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

Only live human beings should be given identity cards! Why were they giving a virtual human an identity card? Who was the one who invented this virtual human? He must be quite important in Roburg. If not, how could he convince the government to give the virtual human an identity card?"Do you know what Billy Haddish means in the local language?" Since the other person was interested in this too, he investigated it.Wanda said, "I'm already very dissatisfied with your service. If you're going to continue teasing me with this, I will never work with you again!""Madam Wanda, I have gone through a lot of trouble to get things done for you. If I didn't have my contacts in Roburg, I would not have been able to get you this list. Have you been a rich mistress in Bridgedale for too long that you don't understand what is going on in the market?"Wanda was in the wrong, so she held back. "What does the name mean?""There are two meanings. One is the sun is rising, the other is revenge."

[Thank you, Wesley.]Wesley: [ Don't thank me. I really hope I could help you more. I don't know how Shea heard about this incident. She hasn't been eating or sleeping for the past two days. I don't know how to talk to her.]Avery: [It will be alright once I find Elliot. I will surely find him.]Wesley: [Don't put too much pressure on yourself.]Avery: [There is no pressure. Wesley, take good care of Shea. If I find out where Elliot is, I will surely tell you at first notice.]Wesley: [Hmm.]After texting Wesley, Avery saved Sebastian Jennings' contact before sending him a message.She was afraid that he would not pick up if she were to call him all of a sudden, as it would be a number he was not familiar with.She had never thought that he would reply to her soon after her message.Sebastian: [Avery Tate! Of course, I remember you! You're a legendary figure! Even if you left the hospital, you were still on everyone's mind. All these years, I have been keeping an eye on you.]
