"What do you mean by that? Why are you still pretending?" Ben was infuriated.
Beep—
The call went dead. Elliot had hung up.
Elliot held his phone. His eyes were filled with darkness, and they were unfocused.
He quickly thought back to when he had received Avery's call at the airport.
He remembered clearly back then other than what she had said about him going back on his promise, she had said nothing else!
Since he thought back too hard, his world was spinning. He was extremely dizzy. He truly did not remember her saying that she
could not see. She had not said that!

However, why was Ben telling him that Avery said he knew about it?
Elliot wanted to get down from the bed.
However, the moment his feet touched the ground, his legs turned to jelly, and he fell sitting on the bed once more.
He did not care about his dizziness. He immediately took his phone, found Mike's contact, and called.
If what Ben said was true, it was understandable why Avery was ignoring him.
Avery had ignored him for a long time. If he wanted evidence, he could only ask Mike.
In the end, it was the system's automated reply that answered his call. Mike's phone was off. He did not know if Mike's phone was
off, or if he had blocked him as Avery did.
He sat on the bed. His mind was a mess.
After his divorce from Avery, Ben had been to Bridgedale a couple of times, so what he said should most likely be true.
Where did it go wrong? Why did Avery think that she had told him she could not see, yet he did not know about it?
After a long while, there was a commotion downstairs.
"Tammy, why didn't you say you were coming? Stay for lunch, you two!" Mrs.
Cooper said passionately. "Master Elliot is still upstairs resting. I'm guessing he slept late last night."

Tammy took her child for his vaccination that day, and so, she stopped by the mall and bought sgifts for Layla and Robert.
"We won't stay for lunch. I'll cto see the children again during the weekend." Tammy said and was about to turn and leave.
At that moment, Elliot cdownstairs.
Jun smiled awkwardly. "Elliot, did we wake you up?"
Jun had been reluctant to cafter Tammy had scolded Elliot. He was still a little jumpy, although all they cto do was to drop
off sgifts for the children.
Who would have thought that his darkest fears would have been realized? It was a working day,
"Stay for a meal! | have something to ask you two." Elliot walked over to them and measured Tiffany, who was in Jun's arms. Then,
he looked at Tammy.
Tammy would surely know everything about Avery.
