NovelOnline"Hmm, we've just reached." Elliot took a bottle of water, twisted the cap off, and passed it to Avery.
Avery accepted the bottle and drank swater.
"Do you want to eat something?" Elliot took the desserts he brought over and passed them to her. "I'm afraid you might not be
able to eat anything tonight.”
Avery shook her head, pushed open the car door, and got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, she walked forward a little while before seeing the tape all around. Beyond the tape, there were many
people busy at work.
The pit was in the old cellar of a dilapidated brick house. The cellar had originally been used to store food. No one had expected
the crorganization to use it as a burial pit!
The brick house was dilapidated with tall weeds obscuring it. On the ground, there were many skeletons. Swere complete and
others were not.

Avery stood by the cordon tape, looking at the scene in front of her. Her eyes could not help but turn wet.
She thought of how Ivy would have died in there, surrounded by the bones of the dead. She did not know how much she must have
suffered while she was still alive. Avery was extremely heartbroken!
Elliot talked to the staff there for a while before walking to Avery. He held her hand and walked past the cordon tape.
"Don't cry. Our daughter might not be here. " He took a tissue and passed it to her.
She accepted the tissue and wiped her tears dry. She strode into the pit.
After getting closer, the smell of rot and mold becstronger. It penetrated through her, making her dizzy.
Elliot did not expect the smell would be so strong. He immediately took Avery and retreated.
"You need to wear a mask." A staff member passed them a mask. "If you're planning to head down to the pit, you have to wear
protective gear too. It's one thing being smelly. The most important thing is the number of bacteria and viruses down below
Elliot passed the mask to Avery before quickly putting it on himself.
Although the mask was on, the stink was still there.
Avery walked over to the side of the pit ;a*< SLU: looked down. Insects were flying everywhere. She could vaguely see the bones
tightly grouped together.
She retched and immediately took off her mask. She vomited the water that she had drank a moment ago.
When Elliot saw her. He immediately passed her a tissue. "It looks much worse than we thought it to be. | had asked you to come
and retrieve the body, but-"
"I'm fine." Avery took the tissue and wiped away the water stains on her mouth. She quickly put on her mask. "I didn't bring any
protective gear over today. Let's cback tomorrow." "Then, let's head back!" Elliot looked at how pale she was and, she looked
as if she could pass out at any moment.
When Elliot helped Avery back to the car, she could not help but glance back at the pit.
She did not know why, but she felt that Ivy was in that pit.

When she returned to the hotel, her face was blue and darkened as if she fell terribly sick.
Elliot helped her to the bed, wanting her to lie down, but she stiffly got to her feet.
"Avery, calm down." Elliot bent down in front of her and looked into her eyes. "Our daughter might not be in that pit."
"Even if our daughter isn't there, those bones belonged to other people," Avery choked and said, "Even if our daughter is still alive,
she might be tortured somewhere else..."
"Stop thinking about it!" Elliot felt as if someone was cutting his heart open. His eyes darkened and grief appeared. "It's all my
fault! | couldn't protect her well!"
"Elliot, stop talking about it! | didn't recognize my child. | can't blanyone else either!" Tears fell from Avery's eyes. She pushed
him away, hard. "l want to be alone! Lethave speace!"
Elliot looked at the tears on her face. He pursed his lips tightly.
He walked out of the room and gently closed the door. Then, he stood by the door, not leaving.
Soon after, he heard her crying.
