Chapter 397 There was only the endless vast forest. There were many wild beasts in the forest. Even in the daytime, there is a chance that one might face an attack, but at night it was almost a guarantee.
Under the protection of the bodyguards, Elliot entered the unknown and terrifying forest.
He held the torch in his hand. The light penetrated the darkness, revealing a forest full of vines and branches. Desperation rose in his heart!
How did she dare?! How did she dare to step into the forest? Did she really think that she could leave this forest alive?
If she knew it was a road to death, why did she not turn back? Even if she had managed to escape the mansion, she could have just turned back? He would not have been that angry with her.
“Avery!” He swallowed and yelled out her name with a trembling voice!
After his yells, the bodyguards yelled too, “Miss Tate! We’re coming for you! If you hear us, please respond!”
The only thing that responded to their cries were the calls of the animals, the howling winds, and the rustling of the forest.
After advancing with difficulty for about twenty more minutes, the torch shone on a robe on the ground!
It was the robe that Avery was wearing!
That afternoon, after washing her up, he had no clothes for her to change into, so Elliot had bundled her in his robe!
He had wrapped her in the robe himself! Why was it here? How did the robe wind up here?!
His heart was about to pop out. He walked over to the robe and picked it up!
“Mr. Foster, the robe is torn. There’s blood on it!” The bodyguard showed Elliot the place where the robe was torn and the bloodstains.
Elliot held onto the robe. His hands trembled!
She must have met a wild beast! If not, her clothes would not have been torn, and there would not have been bloodstains on them either.
Avery must have been injured. Also, she has nothing to cover her body. Even if she did not die from the attack, she would freeze to death without any clothes on her!
Elliot did not dare to continue to think about it.
“Mr. Foster, Miss Tate is injured. She could not have gone far. Let’s head forward to have a look. I’m sure we’ll find her!” said the bodyguard after he analyzed the situation.
Elliot’s eyes were sore. He sighed a little and walked deeper into the forest with a clenched fist!
After walking for another ten minutes or so, they saw a pale body curled up in the bushes.
When Elliot saw her pale body, illuminated by the cold beam of the torch, tears sprung to his eyes.
He never thought that he would let her end up in such a dangerous and precarious situation!
He loved her!
No woman on this earth fascinated him as much as her. He was obsessed with her.
However, he had forced her into such a situation! The bodyguards remained in the same spot, not daring to proceed forward because Avery was not wearing any clothes.
They saw Elliot taking off his jacket and wrapping it around her. Then, he lifted her up.
The rain suddenly came pouring! The rain penetrated through the forest, falling on them mercilessly.
