He bought a flight ticket to Ylore that would depart at three o'clock in the afternoon.
However, Lilith's arrival disrupted his travel plan.
"Hayden, I'm so sorry to trouble your Aunt. Lilith didn’t want to stay at my house, so | brought her here. I'll explain to your mom later," said Ben.

"The child is gone," Ben told Hayden after Lilith had walked far away, "She was set up by a young lady who used to live next door to me." "Scram! | don't want to see you," Hayden did not want to hear any more sentences from Ben.
Ben felt guilty when he heard Hayden. He wanted to say something but he knew that whatever he said would only be superfluous to Hayden.
After Ben had left, Hayden put his backpack down in his room Mrs. Cooper was curious when she bumped into Hayden in the living room, "Didn't you say you were going to Layla's place? Don’t worry about your aunt. I'll take care of her." However, Mrs. Cooper did not know that Layla had followed Eric to an event.
Layla had promised Hayden that she would lie to Mrs. Cooper so he could fly to Ylore to see Avery.
"It's tomorrow," Hayden replied as he walked to Lilith's room.
Although he did not like Elliot personally, he was clear that Lilith and Elliot were different in character, despite the fact that they were blood-related siblings.
He was sympathetic toward Lilith, thus he was willing to treat her better.
Coincidentally, when Hayden was about to knock, Lilith opened the door from inside.
"Hayden, is he gone?" "Yeah." "My child is gone." Unexpectedly, Lilith hugged Hayden, "I'm a bit sad, but when | think about how the child would distress everyone if they were born, | don't feel that sad anymore. I'm so confused right now. | really want to be a great mom, like your mom." Hayden put down her arms, "I can help you, " he paused :e(=UJV; said, "But you have to go back to Bridgedale."

Back in the hospital where Ruby had her surgery, she woke up in the middle of the night and saw a man lying on the table sleeping next to her.
She was in a daze, therefore she thought the man was Elliot, "Elliot..." Jed woke up immediately when he heard Ruby's voice.
Then, they both stared into each other's eyes.
Soon, Ruby screamed in fright when she realized the man who was staring at her was not Elliot, but a stranger.

"Stop it! I'm not a bad guy!" Ruby's scream gave Jed a headache. He then explained, "I wanted to leave, but Elliot never came! | can’t leave you alone in the ward, right?" Ruby calmed down as soon as she heard Jed mention Elliot.
'So he's Elliot's friend,” she thought.
"My name is Jed. I'm Avery's schoolmate," Jed introduced himself to Ruby, "I was here for Elliot, but he never returned after he left. None of your family members came too. | really want to go... Do you want to call them now? | really have to go now!" Jed peeked at the time on his phone while he spoke.
It was already three o'clock in the morning.
Jed was still worried about Avery's safety. He wondered if she had reached the hotel safely.
He still had her phone with him, so he thought of going back to check the situation.
"You stand by Avery, don't you?" She asked in a weak voice and with a pair of dull eyes, "You came on behalf of Avery, didn’t you?!" "Yeah, she was kidnapped tonight. It was very urgent, so | came here to seek help from Elliot," Jed admitted, "Forget it, I'll call the nurse for you!"
