Chapter 1318

Author: Simple Silence
She answered the call but did not manage to compose herself in time. "Elliot, I can't find Hayden. I asked the hotel and the receptionist said that he is not checked into this hotel."

She felt a lump in her throat as tears threatened to fall. She would not have been this worried if Hayden was alone in a different country.

"Are you sure you saw him here?" she asked in a muffled voice.

"Yes," he said with certainty.

"You've never forgotten about Hayden, have you?" she asked, "Neither have you forgotten about Layla or Robert..."

Elliot's breath grew heavier. "I am certain that he is in Ylore. You should be looking for him, instead of asking me meaningless questions like this."

"I can't find him!" Tears rolled down her face. "I don't even know where to start looking for him. He won't answer his phone! So unless he contacts me, there's no way I'm going to be able to find him."

Hayden was not a three-year-old toddler any longer. Ever since he had spent half a year studying overseas, h

So you left your kids in the hands of outsiders to train them because of a man? This was why I stopped reading this book because it’s teaching only weakness and stupidity

    Perhaps she should not have been so pessimistic. If she could not find him, it would be just as difficult for the Goulds to find him as well.After lunch, she returned to her room. Hayden had yet to contact her.She took out the CT scan diagrams and inspected them closely. She noticed that the tumor in her brain had gotten bigger. It was no wonder that Jed seemed devastated. Had she not told him that Hayden was missing in Ylore, he would have insisted on scheduling her for surgery. At three in the afternoon, Elliot returned home after lunch.He had a few drinks during lunch because Gary had invited a few clients of his to lunch and Elliot could not avoid drinking with them.He headed straight to the bedroom as soon as he arrived home. He was feeling slightly dizzy, and he needed some rest so that he would have the strength to look for Hayden that night.When he pushed open the door and saw Ruby lying on the bed, he froze."Elliot, did you drink?" Ruby set her phone down to st

    In De Ligt Hotel, Elliot did not head to the reception to ask about Hayden. Avery had done so, and if the receptionist said that there was no information, then it had to be true.It was either that Hayden had come to Ylore with a forged identity, or he had checked out from the hotel as soon as he spotted Elliot.Elliot had to find out if Hayden had indeed been to this hotel, and he went straight to the guard room. There he asked for this morning's surveillance footage. "What does the person look like, Mr. Foster? I can help you look for him.""A child, but he is quite tall. I can look for him myself." Elliot sat down in the chair and moved the mouse to begin adjusting the time of the footage.He only needed to check if Hayden had checked in at the counter and examine the surveillance inside the elevators to see if he had gotten into it to determine if Hayden had truly checked into De Ligt Hotel.Elliot keyed in the time when he ran into Hayden in the search column, but nothing c

    "I did! I said you are worried sick," Mike huffed. "Even if he doesn't go to you tonight, he will probably see you within the next couple of days. Don't be too worried. At the very least, he is safe for now."Mike's answer had eased Avery's mind slightly, but she still had to head out since she had promised Elliot that she would look for Hayden with him."I am going to De Ligt Hotel right now. I am driving there, so wait right here," she said to the bodyguard. "Mike said he told Hayden where we are staying. If Hayden comes to look for me, call me right away.""Alright. Meeting with Elliot should be safe, I'm just worried that you two would get caught by Gary Gould.""If that's possible, Elliot wouldn't have called me to begin with."She started driving towards De Ligt Hotel.About twenty minutes after she left, Hayden appeared before the bodyguard.Hayden was not wearing his signature baseball hat or black backpack. He just stepped into the hotel Avery was staying in. He was alo

    "He said he is going to teach Christopher a lesson? You told to him that I had been kidnapped?!" Avery gasped. "How could you tell him this? You know that he is short-tempered—""I didn't do it on purpose," the bodyguard immediately apologized. "He told me to tell you not to worry, and that he will look for you once he's done."Avery felt like someone had grabbed her by the throat. She began to hyperventilate. Her breath came in short ragged pants.The bodyguard heard her panting and asked worriedly, "Miss Tate, are you okay?! Is Elliot next to you right now? Are you still in the De Ligh Hotel?"After he shot all the questions at her, he heard the sound of the call being dropped.Elliot held Avery in his arms and hung up the call. "Avery! Get a grip! Hayden will be fine!"Seeing that she was about to pass out, he lifted her up and strode toward the car. Due to what happened, she had not been able to eat or sleep. She had been drained of strength, and her mind crumbled, causing he

    She did not want to be so undignified, but reality had hit her hard. She could not face the pain of losing him, and before she knew it, all her pride and confidence had faded."Tell me what can I do to get you to leave." He held her hand with his broad, strong hand and tried to move her hand away, but she gripped onto his shirt and refused to let go."Do you want to get rid of me so badly? The more you want to get rid of me, the less likely I'm going to leave!" She would not let him enjoy his life without her. "I don't think that Gary and Ruby are going to allow you to keep in touch with me!""Don't you want to send Hayden back?" he said.The two of them were both saying only what they wanted to say but seemed to know what the other one was saying by heart at the same time."I will just see him off for his flight!"He stared at the stubborn look in her eyes and was completely defeated."There's nobody else around right now. Why wouldn't you tell me the truth?" She could not unde

    Ruby lay in bed and waited from nine to ten, then from ten to twelve o'clock.She had slept through most of the day, so despite it being midnight, the did not feel sleepy. She had picked up her phone a few times, wanting to call Elliot, but refrained from doing so when she remembered what he said before leaving.Her father, her brother, and Elliot were all men; and all men were players by nature. Men could not possibly stay in love with one particular woman for their entire life.Since she was old enough to remember, she had seen her father dating countless women. Even now, he was still dating women. He would spoil his partner rotten every single time, but when he eventually fell out of love, he became cold immediately.Her brother was worse. He had gotten married at a young age, but that did not stop him from keeping countless mistresses throughout the years. He was worse than his father. Ruby's sister-in-law had fought Christopher a few times in the beginning, but she had soo

    "I'm going to sleep in the guest bedroom." He took his pillow and started walking away."Elliot, can you please stay?" Ruby begged in a soft voice. "I won't touch you.""I'm just worried that I might bump into your wound." Seeing how lowly her tone was, he said, "We will see once you recover."Ruby was instantly satisfied by his explanation."Elliot, there's something I need to remind you of." She reached out to turn on the nightlight on her side of the bed. "I did some research on Avery today, and I finally understand why you like her. She is really brilliant, but Elliot, this is Ylore. My father doesn't like her, and for her and for your own sake, it's best that you stay away from her. You can go out and find other women if you need to. I won't get mad, but I don't want you to get into a fight with my father over Avery."Ruby finally got a clear look at the hickey on Elliot's neck."I know," he responded coldly."Then why won't you send her away?" she asked. "You managed to get

    He sat on his bed in a daze, absolutely clueless.His father had sent him away two years ago to expand their business, and he has not been in touch with anyone here. "I've just come back, and already someone is trying to kill me?"Can it be Elliot?" thought Christopher. Elliot did not have any actual power yet. Gary was keeping a constant eye on his performance, and he would not give Elliot even a single shred of power if he mismanaged something. So, Elliot dared not make a move against Christopher just yet."But, who else could it be?" thought Christopher.The negotiation between the Goulds and Gary’s brothers was around the corner so those two would not do anything at this time either.Christopher tapped his head, troubled. He glanced back at his phone and tried to shut the 'death timer' off, only to realize that the screen was locked. No matter how much he tapped on it, it did not change. He could not shut the timer off, or return to the main menu, or use his phone for anyt

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

    Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

    Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

    After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
