NovelEnglishMike was shocked by the question.
"What makes him think he has the right to ask about this? Avery's eyes are finally close to being fully recovered and now he wants to cand pretend like he cares about her? Doesn't he have any shat all?! Has he heard from someone that Avery's eyes are almost fully recovered and has chere because of that? He must have known that Avery cclose to being blind and maybe that's why he dares to treat her with such cruelty, thinking that she won't be able to see again?" All sorts of thoughts swirled in Mike's mind.
"Do you care about her? How laughable," he said sarcastically. "If you really care about her, you should hand over custody of Layla and Robert! Give Tate Industries back to her! You can callagain if you manage to do all that!" Elliot was enraged by the unreasonable request. "I didn't think you would be so unreasonable." "Who are you calling unreasonable? Did | beg you to call me? Did | ask you to cto Avery's house?" snarled Mike. "You are supposed to be a grown man, and yet, you can't keep yourself under control? Has Avery contacted you at all after your divorce? She hasn't, right? You are the one who can't sit still. You are the one who chere, and you are the one who called me! What gives you the right to callunreasonable?!" "Fine, I'm the clown for coming!" growled Elliot as his expression darkened, before hanging up.

Avery was likely overwhelmed with rage after hearing his proclamation, and that made the chances of her bowing down all the slimmer.
As for her illness, she had probably neglected to inform Elliot about it because she did not need his attention.
Elliot set his phone down and stalked over to the fridge to take a bottle of ice water out.
He needed to cool down.
After drinking half the bottle, the heat coursing through his body finally subsided, but it was soon replaced by a twisting sensation in his stomach.
He immediately crouched by the bed.
He had not eaten anything since he arrived at Bridgedale, =e' He did not bring his bodyguard along, and without medicine, his body stiffened at the pain, and he was left with no option but to wait for the pain to pass.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt seven in the evening, Avery finally caved to her urge to see her children and called Layla.
Layla immediately answered the call when she saw Avery's non the screen.
"Layla!" Layla was laying on her bed with her hair splayed about her. Her features were more defined from the last tAvery had seen her, and Avery knew that her daughter was growing up.
She could barely contain her excitement, but she was filled with guilt at the stime.
"Mommy!" Layla looked at the familiar face of her mother and stood from her bed in excitement. "Mommy is that you?! Am | dreaming?" "Layla, this is not a dream. | saw what you wrote in your diary because your dad brought it here and showed it to me." Avery tried her best to contain her overwhelming emotions. "I feel so sorry, and | wanted to call you and apologize." The big smile on Layla's face immediately turned into tears at Avery's words. She was filled with despair.
"I miss you so much, Mommy! | want to live with you. | don't want to stay with Daddy." Layla rubbed her eyes and pouted. "Why haven't you called me? | am so mad at you! But since you are callingnow, | guess | will forgive you."
