Chapter 2732
Avery was on her way to the airport, and her heart sank when she received the call from Emma.She put the call on speakerphone so that Elliot could hear it as well. Unable to contain herself, she shrieked as soon as Emma answered the call. "Emma!""Ms. Tate, I can't reach Layla at all! She won't answer her phone! I just escaped the mountain, and I don't even know where I am right now... I've traveled so far to get a signal. There has been a horrible avalanche! I'm so scared!" Emma cried. "I don't know if Layla is still on that mountain... It's hell on earth over there!"When the avalanche took place, Emma was at the bottom of the mountain where there was a lot of space leading to different roads.The people around her instantly started running when they saw the avalanche, and since it was Emma's first time seeing such a disaster, she did not know the severity of the situation and stood still for a while.She did not start running until she saw waves of snow bearing down on her, an

Meanwhile, in Cambrode, Emma had returned to the hotel and regrouped with the other two colleagues, who were in tears.The team leader and the manager had planned to head toward the mountain but were told by the driver that all roads that led to the mountain were blocked when they got into the taxi.Even if they managed to move in that direction, the police were stopping people from approaching or taking photos, so they eventually gave up since there was no point in going if there was nothing they could do.To their pleasant surprise, Emma returned to the hotel, but she was so distraught that the only thing she could do was cry. The manager went to boil some hot water before picking up the menu to order room service.By the time the hotel staff delivered the dishes, Emma was exhausted from crying."Emma, take a sip of water." He poured her a glass of warm water. "It's warm."Emma accepted it and gulped down the water while the manager pushed a plate of food toward her."I know

In Aryadelle, Ivy did not find out about what happened to Layla until she returned home from university.Avery and Elliot took the next flight to Cambrode that afternoon, and as they were in too much of a hurry to tell Ivy and Robert what had happened, Robert found out about what had happened from the news, and he immediately called Layla. Layla did not answer the phone, nor had she replied to any of his text messages.Feeling unsettled, Robert called Avery, only to realize that Avery had turned her phone off.Panicking, he called Elliot, and as expected, he could not reach his father either.Robert immediately broke down in tears.This was the first time he could not reach his parents, and he knew that his parents would never turn off their phones unless something had happened. With tears welling in his eyes, Robert immediately called Hayden.Luckily, Robert managed to reach Hayden right before he was about to shut his phone off to get on his flight.When Ivy returned home,

Unfortunately, the two private jets owned by their family had been occupied."Robert, I want to get there right now as well, but if there's no other way but to wait for tomorrow's flight, that's what we will do!" Ivy consoled him."I can't sit still." Robert had class that night, but he called in sick. He began packing his belongings as soon as he got home. He did not eat when the servants brought him dinner. "Robert, I know that you care for Layla a lot. Let's chat for a while!" Ivy said.The servant standing next to them said, "Ivy, why don't you and Robert have dinner? You need to keep your strength up if you want to go to Cambrode tomorrow."Ivy immediately grabbed Robert's hand. "Robert, I haven't eaten. Let's grab something to eat!"Robert did not have an appetite, but since he was Ivy's older brother, he knew that he had to act strong.The two arrived at the dining room, and the servants started serving dinner.Ivy did not have much appetite and picked up a spoon to sip

Chills went down Elliot's spine when he saw the photo."Each car can only carry eight people per trip, but there were at least twenty people in the car when it fell," said the person in charge. "The cable car stopped halfway due to the overload. While the car stalled, the power went out, and we were waiting for the technical department to fix it, but they too were affected by the avalanche."After hearing what the person in charge had to say, Avery asked sternly, "Have you rescued the people on the cable car yet?!"The person shook his head. "The electricity hasn't come back yet. My supervisor said this is beyond their capability, and they needed to check with the higher-ups...""You are all useless!" Elliot roared. "Even if those tourists survived the avalanche, they would be crushed or frozen to death in that car!""Mr. Foster, we want to get them out of there as well, but we don't have enough manpower and resources to proceed with the rescue work." The person in charge bowed hi

Elliot hummed and helped Avery up."Go stay in the neighboring town. There's a signal there," Hayden said. "You can always move back here once electricity and internet come back on."Avery and Elliot had been awake for over a day since they had not been able to rest at all on the flight to Cambrode.As soon as Avery closed her eyes, she could not help but imagine all the horrible sights on the mountain and she could not keep the tears from streaming down her face.At some point, she ran out of tears to cry.When they arrived at the hotel, Elliot ordered food while Avery read the message she received from Robert.[Mom, have you and Dad arrived at Cambrode? Ivy and I are coming tomorrow morning. Call me back when you see this. I'm really worried.]Avery walked over to the balcony with her phone to call Robert back, only to find that his phone was shut off, and she assumed that he was already on the plane.She returned to the room and replied to Robert's message. [Your dad and I a

Avery felt a lump in her throat, not knowing what to say as she wondered, "Is he trying to say that Layla is likely dead?""There might be a miracle." Elliot realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately added, "Avery, we need to believe that there will be a miracle.""Do you really think miracles would happen to us over and over again?" Avery thought that finding Ivy was the luckiest thing that could ever happen to them, and she did not know if they were worthy enough for another miracle. Though she was hopeful, she did not know what to believe.While silence fell over the two, Elliot received a message on his phone.Staff had managed to find out the exact time that Layla and Eric were on the mountain, and since the time coincided with the time of the avalanche, it was almost certain that the two were in danger, but no one could tell if they were still alive.Avery leaned against Elliot and closed her eyes after seeing the message on his phone. "I knew it... If they

...By the time Robert and Ivy arrived at Cambrode, the sky was already pitch dark, and Robert hailed a taxi and gave the driver the address Avery had given him. The closer they got, the more nervous Ivy and Robert grew."It's been almost two days. Why haven't they found Layla?" His heart sank.He desperately wanted to call Hayden but decided against it, knowing that Hayden must be running himself thin in his search for Layla.There was no update on the family chat group either, and when Avery called, Robert answered right away."Mom, Ivy, and I have landed, and we are on our way to you," he blurted out."Okay. Be safe." Avery sounded less devastated compared to how she was earlier that day because Hayden had just caught the signal of Layla's phone.Knowing how worried his mother was, Hayden informed Avery right away as soon as he located Layla's phone.Layla's phone was located seven hundred meters from sea level, which was hardly good news.The leveled ground on the mounta
