Ben’s words worried Elliot even more. He was worried for Ivy too. He initially thought that Ruby would take proper care of Ivy, seeing how Ivy was her biological daughter.
However, if this time it was Ruby using Ivy to set him up, he would surely find a way to take Ivy away from Ylore.
However, if Ruby was in danger... He could not afford to assume things.
Ruby could die, but Ivy could not!
"Elliot, do you want to hear our conversation?" Ben was apprehensive. "I plan to find someone to get the recording of my conversation with Ruby."
Elliot looked up at him. "Do it!" "Hmm." Ben walked to the side and made a call.
Elliot looked at the time.
From Nick's place to Ruby's, it took half an hour. Only five minutes had passed.
Ben made the call, took a glass, and poured himself some water. He gulped it down.
The atmosphere in the office was eerily quiet. They both said nothing, waiting for replies.
Ben finally got hold of the recording of his call. He walked over to Elliot, planning to listen to it with Elliot.
Ben's finger trembled as he pressed play. They could immediately hear Ruby's voice, "Ben, help! Help me!"
Ruby's voice was shrill and tragic. There were some other noises in the background. "Soon! There's soon going to be a loud sound!" Ben's face paled as he warned Elliot.
Soon after, a huge bang was heard.
It was a gunshot.
"It's a gunshot! Elliot! Did you hear it? It really is a gunshot!" Ben's body trembled. "I don't think she is faking it! Her screams sounded weird. If she is putting on an act, she could be an actor already!”
Right after what Ben said, Ruby's heavy and terrifying breathing could be heard. They heard the crying of a child!
"It's Ivy crying! It's Ivy!" Ben had seen Ivy before. He had heard Ivy cry before, so he immediately recognized that cry.
When Ruby called him a moment ago, he was so distracted by the cacophony of sounds and Ruby's pleas, that he did not notice Ivy's crying.
At that moment, when he heard Ivy's crying, he lost it.
Elliot was much more depressed than Ben! When Ben called Ruby a moment ago, he had not called her. After listening to the call, he could no longer stop himself from making the call.
He dialed Ruby's number. The call connected but no one picked up;h";RMU:n's words worried Elliot even more. He was worried for Ivy too. He initially thought that Ruby would take proper care of Ivy, seeing how Ivy was her biological daughter.
