“The doctor said that you only rescued me out? What’s going on?” Averie looked at the two of them while holding back his grief.
“When we entered the basement, you were the only one inside.” Ben Schaffer said, “There are two exits in the basement. The exit on the manhole cover was welded to death. The other exit was locked from the outside. Averie, listen. What do you mean by what you just said, before you passed out, you were trapped in the basement with Elyette, right?”
Averie choked and said hoarsely, “Well. The woman who exposed the corpse pit is called Sasha. She tricked me and Elyette into that basement… She said that Haze was in that basement, so we both went down. After we went down, we found that we were cheated. When we wanted to go out, we found that the exit was blocked. “
When Averie said this, tears fell.
“It’s almost as I guessed. There must be someone behind this Sasha. They must have taken Elyette away.” Ben Schaffer gritted his teeth, “Averie, take care of your illness, we will do our best to find Elyette.
The light in it dissipated little by little.
Now Averie doesn’t even know who is behind Sasha, how can she imagine Elyette’s current situation?
Thinking of the grief, Averie seemed to be strangled and breathless.
After seeing the doctor, Hayden entered the ward. Seeing that his mother was crying, he immediately trotted to the bedside.
“Mom! Don’t cry!”
Hayden took the tissue from Chad, trying to wipe his mother’s tears.
But Averie pushed his hand away.
“…I’m going to find Elyette…I want to see his person, but I want to see his body…” Averie grabbed Elyette’s white shirt, Put it on her lips and hide the cry.
Even though his clothes were already dirty, there was still his breath on them. This was the only thing he had left for her before he disappeared.
“Mom, Uncle Schaffer and Uncle Nick have already sent someone to look for him.” Hayden sat down beside the hospital bed, pulled his mother’s hand away from his face, and gently wiped the tears on her face with a tissue in the other hand. “I’ve booked a special plane to return to Bridgedale today. I’ll take you home first.”
“I’m not going home…I’m not going anywhere…” Averie refused Hayden’s arrangement without thinking, “I want to find your father…I want get him back!”
Averie’s voice was hoarse and her emotions were out of control.
Ben Schaffer patted Hayden on the shoulder: “Hayden, you go to the hotel to rest first, we will persuade your mother.”
Hayden didn’t want to leave his mother, and was afraid that after leaving his mother, his mother would disappear again.
“You are obedient. Your mother can’t be stimulated now, but your father’s affairs have made her stimulated… No matter what she says now, we must follow her.” Ben Schaffer pulled Hayden to the door of the ward Outside, he whispered, “You go back to the hotel with the bodyguard to rest first. I and your Uncle Chad will definitely persuade her to recuperate.”
“I want to take my mother back to Bridgedale for treatment.” Hayden expressed his thoughts.
“Hayden, Aryadelle is your mother’s hometown. Even if your mother wants to go home for treatment, she will return to Aryadelle. Your younger siblings have already returned to Aryadelle.” Ben said, “I know you don’t want to be separated from your mother, but you Respect your mother’s thoughts.”
Hayden pursed his lips, and after being silent for a while, he turned and left.
He is not good at coaxing people, and his mother’s emotions are too intense now, and he is a little overwhelmed.
After Hayden left, Ben Schaffer returned to the ward and closed the door of the ward.
“Averie, we have already sent someone to find my boss. No matter what the result is, we will devote the greatest human and material resources to find him. So you can take care of your health and leave the rest to us.” In the chair beside the bed, Ben comforted Averie, “It’s a big surprise that you can turn the corner into safety now. Hayden hasn’t slept well all these days after your accident. Mike didn’t dare to tell Layla and Robert what happened to you.”
“Averie, Nick has sent someone to Sasha’s hometown to find Sasha’s whereabouts. We also sent others to find Elyette in major cities in Yonroeville…” Ben Schaffer looked at her, exhaled, “If we can’t find Elyette, you probably won’t find it either. Your children are still young and need your company. I told Hayden that when you get better, I will send you back to Aryadelle. Layla and Robert have already started school. They are used to having Elyette around, but now Elyette is not around, so you can go back and accompany them, okay?”
Averie closed her eyes, and her tears couldn’t stop falling. She couldn’t hear a word of their consolation.
She carefully recalled in her mind what happened before she fell into a coma. Did she miss any key clues…
The harder she thought, the more her head hurt.
