They came down from the mountain and sure enough it started to rain heavily.
The skies were dark. It was only three in the afternoon, yet the skies were as dark as the skies at the end of the world.
Ben looked at the rain pelting the window. His eyes turned wet.
It was summer at that moment. A body would rot in less than a week. On top of that, there was such a huge storm. Forget a week, the body would surely be ruined today.
Ben's phone rang and he came out from his grieving. He took his phone out and wiped away his tears.
He answered the call and Avery's voice
came from the other side. "Ben, where are you? Have you gotten news about Elliot? I just got off the plane. I'm coming to look for you now."
"Wait for me at the airport. I'll come to pick you up." Ben quickly collected his emotions and thought about how to console her.
If she knew that Elliot had an accident in the mountains and that they could not find his body, she would surely lose it.
Avery was standing at the entrance of the airport, looking at the storm. She was antsy and anxious.
She did not dare to think what would happen if Elliot was really dead.
However, at that moment, it seemed like the skies were falling on them. She could
not suppress her sadness.
If Elliot is dead, what was she going to do?
She had no answer in her heart. The energy in her seemed to have been depleted as if she could fall over at any second.
At that moment, she was hanging by a thread, betting that Elliot was still alive.
