chad nodded. "Ben said that he was driving up the mountain and his car fell off a cliff. They could not even find his body.""Damn. That's terrible!""Which is why Avery passed out." Chad's head hurt. "I can't believe what I'm hearing. I can't accept this.""Didn't you say that you suspect it was murder? Are you sure it's not?" Mike had almost forgotten the last time he had seen Elliot. He could not even bid Elliot farewell. What a pity! How absurd!If he had known that Elliot was going to leave the world so early, he would not have gone against him all the time."Ben said that Mr. Foster and Gary don’t have any conflict of interest. Also, Mr. Foster doesn't have anything to do with S

Hayden looked at Chad and asked astutely, "Is Elliot dead?" Chad's words were stuck in his throat. He said, "Hayden, as the eldest son of the family, this is the time you need to care for Layla, because your mother—""What happened to Mommy?" Hayden furrowed his brows."Your mother has passed out. I'm afraid her suffering will truly start when she wakes up."Hayden instantly lowered his gaze. He could not hide the sadness in his eyes.Chad looked at him carrying his bag, slowly returning to his room. Sadness overwhelmed him.How he hoped that he could do something to lessen the suffering of this nightmare.However, calming down, he realized that he had problems of his own. Chad continued working at Sterling Group even after Elliot had given up his shares. To him, it was as though Elliot had never left the company.He believed that Elliot would return soon. He never would have thought that this would happen.He did not know if he could bring himself to return to Sterling Group

Ben clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He did not know how to persuade Avery to abandon her plan."Elliot is a living person! He isn't the wind or the rain! Before I find his body, don't ever say that he is dead! What if he is still in a corner, waiting for rescue? Do you dare to say that there isn't this possibility?" Avery said emotionally. Her eyes reddened.Ben cried at her questions. "I never thought of giving him up! Avery, I'll bring you to the scene of the accident! I just think that it's going to be hard—""Even if it's hard, I have to look for him!" Avery's eyes were filled with determination. Her tone was firm. "Even if I have to search every inch of the forest, even if I have to move the mountain, I have to find him!"…Gary was in a luxurious European-styled mansion.One of Gary's men quickly ran in. "Boss, Avery, and Ben went up to the mountain. They are not afraid of death! It's still raining outside! I'm afraid before Elliot has an accident there, t
Chapter 1239
Avery was imagining Elliot lying among rocks without any water or food, covered in injuries, yet he could not be rescued.The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she got.Tears kept falling, wetting parts of her hair.A long time later, she groggily fell asleep.In the middle of the night, a huge wind blew by! Avery was woken up by a nightmare. When she got up. She saw the curtains slapping against the wall. Thankfully she did not switch off the lights in the room, if not she would have been frightened by the terrifying sounds.She quickly walked over to the window and was about to shut it when she saw that the rain outside had stopped.The rain had stopped. She wondered how Elliot was doing.She felt as if she had gone mad. She headed to the door. She wanted to look for him right at that moment! She had to go up the mountain to look for him! "What if he is still alive? What if I manage to find him?" thought Avery. She remembered Charlie Tierney had hosted an eve

"Mike, stop ringing the doorbell." Ben stopped him. "She must have not slept much the night before. Let her sleep in! If she wakes up, she will surely cry again."Mike stopped ringing the doorbell. "You haven't slept much too, right? Do you want to head back to your room to rest for a while? Get the bodyguard to take me to the place of the accident and I'll have a look.""I'm not going to sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I can hear Elliot telling me to save him. I feel anxious. I really want to save him, but I'm helpless! If Avery's feelings for Elliot have not changed, she must be even more upset than me.""Then, let's wait for her!" Mike said, "I'll call Chad to let him know I've arrived safely.""Okay."After Mike left, Ben took his phone out. He planned to call the international search and rescue team he had contacted the night before.They had made a deal the night before. The team would rush over that night, and they would be there in the early morning to start their sear

Some of the people remained on the helicopter to search with a thermal imager, which only showed images of living humans or animals. If Elliot was dead, this machine would not show them where he is.Another group spread out into the mountains to search for him in different areas.The rescue team had begun their search that morning, and after two hours, the helicopter flew back to the mountain to drop Avery off.The moment Mike saw her, he could not stop the feeling of wanting to chastise her from welling up deep within him. "The terrain down there is harsh with countless valleys and forests. I can't even find him... Mike, he is going to die if I can't find him! What should I do?"Avery felt dizzy and leaned her head against Mike's shoulder.Mike was instantly shocked by the temperature of her skin. "You are burning up! Avery Tate, are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Mike took out the medicine he brought with him and stuffed it into her mouth. "Swallow this and let's get out

Mike called an ambulance as soon as their flight landed at the airport in Aryadelle.Avery's fever from the day before grew worse, and the medicine that Mike had given her only brought it down for a while. On the plane, Mike had asked the flight attendant for more fever medication. This was his second time needing medication to bring the fever down. However, the effects did not last long when compared to the first time she had taken the medication. Her temperature soon began to climb. When Mike carried her off the plane, he could sense that her temperature had easily passed forty degrees celsius.She started to twitch and turn as she lost consciousness.Had he known that her fever was this severe, he would have never taken her back to Aryadelle while she was sick.The ambulance arrived shortly after, and once Avery was on it, Mike went in as well and they left for the hospital. Ever since news of Elliot's death spread, rumors concerning him had not ceased in the city. The fact
