Chapter 1240


    "Mike, stop ringing the doorbell." Ben stopped him. "She must have not slept much the night before. Let


    her sleep in! If she wakes up, she will surely cry again."


    Mike stopped ringing the doorbell. "You haven''t slept much too, right? Do you want to head back to


    your room to rest for a while? Get the bodyguard to take me to the ce of the ident and I''ll have a


    look."


    "I''m not going to sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I can hear Elliot telling me to save him. I feel


    anxious. I really want to save him, but I''m helpless! If Avery''s feelings for Elliot have not changed, she


    must be even more upset than me."


    "Then, let''s wait for her!” Mike said, "I''ll call Chad to let him know I''ve arrived safely."


    "Okay."


    After Mike left, Ben took his phone out. He nned to call the international search and rescue team he


    had contacted the night before.


    They had made a deal the night before. The team would rush over that night, and they would be there


    in the early morning to start their search.


    The week after an ident was the most crucial time. After that period, the chances of survival of the


    injured would reduce significantly.


    In fact, they did not need to wait for a month. Usually, in half a month, if they could not find the injured,


    it was basically conclusive that the injured was dead.


    Ben had not expected the search and rescue team leader to contact him.


    He immediately took the call.


    "Mr. Schaffer. There is a woman here who insists on going with us on the search. We can’t possibly


    take her with us. What if something happens to her? We can''t bear the responsibility."


    Ben was rmed. "Who is this woman?"


    "She said that she is Elliot''s wife! I don''t care who she is, we will not take her! She looks like she is


    suffering from a fever. She needs to leave this ce soon!"


    Ben''s expression darkened. He said sternly, "I understand! I''lle over right now!"


    Mike heard Ben''s voice. He immediately hung up and walked over. "What happened?


    "Avery went up the mountain. The rescue


    team said that she insists on going with them. This should not happen!" Ben said ;b "?WNX: strode to


    the lift.


    Mike pped his head. "I knew that she was not in the room, or she would have opened the door after I


    rang the doorbell! Something has happened to Elliot. If you can''t even fall asleep, how do you expect


    she would!"


    "I was careless!" Ben said remorsefully. " The team said that she is having a fever. I''m wondering


    whether she ran up the mountain in the middle of the night!"


    "There is definitely a possibility! She never listens to anyone. When she gets stubborn, even Elliot can’t


    deal with her. If he


    couldn''t, who else can?" Mike’s head hurt.


    The lift stopped on the ground floor.


    Mike went to the concierge to ask for some fever medication.


    The rain was much lighter than it was the day before, but it was still a nuisance.


    If it was not raining, the rescue work would be much easier to do.


    There was no traffic all the way up the mountain. They finally stopped at the scene of the ident.


    Mike got out of the car and rushed into the rain, yelling Avery''s name.


    "Where is Avery? Why can’t I see her?!" thought Mike.


    Ben chased after Mike with the umbre in his hand.


    "I think she must have gone down with the rescue team," Ben muttered.


    "She''s nuts! She is out of her mind! When she returns, I''m taking her back to


    Aryadelle!" Mike clenched his fists and looked down the cliff with fear. He kept shuddering.


    He had a slight phobia of heights, so he had never dared to go hiking.


    Even when he was on the ne, he would never dare to look out of the window. If Chad were to fall off


    a cliff, he would never dare to take the risk!


    Even if he did not have a phobia of heights, conducting a rescue under such dangerous conditions was

    not something to take lightly. If Avery did not love Elliot, she did not need to take such a risk!


    "Elliot! I''ming for you! I know you’re not dead yet! If you hear my voice, you must hold on! I will find


    a way to rescue you!"


    Avery sat in the helicopter with a


    megaphone, yelling into the wilderness.


    The search team was divided into two.
