Chapter 292


    Avery took her phone from La. She saw that it was from Wesley. She immediately answered it.


    "Avery, happy new year!" Wesley''s delighted voice came through.


    Avery chuckled. "Wesley, happy new year''s eve! I''ll save the new year greeting for tomorrow."


    "Hahaha! Have you all had your dinner? I initially wanted to call youter, but the hospital just passed


    on a piece of good news to me, so I can''t wait to tell you about it," Wesley paused for a while before


    saying, "Eric can sit up! He is slowly gaining consciousness!"


    Avery said, "That''s amazing!"


    "Avery, he and his family wanted to thank you. They said that they want to visit you after the New


    Year''s," Wesley said.


    "There''s no need to trouble them. I''ll go see him after the New Year''s. Right now, all he needs to focus


    on is his rehab. The others are unimportant."


    "How is it unimportant? They want to pay for his medical expenses. They asked me what would be an


    appropriate amount. I told him to discuss the matter with you."


    Avery was silent for a while. "I was just helping Professor Houghplete his unfinished work. If


    they want to pay for his medical expenses, tell them to pay it to Professor Hough''s family at the rate


    they had previously agreed upon."


    Wesley said, "I knew you wouldn''t want it."


    "Professor Hough left too suddenly." Avery''s voice suddenly turned glum. "I find it hard to ept it even


    now. He had saved so many people, yet in the end, he left us so early." 1


    "Perhaps God saw how tired Professor Hough was, so He let him rest early. Avery, let''s think of the


    good times. Don''t be too sad." Wesley changed the topic. '' When are you free? I''ll visit you."


    "I should be the one visiting you," Avery said. "I''ll take my kids along too."


    "Okay! I''m free after the second day of New Year''s. You cane any time."


    "Okay!"


    After hanging up, Avery carried La back to the dining table and sat down. Laura passed her a bowl


    of ravioli.


    "Mom, your ravioli sure is huge today." Avery looked at the ravioli in her bowl, smiled, and said, "Did


    you give me the ravioli with the coin?"


    Laura merely smiled.


    Avery carefully put the ravioli in her mouth and gently bit down. She bit into something hard. Taking out


    the coin, she said with a grin, "I knew that you love me the most! I will be very lucky in theing


    year!"


    Mike sneered and ced a ravioli in his mouth too. Then, he took out a coin from his mouth.


    "Laura ced coins in all the ravioli. I saw her do it."


    Avery said, "Mom, it won''te true that way."


    "Why not? I hope that every one of you has good luck!" Laura retorted.


    "Then, if there was only one ravioli with the coin, who would you give it to?" Avery was deliberately


    making things difficult for her mother.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Laura looked at how childish Avery was being. She gave in. "Of course, it would be you! Once you''re


    lucky, you can take good care of La, Hayden, and Mike." 1


    Avery was pleased with the answer. After the pleasant meal, Avery got her mother to rest.


    Mike stayed in the kitchen and helped Avery with the dishes.


    Soon, it was the third day of New Year''s.


    Laura returned to her old home early in the morning. Not long after Laura left, Avery took her two


    children and left. 1


    Chad would be having Mike over that day, so she chose that day for her visit with Wesley.


    "Avery, let''s go skiing!" Wesley suggested. "They made a snow pce over there. It''s gorgeous. I''ll take


    a photo of you three."


    "Okay!" Avery agreed when she saw how excited her children were.


    At the same moment, in the back of the ck Rolls-Roice, Shea was looking out at the snow in


    excitement, i


    Elliot had booked the snow pce for the day so that Shea could y. Shea liked to y, but she was


    afraid of crowded ces. So every time Elliot took her out, he would reserve the ce beforehand. Zoe


    was with them today. This time, it was Elliot who had asked her out.


    Elliot rarely looked at Zoe, but even so, he realized that she was much weaker than before. He did not


    know whether she had found him exhausting or whether Shea''s treatment had taken a lot out of her. 1


    Soon, Shea would undergo her second surgery. He hoped that Zoe would be able to stay in good


    shape.
