"How has your health been recently?" Avery did not want to continue talking about something so depressing and decided to
change the topic.
"Not well, but not terrible either. At the moment, the doctors in Ylore are still able to meet my medical needs," Nick laughed." |
heard that you've been studying for the past two years... Do you have a doctorate now?"
"Yes."
"Would you like to spend a few more days here? I'll show you around," Nick said." You're not going to leave after you've just
arrived, right?"
"Sure, if it's not too troublesfor you." Avery then asked, "I'd like to visit the Gould residence."
"What's so interesting about them? That house has been vacant for three years after the incident."

"Then taketo visit the criminal gang's den. Are any of their people still alive?"
"You seem to be quite determined to find Ivy." Nick narrowed his shrewd eyes and said, "The felons in that gang are all dead, while
those who committed less severe crimes are locked up in prison. But don't expect those who are locked up to know anything. You
won't get anything out of them even if you asked them."
"Then please taketo the prison. I'll return the favor in the future."
It was seven in the morning at Aryadelle.
Elliot was woken up by the phone ringing.
Before he could reach for his phone, Robert picked it up after crawling from the bed to the bedside table.
Layla had not been at hrecently, so Robert becvery attached to Elliot and went to bed with his father every night.
Elliot would never refuse his son's request, of course.
Since Robert slept with him in recent days, both father and son were getting closer to each other.
"Handthe phone, Robert," Elliot demanded in a hoarse voice.
Robert immediately held up the phone and handed it to Elliot.
"Is it Layla?"
Elliot took the phone, glanced at the screen, and replied. "No. It's an uncle you've never
met." "What's an 'uncle'?" Robert lay in his father's arms with a curious expression on his face.
"A man who's older than you."
Elliot put his arms around his son

"Have you woken up yet, Elliot?" Nick had just eaten dinner. He was lying in a reclining chair with a birdcage in his hand. He was
playing with the birds while talking on the phone.
"It's only seven in the morning. What's so urgent that you need to callat this time? " Elliot got out of bed with Robert and
planned to leave him with Mrs. Cooper.
"I was thinking about calling you a little later, but | couldn't wait any longer!
Something huge happened, and | bet you can’t guess what it is! Haha!" Nick deliberately kept Elliot in suspense.
Elliot frowned and he started to let his imagination run wild. "Did Gary cback from the dead?"
"Pfft! That's a bold guess!" Nick took the birdcage and got up from the reclining chair. "This is a hell of a lot more interesting than
Gary becoming the next Lazarus. Keep guessing."
"No. I'll hang up if you don’t explain yourself." Elliot was feeling a little dizzy because he had just woken up.
"You're no fun," Nick complained. "Avery remindedat least two times not to tell you about it."
