Avery told Elliot that she would pick him up at the hospital that day, but she did not come.
The driver replied, "Avery is sick."
Elliot furrowed his brows when he heard what the driver said.
Avery got up that morning and felt extremely dizzy. She thought that it was because she did not sleep well, but after breakfast, her body temperature was on the higher side.
She took a thermometer to measure her temperature. Sure enough, she had a low fever.
It was quite windy that day. This was one of the reasons she decided not to head out. The other reason was that she was afraid that she would pass on her sickness to Elliot.
Elliot had just recovered. His body was still weak. His immune system was also slightly weaker.
When the driver went to pick Elliot up, Avery tidied up the guest room for him.
Before she recovered, they could only sleep in separate rooms. Thankfully that although she was sick, Mrs. Cooper has recovered. Although Mrs. Cooper said that she was the one who passed on the sickness to her, Avery knew clearly that her sickness had nothing to do with Mrs. Cooper.
After catching a cold, Mrs. Cooper had been home for two days. She only came over after her symptoms were lighter. When she was there, she would only leave her room during cooking times. She spent all her other time in the room. How could she have passed on the sickness to Avery?
Not long after, Elliot’s car slowly arrived and parked in the courtyard.
The driver got out of the car and opened the backseat door.
After Elliot was helped down from the car, he let go of the driver's arm.
He held his walking stick and walked over to the mansion.
He could walk steadily already, only when he got in and out of the car it was slightly more troublesome.
Robert was standing by the door. When he saw Elliot limping over, he was so frightened he immediately ran and hugged Mrs. Cooper's leg.
"Robert, don't be scared. That's Daddy!"
