"Dad!" La ran into the guest bedroom and found him standing in front of the bed with a scowl.


    "What''s wrong?" He had only gone into the room out of curiosity and noticed that there was a mattress inside the room with traces of someone having slept on it.


    "Dad, this is... the room Amy was using and her personal belongings are still in here... There''s nothing to look at," La said and scanned the room. To her bewilderment, Eric was nowhere to be found. "Where is he hiding?" she thought. "It''s a good thing that he hid, though. If Dad finds him, we will both be dead!"


    "Aren''t you two friends? Why didn''t she stay to take care of you when you are this weak?" Elliot asked.


    "She wanted to, but I sent her home. I feel drowsy and don''t really want to interact with anyone. Dad, you don''t know what it feels like to have your period. You can ask Mom about it," La said before walking back to the kitchen.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    "You don''t want to interact with people but have enough strength to cook?"


    "I was quite weak when she was around! I started feeling better after a nap." Her exnation was reasonable.


    "Fine. We will leave once you finish your food. We won''t overstay our wee." Avery put away all the food on the table. "I''ve put the prepared ingredients inside the fridge. I saw a lot of pasta in the cab, too. Make sure that you don''t just eat pasta for every single meal! If you don''t feel like cooking, you can order food! You can basically buy everything online now!"


    "I know! I just bought the pasta because I felt like it, and I don''t even know if I can finish it." La finished all the food on her te and said, "Mom, I will put the rest into the fridge so I can eat them tomorrow." Avery and Elliot did not respond as their heart ached for their daughter.


    La had never eaten leftovers in


    velet


    her life, and they could not ept that she had to struggle after e moving out, knowing that she would have been better off with a servant.


    "Mom, Dad, stop looking at me like that! I''m doing fine... I just look weak because I''m on my period. I wilt recover in a few days!" La forced a smile.


    "You have never been so weak on your period in the past." Avery recalled thest time La was on her period and said, "Are you sure you are alright?"


    "I''m really fine!" La sighed at how Avery managed to see right through her. "You just think I look different because you haven''t seen me in two days."


    "Alright! La, remember to tell us if


    anything happens. If it''s something that you don''t feelfortable sharing with your dad, you can alwayse to me," Avery said.


    "Of course! You are not just my mom, but also my best friend! I won''t keep anything from you," La promised.


    Relieved, Avery went to see La''s bedroom and left after confirming that it was clean.


    As soon as they were gone, La set the te down and hurried into the guest bedroom.


    "Eric! My parents are gone! Where are you hiding?"


    Just then, the closet door opened and Eric stepped outside.
