Chapter 2212


    Avery held Robert with one arm and held La''s hand with another as she stepped into the


    mansion with a gentle smile.


    "Judging from how rxed you look, I am guessing that everything with Elliot is alright?" Mike said


    with a smile.


    "He''s doing fine," she said. "Are you leaving? Drive safe."


    "You don''t even bother asking me to stay," he pouted.


    "It''ste now so stop being such a drama queen," Avery said with amusement, before handing


    Robert to Mrs. Cooper and heading to Hayden''s room to tidy it up.


    "Avery, we kept Hayden''s room exactly the way it was before he left, and we clean it every week, so


    he can use it as long as we change the sheets," Mrs. Cooper said with Robert in her arms. "You


    should have told me that you areing home."


    "We decided in the heat of the moment so it was quite rushed."


    "Yeah, it''s alright. Why don''t you take Hayden to his room? I will take Robert back to bed," Mrs.


    Cooper said, before turning to look at La. "La..."


    "I want to go to see Hayden''s room. I''m not sleepy at all right now!" Without hesitation, La


    followed her mother and brother into Hayden''s room.


    "Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight!" La clung to Avery''s arm.


    "Sure!" Avery had missed her daughter as well. "Let me go change Hayden''s sheets for him first."


    "I can help, Mommy!"


    "Of course!" Avery pulled out clean sheets from the closet and said to Hayden, "Hayden, go wash


    up."


    Hayden set his backpack down and took out his pajamas from his luggage, before heading into the


    bathroom.


    As soon as the bathroom door closed, La immediatelyined to Avery, "Mommy, am I


    grown up now? I feel like I''m still a little kid!"


    "La, did you try sleeping with Hayden?" Avery couldn''t help but chuckle. "You will always be a


    little girl to me, but you and Hayden are both grown up now."


    "I don''t want to grow up, Mommy. I want to be your little baby forever."


    "And you always will be."


    "I''m also Daddy''s little baby." La held onto the nket on Hayden''s bed.


    "Of course."


    "Mommy, is Daddy sick again? You never tell me anything, but I figured it out. Why else would Dad


    stay in the hospital?"


    "Yeah." Averyid the sheets out and confessed, "Your dad is in the ICU right now and he hasn''t


    regained consciousness. He will be fine if he wakes up, though. I went to the hospital to see him


    just now, and I think he''s going to wake up soon."


    La had not thought that her father''s condition would be severe enough for him to be admitted to


    the ICU and tears instantly gathered in her eyes.


    "La, go to my room to wait for me. I need to talk to your brother alone." After changing the


    sheets, Avery took the old ones from La''s hands.

    "Alright!"


    Once La was out of the room, Avery went to ce the old sheets into theundry basket, and


    shortly after, Hayden stepped out of the bathroom.


    Avery knew that it waste and didn''t want to take too much of Hayden''s time. "Hayden, I need to


    talk to you about something."


    Before she began, Hayden already knew what she was about to say. "I know what you want to say,


    Mom. Uncle Mike talked to me just now."


    Surprised, she asked, "And what do you think?"


    "What''s between you and Elliot is up to the two of you." Hayden had matured as he grew older. "As


    long as you are happy."
