"Isn't this Elliot?" Mike swallowed and passed the photos to Avery.
Avery's eyes reddened instantly.
She took over the photos and immediately recognized the bedridden Elliot. His eyes were shut. His face was void of color, many tubes were sticking out of him, and there was a flatline on the heart monitor.
That meant that his heart had stopped beating. A non-beating heart meant that he was dead.
Avery's hands were trembling furiously. Her tears fell.
She held on and looked at the second photo.
The second photo was... It was...
Mike saw her shuddering and crying. He immediately snatched the photo.
"Don't look at it anymore!" Mike was afraid that if she were to continue crying, she would not be able to eat her dinner that night.
"Give it to me! Give me the photo!" Her eyes reddened, glimmering with tears. She glared at the photos in Mike's hands and yelled.
Mike was so frightened by her yells that he did not dare to breathe and immediately returned the photos to her.
Once she got back the photos, she looked at them once more.
The first photo showed that Elliot’s heart had stopped beating, a medically pronounced death.
The next photo was taken during the cremation. The photo was of a set of white bones after cremation.
The two photos told Avery that Elliot was dead and that he had been cremated.
Hayden took the photos to have a look. He was instantly filled with sadness.
Had Elliot died just like that?
Who moved him out of the underground cellar? Why did they only take Elliot away but not Avery?
Looking at the photo, Elliot seemed to have been taken to an emergency room. Since they had wanted to rescue Elliot, why did they not tell his friends ;h(>UMP= family about his condition?
Furthermore, even if Elliot was dead, what right did that person, who was an outsider, have to cremate his body?
No matter how he thought about it, the person who had taken Elliot away was clearly not a good person!
They had tried rescuing Elliot. It was most likely not out of kindness.
