At eleven that morning, Avery was awakened by a sudden pang of hunger.
When she woke up and saw the empty room, she was slightly confused.
Her temples were aching. She tried to recall the events of the night before, but her headache was so bad that she could not remember a thing.
She got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Mrs. Cooper was feeding Robert.
When she saw Avery, Mrs. Cooper immediately said, "You're awake, Avery? Does your head hurt? Do you want some painkillers?"
Avery shook her head. She had a headache, but it was something she could endure.
"Where's Elliot? Why can't I find him?" she asked as she glanced around the villa.
However, she was not as worried as she was when she did not see him for even a moment yesterday.
After all, the wedding was over. They also increased security, so he should be safe.
"He went out this morning. He said he had to stop by the police station," said Mrs.
Copper. "Give him a call if you're worried about him. You should be hungry, right? Would you like to have something to eat first?"
Avery's stomach immediately began to growl.
"You threw up twice last night. Of course, you’re hungry." Mrs. Cooper finished feeding Robert, then picked him up and planned to go find the butler. "I'm guessing you want something light?"
"Yes, please. Did I throw up a couple of times last night?" Avery only remembered the first time she threw up the night before.
"That's right! Don't drink so much again, Avery. You didn’t sleep until four in the morning," said Mrs. Cooper. "Master Elliot took care of you the entire time. I couldn't step in and help at all. You kept asking for the strangest things."
