"Why are you in my study?" Avery strode up to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike had Elliot's bodycheck results in his hands and was reading through them with such attention that Avery knew he was reading Elliot's results and not his own. He would not read his own results with such intensity.
"I'm reading the medical reports! You haven't toldanything..." "He was there during dinner. Who would ask about someone's medical reports right in front of them like you did?" Avery snatched the reports away from him and placed them on the desk. "There was, indeed, a special device implanted in his brain. Apart from that, there is no abnormality in his physical condition. I don't fully understand the thing inside his brain, but everything else about him is normal." "Isn't that a good thing?" Mike seemed slightly surprised at the outcome. "Is Angela really that capable of miracles? That device literally brought the dead back to life." "What, "dead"? Mike, stop saying things like that in front of me!" This was the second tAvery had heard something like this today, with Natalie being the first person to mention it. It did not matter if it was meant to be sarcastic or merely a joke, but she simply felt disturbed by it.
"I didn't mean it... I just mean that since he isn't any different from an ordinary person, you should tell him to stop pulling a long face." Mike placed his hand on her shoulder. "Isn't it tough to have to look at that cold, expressionless face every day?" "He isn't cold toin private." She shoved his hand away. "Go away. I'm busy." "I'll go, but when are you going to sleep? It's nine." "None of your business. I'm not a child." She glared at him. If Mike refused to go, she intended to push him out the door herself. "Have you noticed that Hayden has been in a bad mood lately?" Mike was about to step outside but stopped halfway. "Ever since Elliot got back, Hayden doesn't really talk to us anymore." "How could I not notice? I know my son. He probably can't accept how Elliot has changed. He might have resented Elliot before, but Elliot is still his father and has tended to Hayden's every need ever since he found out that Hayden is his son. Hayden can't possibly be immune to what happened." "True. Big H looks cold on the outside, but he is actually a caring kid." "He hates it when people refer to him as a kid." "Um... I will have a heart-to-heart with him. Don't stay up too late. I will ccheck the study again at twelve," Mike said, before leaving.
Avery sighed and sat down in the chair. She moved to set her phone down, and out of force of habit, she glanced at it before doing so and noticed the messages from Sebastian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had not contacted Sebastian ever since she brought Elliot back as there was not much to say.
She paled when she saw the messages and panicked. She dialed Sebastian's number with trembling hands, and he picked up right away.
"Have you seen the messages I sent you?" He asked.
"I did! Is your dad really planning to do that?!" Avery felt as though the world was spinning before her, and all she could do was support her head on her hand. "Angela promisedthat she won't cafterand Elliot..." "What I told you were only my dad's thoughts. Angela is not with my dad these past two days because she is busy with apartment hunting for her daughter. She probably has no clue about my dad's plan!" Sebastian gasped and warned her, "Avery, if you really end up marryingfor Elliot's sake, please don't blme for it." Avery wanted to tell him that she would never marry him, but couldn't bring herself to say the words. If it was for Elliot's sake, she would do anything.
"I am calling Angela!" Her eyes reddened and she immediately hung up.
