Ivy''s words ignited hope within Avery.


    If a doctor determined that a patient was dead, they would not make any effort to save said patient. If one lost the ability to breathe air independently, and their pupils were dted, there was no point in treating them.


    Just then, Hayden''s phone beeped. Mike had sent him some photos.


    Mike went up with the rescue team to search for La, and he took a few photos of the scene when they found La and Eric.


    Since Mike had headed down the mountain, he finally had the chance to send Hayden the photos.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Hayden zoomed in on the first photo and saw Eric''s cheeks were blue and he was wearing nothing but a thinyer of clothes.


    "He couldn''t have gone up to the mountain wearing just that..." Hayden thought and immediately clicked on the second photo of La.


    La seemed to be in far better conditionpared to Eric, and it looked as though she was merely asleep. She was wrapped in a male down jacket, which Hayden assumed belonged to Eric.


    He instantly figured out what happened during the avnche. "Uncle Eric gave his jacket to La," he said before handing his phone to Avery.


    Avery grabbed the phone and stared at the photos. She gripped the phone as if she was holding onto dear life and sobbed into Elliot''s chest.


    Elliot wrapped one arm around her while reaching for the phone with his other hand.


    He would be lying if he said that he was not touched at all when he saw how blue Eric had turned in the cold.


    Eric had shielded La from the snow and given his jacket to her, which showed just how determined he was to save La even if it cost his own life.


    Robert and Ivy were curious as well, so they walked over to stand next to Elliot and stared at the phone.


    A few momentster, tears welled in Robert''s eyes. "People usually only have their own lives in mind when they are in danger... They won''t care about what happens to those


    his jacket to La. He wore nothing but a thinyer of clothes beneath that jacket. He would have surely died from the cold even if there wasn''t an avnche. How can he be so silly?!"


    around them, but Uncle Eric gael. ne


    Ivy felt the same, but she also realized that La had not given her heart to the wrong person.


    La once mentioned that she did not only like Eric because of his looks but also because she felt safe with him ever since she was a child.


    Ivy did not quite understand what La was trying to describe at the time, but she came to a realization when she saw the photos.


    Eric was willing to sacrifice himself to save La, and anyone should consider themselves lucky to have someone care for them to such an extent.


    Avery fainted. The doors to the


    emergency room swung open, and Elliot immediately got the doctors to attend to his wife. They told him not to worry after checking on Avery.


    Avery had fainted from over-exhaustion, and because she was overwhelmed by her own emotions, she would wake up once she had some rest.


    "You can send her back to the hotel, or let her rest here. If she is staying here, we will need to file the paperwork," one of the doctors said.


    Elliot wanted to check on La and


    Eric, but he wanted to take care of Avery at the same time, so he,


    eventually chose to have Avery rest in the hospital.
