He had been to the inside of the Intensive care units and the sight of all the machines sent chills down his spine.
If he ever fell severely ill in the future, he did not want Avery to drive herself to the ground trying to save him; if there was no way
to alter one's fate, they should all face it withposure.
Knowing what Elliot was trying to say, Layla stilled.
The surgery was scheduled a week away.
The weather in Bridgedale grew colder and it would snow almost every day; whenever it was not snowing, there would still be
extremely strong wind and the winter this year simply seemed so much harsher than the ones in the past.
Layla and the others all remained inside their rooms with heaters, but as the date for the surgery approached, stress and fear
began to weigh down on them.

During dinner, Avery noticed that everyone was losing their appetite and said, "have you prepared any gifts for Eric?"
Eric's parents were staying in Avery's mansion as well. They had wanted to stay in a hotel instead, but Layla convinced them to
stay with her instead, so theyplied.
After all, Avery lived in the shouse as well and she was the one who knew Eric's condition best.
"We will buy something after dinner. Mom, will he wake up right away after the surgery?" Layla said immediately.
Avery nodded. "That's why I'm asking if you have prepared any gifts."
"Is there a possibility that he might have lost his memories for using someone else's heart?"
"Of course, not. Even if he does lose his memories, it won't be because of the heart implant. Memories are stored in the brain and
so long he hasn't taken any damage to his head, he wouldn't lose his memories," Avery explained.
"Good. How long will it take for him to wake up after the surgery?"
"If everything goes well, he should wake up within twenty-four hours."
"So we can speak with him soon?"
"He would feel really weak after the surgery, so let's leave him alone for a while," Avery said. "After dinner, take Mr. and Mrs.
Santos out to stretch your legs. | will have to head back to the hospital later. By the way, it's really cold outside, so make sure you
put on enough layers."
"Sure. Take care of yourself as well, Mom." Layla was overwhelmed with guilt when she saw how exhausted Avery looked. Had it
not been the trouble she caused, her mother would not have to remain in Bridgedale for so long, nor would she spread herself thin
in an attempt to save Eric.

"Eat up! The food is getting cold," Avery said and turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Santos. "You wouldn't want Eric to worry about you
once he wakes up, would you?"
The next day, the surgery was carried out as scheduled.
Elliot and Layla stood outside the operation room, while Eric's parents sat on one of the benches on the corridor.
Tticked by.
The surgery started at ten in the morning and up until noon, the door to the operation room was still shut.
Mike delivered lunch for the four and tried to convince them to eat.
"lI don't have an appetite... Maybe after the surgery." Layla stared at the sign on the door that said 'in operation’.
