The red button was an alarm button. It was connected to Mike. If Hayden pressed the button. it would send Mike his location. Mike would also call the police if he pressed the button.If Hayden had not been forced to act, he would not have gone up against Elliot! Elliot made him do it.
“Hayden…” After Avery was in bed, she anxiously called out to him.
Hayden immediately came over to her bed and held her hand. “Mommy, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Avery looked anxious and said to him, “Hayden, I can’t really move right now. I’ll return home once I’m better. When Elliot comes by later, I’ll get him to arrange for a driver to send you home. You have to be good and listen”
Hayden frowned. “Mommy, don’t ask him for help! I want to go back home with you! I promised Layla that I would bring you home!”
“I can’t move right now,”
“I’ve already called the police. They will bring us home.”
Avery’s brows fluttered. She looked behind Hayden. Elliot was standing by the door!
He had overheard what Hayden had said a moment ago. Avery immediately pulled Hayden closer to her. Hayden did not understand Avery’s reaction, he looked behind him in the direction in which his mother was looking at.
When he saw Elliot’s cold face, Hayden said loudly, as if he was afraid that no one would hear him, “I’ve called the police!”
“Hayden, stop talking!” Avery was afraid that Hayden would aggravate Elliot.
The bruise on Hayden’s neck constantly reminded her that she could not be reckless before leaving this place! She could die here, but she could not let Hayden die here!
Elliot entered with a darkened expression.
“Don’t you dare test my patience!” He looked at Hayden’s face and said slowly and clearly,” Leave! If not, I’ll throw you in the forest to feed the wolves!
Avery’s breathing turned heavy. “Elliot! He is only a five-year-old child! Why are you so violent with children!”
“I don’t like children! Especially this son that you adopted! I hate him the most!”
