"If Mommy knew that Robert is sick, she would surely be heartbroken," Layla mumbled.

"He doesn't have any fever anymore, right? It's just a cold. Your mother is a doctor. She won't be frightened by this," Mike said.
"But Robert's voice is as hoarse as a duck's! " Layla thought about how hoarse Robert's voice was at that moment. She could not help but want to laugh.
While they were chatting, Elliot and Avery walked over.
"What are you all talking about? We could see you laughing from afar." Avery walked over to Layla and patted her on the head." It's already so late, why are you not at hresting?” "I'm on winter break. | don't need to wake up early tomorrow. Hayden wants to cto pick you up, of course, | will want to ctoo." Layla tugged on Avery's hand and said, "Mommy, Robert has a fever." "What a coincidence," Elliot said. "Your Mommy has a fever too, but her fever subsided on the plane." "Mommy, why did you not look after yourself? But Robert is worse off than you. His voice has turned hoarse." "Has he been outside?" Avery said heartbrokenly. "The last the had a fever was because he had caught a cold." "lI don't know. Hayden and | were playing outside, but we did not catch a cold," Layla muttered softly. "Mommy, how did you catch a cold?" Avery scratched her head. "lI don't know either, but I'm better already." Returning home, Avery saw the weary -looking Robert. She immediately picked him up.
"Baby, you must be feeling terrible. Have you had your medicine?" Mrs. Cooper smiled and said, "The medicine that the doctor prescribed this tis sweet. Robert likes taking it. " "Avery, you should take smedicine too, " Elliot reminded her. "Go take a shower first!" Avery nodded >a- "Mrs. Cooper, it's late, why don't you take Robert to bed!" Mrs. Cooper said, "Robert has been sleeping during the day, so he isn't sleepy yet, but it is indeed quite late. You all should have srest too. I'll take Robert back to the room." After Mrs. Cooper took Robert away, Avery sent Layla and Hayden to their room.
"Babies, I'm happy that you cto pickup tonight, but in the future, if it's too late, don't do it anymore." "Mommy, it was Hayden who insisted on picking you up. | am quite tired," Layla said and climbed up to her bed and lay down." Mommy, you should rest early too!" "Hmm!" Avery wanted to give her daughter a goodnight kiss, but at the thought of how she was having a cold at that moment, she did not do it.
Coming out of the children’s room, she returned to the bedroom. Elliot was running the hot water for her.

"Elliot, go take a shower first! I'm not tired.” Avery had enough sleep on the plane. She was still feeling awake. "Lilith has senta message, I'll reply to her first." "Okay." Elliot shut the door to the bathroom.
Elliot had not slept on the plane. He was afraid that her condition would worsen, or she would suddenly wake up, which was why he was tired at that moment.
Avery sat on the sofa and looked at Lilith's messages.
Lilith: [Avery, Ben tookout shopping. | thought he wanted to buythings. Of course, if he was really going to buy it for me, | would surely refuse. Turns out... he was going shopping for himself! He wantedto help him pick a suit, shoes, tie... everything! I'm dying!] Avery: [Hahaha! It must be because he is going to watch your competition, which is why he wants to buy new clothes!] Lilith: [Maybe! He said he wants to get styled. He only has that little bit of hair on his head. I'm worried the stylist would have nothing to work with ] Avery: [Lilith, have you fallen for him? | notice that you look quite happy when you take a jab at him.] Lilith: [Maybe a little! Cto think of it, he has been treatingwell all this while. It's my impulsive character. | always go up against him ] Avery: [You're going for your competition tomorrow. Have srest.] Lilith: [He said that he wants to treatto a meal tonight. After the meal. I'll head hto rest. Wait for my good news.] Avery's fingers were moving across the screen. Just when she was about to type, [ Ok ] she saw black, and her phone dropped on the floor with a clang.
