His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2482

Hayden's hand, which had been resting on the table, twitched, and everyone admitted defeat.

"Alright! I'll donate it! It's good to do some charity from time to time!" Edward flushed angrily and said reluctantly.

"Since Edward agrees, I will donate my portion as well," Ted said.

"Are you disappointed in me, Elliot?" Nick asked.

"I can't be bothered to feel disappointed. I just want to find my daughter." Elliot had chosen not to spend New Year's with his family and hurry to Ylore because he wanted to settle this as soon as possible.

"Why are you so stubborn? You still have Layla, right? If Ivy's gone for good, just let it be! If you want another daughter, you and your wife can make another! Is it really worth exhausting yourself to this extent over her?" Edward said. "Sons are the most important children. Your son is talented, and I would be over the moon if I were you!"

"Sons and daughters are equally important!" Elliot said. "Had I known that Ivy was my daughter, I would not have been so cold to her after she was born. I want to make it up to her!"

"But what can you do if you can't find her? It's so easy if someone wants to hide a child that small!" Ted said. "She might be dead by now. Children drop like flies. I've had a few kids die."

Both Elliot and Hayden were rendered speechless.

"My first child died in childbirth because of suffocation. My second child was born after that but was unlucky enough to choke to death while eating. The third one went playing in a lake and drowned..." Ted's expression darkened as he thought back to his lost children.

"If Ivy is still alive, why is it so hard to find her? We all already know that Juliet bought her, so why can't we find any leads?" Ted said, before coming to a realization. "I think she's dead! Just stop looking! If she's still alive, she will come to you when she is older."

Elliot did not have much of an appetite to begin with and had completely lost interest in his food at Ted's comment.
