Avery's heart constricted tightly.
It was Tammy's voice. Did she not reconcile with Jun already?
"Tammy, what happened? Don't cry. Tell me what happened." Avery got off the bed and put on a coat. She planned to go look for Tammy.
"Avery, I...I can't...I'm...afraid..." Tammy choked up and stuttered.
"Don't be afraid. Are you and Jun still there together? Do you need me to look for you?" Avery was worried.
She could roughly guess what happened to Tammy. Just like how Elliot's father brought him trauma that affected his life later on, the trauma Tammy had after being kidnapped would affect her for a very long time, perhaps even for the rest of her life.
When Tammy cried and muttered the word yes, Avery immediately left her bedroom. When she left her room, Mrs. Cooper came out because she heard movement.
"Avery, it's already midnight. Are you heading out?"
No matter what time it was at that moment, she had to go.
"Hmm. I'm not sure if I'll be back tonight. Don't wait up," Avery said and strode off into the night.
In a European-style mansion.
Jun poured a cup of warm water. He got down in front of Tammy.
"Tammy, don't cry. Drink some water.
Avery will be here soon."
Jun's head hurt. He initially thought the hardships that he and Tammy faced were behind them. Who would have thought!
"Hubby, I'm so sorry..." Tammy hugged her knees closer to her. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. "I don't want to drink water. Don't care about me. Go to bed!"
Jun looked heartbroken. "How could I not care about you?"
"Woo, woo...I feel terrible just by looking at you..." Tammy cried even louder.
Jun immediately got up, "Okay, babe, stop crying. I'll go wait in the living area."
Jun placed the cup of water down and left the bedroom. He went to the living area. He was extremely glum, yet he could not tell any of his friends about this.
Jun closed the door and returned to the sofa. He took his phone out
