Chapter 1688
Avery answered the phone and heard Elliot's low and slightly anxious voice. "Avery. Layla and Robert are both crying. Please don't go, okay?""What do you take me for? A nanny?" Avery shot back. "If you don't want Layla and Robert to be sad, you can give me custody of them. If you agree, I'll go over right now and pick them up."Elliot's breathing became heavier on the other side of the phone.He had a lot of things to say to her, but her attitude made it difficult for him to say them."I'm about to board the plane," Avery's heart started to count down the time. "Are you going to give me the children or not? You can always find some other woman after that and have as many children as you want…"The more Elliot listened, the angrier he became.Avery was insulting him to no end, and she did not even need to use any expletives.His face become ashen, then pale, while his body could not stop shaking at all.When he was about to hang up, he felt as if his fingers were frozen stiff.

"I'll head upstairs and check on Layla." Chad wanted to help Elliot coax Layla.His relationship with Layla was not too bad even though it was not as good as Layla's relationship with Mike. However, he felt that his words would have some level of persuasion in a situation where neither Avery, Hayden, or Mike was around.Upstairs, Mrs. Cooper opened the door with the spare key.The room was in such a mess that it looked as if a hurricane had just ravaged the place.Layla was sitting on the bed with her hands hugging her knees. Her cries were no longer as loud as before but were still depressingly hoarse.Mrs. Cooper could not blame her for what she did."Don't cry, Layla. Hayden told me before he left that he'd come and pick you up next time." Mrs. Cooper walked to the bed and used a tissue to wipe the tears from Layla's face. "Trust him, okay?""I don't trust him anymore. He said that I can go with them as long as I insisted on being with Mommy." Layla cried so much that she was

Later that evening, Ben sent Lilith a message to tell her that Avery went to Bridgedale.Lilith immediately replied: [Are you sure she's coming to Bridgedale? She didn't tell me!][She's probably still on the flight, but I'm positive she went to Bridgedale. She divorced Elliot today. He signed the divorce agreement and she took Hayden with her.][What did I miss?? Why did this happen all of a sudden?]After Lilith won second place in the modeling competition, her agent accepted some activities on her behalf, and she was very busy because those activities often require traveling to various cities[Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone right now? I'll call you and explain.][Just do it through the chat. You can send voice messages if you don't want to type.]Ben sent her a voicemail, saying, "Ruby's dead and Ivy's missing. It's highly likely that Ivy's dead too. Elliot went to Ylore to look for Ivy but failed to find her, and Avery divorced him because he went to Ylore."

Even if she asked Hayden, Hayden would not tell her.Hayden hung up the phone and looked up at the operating room door.After Avery got off the plane, she went directly to the hospital and entered the operating room.Her medical records were sent here when she was in Aryadelle.Everything was ready for her."Did Lilith call?" Mike asked with his arms crossed over his chest."She did.""Ben must have told her." Mike walked to the bench, sat down, took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, put two in his mouth, and handed the box to Hayden.Hayden shook his head."Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll wait here." Mike chewed his gum with a calm face, "Your mother will be fine. The doctor operating on her is an expert ophthalmologist in Bridgedale."Hayden shook his head again.He wanted to wait until his mother's operation was over."You have to attend school tomorrow. Do you want to go to school with dark circles under your eyes?" Mike said, "You've signed a five-ye

Avery replied, "No.""Why? Do you need another operation? Why is it so complicated? Is the doctor confident that your eyes can be cured completely?" Mike said anxiously.She thought she could recover after the operation. Unfortunately, that was not the case."If I recover successfully after this operation, the cornea will be replaced later. After my cornea gets replaced, I can see clearly again." Avery said, "As long as everything goes according to plan, the subsequent operation will be fine.""Oh... How are you going to get the corneas you need? Does the hospital have a cornea bank?" Mike was worried, "Are there any specific requirements for corneal transplantation?""Mike, don't be nervous." Avery said calmly, "The hospital has a cornea bank. The doctor will help me find a suitable cornea. It's pretty trivial. I'm going to recover pretty quickly after the surgery!""You will definitely recover quickly." Mike encouraged her. "Are you scared of the dark? You can't see anything no

"I don't want you! Go away! You're a horrible dad! I hate you!" Layla exclaimed suddenly.Robert, on the bed next to him, was instantly awakened.Robert was woken up by the screams. His cries were endless and deafening.Mrs. Cooper looked embarrassed and didn't know whether to coax Robert or continue to coax Layla.Elliot said to Mrs. Cooper, "Take Robert away. I'll talk to Layla.""Okay...sir, be patient; Layla is sick now...""I will."After Mrs. Cooper carried the crying Robert away, only Layla's cry was left in the room.Layla cried so hard today that her voice was hoarse.She was ill at the moment, and her face looked flushed. The skin on her face, and her eyes, were also red.Elliot stood in front of the bed and looked at his daughter helplessly: "Layla, I'm sorry. Dad didn't mean to separate you from your mother. Your mother insisted on divorce from me. I have no other choice.""It's all your fault! It's your fault that mom divorced you!" Layla looked at him with tear

She should have arrived in Bridgedale by now.Why was her phone still not working?Had she turned it off, or had she blocked him?"Mom..." Layla burned in a daze on the stretcher, muttering in a low voice, "Mom …brother...don't go...don't leave me..."Elliot looked at his daughter's little face whispering words in pain and tightened his fingers holding the phone.Why was Avery so cruel?Being cruel to him was enough; how could she be so cruel to the child?Did she plan to cut the child off?She had suddenly become so unfamiliar to him!He couldn't help but wonder, did he really make a big mistake?He redialed Avery's number and got the same response as just now.It seemed that she didn't plan to contact them again.Layla was pushed out of the ambulance when it arrived at the hospital and had her temperature taken.At home, the temperature taken by Mrs. Cooper did not exceed 38.5 degrees, but now, Layla's temperature had exceeded 40 degrees!The doctor immediately prescrib

After Layla finished her medicine, the doctor prescribed her some medicine to take when she went back home.When they got home, it was 4:40 in the morning.The villa door was open, and the lights in the living room were bright as day.After Mrs. Cooper coaxed Robert to sleep, she waited in the living room.Seeing Elliot come back with Layla in his arms, Mrs. Cooper immediately greeted him."Layla's fever has subsided. I need to wipe her body and change her clothes." Elliot hugged Layla and went back to the room.Mrs. Cooper responded, "Sir, go back to your room to rest! I'll take care of Layla. Otherwise, when Layla wakes up and sees you, she might cry again."Elliot looked at his daughter's pale and haggard sleeping face and murmured in a hoarse voice, "Should I give up Layla's custody?""You love Layla very much, and if Layla lives by your side, you will treat her very well. She's not used to it now; you just need some patience. Though, it will take some time for her to adjus
