"Avery, happy new year!" Wesley's delighted voice came through.
Avery chuckled. "Wesley, happy new year's eve! I'll save the new year greeting for tomorrow." "Hahaha! Have you all had your dinner? | initially wanted to call you later, but the hospital just passed on a piece of good news to me, so | can't wait to tell you about it," Wesley paused for a while before saying, "Eric can sit up! He is slowly gaining consciousness!" Avery said, "That's amazing!" "Avery, he and his family wanted to thank you. They said that they want to visit you after the New Year's," Wesley said.

The others are unimportant.” "How is it unimportant? They want to pay for his medical expenses. They asked me what would be an appropriate amount. | told him to discuss the matter with you." Avery was silent for a while. "| was just helping Professor Hough complete his unfinished work. If they want to pay for his medical expenses, tell them to pay it to Professor Hough's family at the rate they had previously agreed upon.” Wesley said, "I knew you wouldn't want it." "Professor Hough left too suddenly.” Avery's voice suddenly turned glum. "I find it hard to accept it even now. He had saved so many people, yet in the end, he left us so early." 1 "Perhaps God saw how tired Professor Hough was, so He let him rest early. Avery, let's think of the good times. Don't be too sad." Wesley changed the topic. ' When are you free? I'll visit you." "I should be the one visiting you," Avery said. "I'll take my kids along too." "Okay! I'm free after the second day of New Year's. You can come any time." "Okay!" After hanging up, Avery carried Layla back to the dining table and sat down. Laura passed her a bowl of ravioli.
"Mom, your ravioli sure is huge today." Avery looked at the ravioli in her bowl, smiled, and said, "Did you give me the ravioli with the coin?" Laura merely smiled.
Avery carefully put the ravioli in her mouth and gently bit down. She bit into something hard. Taking out the coin, she said with a grin, "l knew that you love me the most! | will be very lucky in the coming year!" Mike sneered and placed a ravioli in his mouth too. Then, he took out a coin from his mouth.
"Laura placed coins in all the ravioli. | saw her do it." Avery said, "Mom, it won't come true that way." "Why not? | hope that every one of you has good luck!" Laura retorted.
"Then, if there was only one ravioli with the coin, who would you give it to?" Avery was deliberately making things difficult for her mother.
Laura looked at how childish Avery was being. She gave in. "Of course, it would be you! Once you're lucky, you can take good care of Layla, Hayden, and Mike." 1 Avery was pleased with the answer. After the pleasant meal, Avery got her mother to rest.
Mike stayed in the kitchen and helped Avery with the dishes.

"Avery, let's go skiing!" Wesley suggested. "They made a snow palace over there. It's gorgeous. I'll take a photo of you three." "Okay!" Avery agreed when she saw how excited her children were.
