Chapter 1909
"Hmm, we''ve just reached." Elliot took a bottle of water, twisted the cap off, and passed it to Avery.
Avery epted the bottle and drank some water.
"Do you want to eat something?" Elliot took the desserts he brought over and passed them to her.
"I''m afraid you might not be able to eat anything tonight.”
Avery shook her head, pushed open the car door, and got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, she walked forward a little while before seeing the tape all around.
Beyond the tape, there were many people busy at work.
The pit was in the old cer of a dpidated brick house. The cer had originally been used to
store food. No one had expected the crime organization to use it as a burial pit!
The brick house was dpidated with tall weeds obscuring it. On the ground, there were many
skeletons. Some wereplete and others were not.
Avery stood by the cordon tape, looking at the scene in front of her. Her eyes could not help but turn
wet.
She thought of how Ivy would have died in there, surrounded by the bones of the dead. She did not
know how much she must have suffered while she was still alive. Avery was extremely heartbroken!
Elliot talked to the staff there for a while before walking to Avery. He held her hand and walked past
the cordon tape.
"Don''t cry. Our daughter might not be here. " He took a tissue and passed it to her.
She epted the tissue and wiped her tears dry. She strode into the pit.
After getting closer, the smell of rot and mold became stronger. It prated through her, making
her dizzy.
Elliot did not expect the smell would be so strong. He immediately took Avery and retreated.
"You need to wear a mask." A staff member passed them a mask. "If you''re nning to head down
to the pit, you have to wear protective gear too. It''s one thing being smelly. The most important thing
is the number of bacteria and viruses down below
Elliot passed the mask to Avery before quickly putting it on himself.
Although the mask was on, the stink was still there.
Avery walked over to the side of the pit ;a*< SLU: looked down. Insects were flying everywhere. She
could vaguely see the bones tightly grouped together.
She retched and immediately took off her mask. She vomited the water that she had drank a
moment ago.
When Elliot saw her. He immediately passed her a tissue. "It looks much worse than we thought it to
be. I had asked you toe and retrieve the body, but-"
"I''m fine." Avery took the tissue and wiped away the water stains on her mouth. She quickly put on
her mask. "I didn''t bring any protective gear over today. Let''se back tomorrow." "Then, let''s
head back!" Elliot looked at how pale she was and, she looked as if she could pass out at any
moment.
When Elliot helped Avery back to the car, she could not help but nce back at the pit.
She did not know why, but she felt that Ivy was in that pit.
When she returned to the hotel, her face was blue and darkened as if she fell terribly sick.
Elliot helped her to the bed, wanting her to lie down, but she stiffly got to her feet.
"Avery, calm down." Elliot bent down in front of her and looked into her eyes. "Our daughter might
not be in that pit."
"Even if our daughter isn''t there, those bones belonged to other people," Avery choked and said,
"Even if our daughter is still alive, she might be tortured somewhere else..."
"Stop thinking about it!" Elliot felt as if someone was cutting his heart open. His eyes darkened and
grief appeared. "It''s all my fault! I couldn''t protect her well!"
"Elliot, stop talking about it! I didn''t recognize my child. I can''t me anyone else either!" Tears fell
from Avery''s eyes. She pushed him away, hard. "I want to be alone! Let me have some peace!"
Elliot looked at the tears on her face. He pursed his lips tightly.
He walked out of the room and gently closed the door. Then, he stood by the door, not leaving.
Soon after, he heard her crying.
