NovelOnlineLayla was not a clueless child. She had always been very aware of her public image. It proved that the telephone call had greatly upset her.
All this while, Layla had seen Elliot as belonging to her, and when Ruby had told her that she and Elliot were having a baby, Layla realized that Elliot would no longer belong to her alone. She felt as though her favorite toy was being taken away from her. No child would not grow upset when such a thing happened.
After the shower, Avery and Layla walked out of the children's room.

Robert had finished his bath as well and was having his milk.
"Avery, go shower! | will play with Robert for a bit after he finishes his milk before putting him to bed," Mrs.
Cooper said.
"Sure." Avery patted Robert on the head and returned to her room. After closing the door behind her, she took out her phone and located Elliot's number.
She wanted to call him, but she thought that it would be rather awkward if Ruby were to answer the call, again.
After thinking about it for a while, she called Nick instead.
It took a while for Nick to answer the call.

"Nick, it's me." "| can see that on the display on my phone. Are you actively trying to keep me from sleeping by calling me this late in the night?" Nick said gloomily. "I had just fallen asleep and you woke me up!” "I'm sorry! | was in a bit of a hurry and forgot about the time over there." "In a hurry for what?" "| called Elliot tonight and Ruby picked up." "Oh, Elliot got beaten up, and | guess he is pretty banged up." Nick sobered slightly and sat up from the bed to take a sip of water. "Of course, | don't know much about the details. Ruby has him, and she has not allowed anyone to visit him!" "What? What happened?" Avery scowled as her heart sank.
"It's a long story... We set Ruby up into killing Gary-" "Gary Gould is dead?!" Chills ran down Avery's back.
"Yeah! This hasn't gone public, and the funeral is supposed to be low-profile as well. Ruby was the one who killed him, so she doesn't want others finding out about this." Nick sounded a lot more lively as he warmed up to the topic. "I heard that Paul had beaten Elliot up, but it's still a rumor at this point, :f%=YMT? none of us really know anything!" "Can't you go see him?" "I can't. Ruby won't let me. Ever since she killed her father, she has transformed into a completely different person. | tried calling Elliot too, but no one answered! | don't think that he is doing well!" "I am going to look for him!" "Hey, don't come here!" Nick's head ached at how reckless Avery was and said, "Wait. If Elliot is indeed injured and in a hospital at the moment, he will get in touch with you once he recovers. Just wait!" "Nick, thank you for telling me all this. | came so close to being deceived by Ruby." "When | last saw Elliot, his intentions had not changed. He was still determined to go back to Aryadella and refused to stay there.
"Okay. | feel much better upon hearing your words." After hanging up, Avery could not stop thinking, and she could not remain calm.
She could not reach Elliot at the moment, and if he was injured, how badly was he injured? If she waited, who knew how long it would take, and what would happen at the end of the tunnel? She soon made her decision. She would go to Ylore and find Elliot.
