Chapter 1954
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 cer has been dug up. We can see the entire cer
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 nche 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."
Hayden helped Avery back to the wheelchair. "La called me asking me when you and he are
going home. I said you’ll go back soon."
"Hayden, I don''t want to go back." Avery looked at the huge pit with teary eyes. Her sight was blurry.
"Your father might still be suffering. He might still be waiting for us to look for him. I can''t give him
up." "No one is giving him up." Hayden corrected Avery. "The building was razed to the ground. The
underground cer was dug up. This shows how determined we are to find him.
"Mommy, if you don''t go back, Mike won''t be able to lie to them any longer. If La and Robert were
to find out that something has happened to you two. They would surely cry terribly," Hayden added.
Avery lowered her head. She did not know what to tell her son.
She did not want to leave that ce, but she also did not want to leave her children alone.
She felt so conflicted. A part of her wanted to jump onto a ne and search the world for him, but
she barely had any strength.
Soon after, a rumble came from behind.
A helicopter l?a$;RIT>ed behind them.
"Mommy, let’s return to Aryadelle!" Hayden patiently coaxed her, "If you care about Elliot that much,
I will send men to look for him."
Grief overwhelmed Avery as she heard what Hayden said. "Hayden, he is your father. He isn’t our
enemy. I initially thought that I could pretend not to care for him and lie to myself, but I realized I
can''t! If he is alive, I won''t fight with him or deliberately infuriate him. I want to be with him forever!"

Hayden never thought that Avery would say such words to him.
"Avery, since you love him so much, then you should head back to Aryadelle.
Recuperate and get well soon. Take good care of your children." Nick walked over to them and
looked at her wearied and sad face. "Once we find Elliot, we will surely send him back to you in one
piece."
Avery had no other choice.
They had already said that Elliot was not in Ylore. It would be pointless for her to continue staying
there.
When she was sent to the helicopter, a thought suddenly shed across her mind.
"Could Elliot have been taken away like this too?" she asked. "You said that you could not find him
at the airport or bus station. Could he have been taken away by helicopter?"
If Elliot could have left more clues in Ylore, at least they would be able to find him.
"This can''t be ruled out." Chad said "Private flightsnding in Ylore will have a record. I''ll get
someone to check on the flight records for the past few days in Ylore."
After close to ten hours of flight, the helicopternded in Aryadelle.
After Averynded, she saw an ambnce that hade to pick her up.
"I''m not going to the hospital," she said apprehensively. "I''ll just be at home on an IV drip."
"Okay." Mike got the ambnce to leave.
Hearing her speak, although her voice was not as crisp and loud as before since she could speak,
meant that her problem was not that serious anymore.
