    "It’s only six o''clock in the morning where your mother is. You can call her in another hour," Mrs.


    Cooper said reassuringly. "Your mother is out on a job and she''lle back once she finishes it."

    "What’s going to happen with Robert and if mommy doesn''te back?" La felt frustrated all of a


    sudden.


    Robert immediately burst into tears.


    Mrs. Cooper picked Robert up and tried to check why he was crying.


    A car pulled up outside the courtyard.


    La saw it and went outside immediately.


    Mike got out of the car and came up to them.


    "Uncle Mike!" La cried and ran over!


    Mike frowned, walked up to La, and picked her up. "Don''t cry, La! What''s the matter?"


    "I miss Mommy and Daddy." She reached up to rub her eyes.


    "Isn''t your dad at home?" Mike remembered seeing Elliot when he came over the previous night.


    However, the two men did not speak much because Mike did not say anything to him.


    "He''s gone, and we can''t reach his phone either." La pouted. "Mrs. Cooper said my mother made a


    mistake, but I didn''t know about it and I have been ignoring Daddy since yesterday. Is he going to be


    angry? "


    "Why will he be angry at you?" Mike carried her into the vi. "It''s not your mother''s mistake per se that


    led to their argument. Just wait a little longer. They’ll reconcile with each other again after a moment."


    "Really?" La wiped away her tears.


    "Of course. When did I ever lie to you?"


    La squeezed out a smile and frowned. " Robert pooped. Bring me out!"


    Mike immediately carried her to the yard.


    An hourter, Mike gave Avery a video call, but she rejected the call in a few seconds.


    Mike froze for a moment. "Why did she hang up?" he thought.


    Mike was about to try calling her again when she called him back.


    He answered and asked, "Why did you reject the video call, Avery?" "I’m in the hospital. The inte is


    pretty bad here, so let''s make do with a normal phone call!" she exined.


    The real reason she did not ept the video call was because her eyes were swollen after crying all


    night.


    Her eyes were swollen from the crying :c(; YIV? her voice was hoarse too.


    Mike immediately sensed that something was off.


    "La misses you a lot. You should talk to her!" Mike handed La the phone.


    "La, your summer holiday is next week, right?" Avery tried to cover up his hoarse voice by speaking


    softly.


    "Mmhmm! If you don''te back next week, I''ll ask Uncle Mike to take me to Bridgedal, and I''ll see


    you there."


    "Okay!"


    "Have you gone to Hayden yet?"


    "Not yet! I''ll be busy for the next couple of days, but I''ll go to him once I''m done."


    After they finished talking on the phone, Mike took the phone from La.


    La went to do her homework after dinner and Mike immediately went to the yard to call Avery.


    Once the call was connected, Mike went straight to the point and asked, "Is Shea dead?"


    "What nonsense are you talking about!" roared Avery. The anger was evident in her voice.


    "In that case, why didn''t you answer the video then? Your voice is really hoarse too. You were crying,


    right?" Mike asked. "Is it


    Elliot... who died?"


    "You and I will never see each other again if he dies." Avery’s heart was brimming with anger when she


    heard him saying that about Elliot.


    "I''m joking! Just tell me why you''re crying!" Mike sighed heavily. "La cried earlier this evening too. It


    took plenty of effort to make her stop."


    "Elliot broke up with me," Avery said. "He doesn''t want anything. I asked him to wait for me for a few


    days, but he didn''t want to. He doesn''t want to see me ever again, nor does he want to hear my voice.


    There''s no going back this time."
