"How has your health been recently?" Avery did not want to continue talking about something so depressing and decided to change the topic.
"Not well, but not terrible either. At the moment, the doctors in Ylore are still able to meet my medical needs," Nick laughed." I heard that you've been studying for the past two years... Do you have a doctorate now?"
"Yes."
"Would you like to spend a few more days here? I'll show you around," Nick said." You’re not going to leave after you’ve just arrived, right?"
"Sure, if it's not too troublesome for you." Avery then asked, "I'd like to visit the Gould residence."
"What's so interesting about them? That house has been vacant for three years after the incident."
"Then take me to visit the criminal gang's den. Are any of their people still alive?"
"You seem to be quite determined to find Ivy." Nick narrowed his shrewd eyes and said, "The felons in that gang are all dead, while those who committed less severe crimes are locked up in prison. But don't expect those who are locked up to know anything. You won't get anything out of them even if you asked them."
"Then please take me to the prison. I'll return the favor in the future."
It was seven in the morning at Aryadelle.
Elliot was woken up by the phone ringing.
Before he could reach for his phone, Robert picked it up after crawling from the bed to the bedside table.
Layla had not been at home recently, so Robert became very attached to Elliot and went to bed with his father every night.
Elliot would never refuse his son's request, of course.
Since Robert slept with him in recent days, both father and son were getting closer to each other.
Elliot put his arms around his son
"It's only seven in the morning. What's so urgent that you need to call me at this time? " Elliot got out of bed with Robert and planned to leave him with Mrs. Cooper.
"I was thinking about calling you a little later, but I couldn't wait any longer!
Something huge happened, and I bet you can’t guess what it is! Haha!" Nick deliberately kept Elliot in suspense.
Elliot frowned and he started to let his imagination run wild. "Did Gary come back from the dead?"
"Pfft! That’s a bold guess!" Nick took the birdcage and got up from the reclining chair. "This is a hell of a lot more interesting than Gary becoming the next Lazarus. Keep guessing."
"No. I'll hang up if you don’t explain yourself." Elliot was feeling a little dizzy because he had just woken up.
"You're no fun," Nick complained. "Avery reminded me at least two times not to tell you about it."
