NovelApp"I couldn't sleep, so I was researching albinism. This call is most likely a prank call." Avery placed her phone on the table and got up. She walked over to Elliot. "Go back to sleep! It's still early. Letescort you back to your room." "I can't sleep anymore, but I don't know what to do either. It feels a little scary when I imagine my retirement." During the the was being forced to rest, Elliot was trying to cultivate as many interests as he could when he was not working.
It was a pity that, other than work, he had not much interest in other things.
"Why don't you try fishing?" Avery suggested. "I saw the news today. A man tried climbing over the fence to go fishing. Something like, because his wife doesn't like fishing, he had to secretly sneak out to go fishing." "Are you sure he snuck out in the middle of the night to go fishing and not for something else?" Elliot asked. "What is he doing fishing at night? He can't even see the float. Is he fishing blindly?" Avery was speechless.
Elliot said firmly, "He was most likely sneaking out to have an affair." Avery said, "But the photo in the news... He had fishing tools with him! If he went out to have an affair, why did he bring fishing tools?" Elliot looked like he did not understand the world.

She let go of Elliot and walked over to her desk. She saw that it was the snumber as before.
If it was a prank call, they would not call her a second time.
"Is it still the snumber as before?" Elliot stood in the sspot and asked her.
"Hmm... Letanswer it," Avery said and answered the call.
Elliot stood by the door of the study. He did not go closer to listen in, but he also did not plan to leave.
"Hello, is this Miss Tate?" An old voice cfrom the other end of the line.
It did not sound like a prank call.
Avery immediately responded, "This is Avery Tate. May I know who you are?" "I would like to ask if Rose is still doing fine. Can she cto the phone?" The old woman had relented in the end and had brought Irene outside. She had borrowed someone's phone to call Avery.
The old woman actually had a phone, but she did not want to provide any personal information to Avery.

"You're Irene's grandma, right?" e Avery smiled widely. Her tone was friendly, too. have been waiting for you all to call me. Rose went up the hill yesterday. She didn't see Irene, so she cried sadly. But Rose is not at hright now. She has been adopted. The people who adopted her were close relatives of mine. How are you and Irene right now? Why don't we meet up? I can take Rose to see you all, or I could send someone to pick you up at our house." Avery's offer was generous.
She did not expect the old woman to not agree to meet her after hearing what she had said.
"Who did you give Rose to? Are they reliable? Miss Tate, Rose has a condition! How could you simply give her away to others?" The old woman was unhappy.
"Grandma, don't worry. The husband of the couple that adopted Rose is a doctor, and the wife is my husband's sister. They are extremely good people. Rose would surely receive great care being with them "Oh! A doctor That's fine, then," the old woman said and was about to hang up. I'm only calling you to ask about Rose. I mean nothing else. Irene is doing well. Ask Rose not to miss her. They'll meet again in the future if it's meant to be!" "Are you planning to take Irene far away?" Avery felt a little sorry.
"Yes. Don't look for us," the old woman said and hung up.
