"He said he is going to teach Christopher a lesson? You told to him that | had been kidnapped?!" Avery gasped.
"How could you tell him this? You know that he is short -tempered—" "I didn't do it on purpose," the bodyguard immediately apologized. "He told me to tell you not to worry, and that he will look for you once he's done." Avery felt like someone had grabbed her by the throat. She began to hyperventilate. Her breath came in short ragged pants.

Elliot held Avery in his arms and hung up the call. "Avery! Get a grip! Hayden will be fine!" Seeing that she was about to pass out, he lifted her up and strode toward the car. Due to what happened, she had not been able to eat or sleep. She had been drained of strength, and her mind crumbled, causing her to collapse.
Elliot carried her to the car and lay her down in the backseat. He uncapped a bottle of water and pressed the rim to her lips, forcing her to drink. Her lips were slightly chapped, and he suspected that she had suffered a heat stroke due to dehydration.
"Avery, Hayden isn't a kid. He knows what he is doing. Just wait for him to get in touch with you. Don't panic," said Elliot as he trickled more water into her.
She recovered slightly after sipping the water.
"How is he not a child?" Her voice trembled as tears welled in her eyes. "He isn't even ten. Even if he knows what he is doing, he can't be held responsible for his own actions!" "I will keep searching for him." Elliot swallowed hard and said, "I will search for him in another hotel. He didn't use the name Hayden Tate, though. The receptionist said that he used an Italian name, do you know anything about that?" "Why would he have an Italian name? He is definitely using an alias!" "If he knows enough to use an alias, it means that he is aware of the danger he is in," said Elliot, continuing to console her." Go back >b->XNY> rest! | will let you know if | find him." She stared at his familiar face through her tears and listened to his pleasant voice. Things had not appeared to change despite his memory loss.

He stared at the tears rolling down her face in silence for a moment, before saying," Whether I've regained my memories or not, my plan won't change." "What plan?" She tensed.
"Taking back what's mine." He pushed her hand away. "I will return to Aryadelle once I'm done with what's happening here. Once | find Hayden, go back home with him.
There will be an answer to the questions you have. | will come to you when the time is right, even if you don't come to me!" "Are you going to take your revenge when you come back?" she said. "You don't even remember what we had between us! You've lost nothing, but you insist on playing the victim card!" "Avery, what's the point of dwelling on this right now?" he said sternly. "The most important thing right now is finding the kid!" "Our relationship is just as important!" She straightened her back to look more dignified. "Did Ruby move you when she took that bullet for you? Is your memory loss just an excuse so that you can get rid of me?! Why else would you remember your son, but not me?!" Elliot pursed his lips at her question.
"Well? Did you fall out of love with me?" She confronted him stubbornly. "Answer me! | have the right to know! | don't want to be kept in the dark anymore! Tell me if you have truly lost your memories, or are you just faking it? Tell me if you plan on spending the rest of your life with Ruby or returning to Aryadelle with me? You have to choose between me and her! | can’t possibly remain here in Ylore to be your mistress!" She wanted to grab his collar, but she only managed to touch the fabric before his chest pleadingly.
