They bought the tickets for 11 at night.
They could have bought tickets for the next day instead, but Avery missed the children and wanted to return home earlier.
Once they reached the airport, the bodyguards accompanied them to the check-in area. Avery and Elliot were waiting in the VIP lounge.
She leaned her head on his shoulders and said softly, "I'm feeling a little dizzy."
"If you’re sleepy, rest first. I’ll wake you up when it’s time to board." Elliot looked sideways at her.
Avery had already closed her eyes.
"Are you cold?" He reached out to grab her hand.
Her hand was warm but she said, "A little bit."
He touched her forehead. "Are you having a fever? Your temperature is a little high."
Avery reached out and touched her forehead when she heard what he said.
Then, she touched his forehead. "I think mine is higher than yours but other than feeling dizzy-"
"Wait for me here, I’ll go get a thermometer for you." Then, he walked over to the service counter. He soon returned with a thermometer.
Avery accepted the thermometer and placed it under the armpit.
A server brought them some hot water.
"Thank you." After thanking the server, she picked up the cup of water. She wanted some hot water.
"Since when did you start feeling dizzy? If I knew you were feeling unwell, we shouldn’t have gone to dinner with them." Elliot touched her forehead once more. He was sure that she was having a fever.
"I was still feeling fine during dinner. I only felt dizzy during the ride to the airport." After a few sips of hot water, she put down the cup. "Stay further away from me. I’m afraid I will pass on the cold to you."
"I never catch a cold," Elliot said. "Your body is still too weak."
Elliot took the thermometer
