Chapter 2746
Tears instantly rolled down her cheek and it was a while before she could make a sound. "Don't cry, Honey. Eric isn't dead. He is alive for now." Avery immediately grabbed Layla's hand. "I know that you are in shock now, but it's all over now. It's in the past."Layla held onto her mother's hand, unable to stop her tears.Elliot walked over and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry, Layla. We are doing everything we can to save Eric. You are not to blame for this, so don't you blame yourself. Don't feel guilty about this." Despite his effort, Layla's tears simply kept falling."I was the one... who got him into this..." Layla pushed Elliot's hand away. "If only I hadn't called him here, he wouldn't be in this... Mom, Dad, I killed him..."Elliot and Avery stood by the bed, not knowing what to say when they saw how heartbroken their daughter was because they knew that nothing they said could convince Layla that what happened to Eric was not her fault.They understood how she had reach

"Dad, can I go in to stay with Layla?" Ivy wanted to be there the moment Layla woke up. Elliot nodded. "Ivy, your mother thinks that we are in the wrong. If only we had agreed to them dating, they would have never ended up here, nor would they have been in the disaster…""No one is wrong here, Dad," Ivy said. "If everyone can predict what happens next, there will be no accidents or disasters."Elliot was comforted by her words."Dad, it's your responsibility to guide us and help us make the right decisions, and even if you have it wrong sometimes, we won't blame you because no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. You are a great father to me, Dad."Elliot pulled her into his arms. "Ivy, I'm so grateful for how understanding you are.""Dad, Layla won't be mad at you either," Ivy said confidently. "She told me that she loves you and Mom a lot, so don't beat yourself up.""Okay. Go in!" Elliot let her go. "Once Layla wakes up, you can chat with her for a bit if she is up to it

Toward the end, Layla was sobbing so hard that she could no longer speak, and Ivy immediately wiped away her tears with a tissue. "Don't cry, Layla. You are both fine... you are both alive! You will soon be discharged, and Uncle Eric is going to get better," Ivy said. "This kind of disaster won't happen again. Once Uncle Eric gets better, our parents won't be opposed to the idea of you marrying him anymore.""Ivy, I don't think he's in that good a state..." Layla had been with Eric the entire time, and she knew how close to death Eric was. "He gave me his jacket and was only wearing a really thin sweater. It was so cold, and he was wearing so little. He never intended to survive and told me that it would take some time for rescue to come, so I needed to survive until then..."Ivy started sobbing as well. "Layla, I thought that Uncle Eric was a great person, but after what happened, I realize he is so much more than that. He has a tender heart and a beautiful soul. Once he recovers,
Chapter 2749
ECMO stood for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and it was a machine that was designed to be used on patients suffering from severe dysfunction of their hearts and lungs.When the patient's lungs and heart could no longer function independently, the doctor would use an ECMO machine to help the patient circulate their blood and air. The machine was meant to take the place of the heart and lungs. It helps keep the patient alive, but since it is an extremely expensive procedure, ordinary people would never be able to afford it.Though Eric did not have to worry about the cost of such treatment, the treatment itself would be a challenging ordeal. The machine could be used to ensure the patient stayed alive, but he would not be able to open his eyes or talk like a living person if he were to rely on that machine. Eric would be no better than a copse, and if Layla had known that, she would definitely have broken down. Ivy looked up the term and fell silent after reading the descr

Layla turned to Ivy. "Ivy, go home! You've already wasted a lot of time staying by my side.""I can always get a tutor afterward, Layla. I want to stay with you.""I'm better now," Layla said and glanced at Robert. "Robert, take Ivy back. The two of you need to go back to school.""Let us stay with you for a few more days!" Robert said."I'm fine. Besides, I have Mom, Dad, and Hayden with me.""Fine!" Robert said in resignation. "But we are still coming to Bridgedale with you because I want to see Uncle Eric."Layla did not argue further.The four boarded a private jet and arrived at Bridgedale ten hours later.Once they arrived at Avery's house, she grabbed Layla by the arm and studied her up and down."Mom, I'm really fine. I felt weak at first, but they dripped me for three days in a row, so I'm much better now," Layla said. "How is Eric doing, Mom?"Knowing that Layla would ask about Eric, Avery had already prepared her answer ahead of time. "He needs a new heart and lung

"You and Ivy are going back on the private jet, and I'm staying here with Layla. Remember to keep an eye on Ivy once you get home. I don't know when I can come back," Elliot said.Ivy was standing next to them as Elliot spoke to Robert."I will take good care of Ivy," Robert promised."Go to sleep and head back tomorrow!" Considering how long they had spent on the plane, Elliot said, "Call me if anything happens. Do not make the call without consulting me.""I know, Dad."Elliot then turned to Ivy and said, "Ivy, don't worry about a thing and focus on your studies. Once things start to look up over here, we will come home."Ivy nodded and said, "Did the doctor tell us to hire a psychologist for Layla?""We will talk to Layla about this. Your mom will talk to her."Ivy nodded. "Dad, you have gray hair." Ivy was standing close to Elliot and could see everything.Elliot knew it but did not mind.Avery walked over and ran her fingers through his hair. "I will buy hair dye tomorro

Mike burst out laughing. "It's probably the same concept as polishing a shoe.""Dyeing someone's hair is definitely going to be more difficult than that," Chad said. "But Avery is a smart woman so she should be alright as long as she followed the instructions."Elliot shuddered."Mom, why don't you just take Dad to a salon? Your hands might get dirty," Hayden suggested.Hayden had always been skillful with his words when he wanted to be. He was concerned that Avery would fail but simply said that he did not want Avery to get her hands dirty."Your mom wants to do it for your dad. Don't you know what this is?" Mike threw his arm around Hayden's shoulders and said, "It's called 'spicing things up'. You don't have a girlfriend, so you won't understand."Hayden responded to his sarcasm with silence."It's getting late, so Chad and I will leave now," Mike blurted out before Hayden had the chance to retort.Avery saw them out the door and returned to the house before asking Hayden, "
Chapter 2753
"Layla, Uncle Eric won't be mad at you when he wakes up. He is going to be over the moon when he sees that you are doing perfectly fine." Ivy wanted Layla to remember how Eric felt about her when he saved her life.Layla smiled when Ivy said that Eric would wake up. "I will wait for him to open his eyes."After taking a shower, the two went back to the living room and saw Avery dyeing Elliot's hair, while Robert assisted her."Are you nervous, Dad?" Ivy walked over and watched Avery.Elliot had been nervous, but he decided to abandon his fear after a while. Avery did not have any experience when it came to dying hair, but once she figured it out, she would know what to do. "Dye it black. Even if she fails, it won't be that bad," Elliot said. "When we grow old and have gray hair, your mom will still have to dye it for me again anyway. She will become an expert soon."Ivy was moved by his answer."And what if Mom has gray hair? Will you dye it for Mom?""I'm fine with it if yo
