Chapter 2664
Eric re-entered the apartment with the business card in hand. After saving Amy's contact on his phone, he put the card away in a drawer.Remembering that Layla had vomited after breakfast, he hurried into the kitchen to take the fruits he had bought.The doctor had told him that she could not eat anything cold so he washed the apples and steamed them.Apples were not as acidic as some of the other fruits and would be perfect for Layla, who was having a stomach ache.Once the apples were steamed, he took them out and cut them into pieces before carrying the plate of apples into the bedroom.Layla was lying in bed with her phone."I bought some fruit. Do you want some?" Eric set the plate down on the nightstand. "Have you taken your medicine?"Layla immediately set her phone down and reached for the plate. After vomiting, her stomach was completely empty and she was starving."I took it. Should I have taken it before breakfast? I forgot to take it this morning," Layla said as she

"This is proof that I'm better now. I didn't have the energy to ask you these questions last night!" Layla leaned against the headrest. "Aren't you going to bring me my skincare products, too?"Eric carried the bucket away and went into the bathroom to collect her skincare products.Layla had just moved in and did not have many belongings with her, so he spotted the skincare products right away."I just need lotion. I don't need the rest." Layla did not have the energy for a long skincare routine. "You said that you are staying here, but my guest bedroom isn't ready, so how exactly are you going to stay here? You can't just sleep on the couch all week... You don't have your personal belongings, too...""I will get someone to send them over later. Don't worry about me"You are probably just as clueless as me in regards to taking care of yourself, right? You've been served by others most of your life, and you haven't even tried taking care of others." Layla knew that Eric would not

Her phone rang.Avery had called her after seeing her message, so Ivy immediately answered. "Mom, we've arrived. We are at the hotel waiting for our food to be served right now.""Edelweiss is in a different time zone. Are you feeling okay?""I slept on the plane, so I feel alright."Relieved, Avery said, "Good. Remember to eat healthily, and make sure that your food is thoroughly cooked. It's best that you drink distilled water from the bottles instead of the water or any drinks there. Your sister had food poisoning and came down with a fever when she went there!"Avery had mentioned this to both Mike and Chad but decided to remind her daughter again."I know. I will be careful.""Be safe! I will be waiting for you at home.""Okay. I will take photos of the aurora to show you if I see it.""Sure. I look forward to it."After the call, the waiter began serving the food.Mike helped serve Ivy and said, "Your mother said that you aren't picky.""Yeah! I can eat almost anythin

"That's right! I've known your mom since she was twenty-something. She had a bit of baby fat at the time and wasn't as thin as she is right now. She has always been pretty, though," Mike said."Dad is handsome, too.""Haha! Do you like your dad that much?""He is nice to me," Ivy said without hesitation."Well, your dad isn't so bad. He started to grow on me ever since he stopped fighting with your mom." Mike no longer despised Elliot as he had in the past, and the two had not argued for a long time."Your mom is the reason why I'm alive right now. She saved my life," Mike said. "After she cured me, I was determined to stay by her side no matter what. It's a good thing that I made that decision, or God knows where I would have ended up!""Uncle Mike, what did you work as in the past?""I was a hacker."Impressed, Ivy said, "So you are really good with computers?""Of course! I was your older brother's teacher, you know?" he said smugly. "Of course, he got even better than me."

Ivy had only meant to talk to Mike and had not expected him to offer his help. Neither had she expected him to be capable of finding out where Lucas was studying. After coming all the way to Edelweiss, she did want to find out and would love to visit the university where Lucas was studying. She did not plan on searching for Lucas, however, since he would not recognize her either she did not mind having a look around."Uncle Mike, can you really find out where he is studying?" Ivy asked."Of course. Just tell me his name.""His name is Lucas Woods.""Oh... So, this guy... he never looked down on you for being ugly?" Mike said.Ivy nodded. "He is a really good guy. He got mad at me for something I did the last I saw him, though… But he really is a great person. The best person I know apart from my grandma.""Silly girl," Mike thought. "If he was mad at you and could not be bothered to tell you why, he doesn't care about you, and here you are thinking that he is a great guy."Mi

"It's livelier during the night," Mike said to Ivy. "Most of the tourists rest during the day and come out at night."They sat by the window, noticing that there were more people outside."Can I see the auroras tonight?" Ivy asked in anticipation."I heard that they are expected to appear tonight, but we can't be sure. This sort of thing is out of our control," Mike said. "Let's enjoy our dinner. There's no rush. If auroras appear, we will spot it immediately."Ivy glanced at the sky and nodded, realizing something. "Uncle Mike, will people from the other cities in Edelweiss see the auroras as well?""Haha! This is a big country so maybe people in the neighboring cities can see them.""I see.""That's exactly why everyone comes here to see it. This is the northernmost town. The weather is rough, and the environment is harsh.""It's just a little cold, but everything else seems fine.""There's nothing fun around here. You will know the difference once we take you to the capital

Ivy did not think that Mike would find out which university Lucas was at this quickly and was deeply impressed by his ability.Ivy expressed her gratitude to both Chad and Mike, and Mike replied immediately. [Do you want to take a walk around the university tomorrow? Let's leave Chad out of it, hm?]Ivy hesitated for a moment when she read his message.[Don't worry. I've checked, and it's a big campus. Even if we wander around for the whole day, I doubt we will run into your friend.]Relieved, she replied. [Okay, Uncle Mike. Thank you! You really are the best!]Pleased by the compliment, Mike typed smugly. [This is nothing. If there's anything you don't feel like sharing with your parents, you can always come to me. I can be a great listener, and I might even be able to help!]Touched by all the love she was receiving, Ivy replied. [It's no wonder that Layla said you are like a second dad to us! You are so nice to us.][Get some sleep and I will wake you up tomorrow. If you wake

The medicine eventually took effect."No... I was fighting with my brother... I'm so frustrated that... I feel like I'm getting my period..." Layla explained.Eric had not expected her to say this and thought to himself, "She is just starting to recover from food poisoning, and now, she is on her period. Should she continue taking her antibiotics, then? What am I supposed to do?"Eric was not at all experienced in this and knew that warm water might help, so he brought her a glass of water."Let me call the doctor." Eric set the glass on the nightstand and took out his phone.Layla looked up and said, "I'm just on my period. You don't need a doctor for that... You might as well go get me some sanitary pads..."Eric was the only person there to help her. He flushed and nodded after putting his phone away. "I'll go get those. Do you need anything else?"Layla could not think of anything else and said, "that's all I need.""Okay. Hang in there. I will come back right away." Eric
