Of course, Elliot understood this, but he was not as nervous as Avery.
Ivy was his daughter. He would not regret sacrificing his life for her.
However, he would not say such a thing out loud. If he were to say it, Avery would surely be angry.
"Too bad." Elliot swallowed. He said, "We've suffered for so long, but we still haven't heard any news about Ivy."
"I refused to believe it, but now, we just have to accept that we won't find her… no matter how hard we try. We have to accept this fact."
Elliot listened quietly without saying anything.
"Elliot, let's put lay this matter to rest! We still have to continue living." Avery looked at him. She knew what he was thinking.
All this while, he had been able to get anything he wanted. He had never suffered defeat. It was natural that he would not easily give up his search for Ivy.
"Hmm." Elliot agreed because he did not want her to worry. He did not want her to be tormented by Ivy.
"Do you want to eat something?" Avery had brought him breakfast.
Mrs. Cooper had gotten up at three in the morning that day to make soup so that Avery could bring it over for Elliot.
"Mrs. Cooper had initially wanted to come and visit you, but she didn't sleep much last night because she was making soup for you. She said that the soup would taste better if she simmered it over fire. I thought that she worked too hard, so I got her to rest." Avery opened the thermos and a delicious scent filled the room.
Elliot suddenly felt hungry.
