"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

"Layla, what is it?" Robert saw Layla weeping. He immediately grabbed her hand and shook her."Daddy is missing! He might be dead!" Layla sobbed and flung Robert's hand away, running inside.Robert wailed and cried, startled.Mike immediately picked Robert up and said to Hayden, "Go coax Layla."Hayden strode into the house.Chad pushed Avery along, following them. When they entered the living area, the children had been consoled.Hayden told Layla that Avery had almost died, and she was rescued from the brink of death with much difficulty. He hoped that Layla would be more understanding and not cry in front of Avery.When Layla heard this, she kept herself from crying. When Robert saw that Layla had stopped crying, he too stopped crying. However, his mouth was still twitching. He looked extremely pitiful.Mrs. Cooper bore through the heartbreak and called everyone to the dining hall for dinner.Avery did not have an appetite, but she did not want to stop the others from hav

Mrs. Cooper immediately picked Robert up and left the dining hall.Avery placed the bowl down. She had finished her porridge. The moment she put down her utensils another servant came over."Avery, let me send you back to your room!"Although Hayden was a good child, Avery had to be washed. It was inconvenient for Hayden to do it.A week later, Leah came to Natalie's place for a meal. Natalie was the one who had taken the initiative to invite Leah over.Leah had overheard her conversation the last time she had come over. Although Leah had claimed that she had forgotten the conversation, Natalie still worried about it."Leah, how are you feeling with school?" Natalie had ordered food to be sent to her place earlier. At that moment, the table was filled with dishes, and it smelled amazing."The first week is great. I'm still building relations with the students." Leah looked at the feast on the table. She said, stunned, "Natalie, you have ordered so much food. We surely won't be a

Natalie's assistant immediately said, "Miss Jennings, what do you mean?""She previously eavesdropped on my call. She was clearly standing outside my room door eavesdropping, yet she said that she had overheard that conversation."After that incident, Natalie purposely played music on her phone in her room. She could not hear the music when she walked into the hall. Only by standing outside her room door, she could hear a little."Maybe, she's just a curious young girl!" Her assistant said, "She is your cousin, not Avery's. I believe that she is on your side.""You're right. Although I'm uncomfortable with her pretending to be ignorant, she has a sweet mouth." Natalie thought that she was overthinking things. "I wasn't close to her, but she and Avery aren't close at all.""No matter what, you two are relatives. Both your parents were close to each other!""Hmm.""Miss Jennings, could she have eavesdropped on something important?" Natalie's assistant asked.Natalie sobered up a

Avery found her phone, searched for Wesley's contact, and called him.Wesley soon answered her call."Avery, I heard that Hayden is going back to Bridgedale today. Has he left?""Yes, he just left," Avery said. "Wesley when I was doing my masters, was there a student whose family is from the MediLove Pharmaceutical?"Wesley thought for a while before saying, "Yes, back then, Professor Hough had not wanted him as a student, but his father pestered the professor, and he even pestered Professor Hough's family. In the end, Professor Hough took the boy in as a student because he could not stand the pestering.""Wesley, do you have his contact? I'm looking for him," Avery said urgently."What are you looking for him for? If you really need to look for him, I'll get his contact for you," Wesley said in confusion.Avery told him about her thoughts in full honesty."I'll go try and get his contact." Wesley thought that her suspicions made sense.If Elliot had been taken away in a priva
