"Let's go to the hospital to get her checked up. We will decide where she lives after that!" Avery glanced at Rose. "She's a great kid, and I think she likes me too. She said that there were others who had wanted to take her away, but she turned them all down. She wasn't as afraid when she saw me."
"Yeah, it'll be great if you can help her. It's not that safe for her to stay in that church." Elliot glanced at Rose's white hair and mumbled, "She looks like a little angel."
"Elliot, I knew you wouldn't say no, but I didn't think you would be this enthusiastic. You surprised me."
"Am I that cold of a person?" He reflected on the matter. "I think you associate me with the Elliot you knew before I met the kids. Since the children have entered my life, I've always been kind."
The two bodyguards sitting in the driver and passenger seats came close to bursting into laughter.
Avery studied Elliot's face and said, "Indeed, I will have to change that perception of mine. Go home and rest once we arrive. I will take Rose to the hospital."
"Shouldn't you let her rest for today?" Elliot did not see the point in rushing. "There's no cure for her condition at the moment, right? So long as there are no symptoms, she can still live a normal life."
Avery hesitated, before deciding to accept Elliot's suggestion. "Let's rest for today, then. I'll take her to the hospital tomorrow."
"She will stay with us tonight. Layla and Robert will love her."
"She will love them, too," Avery said with a smile, before tensing at the thought of Ivy and how happy her children would have been if she had brought Ivy back instead.
In the afternoon, Robert returned home from school and followed the bodyguard into the living room with his backpack as usual.
