"Is my Daddy dead?" she sobbed. "He still doesn’t know that I'm his daughter!" Tammy held the hysterical Layla in one arm and held her phone with her other hand.

Avery received a call from the associate dean at Central University that morning and brought Hayden to the campus.
Yesterday, Hayden had won the National Youth Programming Championships.
He was not the youngest participant in the competition, but he was the youngest one to enter the finals.
What was even more unexpected was that he was the champion.
"Hayden might have skipped the conventional procedures to enter the finals, but the purpose of the competition was to search for child geniuses. We are willing to relax any rules for a prodigy like Hayden," said the associate dean with a smile. "Are you willing to let Hayden enroll in our college's elite class, Miss Tate?" Avery had gone through the elite class's introduction in detail.
Every student out of Central University’s elite class was a pride of society and a pillar of the country.
Of course she was willing to let Hayden enroll in the elite class.
"Do you want to give it a try, Hayden?" Avery asked gently for her son's opinion.
"I'l do whatever you want, Mommy." "I've always wanted to find a suitable place for you to learn and grow, Hayden. | hope you can try out different environments and find the best fit for you." Avery did not want Hayden to betray her son's trust in her, so she expressed her thoughts to him.
"Don’t worry, Miss Tate. Hayden can join us for a trial run before making a decision," said the associate dean warmly.
"Alright. Thank you." Once Avery h She pulled her phone out of her bag and saw two missed calls from Tammy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApart from the missed calls, there were also a series of text messages from her.
[Avery! Elliot came to see you just now and ended up passing out at the gate! Layla and | were freaking out!] [I've called for an ambulance!] [The ambulance took him away! | didn't follow them. I called Jun!] [Did something happen between you two again? Call me when you see this! Layla won't stop crying!] Avery's heart tightened in her chest. She quickly called Tammy back.
Tammy answered right away and said, " Don't worry, Avery. It's nothing serious. He just passed out from extreme fatigue.” "Extreme fatigue?" Avery repeated under her breath as she clenched her phone tightly. "He seemed fine yesterday." "I'm sure he stayed up all night. His eyes were bloodshot when | saw him this morning,” Tammy described vividly. "He said he was just in the neighborhood. | checked the map on my phone earlier, but your place is completely out of the way from his office and his house." Avery's heart began to ache. She sped up and walked toward her car.
"How are things there with you? Did everything go well?" Tammy said, changing the subject to something more relaxed.
"The associate dean said Hayden can start a trial run." Avery entered her car, put on her bluetooth earphones, then drove off.
"How's Layla doing?" she asked.
"She wouldn't stop crying because she thought Elliot was dead. She stopped crying only after | told her that he passed out from exhaustion." Avery's brows furrowed as she could not figure out how Elliot ended up like that.
They were constantly fighting.
The light bickering between them the day before was nothing.
What was going on with him? Why was he torturing himself to this extent?
