NovelOnline"Avery, I'm sorry that | went back on my word, but | need to go to Ylore right now." Elliot told her his decision and his reason," Ruby is dead. Our child is gone. | need to go and have a look." It was a huge blow to Avery! She had not expected him to give her such an answer. She had told him that she was going blind, and he just told her that he was sorry and that he needed to go look for Ruby and his child.
This was the first the had referred to the child as their child. He had officially acknowledged that Ivy was his child with Ruby.
Avery found the entire thing to be extremely ironic. She had suspected that the child could be hers before her eyes had begun to fail her. She had wanted to wait for Shea's child to be born before she headed to Ylore and conduct a DNA test on the child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow comical! How absurd! Although Ivy looked a lot like Layla, she was still the child that Elliot had conceived with Ruby! He said it himself! Her hand that was gripping her phone relaxed a little.
Ruby was dead. The child was missing. He had to go to Ylore at that moment to look for the child. If he could not locate the child in a day, he would be looking for it for a month. If he still could not find it within the month, was he going to use a year to look for her until he found her? Avery's breathing got heavier. Tears fell down her face like a waterfall.
"Elliot, if you toldthat you were going blind, I'll always tend to you first, no matter what!" gasped Avery, breaking down. "Why are you being this heartless?! Why didn't you tellthat Ruby and the child are more important to you than | am? If you had toldthis earlier, | wouldn't have bothered with you!" Since her phone call was muted, Elliot could not hear what she had said.
Elliot realized that she had been silent all the while, so he apologized once more," Avery, I'm sorry. | don't know whether Ivy is dead or alive right now. | can't leave her be and not care for her. | have already bought a ticket to Ylore. I'm about to board the flight." Avery was speechless. All she saw was darkness! She did not know if she was already completely blind or because his heartlessness had broken her heart! "Once | deal with things there, I'll return immediately," Elliot said when he heard the announcement. The flight he was taking was ready for boarding.
Ben walked over to him :d!;SMQ? hinted at him with his eyes to board the flight.
"Avery, givestime. I'll be back within the week. Wait for me. I'll apologize to you again," Elliot said while waiting for her reply. However, all he heard was the endless silence. He could not hear any sound coming from her side.
He realized that she might have already taken the phone away from her ear, not listening to what he said. Ever since he had told her that he was going to Ylore, she had been silent.
She was angry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBen saw that Elliot was still on the phone, but he was not talking. So he said in a low voice, "If she is not letting you go, I'll go alone!" Elliot thought that she was no longer listening, so he said, "lvy is my daughter. | don't know if she is alive or dead right now.
| must go there myself." Avery heard his reply to Ben clearly.
Her phone slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.
She turned cold. She hugged her knees and let the darkness swallow her whole.
Two minutes later, Elliot hung up.
He and Ben walked over to the boarding gate.
Ben saw Elliot's darkened expression. He knew that Avery had lost her temper at him.
"Elliot, didn’t you tell her that Ruby is dead? "I did. She said | was going back on my word," Elliot said bitterly. "Even if she doesn’t forgive me, | must go to Ylore.”
