NovelOnlineAvery wasn't there just to see Elliot, there was actually something wrong with him.
On the way back to the hospital, Avery could feel her heart aching.
When she went to look for the doctor in the afternoon, the doctor gave her a little black notebook that he found in the dustbin of Elliot's ward.
Avery knew that he would surely throw away the medicine too.
Avery could only crank up the music, and let all the pain flow through the music.

A deep melodious voice rang throughout the car, "Going through the rain with you, you threw the umbrella away and hugged me in the rain. We loved each other despite our differences, because of you, | can be me, we are perfect for each other.” Avery wanted to go through life's every challenge with him, but now, he had another woman by his side.
Avery wanted to use music as an outlet to forget her pain, but instead, just one single line in the song was enough to make her break down, crying.
As the light changed from red to green, Avery floored the pedal and zoomed out of the intersection.
Before Avery could get far, her phone rang. It was a video call from Hayden.
Avery immediately stopped by the road, turned off the music, and wiped away the tears on her face.
After making sure that she had her own emotions under control, Avery finally picked up the call, the moment she saw her kid's face, she could feel a smile forming uncontrollably.
"Hayden, is Layla home?" asked Avery.
"Yup," replied Hayden.
Hayden could see how red his mother's eyes were. He knew that even though she might have a big smile on her face now, she must have been crying before picking up. Hayden could not help but feel dismayed.
Hayden passed the phone to Layla and walked away.
"Mom! I'm upset! | miss you!" said Layla.

"She came but she left with Uncle Ben.
When are you coming back? If father found somebody new, | don't want him anymore! It's not like it's the first time he made a mistake, we can't just keep forgiving him! * complained Layla.
"Layla, the situation with your father is quite complicated, | can't explain it to you over the phone. | will explain everything to you when I'm back at home," said Avery.
"Little Brother already started to run, but he looks like a duck every time he runs. It's a shame you weren't here for it. Everybody here is upset, only our little brother is able to stay happy like an idiot," said Layla.
Avery did not know what to say. She did not know how she could comfort her own daughter.
Avery knew that this whole ordeal would be traumatizing for the kids.
Before Avery could think of a way to comfort Layla, Hayden took back the phone. "Mom, are you driving? You should focus on the road, I'll call you back tomorrow." "Okay," said Avery as she hung up the call < {%=PNT? went back on the road.
On the other side of the city, after downing two glasses of wine, Ruby's face was flushed red and she already seemed to be in a world of her own.
Elliot immediately got up and took Ruby by her arms and told Christopher, "I have to get Ruby back to her room first. After that, we can drink." Christopher had lost all interest in drinking with Elliot. "No need for that! If anything happens to you because of you, Ruby would surely kill me. There are plenty of chances in the future.”
