Avery was imagining Elliot lying among rocks without any water or food, covered in injuries, yet he could not be rescued.
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she got.
Tears kept falling, wetting parts of her hair.
A long time later, she groggily fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, a huge wind blew by! Avery was woken up by a nightmare. When she got up. She saw the curtains slapping against the wall. Thankfully she did not switch off the lights in the room, if not she would have been frightened by the terrifying sounds.
She quickly walked over to the window and was about to shut it when she saw that the rain outside had stopped.
The rain had stopped. She wondered how Elliot was doing.
She felt as if she had gone mad. She headed to the door. She wanted to look for him right at that moment! She had to go up the mountain to look for him!
"What if he is still alive? What if I manage to find him?" thought Avery.
She remembered Charlie Tierney had hosted an event and had invited them to the Tierneys. Back then, his leg had yet to fully heal. He had gone up the mountains near the Tierneys to look for her, but he had fallen.
Back then, she was the one who had found him!
At that moment, she was sure she could find him again!
"Why don't you try to persuade her first!"
"Of course, I will do that, but if she insists on looking for Elliot's body, I can stay with her here for a while. Just like what you said. I'll give her a month. If she still doesn't want to leave by the end of the month, I'll take her away by force." "Okay."
Then, they started their breakfast.
Half an hour later, Ben brought Mike to Avery’s room. Mike rang the doorbell, but there was no response from inside.
Mike took his phone out and looked at the time. It was already eight in the morning. Logically speaking, Avery should be up.
Mike furrowed his brows and rang the doorbell once more.
