Mrs. Cooper reassured, “It’s only six o’clock in the morning on your mother’s side. Call her in another hour. Your mother is going out to work, and she will come back when her work is over.”
“If my mother don’t come back, what should I do with my brother?” Layla was suddenly frustrated.
At this moment, Robert suddenly burst into tears.
Mrs. Cooper quickly picked Robert up and checked why he was crying.
Outside the courtyard, a car stopped.
Layla saw it and went outside immediately. She saw Mike getting out of the car and striding forward.
“Uncle Mike!” Layla cried and ran over.
Mike frowned, walked a few steps to Layla, and picked her up: “Don’t cry baby. What’s the matter?”
“I miss Mom and Dad.” Layla stretched her hands and rubbed her eyes.
“Isn’t your father at home?” Mike came over last night and saw Elyette. But Mike couldn’t say much to him, so the two didn’t speak.
Layla grimaced, “He’s left. The phone can’t get through either. Grandma Cooper said it was my mother’s mistake, but I didn’t know it before. I ignored my father from yesterday to this morning. Will he be angry?”
Why is your father mad at you? Your mother and father quarreled this time, and it can’t be said that your mother made a mistake. Just wait a little longer, they will reconcile after a while.” Mike carried Layla into the villa.
“Really?” Layla wiped away her tears.
MIke: “Of course. When did I lie to you?”
Layla squeezed out a smile, then frowned: “My brother is stinking, take me out!”
Mike immediately carried her to the yard.
An hour later, Mike made a videocall to Averie. After a few seconds, Averie hung up the videocall.
Mike froze for a moment. How did she hang up?
Just when Mike was about to continue dialing, Averie’s call came.
Mike answered the phone: “Averie, why did you hang up the videocall?”
“I’m in the hospital, and the internet is not good here, so let’s call.” Averie made a reason.
The real reason Averie didn’t answer the videocall was because she cried all night last night and her eyes were so swollen today. Not only the eyes are swollen from crying, but the voice is also hoarse.
Hearing her voice, Mike heard something unusual in a second.
“Oh, Layla misses you so much. Say something to Layla.” Mike handed Layla the phone.
“Layla, you have summer vacation next week, right?” Averie tried to cover up her hoarse voice with a soft tone.
“Well, Mom, if you don’t come back next week, I’ll ask Uncle Mike to take me to Bridgedale to find you.”
Averie: “Okay!”
“Mom, have you seen my brother?”
“Not yet! Mom picks up. I’ve been busy these two days, so I’ll find your brother when I’m done.” After the mother and daughter finished talking on the phone, Mike took the phone back from Layla’s hand.
After dinner, Layla went to do her homework, and Mike immediately went to the yard and called Averie.
After the call was connected, Mike asked straight to the point: “Shea is dead?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Averie raised her voice a few times and roared angrily.
“Since Shea didn’t die, why didn’t you answer the videocall? And your voice is so hoarse, you’re crying? Could it be… Elyette is dead?” Mike asked in confusion.
“If he’s dead, we won’t see each other in the future.” Averie heard him cursing Elyette, and his heart couldn’t stop trembling with anger.
“I’m joking. Please tell me why you’re crying. Layla also cried in the evening, and it took a long time to coax him.” Mike exhaled heavily.
“Elyette broke up with me.” Averie explained the reason. Out, “He doesn’t want anything. I asked him to wait for me for a few days, but he didn’t wait. He didn’t want to see me again, and he didn’t want to hear my voice again. This time, he won’t look back.”
Mike said, “Then you just showdown with Elyette and tell him that Shea is still alive. Let him worry and suffer also. It’s better than letting him hate you alone.”
“I can’t get through to him. I haven’t been able to get through to him since last night, until now…. He probably won’t use this number again.” Averie’s voice was heavy, and she made no secret of her helplessness and grief, ” Mike, my heart seems to be dead.”
“What to die for? Even without him, you still have three children.” Mike snapped, “When is Shea’s surgery? Is the time determined?”
Averie took a deep breath and said, “If it goes well, then Tomorrow. I talked to Shea last night. She was so innocent and kind. She missed Elyette very much. I promised her that when her surgery was successful, I would take her to see Elyette.. ….but I couldn’t contact Elyette anymore…”
“You can’t contact him, maybe other people can. You need to adjust your mood first. If Shea’s operation can be successful, you are still afraid of him. Can’t you come out? I’ll take the child to Bridgedale to find you in two days.” Mike comforted her.
Averie: “Well. I’m going to the hospital.”
Mike: “Averie, love is always just the spice of life, not a necessity. Don’t be right. Life loses confidence.”
“Got it.” After talking on the phone, Mike returned to the villa. He stayed until nine o’clock at night and left when Layla fell asleep.
After coming out of Foster’s house, he drove to Chad’s house.
After Elyette left the Sterling Group, Chad seemed to have been beaten by frost.
Not to mention that Elyette will not step into the Sterling Group again in the future, just thinking that the future boss will be Adrian is not a small blow.
Adrian doesn’t understand anything, how can he be the boss of the Sterling Group?
And behind Adrian, there are Henry and his son. It means that the company has now fallen into the hands of Henry and his son.
Just thinking about it makes Chad feel sick.
He has been by Elyette’s side for so many years, and he knows how much Elyette hates this father and son.
Asking Elyette to make such a decision is tantamount to cutting the flesh from his body and feeding it into the enemy’s mouth.
After Mike came back, Chad said coldly, “Averie hasn’t returned to Aryadelle yet.”
“I told you, she won’t be back for the time being.” Mike put on his slippers and led him towards the living room, “You think of a way. Contact Elyette.”
“How can I think of a way? How can I get in touch? What if I get in touch?” Chad pushed his arm away, “I am no longer a boss or subordinate with him. You let me get in touch. What did he say?”
“Even if you are no longer a boss and a subordinate, but you have known each other for so many years. you are still friends.”
“He has many friends. There is no shortage of useless friends like me.” Chad laughed at himself and said, “Why did you ask me to find him? Are you looking for him, or Averie looking for him?”
Seeing that Chad was so angry, Mike poured him a glass of water: “What if I said Shea was looking for him? Chad, Do you really think that Averie has a vicious heart and turns her elbows out to drive Elyette to a corner?”
Chad’s expression froze, his eyes couldn’t hide his panic: “Shea? Did you just say Shea?”
Mike explained, “Yes Shea is still alive. But she is very ill. Her health is not good. After giving Robert a blood transfusion, she went into shock once, and was rescued later, and then she developed kidney failure…Shea wants a kidney transplant. If she doesn’t, she will die. Whether she will be able to recover after a kidney transplant is unknown. So Averie didn’t tell anyone about this.”
Chad Adam’s apple rolled around, and his mind was in a mess: “Shea’s kidney transplant, why should I let my boss transfer the equity?”
