Chapter 1770


    Avery had indeed not thought about this problem. She studied for a doctoral degree so that she


    could go to school together with Hayden.


    For the past two years, she had been living a very fulfilling life. It was also very tiring, so she was


    going to rest for a while next.


    "Avery, you''re the only person I know who took two years to graduate! I really envy you!" Someone


    raised their ss to her. She immediately raised her ss and clinked it to theirs.


    "I wish all of you a smooth graduation too."


    "We''ll be needing your luck!"


    Al fresco dining in the summer night in the light breeze made everyone rather drunk after they had a


    few sses of wine.


    At ten at night, Mike drove over to pick Avery up. Her alcohol tolerance was bad. She only had half


    a bottle before she started talking drunk.


    "Mike... is it daytime already? Today, I have an important matter..." Avery looked up and squinted


    her eyes. She could not even tell what day or year it was, whether it was day or night.


    "Your supervisor said that you only had half a bottle. How did your alcohol tolerance get worse? I


    remember that in the past you needed at least one bottle to get drunk." Mike lowered the aircon.


    The cold air instantly filled the car.


    Avery''s breathing was heavy. She reached out to rub her face, wanting to sober herself up.


    "I''m not drunk. I can still drink..." She muttered, "Wine is such a great thing. How have I not noticed


    it before? I''m so happy now... Blech..."


    Mike heard her retching. He immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped the car by the side of


    the road.


    The car just stopped when Avery instantly pushed the car door open, got out of the car, and started


    vomiting.


    Mike quickly left the car, taking water and tissue over to her.


    "You better not drink in the future! Look at you right now. I''m going to record it down and send it to


    you so that you can watch it once you’re sober." Mike got his phone out and started recording it.


    After Avery hurled, she was much soberer. She epted the water and rinsed her mouth before


    wiping her face with the tissue.


    "Mike, what time is it now?" She felt as if her body was empty.


    "It''s ten-thirty! Let''s go home quickly!


    Hayden is waiting for you at home." Mike helped her into the car. "Do you still remember what you


    said in the car?"


    Avery responded, "I''m really not drunk. If I were drunk, I wouldn''t have remembered what I said."


    "You''re drunk. You’re just not that drunk that as to have a ckout." Mike returned to the driver''s


    seat ;b.


    "Hmm. They didn''t force me to drink. I just wanted to drink with them. For the past two years, they


    have been taking care of me. I''m the oldest amongst my supervisor''s students. I''m junior to them


    and yet they still respect me."


    "That''s because you''re better than them. Naturally, they will respect you," Mikemented. "Society is


    built this way. Either you have power or capabilities. If not, no one would even notice you."


    Avery begged to differ. She believed that there were truly kind people. This world was much bigger


    than what they could see. There were far more people in this world than they could have ever


    imagined.


    She did not refute Mike. After hurling, although it sobered her up a little, she still felt bad.


    After returning home, she noticed Hayden was waiting for her in the living area.


    "Mommy, I bought you some sobering concoctions.” Hayden pointed at the table." Drink up!"

    "Hmm, I''ll drink, but I''m not drunk! It’ste already, go to bed!" Avery smiled, walked over to the


    sofa, and sat down. She picked up the bowl and drank up.


    She reeked of alcohol, yet she said she was not drunk. It was truly unconvincing.
