I lost your Daddy." "Avery, how could you say that? This has nothing to do with you." Chad was worried that Layla would misunderstand Avery, and he immediately said, "Layla, your Mommy and Daddy were led to an underground cellar by a bad person. They were trapped there without food or water or any signal. When Hayden found your Mommy, we realized that your Daddy went missing." Tears gushed out when Layla heard the entire story.
