The doctor thought that after he increased his volume, Avery would be able to hear him and reply to him.However, after what he said, Avery closed her eyes.A moment later, the doctor came out of the intensive care unit."Doctor, how is my mother doing?" Hayden said."Doctor, did she talk? Was she conscious? When can she be transferred to a normal ward?" Chad followed closely behind.The doctor smiled and replied, "She merely opened her eyes for a while before closing them again, but all readings show that she is no longer in any danger.""Then, why did she close her eyes again?" Chad was worried. "When will she come around again?""She could come around anytime," the doctor replied. "Only one or two of you should stay in the hospital. The others should head back and rest! When she wakes up, we should be able to transfer to the normal ward."At that, Ben let out a sigh of relief."Hayden, why don't you head back to the hotel to get some rest? The doctor said that your mother w
Even if Elliot was hugging her, she still felt uncontrollably cold. In the end, Elliot took off his shirt and put it on her.She sniffed his familiar scent and felt much better. Even with Elliot next to her, she still could not stop the fear and the despair.She was reluctant to die just like that. She finally could clear up the misunderstanding with Elliot. She wanted to return to the sun with Elliot. She wanted to live a good life with him and raise their children.In her dreams, she kept crying and calling out Elliot's name. However, in the end, she saw Elliot falling in front of her.Elliot gave her his clothes, so he froze to death.…In Aryadelle, Natalie caught wind of the news of Avery being found.Although Natalie was not in Ylore, she had always been paying attention to the situation.She had not heard of Avery being found on the day itself. She only found out about it the day they razed the building.She heard that they had only found Avery in the underground cellar
Natalie was furious. She wanted to smash her phone to pieces, but she held back.She took a deep breath and asked, "How is Holly's arrangement? She cannot appear in public in the future! Let alone in front of Elliot and Avery! If she gives me up, I'm finished!""Miss Jennings, don't worry. She promised me that she would never appear in front of anyone. If she does not hide away this time, she will surely be put to death.""Why is Avery so lucky?" Natalie gritted her teeth. "She has been starved for six days and yet she lives!""I, too, did not think that she would be able to survive! Looking at how skinny she is, I thought she would not be able to survive long! I wonder where Elliot is… maybe Avery knows about it.""Pay close attention to Avery's situation. See if you can bribe the medical staff in the hospital," Natalie instructed. "If you can find out where Elliot is, I will surely pay you handsomely!"At the hospital, when Avery woke up once more, the doctor immediately rushed
Avery did not heed the doctor's advice. The only thing she heard was that they had only rescued her and that they had not found Elliot.How did this happen? Elliot was trapped together with her. How did they only rescue her but not Elliot?After she was transferred to the normal ward, Ben and Chad stood by the side of the bed, looking at her hopefully.Her bodyguard suddenly knelt by the side of the bed with a thud."Miss Tate! I'm sorry! I didn't protect you well! Almost letting you die!" The bodyguard started crying.Ben and Chad looked at the bodyguard in astonishment.Avery turned her attention to him."Miss Tate! Thank goodness you're not dead! Thank goodness you survived! If not, I will die too!" The bodyguard wept and wiped away his tears.Chad glanced at Avery before reprimanding the bodyguard, "She just came out from the intensive care unit. She's barely awake, and yet you're so noisy. Aren't you afraid that you'll scare her until she passes out?"Ben's head hurt. "
"I'm not going home. I'm not going anywhere." Avery rejected Hayden's arrangement without hesitation. "I'm going to look for your father. I'm going to get him back!"Avery's voice was hoarse. She had lost control of her emotions.Ben patted Hayden on the shoulder. "Hayden, go back to the hotel and rest. We'll talk to Avery."Hayden did not want to leave Avery. He was afraid that he would lose her if he left her."Listen to me. Your mother must remain calm right now, but she has gotten all worked up after she found out that Elliot is missing. No matter what she says right now, we have to follow her." Ben pulled Hayden outside the ward and said in a low voice, "Go back with the bodyguard to the hotel and rest. Chad and I will surely convince her to get some rest.""I want to take Mommy back to Bridgedale to get treated," Hayden said, explaining his own intentions."Hayden, Aryadelle is Avery's home. Even if you wanted to get Avery treated, you will have to go to Aryadelle. Layla an
Avery's mind was filled with Elliot. She could barely think about anything else."Avery, did you clear your misunderstandings between each other in the underground cellar?" Ben looked at Elliot's shirt in her hand and asked."He said that he has always loved me…" Tears fell once more. Her voice was trembling. "Me too. Me too!"Ben's words were stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something else but felt it was unnecessary.At that moment, Elliot was nowhere to be found. No one knew if he was dead or alive. If he were to let her know that Elliot's love for her has never once wavered, it would only make her suffer more.Avery sobbed for a while and passed out due to her body still being weak.Ben and Chad came out from the ward. They took deep breaths."Ben, what should we do?" Chad was heartbroken. "If we can't find Mr. Foster, I don't think Avery would be able to recover from this.""I don't know what to do either," Ben's head hurt terribly. "I think that Elliot is not in Ylor
Avery grabbed Hayden's arm with one hand, trying to get up from the wheelchair."Mommy, do you want to head down?" Hayden helped Avery up with both hands, carefully helping her up from the wheelchair. "The underground cellar has been dug up. We can see the entire cellar from here."Avery stretched her neck forward to look as far as she could."Over here is the first entrance. The well is over there." Hayden pointed the directions to Avery. "Mommy, even before we found you, Elliot was not there.""Where did he go? When did he leave me? Who took him away?" Avery looked at Hayden and asked him a series of questions."I don't know, but the one thing I do know is that they must have taken him from the front entrance, as the well was still welded shut when we got here.""Have you found Holly Blanche yet?" Avery held her tears back. "That liar! If I see her again, I'll kill her with my own hands!""Mommy, she did not head back to her hometown. Perhaps, she might not even be in Ylore."
On the way back, Mike rubbed his palms together. After a moment of hesitation, he said to Avery, "I haven't told Layla yet, but she has already guessed that something has happened to you. I wanted her to come and pick you up together with me, but she refused."Avery's lips quivered, but she could not make a sound.Even if they were to hide this from the children, one day, they would surely hear this from someone else or see it on the news.At Elliot's mansion, Mrs. Cooper had made a feast. She was waiting by the entrance.Layla and Robert were waiting in the living room. They did not play with their toys or eat anything.Robert wanted to head to the courtyard, but Layla held his hand, not letting him go. She was feeling terrible and wanted someone to stay with her.For the past few days, she had been secretly calling Avery and Elliot but neither of them had answered their phones. She had asked Mike why she could not get through to them. Mike had been evasive and avoided talking
