Avery did not think that that was a good solution, but there was no other way to hide Hayden. She would not feel safe hiding Hayden anywhere else. At least with Elliot, she could be less concerned. However, there was also Ruby to worry about...
"If Elliot told you to send Hayden over, it means that he has reached an agreement with Ruby," said her bodyguard, consoling her. "The women here in Ylore are quite traditional. They are taught to obey their husbands, and most women would have to take their husbands’ family names. Had Ruby not been the lady of the Gould family, she would have had to change her surname as well." Avery scowled, "But | can’t find Hayden!" "Have you tried calling him?" "I called him, and his phone was out of service." "Try again, maybe?" Avery immediately unlocked her phone and called Hayden, and this time, he picked up.

"How do you know?! You can't stay in a hotel anymore!" "I'm not in a hotel." Hayden remained composed. "Mom, don't worry about me." "How could | not worry about you?" Avery choked on her words, "Your dad said that you should hide at his house." "No way," Hayden refused without hesitation. "One more day and Christopher is going to die. They won't have the time to search for me then." Avery did not care if Christopher lived or died. She was only worried about Hayden and the trouble he might get into.
"Tell me, then, how exactly are you going to escape from them? If they can't find you in the hotels, they will start looking for you in all the restaurants!" Avery was on the verge of a breakdown at this point. "I'm begging you, please go and hide at your dad's for now. There are already people here in the hotel I'm staying in searching for you! | can't protect you right now." Just then, a car stopped right before her.
Aaron had driven Ruby here. She rolled down the car window ;e" "Avery, where is your son?" Ruby said hastily, "Elliot told me to pick him up.
Bring your son to me right now, or | won't be able to protect him!" Avery had not hung up so Hayden had heard every single word that Ruby said.
Avery opened the car door and got into the car.

"Once things settle down, you and your son are going to leave Ylore right away!" "I know." Avery did not have the courage to take any further risks. Once the danger had passed, she would take Hayden and they would leave Ylore immediately.
At three in the afternoon, Elliot returned home to find Hayden sitting in the living room.
"Elliot, he won't talk to me. | asked him to eat some food, but he just ignored me. The nanny tried making him lunch, and still, he refused to eat," sighed Ruby. "I guess he doesn't like me."
