Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Avery, | haven't drawn the lines for you because | was being considerate of your three children. You all need to live on without Elliot." Gary's words were like bullets. "You should be able to recognize his handwriting. He has written down the names of the people that matter most to him, and your nisn't there. Whether he is dead or alive, you are no longer on his mind!" Avery took the notebook and opened it to find Elliot's handwriting. She was well familiar with Elliot's handwriting, almost as familiar as she was with him.
She read through the things he wrote and pursed her lips. Her words failed her.
Ben walked over to take a look, before asking Gary, "Why would Elliot write about this?" "He did what he wanted. It's not like | forced him to do this." Gary was fed up with the two of them. "Elliot and | have been friends for years, and | would never hurt him! Go back to Aryadelle now that you've had your fun!" "Gary, where is his body? Even if you won't let us take his body with us, the least you can do is let us see him!" Ben said.
"Ben, | won't beat around the bushes with you any longer. Take Avery away with you and go back to Aryadelle, then maybe you would still have the chance to see him again. Stay here and continue to bother me, and | will make sure that you never see him again!" Gary said impatiently, before getting up to walk out of the living room.

Maybe Elliot is still alive and they are trying to treat him..." "Really?" "It's just a guess. He told us to go back to Aryadelle, why don't we—" "You go. I'm not going anywhere," Avery said stubbornly, "I want to be alone. I'll just stay in the hotel | stayed at before.” "For how long?" Ben dragged her out of Gary's mansion and said, "How can | leave you here alone?" "Ben, I'm not a child. | just want to be closer to Elliot, so that I can find him as soon as | get words about him." Naturally, Ben did not intend on letting her stay in Ylore on her own.
"Your mom cto me." Avery changed the subject TNV? said, "You should hurry back and marry Lilith before her belly begins to show." Ben thought to himself, "What is she talking about? How c| can’t understand a word she's saying?" "Why is it my business whether her belly is showing?" Ben sensed that something was wrong. "Get married? You can't possibly be askingto marry her, can you?!" "Looks like your mom hasn't talked to you about this yet. Hurry back and settle your own affair before worrying about me," Avery said calmly. "Didn't you mention that Mike is on his way here?" "I'm not worried about you now!" Ben said furiously. "What exactly is wrong with you people... How could Lilith and | be... Her baby isn't mine! Why should | marry her?!" "How do you know it’s not yours?" Avery retorted.
"Because | never slept with her! How can her child be mine? | am so f*cking fed up with this! Lilith must have told my mom that she is pregnant with my baby, that's why my mom is trying to getto marry her! My mom has gone crazy about getting a grandchild to the extent that any woman would be good enough to bear my child! No way! | have to go back! Lilith is such a horrible woman!" Ben sent Avery to the hotel, before heading to the airport.
Avery did not check into the hotel. She simply held onto Elliot's notebook and stood on the foreign streets, trying to figure out what she was going to do next.
One thing that she was certain of was that Gary had Elliot. She had to take him back from Gary, alive or dead.
Elliot belonged to her, even as a ghost.
