Avery suddenly woke up.She was woken up by Elliot.Elliot had suddenly let out a sound that was halfway between an angry bellow and a desperate sob.She heard it even clearer when she woke up."Elliot… Did you have a nightmare?" Avery sat up and raised her hand to switch on the lights in the room.All she saw was Elliot, covered in sweat, and with a frightful expression on his face."Elliot!" Avery's voice grew even louder as she tried to wake him from his nightmare. "Elliot, wake up!"Her voice pulled Elliot back to reality from the dream.Elliot opened his eyes, tears clearly forming at their corners."Elliot, did you have a nightmare? What did you dream of?" Avery reached out her hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Do you want some water? I'll go get you water."Elliot immediately grabbed her arm and did not let her get out of bed."Avery, I dreamed that I went to Hightide Chapel. It wasn't a nightmare… It was just a little bizarre." He looked at Avery's face, his
Avery said, "Is it that serious? Why don't I get you a psychiatrist?"Elliot said, "Avery, do you really not understand what I said?""I don't understand! I feel like you're quite normal. Why would you say that you're useless?" Avery hugged his waist and suddenly figured it out. "I got it! You want to do that!"Elliot was confused.Avery said, "Brain injuries are no small matter and not to be taken lightly. You still haven't gone for your follow-up checkup! Let's wait and see what the results are after your next checkup. You shouldn't think about those kinds of messy things for now. Just rest properly. After you've recovered, you can do whatever you want, and I won't hold you back.""No… Didn't you say that you wanted to encourage me when you came back yesterday morning?""Oh, that's what you're talking about!" Avery did not expect him to have such a good memory. "I would have forgotten if you hadn't brought it up. Hahaha!"She smiled, tip-toed, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
At breakfast, Elliot brought up the dream he had had the night before."Avery, I think I should make a trip there." Elliot wanted to go up the hill to confirm his dream."Elliot, I have seen all the children there. Ivy is not there. I’m sure of it. There is not a child that looks like me or you." Avery carefully thought back to the children’s faces as she said that. "If you don’t believe me, when Layla returns, you can go through the photos in her phone once more."Elliot has seen the group photo the night before. However, at that time, he had only glanced at it. He had not looked at it carefully."Maybe it’s because I didn’t take you along up the hill the last two times, so you feel left out, which is why you had that dream," Avery proposed. "The next time, when the weather is better, I'll take you there to have a look. If I don't, I'm afraid that you'll keep thinking about it.""Hmm, maybe it is like what you said. If Ivy is on that hill, how would we not have found her after so
"Layla, give her a money jar next time, then! She can save her own money and buy whatever she wants in the future," Shea said dotingly."Okay, Aunt Shea. I'll bring it next week." Then, Layla asked curiously, "Aunt Shea, will you send Rose to school today?""On Monday, we'll take her to the kindergarten to have a look and see if she wants to go to school or not. If she wants to, she'll go to school with Kiara. If not, she'll stay at home, and I'll care for her." Shea could accept anything, as long as Rose was healthy."I want to go to school with Kiara, but I'm afraid that I don't know anything," Rose said."When I was young, I didn't properly go to a kindergarten! Hayden didn't go to a kindergarten either. He found it too childish. Rose, don't worry about not knowing anything! You can go and try it out first. If you're not happy with it, you don't have to go," Layla said encouragingly."Hmm!"After the four children played together for a while, Layla took Rose and Kiara to anoth
"Yes! Irene looks like your Daddy when he is young! Hehe!" After Rose made this discovery, she looked at Layla's phone closely.Layla also looked at her screen. "Are you for real? Do you have Irene's photo? Oh, right, you don't have a phone…""I don't have a photo. We have never taken a photo before," Rose explained. "The Sister never allowed others to take photos of us. She has never taken photos of us either.""Oh… It's a pity I have never seen your friend. If not, I would know whether she looks like my Daddy or not," Layla said and pondered on this for a few seconds. She continued, "Actually, I do not know if my Daddy looked like this when he was young. I was just having some fun. I'll go ask him later when I go home. See if he really looked like this when he was young.""Hmm." Rose nodded obediently."Rose, haven't you seen my Daddy before? When you saw him, didn't you feel that he looked like your friend?" Layla asked with a smile."Uncle Elliot doesn't look like her right n
"Mommy, look at Uncle Elliot… Layla has a photo where she turned Uncle Elliot young. Tap on it. I don't know how to do it." Kiara pointed at the phone.Robert was looking at them intently by the side. He placed his new toy down and took Layla's phone from Shea's hand. He skillfully opened the photo album and found the photo of his father.When he saw the photo of his father as a young child, he snickered, "Hehe! Daddy is so cute!"Then, Robert kissed the screen without any warning."Robert, you naughty boy! That's disgusting! You made my screen dirty!"Layla flew over and rescued her phone from Robert. At the same time, she shoved Robert to the side.Robert pouted, looking aggrieved. "You don't want to play with me, and you pushed me away. I'm going to tell Mommy when we get home.""If you dare to tell Mommy, I won't play with you ever!" Layla threatened Robert, completely unperturbed.She was confident in her control over Robert.Sure enough, Robert caved. He was so frightene
The old woman saw Irene crying. She could not bear to watch."Then, eat up first. After your meal, I'll take you around the neighborhood to walk. Irene. It is a thousand times better here. You will surely like living in the city," the old woman said. "Rose is lucky, too! She has been adopted by Avery Tate. She won't have to worry in the future.""Grandma, didn't you say that Aunt Avery is a bad person? Since she is a bad person, why do you say that Rose will have a good life?""A bad person might not treat everyone badly. She might treat Rose well.""Then how do you know that she will treat Rose well? What if she bullies Rose? Unless she isn't as bad as you say," Irene said logically.Ever since leaving the chapel, she had been thinking about Avery and Rose.The Avery Tate she had met was such a gentle person. She did not look like a bad person. A person's eyes, tone, and impression that they had left on another person would not lie.Of course, Irene was still young. She could n
"I couldn't sleep, so I was researching albinism. This call is most likely a prank call." Avery placed her phone on the table and got up. She walked over to Elliot. "Go back to sleep! It's still early. Let me escort you back to your room.""I can't sleep anymore, but I don't know what to do either. It feels a little scary when I imagine my retirement." During the time he was being forced to rest, Elliot was trying to cultivate as many interests as he could when he was not working.It was a pity that, other than work, he had not much interest in other things."Why don't you try fishing?" Avery suggested. "I saw the news today. A man tried climbing over the fence to go fishing. Something like, because his wife doesn't like fishing, he had to secretly sneak out to go fishing.""Are you sure he snuck out in the middle of the night to go fishing and not for something else?" Elliot asked. "What is he doing fishing at night? He can't even see the float. Is he fishing blindly?"Avery was
