"Your Daddy is still sleeping. It's only six-something in the morning right here," Avery softly replied to Layla before greeting the others. "Wesley, Shea, Kiara, and Robert. I miss all of you! I want to go back to see you all."
"Avery, are you all alright?" Wesley asked, concerned.
"Hmm. He has returned to me for an entire day," Avery's gaze was gentle. Her tone was light too. "Don't worry about him.
Especially Shea..."
"Mommy, I was also very worried for Daddy! " Layla grumbled a little.
"I know you were worried for Daddy, but your Aunt Shea has lost a lot of weight because of your daddy's incident. I feel terrible for her," Avery explained to Layla," Of course, no matter what happened to your daddy, I hope that this won't affect your learning and your life."
"It doesn't affect me. I have been studying well every day. Mommy, go wake Daddy up! All of us want to see him. If you don’t want to wake him up, let us see him. I'm sure that's okay, right?" Layla tried to bargain with Avery.
Avery naturally was not willing to wake Elliot up, so she agreed to let them see Elliot sleeping.
She took her phone and gently walked out of the washroom.
On the huge bed, Elliot's eyes were closed. He was sleeping soundly. The curtains were shut, so it was quite dim inside.
It might be even blurrier for the people seeing through the video. Avery went to the window to draw the curtains a little so that they could see clearer Elliot's face.
The light outside the window was not too bright at that moment, so Avery drew the curtains fully.
"Mommy, where is Daddy? Didn’t you say that you were going to let us see Daddy?" Layla said worryingly when she did not see Elliot.
Layla's voice spread throughout the entire room.
Avery looked at Elliot on the bed in shock. He was a perceptive and alert person, at least he used to be.
