Chapter 1228


    Elliot was not going to die! Neither was she! She would not give in to Cole''s ns!


    After collecting herself, she came to the inpatient unit. Mike and the children had just left Shea''s ward.


    "Mommy!" La saw Avery and ran toward her. Avery opened her arms wide, hugging her daughter in


    her arms.


    "Mommy, I missed you so much! Do you miss me?" La said coquettishly in Avery''s arms.


    "Of course, I did. If you two hadn''t returned, I would have gone to you." Avery kissed La on the


    cheek.


    "Mommy, we saw Shea. She knows that Daddy isn’t her brother. She cried, but we


    coaxed her." La recounted to Avery what had happened. "When Shea gets discharged, let her stay


    with us!"


    "Sure! But I have to go look for your Daddy first," Avery said to her children truthfully." I’m going to go to


    Ylore. Whether I can find your father or not, I will return once per month."


    La pouted. "If you onlye back once per month. That means you''ll only be back twelve times in


    one year. What if you still can’t find Daddy?"


    Avery was stunned for a while. "If I still can''t find him by the end of the year, then I''ll give up for a


    while."


    "If you can''t find him, does that mean that he won''t return forever?" La was suddenly sad.


    She finally reconciled with Elliot with much difficulty. They only had a short period of happiness when


    he left again.


    "Am I destined not to have a father?" thought La.


    "La, I can''t answer your question. Daddy is an adult. He is not a child. He might return in the future,


    or he might not." She smiled stiffly. "Let''s go get you two some food!"


    They found a restaurant nearby.


    Hayden took a golden trophy out from his bag and passed it to Avery.


    "Mommy, for you. "


    Avery epted the trophy and saw that it was for being the champion of the ''Hacker Cup''.


    "Didn''t you refuse to take part?" Avery was stunned.


    "Later, my teacher persuaded me." Hayden lowered his gaze. "So, I took part in the finals."


    "Hayden, you''re amazing! I knew back then that the qualification test was all due to your abilities. It has


    nothing to do with Daddy." Avery hugged the trophy. "I’m proud of you!"

    "Mommy, I will be an amazing person in the future. I also want you to be proud of me," La


    furrowed her brows >b(:PLS> said seriously.


    "There is not a day when I''m not proud of the both of you," Mike chimed in coolly. " Have some food


    first! I''ll send you back to rest after this. Tomorrow, your Uncle Eric ising to pick you up. Your


    mother is also going to Ylore, leaving me and Big H behind, all alone."


    Hayden said, "I have things nned for the summer. I don''t have the time to y with you."


    Mike was bewildered.


    "Don''t you need to head to thepany to check on it?" Avery looked at him. "Now that Elliot is not


    around, Wanda will most likely return."


    Mike said, "If you did not bring her up, I would have almost forgotten about this old hag. She has been


    hiding in Bridgedale for so long without any news of her. She sure can hold on."


    "If not, how could she have such achievements today?" Avery said calmly," Before my father passed


    away, could you imagine that all she did was dress up and gamble and nothing else? Losing her


    partner seemed to have given her a new life."


    Mike stuck his thumbs up. "Sometimes being in love will affect your work. Haven''t you noticed about


    yourself? Before you reconciled with Elliot, you were amazing at work! Once you got back together with


    him, you barely have energy for work anymore."


    "That''s because of my pregnancy and wedding. It has nothing to do with being in love," Avery retorted.


    "If this incident did not happen, Elliot''s and my life would have gotten back on track."
