    Ben erupted inughter and could not resist pping the table.

    "I took her word for it and didn’t notice anything wrong with it. I even thought to myself that I was let


    in on a huge secret, but now that you mention that, I realize that I was a little stupid. How rich is


    ''rich'' for Lilith? A hundred and fifty thousand is probably an astronomical sum of money for her."


    Elliot could sense that Ben was in a good mood from thetter''s self-deprecatingugh.


    "You just said that Avery went to Ylore, right? What for? Do tell!" Ben remembered what he wanted


    to ask and sat upright. " Why did she go to Ylore for no good reason? I don''t remember her having


    any rtives or friends in Ylore!" "She wants to find Ivy." Elliot rubbed his eyebrows. "She suspects


    that Ivy is her child and she wants to do a maternity test."


    "But..." Ben had a look of disbelief on his face. "Ivy''s been missing for three years! Why would she


    decide to look for Ivy and do a maternity test after so long? To be honest, when I saw Ivy''s photo


    back then, I did notice that she looked a little like


    Avery. I just didn''t dare to bring it up. After all, children''s appearances change as they grow. They


    might look like their father at a certain stage and resemble their mother at another."


    "Where did she get that idea all of a sudden?" Elliot murmured. "She''s seen


    Ivy''s photo before, so there''s no reason for her to have doubts now, if indeed she does have them."


    "Exactly! It''s been three years and I almost forgot what Ivy looks like. Was she looking at Ivy''s


    photos all day or something?" Ben wondered. "Who told you that she went to Ylore to look for Ivy?


    Was it Nick?”


    "Yes."


    "Would you like to pay him a visit, then?" Ben cocked his eyebrow and asked. "We failed to find Ivy


    at the beginning, right? I don''t think you''ve given up on your daughter either, and since Avery is also


    looking for her, you can both look for her together! And if Ivy really is the daughter to you and


    Avery..." Ben paused there.


    Everything was so thrilling because there was no telling what would happen to how Elliot ;b!=SJQ=


    Avery''s rtionship would end up if Ivy was in fact their daughter.


    After all, it was Ivy who led to their divorce in the first ce.


    "Do you honestly think that''s possible?" Elliot was appalled by his assumptions.


    "Haven''t you heard of the saying that'' nothing is impossible''? Ivy looks so much like La, and


    La is practically Avery''s spitting image. If you go by this reasoning, then there is no reason for Ivy


    not to be Avery''s child?" Ben became more animated. "Besides, Avery isn’t going to just bring up


    Ivy''s condition for no reason. Does she know something that we don’t?"


    Elliot''s eyes sharpened and his brain was running at full speed.


    "You should go to Ylore and have a look! It doesn''t matter whether Ivy is Ruby''s daughter or Avery''s


    daughter. What’s certain is that you''re her father," Ben said. "I can''t leave Robert alone." Elliot


    thought about how lonely and miserable Robert would be if left all alone.


    "You can. He''s three years old now. He can talk and walk. If you think he’s too lonely, you can ask


    Shea to bring her child to keep himpany! If that’s still not enough, I''ll help you take care of him


    also. "


    "You? Helping me take care of a child?" Elliot scoffed at his offer. "You can’t even handle a woman.


    How do you think you can handle a child?"


    "Your son is much easier to deal withpared to your sister! I guarantee that Robert will like me if


    I feed him and bring him to y. If I treat Lilith nicely, she thinks I have some reason for doing so."


    Ben shrugged helplessly. "I know your heart has been moved. You should go and see if you can


    figure out why Avery is suddenly paying so much attention to Ivy."


    Over at Ylore. The sun started to rise and sunlight shone into the hotel room through the translucent


    curtains.


    Avery was woken up from a nightmare, and she stared nkly at the unfamiliar room while beads of


    sweat fell from her forehead.


    It did not take long before the doorbell rang.


    She walked to the door and opened it.


    "Did your room have a power outage too?" Mike was sweating profusely. He flicked the light switch


    in her room but the light did not turn on. "This hotel is the worst! I can''t believe they had a power


    outage! Man, this heat is killing me!"


    Mike had just finishedining when firefighter sirens were hearding from downstairs.
