"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

Mike read the text message he sent several times but didn't understand what he meant.Did he want to give Layla's custody to Avery, or does he want Avery to go back and live with him again?He was somewhat ambiguous in his wordings.Mike lay down on his bed, holding Avery's mobile phone. After hesitating, he texted him back: [Are you willing to give me Layla's custody?]After the message was sent, Mike kept an eye on his phone, waiting for a reply.If Elliot was willing to give Layla's custody to Avery, Mike promised not to hold grudges against Elliot in the future.About ten minutes later, Elliot's messages came back: [Your daughter is ill, I don't think you care about her current situation at all, you only care about her custody.]Seeing this reply, Mike was so angry that blood rushed to his head, and his fingers quickly typed on the screen: [Whose fault is it that Layla is being sick? It's you! You didn't take good care of her, and you dare to accuse me?]After typing this s

Layla took his cell phone, turned it on, and saw their exchange."Layla, your mother just refuses to talk to me now, even if I wanted to tell her about you."When Elliot said these words, Layla dialed Avery's number.Unsurprisingly, a system prompt sounded. "Mom doesn't answer your call, but she will definitely answer mine!" Layla returned his mobile phone to him, then found her own and dialed Avery.The same system prompt sounded.Layla burst into tears.Elliot took her into his arms: "Layla, don't cry. Dad will take good care of you and your brother. Dad will work harder to be a good dad."Layla instinctively wanted to push him away, but she knew clearly that she had no one to rely on except her father.So she didn't push him away.The summer vacation had not yet started, but she returned to school after a day off at home to take her mind off the matter.As for Robert, the departure of Avery and Hayden did not have much impact on his life.He was happy as long as someone

Wesley looked at his face, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "She asked me to take care of Shea.""Did she say anything else? Did she say anything about me?""No." Wesley's answer took all hope away from Elliot. After Elliot left, Shea looked at Wesley."You're not treating my brother very well." Shea told him her feelings.Wesley was usually very polite towards everyone, but he was rather cold towards Elliot.Wesley didn't deny. "It's his own fault. If he hadn't hurt the relationship between him and Avery, Avery would not have divorced with him. His relationship with Holly was a disaster, and now he wants to make amends with Avery. It's just too late."Shea said, "My brother made a mistake, and Avery would be right to put the blame on him. I don't think you're allowed to talk to him like that though. He is the person who treats me the best… He's one of them, at least."Wesley relented. "All right, I'll be more careful with my temper the next time."In Bridgedale, Avery

She was volunteering to give up 30% of the shares of Tate Industries.Mike was also volunteering to give up 15% of the shares of Tate Industries.Elliot was given permission to do anything to the shares as he pleased.Elliot signed the document immediately."Aren't you going to call her to check the authenticity of the document?" Sean didn't expect Elliot to sign the document that quickly."She's not picking up my calls." Eliot put down his pen. "Was there anything else she wanted you to tell me?"Sean shook his head. "Nothing else.""Did she tell you via a telephone call, or was it Mike who told you?" Elliot looked at Sean. "Ever since I got divorced from her, I have never managed to call her.""She called me," Sean said awkwardly."Apparently she just doesn't want to talk to me. That's understandable. There's no reason to remain in contact since we are already divorced." Elliot laughed. "She's not just quitting from the company, she's also giving up on her kids."Sean was s

Why was Mike staying at the hospital?Was someone ill?Chad took a screenshot of his phone and sent it to Mike with a series of question marks.About half an hour later, Mike turned off his GPS and called Chad."I was sleeping just now! The do not disturb settings were on." Mike said and yawned."You're at the hospital, aren't you? Is there someone ill? You're not sick, are you?" Chad asked, "Is Avery sick?"Mike sneered, "Didn't Eliot tell you anything?""What do you mean? What would my boss tell me?" Chad was dumbfounded."Well, I suppose he doesn't want anyone knowing these shameful deeds of his." Mike snorted. "Does it even matter if Avery falls sick? Or if I fall sick? Is he going to visit us? Are you going to visit us? No! None of you are going to do that! So why ask?"Chad was speechless."Avery has already given up everything in Aryadelle, just leave us alone!" Mike said, "It's already late, I'm going to sleep.""Okay… Go to sleep then! But could you turn on your GPS
