"Let's go home and sleep! You will have whatever you want in your dreams."…Eric stepped down from the stage and Fred hastily left with him."How can you act so willfully, Mr. Santos? We didn't take the bodyguards here with us!" Fred was terrified to death."There are security guards around.""It's still not safe enough! I saw Big N—""The one you met with is a fake. Avery met with the true Big N and I heard that she's a gentle young woman who looked exactly like her photo. She has a younger brother and used his photo for her profile picture on social media," Eric explained. "The person you saw was probably her younger brother. She was forced to go on a blind date by her family, too, and she's a victim just like me.""Victim? She's your blind date! I would be so happy I could die if I were her." Fred drove them out and left the noisy beach."Fred, not everyone wants the same thing.""I don't really understand, but I guess there's no need for me to understand. You won't cross

The package was small and light when she picked it up. She glanced at the details stated on the box and found out that it was from Aryadelle and the sender was 'W'.Realizing that it was from Wesley, she immediately tensed as she was overwhelmed by curiosity.She found a pocket knife and opened the package."What is it?" Mike stood next to her and tried to look inside the box, while Hayden stood on the other side, trying to do the same.There was a blue box inside and Mike immediately snatched it away out of Avery's hands. "Judging from the look on your face, you don't seem to know what it is. I will open it, just in case it's dangerous!" Mike said, before proceeding to open the blue box.He froze as soon as the box was open because he could not tell what it was and whether it was dangerous."Let me see." Concerned, Hayden took it from Mike before Avery could reach for it.Avery scowled as she watched Hayden take the item, and she could not help but feel a wave of familiarity wa

Avery's blood ran cold and she started to shiver, unable to make a sound. In the end, she decided that she needed to head back in this instant. "I'm coming back now.""Alright. I'll wait for you," Wesley said.As soon as the call ended, Mike helped her over to the couch."You want to go back to Aryadelle now, right? I'll book the tickets for you. Just sit down and calm yourself. You are as pale as a ghost," Mike said."I'll book the ticket!" Hayden said. "If there are no flights tonight, we will book a private jet.""Okay." Mike knew that Avery wanted to go back to Elliot no matter the cost.Twelve hours later, they all arrived at Aryadelle and the bodyguard picked them up from the airport, before driving them to the hospital right away.It was after midnight in Aryadelle and both Wesley and Shea were still at the hospital."Avery, he's stabilized for the moment," Wesley said to Avery.Avery could not bring herself to believe Wesley. She simply needed to see Elliot herself."

"Okay... I will send you some clothes and living necessities once I get home!" Mike said. "Send me a list of what you need.""Sure. Just get the bodyguard to send them over.""Okay. We will get going now!" Mike knew he would not be of much help here and decided to stay out of Avery's way.Once they left, Avery went for a full-body sanitization and put on the isolation gown to prepare to enter the ICU.The doctor who performed the surgery on Elliot went inside with her."Don't worry, Miss Tate. We predict that Mr. Foster will be regaining consciousness in a few days' time," he consoled her."How many days, exactly?" she asked. She did not know about Elliot's current condition and the doctor who performed the surgery knew it best."I would say within three days!" the doctor said. "It might be a concern if he doesn't wake up until then, though."Avery tensed."Miss Tate, I said that he would wake up in a few days because all his vitals are improving, so there's hope," the doctor

Concerned that Robert would start crying, Mrs. Cooper immediately hurried to Robert's room to check on him.Shortly after, she walked out with Robert in her arms.Robert pouted as soon as he saw Layla holding onto Hayden."Layla, you shouted so loudly that I think you woke all the living." Mike poured himself a glass of water."Boohoo... Why didn't you tell us that you were coming home? No one told me anything before I went to sleep!" Layla wrapped her arms around her brother tightly and complained to Mike."We came home in a hurry." Mike set his glass down and checked the time. "It's almost two in the morning. Don't you two have school tomorrow?""I'm taking leave tomorrow! It's been so long since Hayden came home. I'm not going to school!" Layla decided without hesitation."Are you catching up on your studies?" Mike teased."I can whenever I want to!" Layla puffed her cheeks in frustration."Go to sleep, Layla. I'll send you off to school tomorrow." Hayden let go of Layla. "

Avery held Robert with one arm and held Layla's hand with another as she stepped into the mansion with a gentle smile."Judging from how relaxed you look, I am guessing that everything with Elliot is alright?" Mike said with a smile."He's doing fine," she said. "Are you leaving? Drive safe.""You don't even bother asking me to stay," he pouted."It's late now so stop being such a drama queen," Avery said with amusement, before handing Robert to Mrs. Cooper and heading to Hayden's room to tidy it up."Avery, we kept Hayden's room exactly the way it was before he left, and we clean it every week, so he can use it as long as we change the sheets," Mrs. Cooper said with Robert in her arms. "You should have told me that you are coming home.""We decided in the heat of the moment so it was quite rushed.""Yeah, it's alright. Why don't you take Hayden to his room? I will take Robert back to bed," Mrs. Cooper said, before turning to look at Layla. "Layla...""I want to go to see Hayde

I'm glad that you feel that way, Hayden. I can feel how you've grown, and though I'm happy for you, I feel kind of sad as well because I know I won't be able to shield you from everything from now on. At some point, you will leave me and fly off.""Mom, no matter where I am, I will always come back to you when you need me.""I don't need you to worry about me. Just be happy, do what you love most and meet people who share your dream... Just like how you are deciding to not interfere with my life decisions, I will do the same."Avery returned to her room with relief after talking to Hayden and found Layla lying on her bed with her doll, looking at her with a drowsy smile."Mommy, have you talked to Hayden?""Yeah." Avery walked toward the bed and looked at Layla with a gentle smile. "Your brother hasn't been able to make peace with your dad throughout the years, and I wanted them to stop acting like they were strangers or enemies.""And what did Hayden say?" Layla batted her eyes

Avery sent him a photo. [Your dad can no longer control me and Elliot.]Sebastian opened the photo and instantly realized what it was. [How's Elliot?][He's alive.][So this whole thing was a lie?][Yeah.][I knew it, and I think deep down, my dad knew it as well. He just wants to make money through his technology, and he does not want the truth to get out.][I know. I won't let him make money out of this.][Do as you please. I don't care.]Avery had only texted him to keep him posted and didn't care what he intend to do in the future.Neither of them owed the other one anymore.Avery stepped out of the bathroom and Layla was already asleep. She walked to the bed and touched Layla on the forehead. Her daughter seemed to have grown up to be a young woman without her noticing it.Avery wished that she could just hit the pause button so that she could have more time with her children.It would be daylight soon, and Mrs. Cooper woke Layla up for school.Layla leaped from bed a
