NovelOnline"My son says that it will happen soon." Elliot did not know what Hayden's plan was. All he knew was that Hayden was confident of its success. "Latest would be the day after tomorrow. Once Christopher is dead, the Goulds will be in a mess. | want to use that opportunity to send Avery and my son away." Nick sighed. "Your son is barely ten years old, right? Why do you believe him?" "Why shouldn't | believe him?" "We'll talk about it once Christopher is dead!" Nick sneered. "If Gary had not protected him, he would have been dead a long time ago! By the way, are you planning on returning to Aryadelle with Avery?" "I can't leave," Elliot said calmly. "My connections with the Goulds run too deep. Even if | were to return to Aryadelle, Gary would just hunt me down there. | want to put an end to the things we started here." Nick chuckled. "Great! A long overdue reshuffling!" Avery woke up at seven the next morning. She felt a dull ache in her chest. She missed Hayden. After hesitating for a moment, she video-called Hayden.
"Hayden, how are you coping? Did Ruby give you any trouble? Your father-" When she saw her son's face, she immediately blasted him with a series of questions.
"Mommy, Elliot doesn’t remember you anymore." Hayden held his phone and sat up.
She had woken him up. His hair was a mess, but thankfully, his mind was clear.

He remembered what Elliot had said to him the night before.
"He told you this?" Avery furrowed her brows.
"Hmm." Avery was not surprised by this outcome. If Elliot had remembered her, he would not have been able to hide his feelings.
"Mommy, once Christopher is dead, return to Aryadelle with me," said Hayden, remembering Elliot's advice.
He knew how to act spoilt. He had seen Layla do it many times, but he could not find it in himself to behave that way.
"What else did he tell you?" Avery was extremely curious about the conversation between father and son. "You had never talked to him in the past; why did you talk to him last night?" Hayden blushed. "Didn't he lose his memories? | didn't treat him like | would the past Elliot." "He has only forgotten about me. He has not forgotten about you or your siblings." "Hmm. | yelled at him. | thought he would get angry, but he did not," Hayden said. " How boring." "What was his reaction when you scolded him?" Avery was curious.
"He did not react. He told me to take you with me when | leave for Aryadelle." In a low Avery hesitated for a while before nodding her head. "Okay. I'll go back with you." Avery had been trying everything she could think of to get Elliot to remember her but to no avail.
Her staying here would amount to nothing more than torture for the both of them. She had run out of reasons for staying.
