Avery felt a lump in her throat, not knowing what to say as she wondered, "Is he trying to say that Layla is likely dead?"
"There might be a miracle." Elliot realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately added, "Avery, we need to believe
that there will be a miracle."
"Do you really think miracles would happen to us over and over again?" Avery thought that finding Ivy was the luckiest thing that
could ever happen to them, and she did not know if they were worthy enough for another miracle.
Though she was hopeful, she did not know what to believe.
While silence fell over the two, Elliot received a message on his phone.
Staff had managed to find out the exact tthat Layla and Eric were on the mountain, and since the tcoincided with the time
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof the avalanche, it was almost certain that the two were in danger, but no one could tell if they were still alive.
Avery leaned against Elliot and closed her eyes after seeing the message on his phone. "lI knew it... If they are fine, they would
have reached out to us somehow."
Elliot held her closer and propped his chin against her head gloomily.
Before they found Ivy, Layla was the focus of all their attention.
Ever since he had found out that Layla was his daughter, his heart had been tied to every word and followed her every action.
Elliot had spent a lot of tand effort on his princess, hoping that she could spend the rest of her life safe and happy, and he
could not believe that his daughter was involved in such a disaster.
Elliot was not the only one who loved Layla with all his heart.
When Mike and Chad joined Hayden and found out how severe the situation was, they immediately contacted professional climbers
to search for survivors.
As more and more people joined the rescue mission, the people who had been in the avalanche soon recovered.
Cold bodies were laid out at the bottom of the mountain. Their clothes were intact, but fear had been forever frozen on their faces.
At four in the afternoon, the technical team finally restored the electricity supply.
The sky gradually turned dark, and though the snow was not heavy, it had never ceased.
At five, they had restored the inte connection.
Elliot and Avery immediately headed to the hotel closest to the mountain as soon as they were notified about the restoration, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmupon their arrival, Elliot immediately said, "Avery, I'm going over to check on them. Stay here and wait for Ivy and Robert," he
pleaded while holding onto her hands.
Mike and Chad were on the mountain and had begun to search for Layla. Elliot could no longer sit in the hotel and wait for an
update.
Avery would have gone with Elliot if she did not have to wait for her other two children and said, "Be safe. Stay with Hayden. Don't
wander off by yourself."
"Of course." He cupped her cheeks and planted a kiss on her forehead. "I love you."
Knowing that he was mentally unstable, Avery said, "I love you, too. No matter what happens, we will face it together as a family."
Once Elliot left, Avery kept her eyes trained on her phone, wanting to get all the updates.
Since the resumption of the inte, Hayden should be able to track down Layla's phone and pinpoint her location.
