Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela chuckled loudly. "I want you to stay in a better place. It's late. Go sleep!" "Mom, are you planning to return to the Jennings? If you are, I can send you back." Angela shook her head. "It's late. I don't want to move. I'll give Dean a call later." On the way back, Avery and Elliot sat in the back seat of the car while Mike drove, and Wilson sat in the front passenger seat.
"I never thought that Angela had remarried a second time," Wilson said, breaking the silence in the car.
"Angela is already sixty. Who knows if she has remarried for the second or third time? Maybe even the fourth time," Mike replied.
"This should be her first marriage. I heard that she had never gotten married because of what she felt for Professor Hough. Plus, her daughter is old. If she had gotten married in the past, people would have surely commented on her daughter," said Avery. "The woman doesn't look like Angela. She should be her adopted daughter." "What you say makes sense too. That woman doesn't look one bit like Angela," Mike said before glancing at Elliot from the rearview mirror. "Elliot, what are you thinking right now? I'm very curious. It has been a long tsince you had been revived. Why didn't you contact us? If we hadn't searched for you, had you planned on living out the rest of your life in that blue house?"

Tears filled his eyes and he said with difficulty, "I don't want to." "Then, we won't go." Avery tried to understand the fear in his heart. She said, heartbroken, "Elliot, we'll go hfirst. We'll wait until you're willing to go to the hospital, then only we'll go." Twenty minutes later, the car arrived home. Avery helped Elliot get out of the car. In the living area, Hayden walked out.
The moment he saw Elliot, he had a strange feeling. He felt terrible. The man that was once unstoppable, proud, and arrogant seemed to have vanished. Elliot, at that moment, had beca completely different person. Their eyes met in the dark night. There was no sharpness nor sparks in their gaze.
