NovelEnglishIvy'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 sphotos.
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLayla.
Layla seemed to be in far better conditionpared 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.
He would be lying if he said that he was not touched at all when he saw how blue Eric had turned in the cold.
Eric had shielded Layla from the snow and given his jacket to her, which showed just how determined he was to save Layla even if
it cost his own life.
Robert and Ivy were curious as well, so they walked over to stand next to Elliot and stared at the phone.
A few moments later, tears welled in Robert's eyes. "People usually only have their own lives in mind when they are in danger...
They won't care about what happens to those around them, but Uncle Eric gave his jacket to Layla. He wore nothing but a thin
layer of clothes beneath that jacket. He would have surely died from the cold even if there wasn't an avalanche. How can he be so
silly?!"
Ivy felt the same, but she also realized that Layla had not given her heart to the wrong person.
Layla once mentioned that she did not only like Eric because of his looks but also because she felt safe with him ever since she

Ivy did not quite understand what Layla was trying to describe at the time, but she cto a realization when she saw the photos.
Eric was willing to sacrifice himself to save Layla, and anyone should consider themselves lucky to have someone care for them to
such an extent.
Avery fainted. The doors to the emergency room swung open, and Elliot immediately got the doctors to attend to his wife. They
told him not to worry after checking on Avery.
Avery had fainted from over-exhaustion, and because she was overwhelmed by her own emotions, she would wake up once she
had srest.
"You can send her back to the hotel, or let her rest here. If she is staying here, we will need to file the paperwork," one of the
doctors said.
Elliot wanted to check on Layla and Eric, but he wanted to take care of Avery at the stime, so he eventually chose to have
Avery rest in the hospital.
