NovelOnlineAvery had never been that afraid of having her health fail her.
She had quarreled with Elliot countless times before and suffered from sleepless nights, yet she still survived even though she was exhausted from work and lacked sleep or food.
She never remembered her body acting like this before. It was as if her organs were just going to stop working at any time.
Avery answered the phone and listened as Wesley said, "Adrian's awake, Avery. He is mentally stable.” "That's good to hear. What about Shea?" "She's still unconscious, but at the moment, all her vital signs are within the normal range." "Okay. I'll go to the hospital later.” After she hung up, she heard Mike waking the children up outside.

After a while, there was a knock on Avery's door.
She immediately went to the door and opened it.
to her surprise, Hayden was standing outside her door.
She initially thought that Mike had cto wake her up! "I'm sorry, Mommy." Hayden raised his head, looked at Avery, and apologized. "I shouldn't have said that to you yesterday." Hayden had thought about what he had said all night and had cto the conclusion that he had crossed the line.
He was going back to school, and if he did not cto apologize to his mother soon, she might feel sad for a very long time.
"I'm not angry. It's true that I'm the one who has a bigger problem with my relationship with your dad,” Avery said frankly. "He wouldn't be in this situation if he didn't know me. I'll look for him when Shea's situation improves, and | might not be able to take care of you and your siblings until | do." "I don't need you to take care of me. Layla and Robert are also being taken care of.
Just do what you want!" "Did | disappoint you, Hayden?" Avery felt very guilty.
"You're my mom. | just want you to be safe ? a# Hayden's answer touched Avery and set her at ease.
After sending them off, she went back to her room and sat down by her bed.

She picked up her phone and searched her contacts for the phone number of her doctor friend.
"I need ssleeping pills. Could you bring them to my place?" "Are you the one who needs them?” "Yeah. I've been losing sleep lately and taking melatonin doesn't help.” She took melatonin every night before going to bed, but she still did not get a wink of sleep.
"Are you at hnow? I'll send it to you right away." "Yeah, | am. Thanks." The friend brought the sleeping pills to her after about half an hour later.
"Avery, | saw the news of your husband on the Internet." Her friend gave her the medicine and comforted her. "I hope you won't be so hard on yourself. Even without your husband's source of income, you can still live comfortably on your own. Don't let your health be affected over that.” Her friends there did not know the extent of her relationship with Elliot after so many years.
To the outside world, she was sad because Elliot changed from being a rich man into an ordinary person.
She did not want to explain too much to them.
"I'll caround if | sleep well," she said.
"Okay. I'm a bit afraid to give you too much in case you overdose," the friend said. "This is only one week's supply. I'll give you smore if you still need it after that.” "Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal next time." She returned to her room after sending her friend away. Before she took the medicine, she sent Wesley a message: [ | didn't rest well last night, Wesley. I'll try to get ssleep now and head to the hospital once | wake up.] Avery took a pill and lay on the bed after sending the message.