From the first night they were trapped in the basement, her stamina couldn’t hold up.
She only remembered that she had been lying in Elyette’s arms, because she was afraid that it would not last long, so she tried her best not to speak and save her strength.
But even so, she fainted.
She didn’t know that she passed out on the first few days of being trapped. At that time, she had no strength to look for her mobile phone, nor did she want to check it, because the mobile phone ran out of electricity on the second day they were trapped.
“If Elyette is dead…I can’t live…” Averie opened her tears suddenly and said these words of despair.
She was always reminded of what they had said on the first day they were trapped in the basement.
At that time, she deliberately didn’t tell him that there was a special positioning chip in her mobile phone. As long as Hayden knew that she was missing, he would definitely come to her.
Averie didn’t tell Elyette because she wanted to test his sincerity.
At that time, he felt that their chances of survival were slim, and his sadness and despair could be seen in his pretended calm tone and sympathetic eyes.
She asked Elyette if he loved her, and he answered her without hesitation.
She will never forget his affectionate eyes and firm tone at that time.
She had never been so sure of Elyette’s feelings for her, so she only asked this one question, nothing else mattered.
Now, she knows that Elyette’s feelings for her are more real than real gold, but what about others?
It was a huge pity that Averie couldn’t breathe.
Averie was so full of thoughts that she couldn’t think of anything else except him.
“Averie, are you guys in the basement, clarifying the misunderstanding?” Ben Schaffer asked, looking at Elyette’s shirt in her hand.
“He said he has always loved me…” Averie burst into tears, her voice trembling, “Me too… Me too!”
Ben Schaffer was stuck in his throat, wanting to say something, but felt that he could say anything.
Now Elyette’s whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Letting her know that Elyette’s love for her has never changed, it will only make her more miserable.
After Averie cried for a while, she fell asleep because of her weakness.
Ben Schaffer and Chad came out of the ward, and the two of them exhaled heavily.
“Brother Ben, what should I do?” Chad felt like a knife, “If I can’t find the boss, I’m really afraid that Averie won’t be able to come out.”
“I don’t know what to do.” Ben Schaffer had a splitting headache. “I feel that Elyette is no longer in Yonroeville. No one has contacted us for so many days since he had an accident, indicating that the person who took him does not want us to find him.”
Chad took off his glasses and reached out to wipe his tears.
Ben Schaffer leaned against the wall of the corridor, thought for a while, and then said: “You take Averie back to Aryadelle first, and when she returns to the child, maybe her mood will be better.”
“What if she doesn’t want to?”
Averie has to let her go back to Aryadelle if she doesn’t want to! Otherwise, in a few days, she will recover a little, and she will definitely try to escape from the hospital…” Ben Schaffer paused when he said that, “Hayden didn’t pack a special plane. Really? Let’s send Averie back to Aryadelle today!”
Chad: “Brother Ben, let’s calm down first! She’s already uncomfortable enough. If we force her to return to Aryadelle, she will definitely do extreme things.”
“I’m really not very calm now.” As long as Ben Schaffer closed his eyes, the dark basement and Averie’s grief-stricken cry would appear in his mind.
Chad: “Let’s take her to that basement tomorrow! If we don’t take her back to the scene, she’ll be there too.”
Ben: “Okay! We’ll see how she is tomorrow.”
The next morning , Averie woke up and saw Hayden sitting beside the hospital bed.
“Mom, do you want to go to that basement?” Hayden asked, “If you want to go, I can take you there.”
Averie nodded after listening to Hayden’s words.
“Then you eat breakfast first.” Hayden took out the warm porridge he brought and fed her spoonfuls.
After breakfast, Hayden took Averie into a wheelchair and sat down, then pushed her out of the hospital.
More than an hour later, the car stopped at the crime scene.
The road to the bungalow was leveled, and along with it, there was the bungalow.
Averie looked at the ruins in front of her, and the expression on her face became stunned.
“Mom, I’ll take you to see that basement.” Hayden pushed the wheelchair and walked a few meters forward.
In front of him, a huge pit appeared.
It was the basement that trapped Averie and Elyette.
“Elyette is no longer here.” Hayden looked at the pit in front of him and said to his mother.
There are almost no compartments, not even a few pieces of furniture.
