"Avery, if you get the chance to leaveright now, will you take it?" Jed looked up to see a small bird flying freely in the sky.
Avery followed his gaze, looking at the open skies, and said cautiously, "Back when everyone was telling me how dangerous of a place this was, | ignored them. But now, | have realized how right they are. This place really is dangerous. You could die here. | don’t mind risking my life, but | can't risk the lives of others." She had been the one to ask her bodyguard and Jed to accompany her to Ylore. She had to take them with her when she left.
If an opportunity arose, she would not hesitate to take it.
"You can't just simply risk your life either," Jed said. "We will find a way. We will surely leave this place." "Hmm." There were fewer people than average on the streets that day. Although it was sunny, an ominous cloak covered the city.

"Do you think someone might be secretly following me?" said Avery, looking around.
The bodyguard following her said calmly," Miss Tate, all Gary needs to do to control you is to stop you at the airport. The only way you can leave Ylore is by boarding a plane." The bodyguard’s words enlightened Avery.
When Jed returned to his room that evening, he went through the contacts of his phone till he found Ruby's number.
After a moment of hesitation, he called her.
Ruby had told him to contact her if there was ever anything he needed.
At that moment, Ruby was sleeping in her bedroom. She had been up from three in the morning till late in the afternoon, and she was exhausted. So, she had gone back to her room to get some rest.
Jed's call pulled her back to reality from a nightmare.
She picked up the call and rubbed her throbbing temples.
"Ruby, Jed Hutchinson here. | heard your brother has passed away. My deepest condolences," Jed said politely.
"What do you want?" Ruby's voice was nasal and hoarse.

"lI want to get Avery out of this place. Can you help us?" said Jed.
Ruby laughed. "A few days ago, | begged you to leave but you refused. Now that Christopher is dead my father has gone mad, you want to leave? Dream on!" "Avery staying here will not be a good thing for you," said Jed, calmly reminding her of her circumstances. "If Elliot regains his memories, he will surely find a way to escape with her. If he doesn't regain his memories, he will fall in love with her once again." "I don't care who he loves, as long as he is my husband! He has struck a deal with my father. He will never leave Ylore. He will stay here for the rest of his life." Ruby had not slept well. She suffered a splitting headache, and she did not think before she spoke. "He has also agreed to have a child with me within the year! Once | am pregnant with his child, he will stay by my side!" Jed was stunned at Ruby’s words.
"Has he agreed to this?" "Can he say no? If he had not agreed to this, Hayden would not have left Ylore! | don't care how reluctant he is. | will have a child with him!" Ruby was no longer afraid of anything.
Christopher was dead. She was the only child left in the Gould family.
"Oh. Okay then!" Jed had mixed feelings. Avery would have been extremely upset if she had heard what Ruby had said.
Furthermore, Jed had yet to tell Avery that she was pregnant.
