Avery had been like this ever since she had returned from dinner.
"Have I reached the end of the road? Am I really in such a desperate situation?" she thought.
Her heart was silent. She knew better than anyone about the dire situation she was in and the relationship she could not save. She could not save herself.
Even if Elliot regained his memories and called her to tell her that she was the love of his life, it was still pointless!
In the face of death, everything seemed so small.
It was almost two in the morning, and she was about to turn off the lights when her phone lit up. It was a message.
When she saw Elliot's message, her heart thundered in her chest. She felt like she had just returned from the grave!
He replied to the message she had sent, [ Wait a little longer.]
For a long time, she just stared at the message. Ten minutes had passed, and she was still struggling with herself. She did not know whether she should send him a reply or not. Another ten minutes passed.
A full half an hour had passed before she made her decision. She had wanted to ask him about his plans, but it was late. He would be asleep by now.
It was too late to send him a message. It was too late for everything.
If only she had told him the truth, then he would not have come to Ylore. If he had not come here, he would not have fallen under Gary's control.
Maybe if she had listened to him and left Ylore, Hayden would not have snuck over and killed Christopher. This, in turn, would have ensured Elliot's freedom. He would not have been bound to Ylore.
Step after step, all of them had been wrong steps.
