"Layla, the success rate is ninety percent, and I want you to remain calm about this," Avery said."That’s pretty high, right?" Layla said thoughtfully."Yes, it's considered very high, and everything should be fine.""I know that it will be a success," Layla said confidently. "I believe in him.""Come to Bridgedale with his parents.""Sure."Layla hung up and immediately headed out of the office to return home and pack. On her way back, she called Elliot."Dad, I'm going to Bridgedale. Eric can undergo the operation now! There's a matching donor!" Layla blurted excitedly.Avery had informed Elliot about the surgery as well."I will come with you!" Elliot wanted to see if the surgery would succeed, and he wanted to see Avery.It was the longest they had been apart from one another. They had stayed together since they had remarried, and even when one of them needed to go on a business trip, the longest they had been apart was three days. "If you come along, Ivy and Robert wi

Robert thought about it and said, "Why don't we eat at the canteen in Dad's office? I heard the food there is great, but I've never been there before.""Sure! Will they let us in?"He chuckled. "I'm just going to let them have a good look at me." "Do they all know you?"He giggled. "Of course, not. I mean I'm going to use the face recognition system to get in. Dad's security system has face recognition, and Dad entered us all into the system.""Oh! I thought all of Dad's employees know you!" She sighed a breath of relief."Do you know how many employees work for him? Thousands!" he said. "Only a few of the managers have seen me because Dad is quite protective of us. Search online and you will only find that Hayden is listed as Dad's son. You can't find anything on Layla and I." "I tried." Ivy did so in Taronia and could only find Hayden. "But since Layla uploaded that advert, I'm pretty sure everyone knows who she is." "That’s because she's working, and it doesn’t matter if

Dean knew that Elliot was on his way to Bridgedale, so he had not informed Elliot about it right away.He waited outside Elliot's office for a while and when Robert did not show up, he called Elliot's assistant."Do you have Robert's number? Give it to me if you do," Dean said. "I heard that Robert is in the office, but he's nowhere to be found. I have no clue as to why he is here."The assistant immediately located Robert’s number and sent it to Dean. "Are you sure that he is in the office?""The administration manager said so, so I suppose so!" Dean said. "I heard that he is here with his girlfriend, too. I haven't even heard that he was dating. Do you know about this?""No! The last time Mr. Foster talked about Robert, he was saying how Robert doesn't know how to handle his personal life. I heard that some girl went to Layla to get to Robert and Layla was really mad about it.""Robert is a gentleman, so it's natural that girls like him. I guess he is in a serious relationship

Two hours later, Robert and Ivy returned home.Robert felt drained and so did Ivy, mainly because Dean and the others were far too talkative.Ivy had no knowledge about Sterling Group at the very beginning and after two hours' time, her head was filled with information about Sterling Group and their future development plans."Robert, they are quite nice, actually." Seeing how Robert was staring into the distance blankly, she sat down next to him on the couch."Sure, but I just can't take it when they keep trying to lecture us just because they are older, you know? Hayden's company isn't like that, though. I will take you to his office when I have the chance." Robert's eyes lit up when he talked about Hayden's company."I don't feel that way, Robert. I think that all the guys we met today are really nice and enthusiastic. It's a great thing that they are willing to share with us their experience and thoughts. I guess I just haven't received that much love growing up, so I don't see

"What about you?" Mike turned to look at Elliot. "You have a weak stomach. If you get sick later, your wife is going to worry."Layla immediately turned to look at them."I guess we should eat! She was worried that the others would refuse to eat like she did.She was young and could starve without feeling unwell, but her father had a weak stomach and Eric's parents were elders.After lunch, they continued to wait outside the operation room."Relax, it's all going to be fine." Mike leaned against the window and studied the dark looks on their faces. "This is the best private hospital in Bridgedale and the surgeon in there is the best in this country... Bridgedale is known for being really advanced in the medical field and if the surgery fails-"Layla interrupted him. "Uncle Mike, Mom used to call you a jinx.""???""So just stop. You are making me nervous."Mike scratched his head awkwardly. "Sure, I will stop. It's been so long since your mom called me that, though. How do you
