NovelAppAvery barely gave it any thought. While she could still roughly make out figures, she immediately looked for her phone.
She found her phone under the pillow and turned it on. Her screen was right in front of her, but the pictures and words were blurry! She fumbled her way to her contacts. She had many contacts. She could not locate Elliot's contact! The fear of powerlessness overwhelmed her. Two streaks of tears streamed down her face. Was she going blind? Had her previous sickness not recovered but worsened? She cried for a while before reaching out to wipe her tears. When she opened her eyes once more, her sight was slightly clearer than before. She placed her phone closer to her. She could roughly see the words on the screen.
She took the opportunity to locate Elliot's number and rang him up.
At the stime, Elliot and Ben reached the airport. They were about to fly to Ylore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen his phone rang, Elliot saw Avery's contact. He swallowed.
If she had not called him, he had been about to call her.
In a short moment, he was about to board. He was thinking about how to bring it up to her. He would not want to lie to her.
However, he was afraid that it would break her heart.
Who is it?" Ben heard Elliot's phone ring but noticed that he did not pick up the call, so he moved in closer to have a look. When he saw Avery's name, Ben instantly gasped. "You better tell her! If not, she will be worried that you're not back here tonight." Then Ben knowingly went to the side so Elliot could have sprivacy to talk on the phone.
Elliot answered the call and said, "Avery, I'm going to Ylore." On the other end of the line, Avery's words were suddenly stuck in her throat.
Elliot was going to Ylore? Did he say he was going to Ylore? Avery's tears blurred her sight. She could not tell if her eyesight was blurry because of the tears or because her condition had worsened.
"Why?" Avery asked.
"Avery, I'm sorry. | promised you that | would never go to Ylore for the rest of my life. | never forgot my promise to you, but, this time, something has happened..." Elliot was halfway through his explanation when he heard her muffled cries.
Avery was crying! He only said he was going to Ylore. Before he could even tell her the reason why, she had burst into tears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could he continue boarding the flight to Ylore? "Did Ruby use the child to threaten you? | knew this would happen. Elliot, your promises mean nothing!" Avery cried ;g(=QKP= accidentally touched the mute button.
From that moment onward, her call was muted. She could hear the sounds from Elliot, but Elliot could no longer hear her.
When Elliot heard her cries, he was heartbroken.
"Why aren't you askingwhy I'm calling you?" At the thought that she was going blind, and that he was going to Ylore to see Ruby and that child when she needed him the most, Avery lost it.
She was afraid of darkness. She was afraid that he would leave, so she cried and screamed, "Elliot, | can't see! | might be going blind! Are you still going to Ylore? If you think that Ruby and the child are more important, then go!" She thought that, once she said that, he would surely give up going to Ylore. He would surely look for her and send her to the hospital.
Elliot held on to his phone. His mind was replaying what she had said to him a moment ago. He did not notice that no sounds were coming from her side, not even crying sounds.
He only heard her say that his promises meant nothing.
