"Only he knows," Avery was distracted.She felt that Elliot had already remembered her, but she was not sure as long as Elliot did not tell her personally.To her, Elliot might have saved her last night because of the intimate affair they had on the yacht."What's your next step?" asked Ben, "Do you need my help? He's forgotten you but not me.""Has he ever contacted you?" Avery curiously asked."No," Ben was embarrassed, "I received a call from an unknown number calling from Ylore not long ago and didn't pick it up. However, no one answered when I called back.""I know his phone number in Ylore," Avery anticipated, "Show me.""Okay," Ben then found the unknown number which he did not save in the call log.Avery's heart beat fast when she heard the number from Ben, "Ben, it's him! He's using this number in Ylore!""I knew it! He only forgot you but not me! That's why he remembers my number!" Ben breathed heavily, "But why didn't he pick up my phone? I know he's not into romanc

Gary visited Ruby after he had had breakfast.She looked refreshed that day.She felt everything was worth it because Elliot had been by her side."Dad, I want to go home to recuperate," Ruby said cutely, "I don't want Elliot to suffer with me in the hospital.""Okay. I'll send the paramedics home to take care of you.""Thanks, dad." Ruby smiled, but there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, "Dad, where's brother? Did you punish him?""Shouldn't I? You just married Elliot and he's already wanted to kill Elliot…""Brother was being impulsive. Dad, you could talk to him but please don't punish him. I don't want him and Elliot to become enemies. It'll be heartbreaking if that happens," Ruby begged."My silly daughter! Don't worry about that!" said Gary while dropping a hint to Elliot with a strange look.After both of them had come out of the ward, Gary patted Elliot's shoulder."I meted out punishment to you last night because I was worried you might repeat the same mistake! You

Hayden saw his face and hurried to another elevator by reflex.Elliot came out of the elevator with his companions and strode toward the hotel entrance.He did not seem to have noticed Hayden, or perhaps he had noticed the child but he had not realized that Hayden was his son.All in all, their encounter went unnoticed.After Elliot left, the elevator door before Hayden opened. After hesitating for a few moments, Hayden decided to check out from the hotel.For him to run into Elliot today, meant that there were chances of him running into that man again. The hotel Hayden was staying at was the best hotel in all of Ylore, and he had booked a room here because it was safer; however, Gary ran that hotel....Elliot went to the hotel today because Gary wanted him to inspect the place.Gary intended on passing all of his businesses to Elliot, as his son, Christopher, was extremely reckless, and he had made plenty of enemies. If it was not for Gary, Christopher would have been killed

He had other work to do and could not remain in the hotel any longer, but he believed that once Avery arrived, she would be able to find Hayden. Once she did, she could take Hayden away from Ylore.Avery hung up and Jed noticed how pale she looked. "What happened? You look like you are running out of air.""Jed, something urgent came up. I need to head out right now!" Avery said anxiously. She did not waste a moment explaining things to him. "I'll explain to you later!"With that, she ran for the elevator.As soon as she moved, her bodyguard went after her.Ever since the kidnapping incident, her bodyguard had not left her side. Once they were in the elevator, he asked, "What happened?""Elliot called me just now. He said he saw Hayden!" Avery said nervously and was suddenly reminded of something.She opened the contact list on her phone and found Eric's number. Once the elevator arrived on the first floor, she exited hastily and dialed the number.Eric picked up and she asked,

She answered the call but did not manage to compose herself in time. "Elliot, I can't find Hayden. I asked the hotel and the receptionist said that he is not checked into this hotel."She felt a lump in her throat as tears threatened to fall. She would not have been this worried if Hayden was alone in a different country."Are you sure you saw him here?" she asked in a muffled voice."Yes," he said with certainty."You've never forgotten about Hayden, have you?" she asked, "Neither have you forgotten about Layla or Robert..."Elliot's breath grew heavier. "I am certain that he is in Ylore. You should be looking for him, instead of asking me meaningless questions like this.""I can't find him!" Tears rolled down her face. "I don't even know where to start looking for him. He won't answer his phone! So unless he contacts me, there's no way I'm going to be able to find him."Hayden was not a three-year-old toddler any longer. Ever since he had spent half a year studying overseas, h

Perhaps she should not have been so pessimistic. If she could not find him, it would be just as difficult for the Goulds to find him as well.After lunch, she returned to her room. Hayden had yet to contact her.She took out the CT scan diagrams and inspected them closely. She noticed that the tumor in her brain had gotten bigger. It was no wonder that Jed seemed devastated. Had she not told him that Hayden was missing in Ylore, he would have insisted on scheduling her for surgery. At three in the afternoon, Elliot returned home after lunch.He had a few drinks during lunch because Gary had invited a few clients of his to lunch and Elliot could not avoid drinking with them.He headed straight to the bedroom as soon as he arrived home. He was feeling slightly dizzy, and he needed some rest so that he would have the strength to look for Hayden that night.When he pushed open the door and saw Ruby lying on the bed, he froze."Elliot, did you drink?" Ruby set her phone down to st

In De Ligt Hotel, Elliot did not head to the reception to ask about Hayden. Avery had done so, and if the receptionist said that there was no information, then it had to be true.It was either that Hayden had come to Ylore with a forged identity, or he had checked out from the hotel as soon as he spotted Elliot.Elliot had to find out if Hayden had indeed been to this hotel, and he went straight to the guard room. There he asked for this morning's surveillance footage. "What does the person look like, Mr. Foster? I can help you look for him.""A child, but he is quite tall. I can look for him myself." Elliot sat down in the chair and moved the mouse to begin adjusting the time of the footage.He only needed to check if Hayden had checked in at the counter and examine the surveillance inside the elevators to see if he had gotten into it to determine if Hayden had truly checked into De Ligt Hotel.Elliot keyed in the time when he ran into Hayden in the search column, but nothing c

"I did! I said you are worried sick," Mike huffed. "Even if he doesn't go to you tonight, he will probably see you within the next couple of days. Don't be too worried. At the very least, he is safe for now."Mike's answer had eased Avery's mind slightly, but she still had to head out since she had promised Elliot that she would look for Hayden with him."I am going to De Ligt Hotel right now. I am driving there, so wait right here," she said to the bodyguard. "Mike said he told Hayden where we are staying. If Hayden comes to look for me, call me right away.""Alright. Meeting with Elliot should be safe, I'm just worried that you two would get caught by Gary Gould.""If that's possible, Elliot wouldn't have called me to begin with."She started driving towards De Ligt Hotel.About twenty minutes after she left, Hayden appeared before the bodyguard.Hayden was not wearing his signature baseball hat or black backpack. He just stepped into the hotel Avery was staying in. He was alo
