NovelOnlineAvery called Mike and gave him that reminder because she knew that Elliot would try and gain custody of Ivy if he caught wind of
what was happening.
She had not seen Robert for three years, and she did not even know if she would be able to meet him when she returns to
Aryadelle.
Letting him have custody of Ivy was the last thing she wanted because she feared it might be difficult for her to see Ivy again in
the future.
Ivy might well be dead, but it was better to have a little hope than to immediately assthat the child was dead.
Mike knew what she was thinking.
The reason she and Elliot had a divorce was because of Ivy.
If she had known since then that lvy was their child, it might not have set off the domino effect that led to the collapse of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteverything. It no longer mattered that she found out the truth about Ivy being her child because her relationship with Elliot had
long since broken down.
After the call ended, Mike went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.
He then remembered that Avery wanted a photo of Ivy and recalled having saved lvy’s photos on his phone before. However, he
did not remember going to the trouble of deleting them, which meant that they might still be somewhere in his gallery.
Once he cout of the bathroom, he searched his cell phone for Ivy's photo and sent it to Avery before calling Chad to get some
information about Ivy's situation.
He never asked about Ivy from Chad when Elliot previously tried to find her, and Chad did not take the initiative to tell him either.
Moments after making the call, Chad finally answered the phone.
"I'm very busy today..." Mike's call happened to cat a twhen people at Aryadelle were about to clock in for work. It was the
busiest tof the day for Chad.
Mike never called him at that sort of time.
"I have something very important to ask you, but you need to go to the bathroom and hide!" Mike demanded.
"What is wrong with you? Just spit it out. What's so important?" Chad did not follow his instruction to go to the bathroom, not
unless it was genuinely that important. "I'd like to ask about Ivy. Is it convenient for you to speak right now?" Mike asked. "
Remember when Elliot went to Ylore to find Ivy? What happened in the end?"
Chad did not expect him to ask that question.
"Why are you askingthis during my working hours? Who told you to ask this?" Chad walked toward the bathroom.
Mike had never asked any questions about Ivy during the past two years or so. It was therefore so much more surprising that he
asked that question out of the blue.
"It just suddenly occurred tothat | don't remember whether or not she's ever been found. | guess I'm just thinking too much
because | have too much ton my h;f-; UKS>s.” Mike remembered Avery's reminder to him.

It was always best not to tell Chad anything that should be kept secret from Elliot. After all, the two of them worked together every
day, and if Chad could inadvertently tell Elliot about it when sober, there was an even greater chance that Chad would let the cat
out of the bag if the two of them drank together.
"Are you joking? What does this have to do with you? I'm appalled that you have the nerve to call that important!" Chad lashed out
as he went out of the bathroom. "You want an answer? I'll give you an answer. | have no idea because | didn’t go to Ylore with them
and | didn't ask them either."
"Them?"
"Ben went with Elliot. If you really want to know the whereabouts of that child, you can always ask him," Chad said and was about
to hang up.
"Hmph! I'm not going to ask Ben! I'll ask Lilith to ask him."
"Well, aren't you a smarty pants?" Chad praised. "I don't think he found Ivy though. | haven't heard about it at all, and if there
really was any news, | wouldn't have known nothing about it."
