Elliot was not going to die! Neither was she! She would not give in to Cole's plans!
After collecting herself, she came to the inpatient unit. Mike and the children had just left Shea's ward.
"Mommy!" Layla 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?" Layla said coquettishly in Avery's arms.
"Of course, I did. If you two hadn't returned, I would have gone to you." Avery kissed Layla on the cheek.
"Mommy, we saw Shea. She knows that Daddy isn’t her brother. She cried, but we
coaxed her." Layla 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."
Layla pouted. "If you only come 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?" Layla 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 Layla.
"Layla, 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.
