Chapter 1584
The injury did look a little scary at a glance."I applied some ointment last night. It was dark in color, which is why the injury looks a little scary." Avery returned the phone to Elliot. "It's not as painful today as it was yesterday.""It is better to be safe and go to the hospital," Elliot insisted. "It's inconvenient for you to apply the ointment yourself at home.""I don't find it inconvenient." She then offered up another random reason, "My mother said that it's bad luck to start the year with a visit to the hospital."Elliot was speechless and so was the doctor.Avery was a doctor too from what they remembered. It came as a surprise that she would say something so superstitious.A sick person ought to visit the hospital as soon as possible, regardless of the occasion.Nevertheless, Elliot did not question her."Did you bring any medication?" he asked the doctor.The doctor immediately took out the ointment he brought."Could you treat her swelling please," he said.

In the dining hall, Avery felt a little unaccustomed to eating breakfast alone."Did Adrian go out for some new year's visits too?"Mrs. Scarlet answered, "Shea and Wesley came to pick him up in the morning.""Shea and Wesley were here?""Yeah. The two of them are going to go skiing today, so they asked Adrian to join them." Mrs. Scarlet said pitifully. "Adrian would've been alone otherwise, and it's kinda sad if you think about it.""He can join Hayden and the kids."Mrs. Scarlet: "Do you know where they went to celebrate the new year today?""Where?" Avery asked in surprise."Mike's place." The smile on Mrs. Scarlet's face was unable to hide the sadness in her expression. "Master Elliot doesn't have any relatives, and you don't have much contact with yours either, right?"Mrs. Scarlet's words stunned Avery."Adrian has a brother, but unfortunately his eldest brother is a terrible person." The smile on Mrs. Scarlet's face disappeared completely. "But at least they more aware

"I'll let you step in if there are any issues with them in the future that we can't avoid." Elliot thought about it all night and finally made up his mind.Being affectionate toward Ruby and her baby would be an injustice to Avery and the three kids.Avery did not make a fuss out of it because her children did not know about it and he still had time to remedy the situation.If the situation escalated beyond control, Hayden and Layla would hate him to death.His greatest fear, however, was not that the child hated him—he feared losing Avery.Elliot had suffered so much that he lost sleep when all Avery did was give him the cold shoulder for one day. He could not even imagine how he could continue to live in the future if she disappeared from his world.His answer gave her a heavy sigh of relief.She would not have gotten angry at him on New Year's Eve if he had done that in the first place, and she would not continue to lose her temper with him if he gave her the same answer a da

"You're right. But she has her reasons for doing so. Elliot stood out from his peers, showing intelligence and a level of maturity that was far above that of other people, even in kindergarten. He was Madam Rosalie's pride, and Eason was very proud of him too. The atmosphere at home was also much better than before. Do you think he'll be able to accept the truth behind his background? I think not. Madam Rosalie is worried that the peace she strived so hard to get would disappear forever," Mrs. Scarlet explained. "I understand how she feels."Avery understood too.It was cruel to separate Elliot from his child at Ylore, but she did that nonetheless.What right did she have to say that Rosalie was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman?Later that evening, Mrs. Cooper and the three children returned.Hayden and Layla brought Avery a lot of delicious snacks and sweets."Chad brought these special treats from his hometown," Mrs. Cooper said. "He cooked lunch and dinner today, and I must a

The last thing Avery wanted was to see Ruby, much less watch their child be born into the world and then coming over to search for Elliot.If the child did come looking for them in the future, she might not be able to bring herself to turn the girl away heartlessly.However, she would never let Elliot see the child. That was the extent of her kindness as far as the present scenario was concerned."We're putting a pause on this issue. You'd better do as you said in the future." She put an end to it. "I don't think you'd be as generous as I am now if you were in my shoes, Elliot.""I know that. Avery, thank you." He looked at her gratefully, "I won't let myself be confused again in the future.""Okay. Time to get up. Let's go down together," she planned to keep him company and eat a little more.She had no appetite when she ate alone, but now that she had resolved the conflict with him, she started to feel a little hungry.After he got up, he walked to the bathroom and washed hi

"Didn't you say you would eat with me?""I'll play with the kids for a while." Avery's heart melted when she looked at her daughter's tearful eyes.Elliot nodded and went to the dining room.After he walked away, Hayden said in a sullen voice, "Why did you lie, Mommy? Elliot was the one who hurt you.""He didn't do it on purpose," Avery explained. "He'll be sad if we tell it to his face.""Let him learn his lesson!" Hayden raised his voice on purpose so Elliot could hear it clearly from the dining room.Layla pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and said in a crying voice, "Daddy is such a careless klutz! You should punch a boo-boo on his head too."Avery sighed. "Your uncle Mike already punched him, and your father now has a boo-boo on his head too."Layla stopped crying immediately. "That's more like it.""You should eat if you're hungry, Mommy!" Hayden said."Sure... Although, how did you know it was your father who did it?" Avery did not remember telling them about her in

The next morning, Layla got up at seven to bathe and get dressed before going downstairs for breakfast.At half past seven, Eric's car stopped outside the courtyard gate."Why are you here so early, Eric?" Avery just got up and the sun had not completely risen yet."I came over as soon as I finished work." Eric had been busy these days.It was a busy time of the year for those in the entertainment industry.He wanted to bring Layla along, but she preferred to stay at home because Hayden was back in the country."Didn't you get any sleep last night?" Avery felt a little conflicted. "Won't it be noisy when Layla goes to your place today?""Nah, I stay up late all the time, so I'm used to it. I slept yesterday morning too, so I'm not that sleepy right now." Eric handed her a gift. "Where's Hayden?"Layla glanced at Eric, and then glanced guiltily at Avery, "Hayden's not feeling well today.""Why is he unwell? Does he have a cold?" Avery said and immediately walked to the children

"Hayden, let me take you to the hospital for a checkup!" Avery said.There was medicine for the stomach at home.Elliot had stomach problems, so he always kept stomach medicines at home.If Hayden was expressing his discomfort, it meant that he must be in great pain, so it was best to go to the hospital for an examination so she could be assured.She thought Hayden would refuse, but she did not expect him to agree.The driver had taken Elliot out, so Avery drove Hayden to the hospital.On the way, Hayden explained honestly: "Mom, I pretended to be sick."Avery: "Huh?""I have registered for you. You need to go and see the doctor." Hayden explained, "If you don't want Elliot to know, I can cover up for you."Avery couldn't help laughing, but she didn't expect that her son would pretend to be sick to trick her into going to the hospital."What department did you help me register at?""The neurology department.""Okay, let's go." he warmed her heart, "Hayden, it's not that mot
