"That's right! Her father did give her the technology that he'd been studying. At the same time, he also gave her millions of dollars worth of debt. Would you want this inheritance if it was given to you?" Mike burst out laughing.
Everybody fell silent once again.
In Aryadelle, Elliot was dreaming.
It was hard to say if this dream was a sweet dream or a nightmare.
That was because he was dreaming that he was climbing a mountain.
His brain injuries had yet to fully recover, so, when he was halfway up the mountain, he began to feel dizzy, and he could not see the path under his feet.
To keep from falling down, he held the handrail by the side of the mountain road and stopped to catch his breath.
Then, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Hightide Chapel.
In his dream, he was the only one climbing the mountain. He might have carried Avery down on his back earlier on.
A voice was guiding him and asking him to look at the mountaintop because his daughter, Ivy, was there.
Therefore, even if he was feeling dizzy and even if he might fall down the mountain at any time, he still wanted to climb up without any hesitation.
In his dream, he kept climbing without stopping… He climbed until his back was drenched in sweat, and he felt like he was starving, about to collapse in the next second.
At that moment, the Hightide Chapel suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
All of his exhaustion vanished in an instant.
A sudden burst of strength filled his body. He let go of the handrail and walked toward the chapel quickly.
