Once the car took off, Avery swiftly reeled in her emotions and turned to look at Elliot. "Don't be too pessimistic, Elliot. We can't give up unless there's no other option." Elliot saw Hayden just now and noticed how Hayden was looking more and more like him. Elliot knew that he was an introverted child because he grew up in a suffocating family, but what about Hayden? If Elliot truly died at such a young age, he would surely fail as a father. He would never have tto make up for what he owed his children.
"Elliot, I thought about it, and instead of just staying hdoing nothing, why don't you find something to do?" Avery reflected on how cynical Elliot had been acting and said, "Maybe you won't be overthinking if you have something to do." "Yeah," he muttered. "I'll buy you a laptop tomorrow. You can use it to work or just do anything you want." "Sure." "Can we just forget about the fight we had just now?" She looked straight into his eyes. "Elliot, you can't begin to imagine how important you are to me. I really can't sit around and watch as you drift away from me. So long as there's a way, I'm going to save you." Elliot knew how Avery felt, and that was the precise reason why he felt as though he was suffocating. He could not stand idly by as she married someone she did not like for his sake.
At night, Avery stayed in the study to read through the research data of Angela's experiment, trying to summarize the bullet points of all documents. She would need to figure out the mechanism of the technique, and everything else would ceasily after that.
After a while, the screen on her phone lit up. She grabbed it and saw a message from Tammy.
[Avery, how are you and Elliot doing? I went to see Layla and Robert yesterday, and they were waiting for you guys to chome! I miss you, too ] Avery replied, [We won't be able to go back anytsoon.] [I heard. Is Elliot not doing so well?] [Yeah] [I want to go see you. I'm just so worried. It's been so long since you went off to Bridgedale and still, we have no idea when you will be back.] [I'm kind of busy and Elliot is in a bad mood] [I know. Anyone facing the ssituation as he would be in a bad mood. Hang in there, Avery!] [I will.] [I heard from Mrs. Cooper yesterday that George and Natalie's cousin, lLeah... they are kind of seeing one another. heard that the Kennedy family is quite wealthy, so they probably won't approve of George. I am just telling you this because | feel like most couples struggle to be together. Only the minority gets to be together and spend the rest of their lives together in peace.] [Don't overthink it and don't let this get to you. You and Jun have been through a lot to be together as well, so be sure to treasure what you have.] [Of course, Avery. Make sure you letknow f something is bothering you. I might not be able to help, but I can listen. Don't bottle up your feelings and suffer in silence. It's too tiring] Avery felt a lump forming in her throat as she read through Tammy's message. Her fingers moved across the screen swiftly and typed, [fam fine. I'm just worried that he won't make it] [Encourage him to. You are the only one who can get him to open up.] [Yeah.] Tflew by in a blink of an eye.
