“I’ll head there myself.”
“Are you familiar with the hospital here?” Averie retorted, “I know people. We can go straight to do the scan. If not, if you wait for the hospital’s procedure, you might not be able to do it today.”
Elyette was speechless.
Although he was rich, he was not at Aryadelle. He also has connections over there, but it was indeed easier to rely on Averie for medical consultations.
Elyette and Averie came out of the room. Everyone’s gaze landed on Elyette’s face.
“Daddy, why did you knock yourself?” Layla looked at Elyette in confusion.
Mike gasped, “Didn’t I tell yoụ the reason already? The room your father is in is too small.”
Layla glanced at the room. “But I don’t find it small at all!”
Mike said, “That’s because your father is much bigger than you. This room is not small for you, but for your father, it’s too small.”
Layla looked at Elyette once more. “Oh, Daddy, you poor thing. But I can’t get you to sleep in my room because Hayden would never agree to it. You can sleep in Uncle Mike’s room though. Uncle Mike’s room is huge! The bed is huge too! You two can sleep together. It’s not a problem.
Mike was bewildered.
Elyette’s expressions changed. He immediately said, “I can sleep in your mother’s room.”
Mike let out a sigh of relief.
Layla looked confused. Then, she said out loud, “But you two cannot have another child! We don’t have enough rooms at home!”
Elyette and Averie were dumbfounded.
Because of what Layla said, Elyette was distracted all during breakfast.
Averie’s mansion was clearly too small already. It was not that Averie did not have the money to change to a bigger mansion. Why did she not move to one?
He could help her buy a new mansion, but Averie would never accept his kindness.
After having her breakfast, Averie saw how hesitant he looked, she immediately said, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Elyette came to his senses. He chugged the milk in one gulp and went after Averie.
On the way to the hospital, Averie broke the silence. “Don’t take Layla’s words to heart.”
“What did she say?” Elyette did not react in time.
Averie’s face blushed red. She quickly changed the subject. “Are you still in contact with Jun? Why is his number out of service?”.
“He did send me his new number. Do you want it?” Elyette said and took his phone out. He found Jun’s new number and sent it to her.
“It’s not for me. He suddenly changed numbers, isn’t that a little cruel?”
“Are you standing up for Tammy?” Elyette looked at her. “Am I mişsing some crucial information? Wasn’t it-Tammy that insisted on a divorce?”
Averie heard Elyette’s tone. It did not sit well with her.
“Elyette, do all men think like you? Why would Tammy want a divorce, don’t you know why? If Tammy doesn’t love him, she doesn’t have to worry about him being pressured by his parents
“Averie, if Jun insists on being together with Tammy, no matter who pressures him, this is something that he has thought about and feels that he could bear it. Now, whether it’s Jun changing numbers or him getting married, it’s his freedom.”
The two of them did not argue over their own matter, but they fought because of Jun and Tammy.
However, Averie soon calmed down quickly. She gave Elyette’s words serious thought. After some thinking, she thought that what Elyette said made sense too.
“Why does everyone like to think from their own standpoint and do things that they think are good for the other party when it’s actually not?” Averie lamented.
“Because they think that they are right,” Elyette replied. “This not only applies to Jun and Tammy but us too.”
Averie remained silent. Even if she knew where the problem was, it was still hard to change.
This was not a situation that could be changed by one party alone. Both parties needed to change together.
When they arrived at the hospital, Averie brought Elyette to see a doctor that she knew. The doctor brought Elyette for a CT scan while Averie patiently waited in the office.
About 40 minutes later, the doctor brought Elyette back with the results.
“Averie, your friend’s head is fine.” The doctor passed the results to Averie. “Are you free in the afternoon? I want to buy you a meal.”
Averie looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, I have something on later.”
“Is it important? We haven’t chatted for a long time,” The doctor lamented.
“I have a friend coming over. He just called him and said that he was coming to look for me,” Averie explained, “I’m sorry. I will be in Bridgedale for the time being. I’ll buy you a meal one day.”
“Okay, deal. I’ll wait for your call.”
“Okay.”
Coming out of the office, Elyette asked her, “You have a friend coming? What friend?”
“Eric. He is at the airport. “Averie looked at her. “We’re going to the airport to pick him up.”
Elyette was on guard. “Is he staying at your place too?”
“Do I still have a place for him to stay?” Averie was done with Elyette’s imagination. “I’m guessing he is here to give the children gifts.”
“It’s clear what he is up to by trying to please my children,” Elyette’s cold voice came over.
Upon hearing that, Averie chuckled. “Your head is already so swollen, yet you still have the time to think nonsense. Although you didn’t have a concussion, you still need to rest.”
Elyette pursed his lips and said nothing more.
A moment later, they arrived at the airport and successfully picked Er up.
Er was a little surprised when he saw Elyette, but he did not care for Elyette.
Once he got in the car, he took a gift box out and passed it to Averie. “Averie, Happy New Year.”
Elyette was sitting in the passenger seat in front. Looking at the intricate gift box, his eyes were cold.
Averie happily accepted the gift. She opened it and saw a shimmering necklace with precious stones.
“This must be expensive! I’ve already said before to not give me expensive gifts.” Although Averie liked the necklace a lot, she found it too expensive.
She barely finished her sentence when Elyette had already snatched the box over and returned it to Eric.
“Whatever jewelry that she likes, I can buy it for her. She can buy it on her own too. She doesn’t need you to give it to Ker.” There was undisguised aggression in his tone.
Averie furrowed her brows. Just when she was about to say something, Er said, “Oh, so other than fighting with her, you would also buy her gifts?” His calm jabs infuriated Elyette to no end!
“Elyette,” Averie called him when she saw his darkened expressions. She immediately said, “It’s the New Year. You don’t have to argue just on small matters.”
He slightly calmed down upon hearing what she said.
Er said, “I have been giving Averie gifts every festivity, other than giving her a ring, I have given her every other type of jewelry. You usually don’t care for her, now I’m just doing what I usually do, what right do you have to get angry?”
Averie’s impression of Er was always a gentle one. At that moment, when he was questioning Elyette, she felt it rather strange.
Of course, she did not get angry at Er because of what he said. Er was targeting Elyette because of her.
“So what?” Elyette raised his eyebrows. He said condescendingly, “Are you together with her already? If not, shut up.”
Er was speechless because of this.
