"Jed must have crossed someone," Mr. Hutchinson said confidently. "The fact that you and your bodyguard are fine is enough proof that something is wrong. That's precisely the reason why we didn't blame you for his death."Avery was inspired by their theory and said, "Apart from me and my bodyguard, he had only been in contact with people in the hospital.""He met with Ruby as well," Elliot added."Are you saying that Ruby Gould has something to do with this?" Avery scowled."I'm not sure. I only know that Ruby had contacted him before.""What for?" Avery asked. "What happened between them?""She invited Jed to the house, and I found out about it. She called him over then to get him to take you away."Based on Elliot's explanation, Ruby did not seem to have any motive to kill Jed. Even if Ruby had told Jed to take Avery away and Jed had refused to do so, it wasn't enough of a motive for her to kill him."There is someone who might know why," Elliot suddenly said. "Avery, do you

There were far too many documents for her to finish reading in Hutchinson's house, so she packed them up and brought them home."Avery, Ben is asking us out for dinner," said Elliot coming back from his phone call. "I will reject him if you are too tired.""Is Lilith coming?" Avery was feeling slightly tired but she was willing to go out if she could see Lilith.Elliot immediately asked Ben through the phone, "Is Lilith coming?""She's not done with work yet! She usually comes home at around nine or ten at night. Are you two not coming out to eat if she isn't there?" Ben asked. "You can still come if Avery doesn't want to! We haven't seen each other for so long, do you not miss me?"Elliot felt goosebumps all over his body. "Just come over to where we stay and I'll consider treating you to dinner somewhere nearby.""Do you know it's an hour's drive from where I stay?!" Ben exclaimed. "I am injured!""Hasn't that small wound on your face recovered? I thought you said that it's no

"Yeah. We came here to take care of something.""Okay. I'll wait for your call once you are done.""Sure. Go get some rest. I don't think you will need to wait up for Ben. Your brother asked for my permission to drink so I'm guessing Ben is asking him out for a drink."Lilith could not help but chuckle. "My brother acts that lowly before you?""Not lowly. Respectful. I will get angry if he comes home stinking of booze without telling me ahead of time.""Avery, you are really successful in training my brother.""I would tell him, too, if I'm heading out this late."Avery had just come out of the shower and only sobered for a few minutes, before feeling sleepy again as she sat down on the bed. After hanging up, she laid down to sleep without even bothering to turn off the lights.In the restaurant, Elliot took Ben's face mask off. The bruises on Ben's face were still visible and he looked slightly defeated."Can you even drink like this?" Elliot asked."It doesn't hurt anymore

Elliot took his phone back. "I haven't told Avery this yet. I figure I can wait for a while.""Wait for what, exactly?" Ben was already slightly drunk, but he had completely sobered up."For the baby to grow and see if her looks would change," Elliot said. "Why would my child with Ruby look like Layla?""Yeah! I am confused about that as well! Anyone who has eyes would be able to tell how much Layla resembles Avery. Your daughter with Ruby Gould might look like you, or like Ruby, but she couldn't possibly look like Avery!" Ben could not help but slam his palm against the table."Don't tell Avery about this, or anyone else for that matter," Elliot reminded him. "I promised Avery that I would never go to Ylore or contact Ruby again. If I am to keep that promise, I shouldn't even mention Ruby or that child."The more he drank the more awake Elliot felt. Every time he thought of how much that child resembled Layla, his heart felt heavy."Relax, I will keep my mouth shut." Ben set the

Lilith received a call from Ben.She had finished showering and was laying in her bed, scrolling through videos. When Ben's name popped up on the screen, she immediately jumped up.She answered the call and heard Ben stuttering, "Lilith... I... I am drunk... Can... Can you... come pick me up?"He even burped after asking the question.Lilith felt like she could already smell the alcohol even through the call."It's so cold out there. I'm not picking you up!" She rejected his request without hesitation but felt slightly guilty after that and added, "You can just find a hotel nearby to stay the night! Why bother coming back here this late at night? There's no point."Ben's heart sank at her affectionless reply."Aren't you drinking with my brother? What about him? Is he drunk as well?" she asked when Ben did not reply.Ben sighed. "Your brother wants to take me back to his place, but his leg has just recovered. I am over a hundred pounds; how can I lean on him?""Then walk on yo

