Avery and Elliot were instantly stunned.
"Hayden, you found Ivy?" Layla yelled in shock.
"No, but I have found some news." Hayden had not wanted to divulge what he had found yet, but when Avery informed her children that Ivy might be dead, he could no longer remain silent.
"Hayden, what news did you find?" Avery's heart was about to pop out. Her breath quickened.
Elliot's gaze burned into Hayden. His voice trembled a little, "Hayden, where is Ivy right now?"
"I don't know where she is. The only thing I know is that they have not killed her. The crime syndicate knew that she was your daughter, and they did not toss her with the other children in the pit." Hayden told them everything he knew. "The person only knew that Ivy had been sold to someone rich. That person had bought Ivy at a high price, so surely he would not kill her."
This topic was clearly beyond Robert's understanding. He did not understand what was going on, but he could understand the word kill. He was so afraid he quickly hid in Layla's arms.
"Hayden, stop talking! You're scaring Robert." Layla hugged Robert. Her voice was a little croaky. She was frightened as well.
Selling and killing children, these words made her shudder. It was almost as if she was hearing a horror story.
"Hayden, let's talk somewhere else." Avery got up from the dining chair and walked over to Hayden.
