"Now we no longer need to deal with Natalie. Dean hates Natalie a lot right now. As long as Dean found Natalie, she would surely be tortured," Elliot analyzed the situation for Avery.
"Elliot, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"Because I'm not sure if Natalie would take the bait or not," Elliot explained. "She only transferred the money to me this morning. I planned to tell you when we met at night."
"Hmm. How did you get her to take the bait?
"When you told me that she was the one behind the incident in Ylore, I got someone to look for her parents. Even if Angela did not die, I would still seek revenge on Natalie," Elliot said slowly. "But she did not take the bait not completely because of her parents in Aryadelle. From the moment she failed to get rid of us, she had nowhere to run anymore."
"Where are you right now?" Avery listened to Elliot's methodical tone, and she felt as if Elliot from the past had returned. The familiar sense of security made her let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm at home resting. Avery, I want to go back to see the children." He had woken up, so he just directly flipped the covers away and got down from bed. "I have not seen them in a very long time. I have to go back to see them."
This was not him discussing it with her. He was informing her.
"Elliot, I know that you miss the children. I could get the bodyguard to send them here." "They have to go to school, and they only have two days on the weekend," Elliot told her his considerations. "If something were to happen to me back at Aryadelle, it would happen to me here sooner or later. I can't stay trapped here just because I'm afraid."
She was silent for a while. She could not say anything to refute his statement.
"Then, I'll go with you."
