NovelEnglishThey cdown from the mountain and sure enough it started to rain heavily.
The skies were dark. It was only three in the afternoon, yet the skies were as dark as the skies at the end of the world.
Ben looked at the rain pelting the window. His eyes turned wet.
It was summer at that moment. A body would rot in less than a week. On top of that, there was such a huge storm. Forget a week, the body would surely be ruined today.

He answered the call and Avery's voice cfrom the other side. "Ben, where are you? Have you gotten news about Elliot? | just got off the plane. I'm coming to look for you now." "Wait forat the airport. I'll cto pick you up." Ben quickly collected his emotions and thought about how to console her.
If she knew that Elliot had an accident in the mountains and that they could not find his body, she would surely lose it.
Avery was standing at the entrance of the airport, looking at the storm. She was antsy and anxious.
She did not dare to think what would happen if Elliot was really dead.
However, at that moment, it seemed like the skies were falling on them. She could not suppress her sadness.
If Elliot is dead, what was she going to do? She had no answer in her heart. The energy in her seemed to have been depleted as if she could fall over at any second.
At that moment, she was hanging by a thread, betting that Elliot was still alive.
Half an hour later, Ben appeared in front of her with a black umbrella.
"Why are you carrying a black umbrella?" Avery was sensitive and fragile at that moment. Seeing black objects felt as if she was seeing Elliot's dead body.

She was confused. She asked, "Have you found Elliot? Bringto him! Even if it's his dead body, | want to see it for myself!" "Avery, calm down." "I'm not going to!" Avery furrowed her brows, almost in tears. "How can | calm down? | planned to reunite him with Shea after her surgery >h&?SIW; explain myself. Now that Shea is recovering well and will soon be discharged, how could he die!" "I don’t want him to die either!” Ben was instantly overwhelmed by emotions too. ” But just because we don't want it to happen, doesn't mean it won't happen.
Avery, you are not a child. Not everything happens according to our will!" Avery's eyelashes fluttered. Tears fell.
She was stunned by his yelling. A moment later, she said hoarsely, "Is... he gone?" "From what | gather, he drove off a kilometer-tall mountain. There is no possibility of survival. | won't take you there. It's too dangerous. Elliot has already gotten in an accident. If you got in one too, what would happen to your children?" At that, Ben held her wrists tightly.
Avery's tears fell. Her beliefs were crushed.
She did not cry out loud like Bed, nor did she insist on looking for Elliot's body. After a moment of silence, her body went limp.
She passed out.
