"There's a fire," Avery said, immediately running outside with Mike. Other guests on the same floor also came out of their rooms. Due to the power outage, the elevator was unavailable, and everyone had to leave through the emergency access. Fortunately, there was no crowding. When everyone descended to the first floor in an orderly manner, they smelled a burning smell. "It's a fire on the first floor." Avery took Mike out of the hotel, and after breathing in the fresh air, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It started in the restaurant we ate in last night." Mike sighed and coughed a few times, "Fortunately, it didn't happen during our meal last night. That would've been scary!" Avery said, "If the cause of the fire wasn't arson, the fire safety protocols of the hotel would need to be questioned." "I was sleepy at first, but now I am completely awake." Mike said and looked at Avery, "Aren't these the clothes you wore last night? Didn't you take a bath last night?"
She dashed towards the hotel. Mike gave chase, but he couldn't catch up with her. She was too fast! When Mike ran to the hotel door, he saw Avery getting into an ambulance! The bodyguard stood behind Mike and asked, "Should we go after her?" "I don't think we can. The ambulance is faster than us." Mike turned around and walked towards the breakfast shop, "There are doctors and policemen inside the ambulance, she will be fine. When she is done, she will come back." "She is starting to get precocious." The bodyguard said, "She hasn't even had her breakfast but still ran like the wind." "She thinks Ivy is still alive. So she wants to find this child quickly." Mike said, "Do you think this child is still alive?" "Of course not!" the bodyguard said firmly, "Well, then again, maybe she is alive. If I am that omniscient, I won't be working as a bodyguard here. I'd be the president." Mike said, "Actually, I hope this child is still alive. If this child is still alive
"I will bring it to you before nightfall." She promised to give her what she wanted, "But now you must tell me where my daughter Ivy is. It would be better if you gave me more detailed information." "I don't know much." The woman answered quickly, "I just heard them talk about it, saying that this child was Elliot's daughter... It should be the child you mentioned." "Yes, I think so." Avery came to her side and asked, "Where was she sold to?" The attending doctor saw that the arsonist on the hospital bed opened her lips and gave Avery an answer. Avery seemed relieved after getting the answer. She turned around and walked toward the attending doctor. The two came out of the ward. Without waiting for the doctor in charge to ask, Avery asked, "Is euthanasia legal in the country?" The attending doctor was stunned for a moment. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Does she want to be euthanized?" Avery nodded. "She doesn't want to go to jail and just wants to die
"Mike, even if anyone brings Ivy to me safely, the custody must still be given to Elliot. I won't complain about that." Avery's main concern was Ivy, not about her custody. "Since you said that, we can join forces with Elliot to find her! The more, the merrier." Mike put forward his own suggestion, "After all, Aryadelle is Elliot's territory." "I think he should have looked for her in Aryadelle before. He cares about this child very much." Avery put the change in her purse, turned, and walked towards the hotel door, "Let's go back to Aryadelle first. We can find him if we need any help in the future." In the hospital, at Avery's request, the doctor injected a small dose of sleeping pills into the arsonist. The arsonist quickly fell asleep. In the evening, she woke up and was stunned by what she saw! Wasn't she supposed to be dead? Why was she alive? She wanted to move, but the burns on her body hurt severely. She was not dreaming! She really didn't die! Avery
Among all his children, only Robert really liked him and wanted to be with him. Before the winter and summer vacations, Layla wanted to take Robert to find Avery in Bridgedale, but Robert was unwilling to go. He preferred to stay at home and be by his father's side. "Robert, dad is thrilled to see you every day." Elliot hugged his son and sat down on the couch. "Dad will be away from home for a few days, though. Dad is going to a distant place..." "Don't!" Robert didn't even think about it. He frowned and got angry, "I won't let Dad go!" Elliot knew that his son would react this way, so he took out the gift he had brought. "Look at this robot; it's missing a leg!" Robert's eyes were immediately attracted to the robot. "Dad is going to a faraway place to help the robot get the other leg back. When Dad gets the robot's leg, Dad will come home, okay?" Elliot coaxed patiently. Robert nodded. With his son's permission, Elliot booked his flight ticket. Robert
Nick didn't receive the news that Elliot was coming over, so he didn't tell him that Avery had left in advance. Elliot wanted to look nonchalant as if he didn't come to Ylore to look for Avery, but he couldn't hide his expression. "Didn't she come here to look for Ivy?" "I don't know! She didn't tell me when she left. I wanted to invite her to dinner, but I couldn't get to her, so I suspected she might have left. I called the airport to check and found that she had left." Nick didn't know if Avery was still looking for Ivy or not. "Since you're here, take some days off and stay with me for a few days!" Nick enthusiastically pulled Elliot to sit down on the couch, "Did you come here for Avery or to ask me about Ivy?" "I want to know why Avery suddenly suspects that Ivy is her daughter." Elliot looked calm, "She saw Ivy's photo three years ago. It wasn't anything new to her." "Oh...then she probably didn't tell me the truth! After all, I'm not that familiar with her. Sh
Mike: [Have a guess.] Chad was too lazy to guess, so he made a phone call. Mike felt that Chad's patience was lower than before. "You came back with Hayden?" After Mike answered the phone, Chad's voice sounded. "Hayden is still in school! How could he come back with me?" "Oh... I thought Avery was never coming back to Aryadelle? Why did she come back all of a sudden?" Chad pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Since when did she say she would never return to Aryadelle?" Mike took the phone and went back to his room. "You haven't gone to work, have you? You could ask for leave today." "No. I really can't ask for a leave today. My boss told me he won't come to the company for the next few days." Chad said, "Do you think it is possible that his behavior has something to do with Avery's return to Aryadelle?" "How would I know? We returned to Aryadelle quite abruptly and didn't tell anyone." "Oh, that might be a coincidence! By the way, how many days is A
"Don't say that! Ben is quite handsome. Besides, Ben is really nice." "Yeah, according to you, your boss is also a nice person." Mike teased and dialed Lilith's number, "Don't talk; I'm calling Lilith." In the Starry River Villa, Avery had slept for about three hours and was woken up by the sound outside. When she slept, she had forgotten to close the curtains. The golden sunlight shone in through the window. She opened her eyes and didn't get up immediately. A child's voice rang in her ears. "Robert, don't tell your father that I brought you to see your mother today." Ben hugged Robert and came to Avery's house, feeling uneasy. Robert knew Ben very well because he often visited him. So when they proposed to bring Robert out to play, Robert obediently followed him. After Robert heard the word 'mother', an unnaturally timid expression suddenly appeared on his little face. He usually talked with his mother on video. Sometimes, when Layla video called A
