Ben instantly understood the situation.
"Take some time off and rest, Elliot!" Ben picked up an empty glass and poured Elliot a glass of wine. "You've suffered through a lot lately."
Elliot took over the glass of wine, then said hoarsely, I didn't suffer through anything."
Avery and the children were the ones who were truly wronged.
"I know what you're thinking, but she's most likely still furious with you right now.
You'll get kicked out if you hastily run to her now." Ben could not bear to watch
Elliot endure that sort of humiliation. "Jun invited her to his wedding on the first of April. She should be attending. That would be a good opportunity to act."
Elliot did not respond.
He was not sure if he would be able to wait that long.
A month was not that long, but it was not short either. It was enough for a lot of changes to happen.
"Hayden and Layla should be going back to school soon, right? She probably will be back in Aryadelle soon, then." Seeing Elliot's long face, Ben racked his brain to come up with ideas for him.
If Avery returned to Aryadelle, then there was still a chance.
If she continues to refuse to return, things would be trickier to handle.
"She picked up a job in Bridgedale." Elliot recalled the folder he found in Avery's room before. "The patient has the same
illness that Shea did."
"Oh? What a coincidence." Ben was a little shocked. "Does that mean she won't be coming back for now? What a shame. Although, picking up this job probably means that she’s still thinking about Shea!"
It had not been long since Shea passed away. How could Avery possibly have forgotten about her?
