As the doors closed, Paul and Elliot were left staring at each other.
"I thought you were one of the people who hoped that my godfather would die?" asked Paul.
"Do you expect me to tell you the truth?" asked Elliot.
"Haha! Why am I even talking to you? As long as I'm alive, I won't let you do anything to harm my godfather!" swore Paul.
"You wouldn't be able to stop me if I were to do anything to him," said Elliot.
"You finally admit that you are up to no good!" exclaimed Paul.
"What about you? Too bad you lost, Ruby loves me," said Elliot.
"Elliot Foster, don't think that you have already won. Your hubris will be your downfall!" said Paul.
Avery, Wesley, Shea, and Adrian touched down at the Aryadelle airport.
As soon as they got out of the arrival gate, they saw Mike at the airport.
"Avery, you are finally back! I don't think that I can hold on any longer!" complained Mike as he gave Avery a big hug.
"You look just like your brother! Shea, don't do anything stupid. As long as we are alive, there will be hope. You haven't met Robert, you don't know how cute he is, cute and naughty," said Mike.
"Huh? Naughty?" asked Avery.
"Robert is like a husky, the moment he is left to his own devices, he starts to take apart stuff that's around him. Mrs. Cooper isn't doing anything about it either," said Mike.
Shea bit her lip.
"Wesley, if you are so adamant about it, then you can get a taxi. Make sure to get your parents' forgiveness!" said Avery.
Gary, after going through hours of surgery, finally stabilized.
Elliot went into his empty room and laid down on the bed with his clothes on.
He immediately fell asleep. It'd been ages since he had fallen into such a deep sleep. Elliot felt as if his entire being was being emptied out and put back together again.
When Elliot finally opened his eyes, the sun was already hanging high above the skies.
