In Bridgedale.
Mike has seen the article. It was not that he deliberately searched for news in Aryadelle. It was sent to him by one of the higher-ups of Tate Industries.
That was because the media made phone calls to Tate Industries asking if this incident was true.
How could the higher-ups know anything about their boss's private life? They only knew that Avery went to Bridgedale. They did not know what she went there for. They also did not know that she was kidnapped.
When Mike saw the news, he was furious. After drinking a cup of coffee, he still has not decided if he wanted to tell Avery about this.
Avery has been resting at home for the past few days. Other than coming out during mealtimes, she spent the rest of her time resting in her room.
When she came out to have her meals, her emotional state was much better than before Elliot left.
Mike thought that she was doing well in such a state, so he did not want to affect her emotional health with the news.
If this thing was not resolved, her reputation in Aryadelle would be completely ruined.
During lunch, Mike said to her, "Avery, how are your injuries??"
Avery was drinking soup. She calmly replied, "Much better." "Oh. It could heal even without medication.
How amazing," Mike said with a sigh.
After waking up the last time, Avery has not used any medication anymore.
"The human body has its own abilities to heal. Medicine only helps lessen the pain and quicken the process." After drinking the soup, Avery placed her spoon down.
"Avery, this is your phone." Mike saw her finished eating, so he passed her phone to her.
The last time when she came to Bridgedale, before she was taken away by the men in black, she handed over all her personal belongings to Mike.
She picked up her phone and pressed the power button. There was no reaction. Her phone has been placed for so many days. It had long ran out of battery.
"There's no battery. The charger is in your bag," Mike said, "Hayden's teacher has been texting me, asking when will Hayden return to school."
