After the two came down from the mountain, as expected, it rained heavily.
It’s getting dark.
It’s only three o’clock in the afternoon, and the sky is dark, as if the end of the world.
Ben Schaffer looked at the rain that was constantly beating on the car window, and his eyes were wet.
It’s summer, and the body was exposed to the wild, and within a week, it’s completely decomposed.
There was such a strong rainstorm now… let alone a week, after today, the remains would definitely be
completely destroyed.
When the phone rang, his emotions pulled away from his grief. He took out his phone and reached out to
wipe the tears from his eyes.
He answered the phone, and Avery’s voice came from the other side: “Ben Schaffer, where are you?
Have you found the news about Elliot? I just got off the plane, and I’m going to find you now.”
“You’re staying at the airport. Don’t move, I’ll pick you up.” Ben Schaffer quickly adjusted his mood and
began to think about how to settle her.
If Avery was told of Elliot’s car accident on the mountain and her body could not be found, she would
definitely collapse.
……
Avery stood at the gate of the airport, looking at the pouring rain in front of her, feeling restless in her
heart. She never dared to think about what would happen if Elliot really died.
But now, looking at the sky that seemed to be falling down, she couldn’t restrain her pessimism and
frustration.
If Elliot is really dead…what should she do…
In her heart, there was no answer.
The strength in the body seems to be drained, and the body seems to fall down at any time.
She was now hanging on with one breath, she was still alive in gambling Elliot.
About half an hour later, Ben Schaffer appeared in front of her with a black umbrella.
“Why hold a black umbrella?” Avery is now sensitive and vulnerable. Seeing something black was like
seeing Elliot’s body.
Ben Schaffer made an excuse, “I bought it on the side of the road. Let’s go in and sit.”
Ben Schaffer put away the umbrella and pulled her into the airport lobby.
Avery was puzzled and said in confusion, “Have you found Elliot’s whereabouts? You take me to see
him. Even if it is his body, I will see him with my own eyes.”
Ben Schaffer: “Avery, calm down first.”
“I can’t calm down.” Avery frowned and almost cried, “How can I calm down? I planned to bring Shea to
him after the operation is successful, and explain to him clearly… Now Shea is recovering very well and
will be discharged soon, how can Elliot die?”
“I don’t want him to die either.” Ben Schaffer’s strong reason was instantly disintegrated, “But is this
something we can’t do if we don’t want it? Avery, you are not a child anymore, not everything can happen
according to our wishes.”
Avery’s eyelashes trembled and tears rolled down. She was startled by his roar.
After a while, she made a hoarse voice from her throat: “He… is gone?”
“This is the situation I have at the moment. Elliot fell from a mountain of thousands of meters with people
and car, and he didn’t survive. Possibly. I won’t let you go to that mountain, it’s too dangerous. Elliot has
already had an accident, if you have another accident, what will happen to your children?”
Ben Schaffer said here, tightening her wrist hold.
Avery burst into tears and her faith collapsed. She didn’t cry like Ben Schaffer imagined, nor was she
heartbroken to find Elliot’s body.
Because after a brief silence, her body softened and she fainted.
