Minefield was self-explanatory. There were landmines buried in those woods. If one were to accidentally step on one, they would be blown to pieces.
Thus, Sean's words carried a double meaning: was he willing to enter the dark woods to look for her, and was he willing to die for her.
Elliot looked toward the dark forest.
He had made his decision in a matter of seconds. He strode into the forest.
Avery was feeling antsy as she waited in Sean's house. Sean had said that he would help her test Elliot.
Half an hour had passed. "Why are they not done yet?" she wondered. She did not know what Sean was doing.
Elliot had a strange temperament. "Would there be friction between them?" she wondered.
Emily stared at Avery. She noticed that Avery's brows had been tightly knit with worry the entire time she had been here." Don't worry Miss Tate. Sean always does things within reason. He would surely bring him here later," said Emily in an attempt to comfort Avery.
Avery nodded. "It gets dark quite early here.
"Yes. The weather here is quite different from Avonsville," Emily said and changed the topic, "The child in you is his, isn't it?"
Avery was a little stunned.
"Haha! You're so worried for him, I saw
through you immediately." Emily held
Avery’s hand and said, "If he came all the way here because of you, he still cares for you. In any case, Sean's tactics tend to be more intimidating than the regular ones, so I’m a little more wore worried that he might not be able to withstand that. If it does not go well, it does not mean that he does not love you. It could just mean that he has a little more self-preservation."
When Avery heard what Emily said, she immediately jumped up from the sofa. She thought back to the time when Elliot had abducted her and taken her to the mansion in the woods. She remembered when she had been so terrified by his men that she had run into a wall.
Avery did not want such terrifying things to repeat themselves again! Whether it was to her or Elliot, she did not want such things happening to them!
Avery furrowed her brows ?d+
"Miss Tate, wait up! I'll go with you! I roughly know where they are." Emily was afraid that something might happen to Avery. She immediately chased after Avery.
