NovelEnglish"He didn't even drink tonight. How is he acting drunk?" Hayden said with a blush on his face before hurrying back to his room.
"Hey! Why are you blushing?! He is your daddy! Didn't you call the way to Ylore to help him?" Mike chased after him.
Mike heard a loud bang. It was Hayden slamming the door shut, keeping Mike out of his room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTwo days later, the three returned hfrom Ylore, and Avery went to pick them up from the airport.
She sighed a breath of relief after seeing them with her eyes, all safe and sound.
"Mike, thanks for looking after them," said Avery.
"You're welcome," Mike said before leaning closer to Avery and whispering, "Talk to your husband! He has been really depressed lately." Avery could tell that Elliot had gotten thinner; his face was pale, and he seemed exhausted. He looked ill.
"You and Hayden should go home. I'll take him out for a walk before heading home," Avery said.
"Alright. We'll get going!" Mike grabbed Hayden by the shoulders and left.
Avery watched as they disappeared into the distance before taking a deep breath and turning to Elliot. "Elliot, showthe video of Ivy." "I don't want you to get upset. That's why I didn't send it to you." "I want to see it." Avery stretched her hand out, and Elliot handed the phone to her.
She found the video and played it.

"She is our daughter, so of course, she looks like us." Elliot had struggled through the past two days with a heavy heart, but he felt better after seeing Avery. "I feel so conflicted. I'm scared that she could be suffering right now, and I'm even more afraid that death might be the only way out. But on the other hand, I want her to stay alive even if she is suffering, so that that way, we can somehow find each other one day." "Everyone views suffering differently. Speople are depressed, despite being wealthy, and sstruggle to make ends meet, but feel happy nonetheless. If our daughter is still alive, believe that she will grow like a seed toward the blazing sun without a drop of fear in her heart, despite the harsh winters she might have to face." Elliot's eyes reddened as he nodded.
Avery took his hand and led him outside. "It's snowing so a lot of people are playing outside. Let's take a stroll." "Sure." They walked out of the airport and into the snow, but Elliot was not cold at all. Reminded of something, he blurted out excitedly, "Hayden calleddad!" Shocked, Avery exclaimed, "How is that possible?" "I cdown with a fever on the plane, and he told the flight attendant that his dad is sick. I heard him loud and clear." Avery immediately reached out to touch his forehead.
et "I took smedicine so I'm fine now." He grabbed Avery's hand as his eye's filled with tears. "Avery, thank you for staying by my side after all that has happened S She watched the snow fall onto his shoulders, and she tiptoed and pressed her lips gently against his. It was her way of telling him that he was worth everything.
