Ivy's words ignited hope within Avery.
If a doctor determined that a patient was dead, they would not make any effort to save said patient. If one lost the ability to breathe air independently, and their pupils were dilated, there was no point in treating them.
Just then, Hayden's phone beeped. Mike had sent him some photos.
Mike went up with the rescue team to search for Layla, and he took a few photos of the scene when they found Layla and Eric.
Since Mike had headed down the mountain, he finally had the chance to send Hayden the photos.
Hayden zoomed in on the first photo and saw Eric's cheeks were blue and he was wearing nothing but a thin layer of clothes.
"He couldn't have gone up to the mountain wearing just that…" Hayden thought and immediately clicked on the second photo of Layla.
Layla seemed to be in far better condition compared to Eric, and it looked as though she was merely asleep. She was wrapped in a male down jacket, which Hayden assumed belonged to Eric.
He instantly figured out what happened during the avalanche. "Uncle Eric gave his jacket to Layla," he said before handing his phone to Avery.
Avery grabbed the phone and stared at the photos. She gripped the phone as if she was holding onto dear life and sobbed into Elliot's chest.
Elliot wrapped one arm around her while reaching for the phone with his other hand.
