Hayden looked at Chad and asked astutely, "Is Elliot dead?"
Chad's words were stuck in his throat. He said, "Hayden, as the eldest son of the family, this is the time you need to care for Layla, because your mother—"
"What happened to Mommy?" Hayden furrowed his brows.
"Your mother has passed out. I'm afraid her suffering will truly start when she wakes up."
Hayden instantly lowered his gaze. He could not hide the sadness in his eyes.
Chad looked at him carrying his bag, slowly returning to his room. Sadness overwhelmed him.
How he hoped that he could do something to lessen the suffering of this nightmare.
However, calming down, he realized that he had problems of his own. Chad continued working at Sterling Group even after Elliot had given up his shares. To him, it was as though Elliot had never left the company.
He believed that Elliot would return soon. He never would have thought that this would happen.
He did not know if he could bring himself to return to Sterling Group and continue working for the company.
If he were to say that his parents and teachers shaped his life during his teen years, Elliot had shaped his adult working life.
Many have said that Elliot was cold, ruthless, and authoritative, but only those that had truly spent time with him would know that he was an honorable man filled with emotions.
Avery had been out cold for a few hours. She slowly came around.
Looking at the foreign room, she was a little in a daze. Her mind was blank. She could not remember what had happened, but she could feel the pain in her heart.
"Has she lost her memories?" thought Ben.
"Avery! Get a grip! Chad told me just now that your children are sad. You have to return to Aryadelle soon ;g)=YKY; console them," Ben said sternly, "If Elliot was still alive. He would surely not want to see you in such a state!"
Ben’s words made Avery remember everything.
Her mind was trying to protect her from the truth when she had suffered that temporary memory loss.
"I understand! I'm up! I can return to Aryadelle, but I will take him back with me! " Avery quickly got down from the bed. Ben pushed her back onto the bed.
"Look at the weather outside! It's still raining! The weather forecast says that it will be raining for the next three days! If I let you go right now, I'm letting you send yourself to death!" Ben could not let her leave the hotel. "You still have three children! If you were to die-"
"Shut up, Ben! Shut up!" Avery's face flushed. She said, "I'm not trying to die for love! I won’t die! I need to see his body with my own eyes! Only then will I believe that he is dead!"
