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, "

"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

Avery tapped Layla on the shoulder. "Let's go out!"Layla remained frozen in place and could not hear a word that she was saying, so Avery took her hand and pulled her out of the intensive care ward before helping Layla remove her protective equipment. "Don't cry, Layla. He will get better," Avery said. "This is just temporary. Once he gets the surgery he needs, he won't have to rely on the machines."Layla threw herself into her mother's arms and broke down in tears. "Mom, you have to save him... There's still so much that I need to say to him...""I know." Avery ran her hand down Layla's back. "He has done our family a great favor, and we are all grateful, so we are doing whatever it takes to find a matching donor... Once we find one, Eric will get better.""How can we speed up the process, Mom?" Layla desperately wanted to help, no matter the cost."Layla, I know that you are anxious. So am I, but you don't come across a matching donor with just money. We are already searchin

"My aunt used to be the host of a TV show, but she quit after she fell ill. She works as a tutor now, but she is quite picky with who she teaches. I majored in broadcasting because of her. I've always looked up to her," the girl said."I picked this major because of my respect for a certain broadcaster as well," Ivy said."Oh? Who is it?"Ivy did not know what to say because the broadcaster she respected was from Taronia.All the shows she had watched and the news she had consumed had come from Taronia, so she did not know much about broadcasters or television hosts in Aryadelle."I don't know her name," Ivy lied."Ivy, you never join any gatherings. Do you not like going to gatherings, or does your family forbid you from going? It is quite a lot to stay in the residences near our campus, so your family must be quite rich!""No, my family doesn't care about that. I just don't like gatherings. I would join if those activities hold credits, though.""Hahaha! You are so funny. The

Ivy was surprised as she did not know that Elliot and Layla were coming home. She held onto her phone and turned to the girl next to her, "I'm sorry! I need to go home now. I will buy you dinner next time!""Go ahead! I'll just have dinner on my own," the girl said."Okay," Ivy said before hurrying out of the canteen."Who were you talking to, Ivy?" Robert overheard Ivy through the phone."A schoolmate. She's not from my class," she said. "Where are you right now, Robert?""I'm almost reaching," Robert said casually. "Have you gotten yourself a new friend?""No. It's quite a coincidence, actually. I asked my lecturer to refer me to a tutor, and he did. It turns out that my new tutor is that girl's aunt," Ivy explained briefly. "She seems nice and doesn't look like the kind of person who would run her mouth."Robert was famous at his university as everyone knew who his family was, so he had never faced similar concerns. He tried his best to stand in Ivy's shoes and said, "Just be

She also sent Amy a message.Ever since the events that took place in Cambrode, Amy had called and texted Layla numerous times. She even wanted to travel to Bridgedale to see Layla, but Layla turned her down.Since she was back, Layla figured that she should inform Amy about her return as well.All the managers in Tate Industries had all been worried sick about her, so she informed each and every one of them that she had returned home.Shortly after, Robert's car stopped in front of the front yard, and the servants asked Elliot whether he would like dinner to be served. Elliot nodded and stood from the couch."Layla!" Ivy ran over when she saw Layla step out of the house.Layla opened her arms and gave Ivy a strong, warm hug."Let me take a look at you, Layla.""I've fully recovered." Layla spun around for Ivy."That's great." Ivy walked inside and changed into her slippers before pulling Layla inside with her. "Dad!""I heard that you've been living in your apartment," Ell

The call was almost immediately answered."Aunty, it's Layla." Though Layla used to call Eric her uncle, she still referred to his mother as 'aunty' because Mrs. Santos was exceptionally youthful and beautiful despite her age.Every time Layla would visit them, she would address Mrs. Santos as 'aunty' and call Eric by his name.If it was any other time, Mrs. Santos would be overjoyed to have received a call from Layla, but since there was no telling if Eric would get the surgery he needed, her heart was heavy with sorrow, and she could not muster her enthusiasm. Mrs. Santos hummed in response, and Layla continued, "Aunty, I'm back in Aryadelle, and I want to pay you a visit tomorrow.Mrs. Santos hesitated before agreeing."I won't keep you from going to sleep, then. See you tomorrow," Layla said before ending the call.Though Mrs. Santos had not accused Layla of anything, Layla was still overwhelmed by guilt.Meanwhile, in Eric's mansion, Mrs. Santos sat by her bed and sobbed

"Uncle," Layla called out.Mr. Santos hummed, and when he saw that she was alone, he asked, "You drove here?""Yeah."He took the gifts from her and said, "My wife is preparing food in the kitchen. You love her cooking, so she is cooking for you.""She didn't have to. We can just go out and eat." Layla did not want them to exhaust themselves."We bought a lot of groceries, so let's eat at home!" Mr. Santos said before handing Layla a pair of clean slippers. "It's the same pair that you wore the last time you visited. We've already washed it."As Layla changed into the slippers, Mrs. Santos walked out of the kitchen."Aunty." Layla strode toward Mrs. Santos. "I'm sorry, Aunty. I came here specifically to apologize to you and Uncle.""Oh, never mind that. Your parents have called and apologized." Mrs. Santos suppressed her sorrow and said, "Did Eric leave us a message before the accident?"Layla took Mrs. Santos's hand and sat her down on the couch.Mr. Santos sat next to them,
