"Okay, I'll go look for a place for her."
"Hmm." Avery thought for a while. "She's a lady living alone. Find her a safe neighborhood."
"If I find her a good place, will she take it for granted?"
"If you're worried about this, you can rent her a house first and you pay the rent," Avery suggested, "If you're satisfied with her, then you can buy her one."
Elliot's gaze was cold. "Other than you and the children, I do not want to pay for another person's life."
"I know, but she is your sister. Also, Nathan is not as evil as we think. If he didn't surrender himself..." Avery could not
continue her sentence.
"Go shower! I'll show you once I pick a place," Elliot did not want to continue the topic.
"Okay."
The next day, Avery headed over to Ben’s early in the morning.
Ben’s house door was shut tightly. They seemed to not be up yet.
Avery took her phone out and dialed Ben. At that moment, a shuffling of footsteps came from behind.
When she turned around, she saw Lilith.
Lilith had a face full of dirty makeup. Her hair was in a mess too. Avery did not know what had happened to her.
"You're Lilith, right? We met when we were in Bridgedale. Elliot got me to come to look
for you," Avery asked tentatively, "Does your job require you to work the night shift?
Lilith pursed her red lip. She unhappily unlocked the gate and entered the courtyard.
Avery followed her.
"Elliot found you a place to stay. Let me take you there right now! It's rather inconvenient for you to stay at Ben's."
"How is Elliot so kind?" Lilith mocked. "I thought he doesn't acknowledge me as his sister."
