Chapter 1943


    There were no furniture or dividing walls. Only the kitchen and washroom were in separate rooms.


    "Baam!"


    In the kitchen, one of the bodyguards pushed a cab down.


    Since they could not find Avery''s phone despite the fact that there were merely a few pieces of


    furniture in the hut, they had resorted to shoving all the furniture down.


    To their bewilderment, a miracle unfolded before them once the cab was moved aside.


    "Mr. Felix, there’s a door here!" The bodyguard shouted once he spotted the rusted door.


    Everyone else ran over in an instant.


    "Bring it down!" Nickmanded once he saw the door.

    The bodyguard cleared his throat. "Boss, we can just open it." He then pulled the door open and an


    entrance appeared. It was dark.


    They gasped.


    Ben had not expected his theory to be right. Chad was overwhelmed with a premonition that Elliot


    was long gone.


    Just as the others stared dazedly at the entrance, Hayden went past them and darted into the


    darkness.


    "Hayden! Let the bodyguard go first!" shouted Nick immediately, trying to stop him.


    Nick was a cautious man and would never be the first to run headfirst into dangerous situations like


    this. His bodyguard heard him and immediately reached out to grab Hayden by the arm.


    "We will lead the way. You are going to stay behind us!" The bodyguard grabbed onto the torchlight


    with one hand and his gun with another and headed in.


    It was a cement stairway that led to the basement, which was far easier to walk on. They slowly


    descended, and soon, the light on the bodyguard''s torchlight illuminated a pile of bones at the side.


    "Crap! I was right! I knew there would be a pit here as well!" Ben covered his nose and scowled.


    Hayden shoved the bodyguards ahead of him and ran into the darkness. Shortly after, his panicked


    shout echoed throughout the basement.


    "Mommy!"


    Ben and Chad hurried after him at the realization that Hayden had found his mother.


    "Mommy! Mommy!" Hayden’s voice trembled as he sobbed.


    Hayden had always been proud and selfcentered, he had never lost hisposure in front of


    others; however, when he saw the way his mother leaning against the wall, as pale as a ghost, it


    looked as though she had left him forever, and he could not control the sorrow that washed over


    him.


    He threw his iPad away and crouched to lift Avery from the ground, before hurrying outside toward


    the entrance. Tears rolled down his cheeks, blurring his vision, as he carried her in his arms.


    Avery''s body was cold.


    Though he had tried his best not to think about the worst oue, the thought lingered and all his


    senses crumbled


    On the other hand, the other remained frozen in ce as Hayden took Avery away.


    Confused, Chad questioned frantically, " Where''s my boss? Where''s Mr. Foster?!"


    Nick''s expression darkened; he arranged for one of his bodyguards to follow Hayden and said to the


    others, "Elliot is still missing! Keep looking!"
