Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Stay by my Side

Avery begins to tremble and hyperventilate. She feels like she might collapse at any moment. Her heart pounds as if it's about to jump out of her chest. "What do you mean?" she asks. "Is Charles alive? How?"

Instead of answering her, Andrew begins to wipe her hands with a clean cloth.

"Tell me, Andrew, is he alive?" Avery asks, "I don't understand."

"Come with me," Andrew says. 

Nervous, restless, and confused, Avery follows Andrew. She has no idea how Charles could be alive. She thinks, Has Andrew been lying this entire time? Is he keeping Charles prisoner in the mansion too? She knows she shouldn't get her hopes up, but she can't help but imagine being reunited with Charles. She can't wait to give him a big hug and tell him how worried she's been. She'll tell him about Andrew's lies, and the terrible nightmares she's suffered.