"What kind of nightmare?" Elliot kept his hand on the jacket."It's a weird dream so I don't dare to talk about it," she scowled."It's just a dream. It's not real." He hesitated and said, "Was it about what happened in Ylore?"She nodded, before shaking her head. "I dreamt about Jed. I used to be quite close with him. Though we hadn't contacted one another for a few years, I felt the same when I saw him again; but in my dream just now, he was the villain.""The villain? What did he do in your dream?""He tried to stop us from being together. In that dream, he was on Ruby's side." Her blood ran cold as she spoke, "That's not Jed. He would never side with Ruby! He is my friend, and if he—""Calm down, Avery. Dreams are not real. He was not a bad person; if he was, he wouldn't have been killed." Elliot helped her back to the bed. "What do you feel like eating? I'll go buy it for you.""I said I don't want you to.""I don't want you to starve." He looked at her sternly. "I have ju

When she saw his face, she frowned and raised her arm.Sensing that he was about to be punched, he swiftly dropped her back on the couch"What are you— were you trying to hit me?" Ben took two steps back and blurted out, "I saw that you fell asleep on the couch and wanted to carry you to your room. What did you think I was trying to do?"Lilith rubbed her eyes at his explanation and said, "I thought you wanted to molest me. I was terrified!""Wait... Am I that scary? It's not like I forced myself on you when we slept together for the first time, right? I never force women!" he said."It's not about if you are scary or not." Lilith sat up and drawled, "If it was a face as handsome as Eric Santos' in front of me just now, I wouldn't fight back."Ben stared at her in shock. "With a handsome guy like him, even just staring at his face would be a luxury, let alone being intimate with him. I would feel like I'm the one taking advantage of him," Lilith said with a pleasant expressi

"Elliot, what are you thinking about?" She walked toward him and planted a kiss on his cheek, before continuing in a hoarse voice, "It seems like you are unhappy."Elliot beamed and smiled at the kiss."The snow outside reminds me of a lot of things." He turned back to look outside the window. "The snow remains the same but we aren't who we used to be.""What do you mean?" She scowled as she could not figure out what he was thinking."We will grow old someday, but the snow will always look the same," he explained. "I get emotional every year during birthdays and New Year's.""Hahaha! I'm not your age yet so during birthdays and New Year's, I will only be happy, and I won't think about these kinds of things." She pulled him out of bed and said, "I made breakfast. It doesn't taste that good, though. Do overlook it.""What did you make?" he asked."I fried two eggs and made some pasta." She shrugged. "There aren't any other ingredients at home. The weather is too harsh to get food

After Avery left, Elliot looked at the pasta in front of him. The egg was way too salty. However, at the thought of her taking the effort to cook the meal, he ate it. He took a deep breath and drank three cups of water straight, washing away the saltiness on his tongue. Avery and Jed's teacher agreed to meet at a cafe. When they met, Jed's teacher passionately shook Avery's hand. "Avery, I have heard Jed mention you before. He called me before he went to Ylore to look for you." Avery was a little surprised. "What did he say?" "He said that you trust him a lot, so he was rather nervous," Jed's teacher said. "Once he reached Ylore, I called him to ask about his situation. He wanted to protect your privacy, so he wasn't willing to disclose much to me, and I didn't ask him any further." "I was the one who told him not to tell anyone about my condition." "I understand. When I heard about his death, I visited his parents. They were very sad, but I didn't dare to ask them about

Did she add you on social media?" Avery asked. "No," Elliot replied without any hesitation. The second time Ruby went looking for him was through text messages. She did not add him on social media. "If she does add you on social media, you should know what to do, right?" Avery reminded him. "Ignore her." Elliot gave her the answer she wanted to hear. At the same time, he asked, "How does it taste?" "I'm not exaggerating, but your skills are as good as a great chef." Avery had a few bites and gave him her raving reviews. "You must have not eaten much at the Hutchinsons." Elliot had eaten dinner. He knew where his standard of cooking was. His cooking could barely be compared to a professional chef. It was at most slightly better than hers. "No. I came home full." Avery took a bite of food. "Although I'm a little biased, you really did well. At least this is qualified home food." Elliot was silent for a while before asking, "Do you want to get a checkup? I think that Jed d
