"No. I don't think your dad is still in Ylore," Chad said. "If your dad is alive, we will definitely find him," "But what if he's dead? Will we not find him if he's dead?" Layla asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Layla, if your dad is gone for good, you will need to stay strong because your mom is going to take it harder than anyone of you. Apart from your mom, you need to be there for your little brother as well." Chad did not want to say this, but words simply cflying out.
Just as Layla had suggested, if they could not find Elliot after such a long search, it was possible that he was dead. They simply did not want to accept that.
"I say this, but I still believe with all my heart that your dad is still alive. He is a brilliant and sharp man and can always overcany situation no matter how hard they are. I've worked alongside him for years, and I've seen him encountering troubles all the time, but he has always been able to resolve them easily." Chad meant to comfort Layla, but those words were said to himself as well.
Once Avery landed in Bridgedale, she immediately turned on her phone to call Layla.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Layla, I've traveled to Bridgedale. I didn't have enough tto tell you before I left." "Uncle George told me," Layla said. "Mom, I miss you already." "I know, but I'm here because there's something I need to deal with. I will chas soon as I'm done, okay?" Avery comforted her with a soft voice. "Layla, why don't I ask Uncle Mike to go and keep you guys company, hm?" "It's fine! You all have your own things to do and I have school every day, too." Though she was upset, Layla was never an unreasonable child. "Mommy, Natalie is a bad person. She said Daddy is dead so certainly that it sounded like she has seen his body with her own eyes! I think she got Daddy killed." Avery froze. "Layla, let's not alert her in any way since we don't have proof of that at the moment." "But I already did," Layla mumbled. "I cursed at her earlier today and she was furious." "It's okay... If she was behind all this, we will find proof, ?e'>YIR< once we do, I will make her pay!" "Mommy, be careful. I'm worried that something might happen to you as well... something happens to you, me, Hayden, and Robert are all going to be orphans." Sorrow overwhelmed Layla at the thought. "I won't let you three becorphans. Layla, trust me." "Okay, Mommy. I trust you.
After the call with Layla, Avery spotted Mike at the airport.
Once Mike saw Avery, he immediately said, "I've found you the best lawyer here in Bridgedale. Why don't you chto eat and get srest? I will take you to the lawyer tomorrow." "Mike, do you think that there's a possibility that Natalie Jennings is behind what happened to Elliot?" Layla's words lingered in Avery's mind.
"That's possible. Don't underestimate Natalie," Mike said. "She has no family to support her and got to where she is with her own effort Without a brilliant mind and willpower, she would not have becthis successful." S "She said Elliot is dead. If she doesn't know what happened, what would prompt her to say such a thing? She is being suspicious." "Natalie isn't going anywhere. Let's just handle the current situation first and circle back to investigating Natalie after this. You toldto look into MediLove Pharmaceutical and I've printed out ne all the information I found so that you can read through them as soon as we get home. But I would suggest that you prepare it after you get srest. After all, the of that family is just... well, a lot to catch up with!"
