Avery sat up in surprise. "Don't worry he just had a look at the program department. He didn't disturb Layla," said Mike, "Chad told me that he probably knows that Hayden and Layla are his children, but he is afraid of saying anything as he knows that they don't like him. Furthermore, you are not willing to let him reconcile with them, so he has been bearing the pain of being separated from them."Also, he does not want Layla to go into the entertainment industry," added Mike. "So please come back and distract him. If he were to make a scene at the program department one day, I won't be able to control the situation."Avery's head hurt. Due to the time difference, she had not gotten much sleep last night. She really did not want to board a plane today. "I can't head back today." Avery took a deep breath, "My head hurts. I'm planning to stay home and rest.""Oh, is that so! If you're uncomfortable, you should rest well," Mike said. "Why didn't you text me when you landed? I have

The meeting went much smoother than expected. The patient's family understood clearly the risks that Avery stated. They only wished that Avery could help treat the patient. Even if the surgery failed, they would accept the outcome.After the meeting, Avery came out from the patient's home. She turned around and looked at the mansion behind her before entering the car with a heavy heart.The bodyguard reminded her to buckle her seatbelt before driving onto the wide road.Avery could not help but say, "Have you ever seen two people who were born in different countries yet looked alike?"The bodyguard said, "Miss Tate, I rarely travel. I barely know any foreigners.""Then, have you ever seen two unrelated people in the same country who look alike?" said Avery changing her question.The bodyguard thought for a while before saying, "I don't know many people, but I think situations like this do exist, only quite rare. I think I saw it on the news before. Miss Tate, why are you suddenly

At eight in the evening, the black Rolls-Royce slowly made its way to Starry River Villa.Mike heard movements and came out of the villa."Elliot, it's late. What are you doing here?" said Mike coldly. "Didn't you say you'll come by in the afternoon? It's already dark. Does your afternoon run on a different clock?" Elliot looked up and said, "Is there any difference between me coming now and coming this afternoon?" "Of course there is. If you had been here this afternoon, you would have been able to see Avery, but she is not here now," said Mike as he stood in the yard. He had not bothered to open the gate for Elliot. "I'm not going to welcome you in while she isn't around."Elliot's chest constricted tightly. "Where did she go?""Tell me what happened this afternoon first. Why did you say that you would come, and then not show up?" asked Mike haughtily. Elliot swallowed and said in a low voice, "Nora insisted on being discharged this afternoon. I sent her back. Her family in

Mike looked at Avery and asked, "Do you want to talk to him?"Avery seemed to have not heard him.She was looking out the window. It was as if she had had her soul stolen away by him. Mike stopped the car and said loudly, "Avery, go and talk to him."Avery came to her senses. She pushed the car door open and got out of the car. She had not felt the heat outside when she had been in the air-conditioned car, but now that she was out, she could feel the sweltering heat. Sweat began to bead on her forehead. She looked at Elliot's face, which had been burned red by the sun. His forehead was sweaty. His shirt was soaked through with sweat, and it stuck to his skin.She could not imagine how long he had been under this hot sun."Miss Tate, you're finally back. Mr. Foster would have probably died here had you delayed any longer," said the bodyguard unhappily. "We have been here since eight this morning! We've waited until now!"Avery was upset. She was trembling.The thought of him

Avery got up from bed. She looked at the numbers on the phone and answered the call. She had never thought that the call was a video call. "Mommy!" said Hayden in his crisp voice. Avery looked at Hayden's face and said excitedly, "Hayden! How did you video call me?""I hacked into the camp's internet and called using a virtual account." Hayden had a rare smile. "Mommy, is Layla back?""She is, but she just went out with Uncle Mike. They are not back yet." Avery's face was filled with tenderness. "Hayden, how are you finding camp? Your teacher just called me a few days ago and said that you have made some friends from other countries." "Mommy, I'm grown up. You don't have to worry about me." Hayden sounded mature. "How could I not worry about you? Even after you've grown up, I'll still miss you and worry about you." Avery looked at her son's face. No matter how much she stared at the screen, she still could not get enough of him. "There are ten more days before I can see yo
