NovelOnlineMike read the text message he sent several times but didn't understand what he meant.
Did he want to give Layla's custody to Avery, or does he want Avery to go back and live with him again? He was somewhat ambiguous in his wordings.
Mike lay down on his bed, holding Avery's mobile phone. After hesitating, he texted him back: [Are you willing to giveLayla's custody?] After the message was sent, Mike kept an eye on his phone, waiting for a reply.
If Elliot was willing to give Layla's custody to Avery, Mike promised not to hold grudges against Elliot in the future.
About ten minutes later, Elliot's messages cback: [Your daughter is ill, | don't think you care about her current situation at all, you only care about her custody.] Seeing this reply, Mike was so angry that blood rushed to his head, and his fingers quickly typed on the screen: [Whose fault is it that Layla is being sick? It's you! You didn't take good care of her, and you dare to accuse me?] After typing this string of text, Mike took a deep breath and pressed the send button.

Elliot saw the reply from 'Avery' and was heartbroken.
He wanted to have a good talk with her, but she didn't want to.
Still, he wanted to have a good chat with her about Layla.
He was afraid that she would not answer the phone, so he sent her a message: [Let's talk on the phone about Layla!] Mike yawned sleepily when he edited the text message and was about to send it.
Mike turned off Avery's phone.
Before Avery's eyes recovered, she couldn't use her mobile phone, so her phone didn't need to be turned on.
Elliot sent the text message, and after about two minutes, he dialed her number.
‘Sorry, the user you dialed is unavailable; please try again later.’ His face turned ashen! He had made it so evident in the text message that he was calling her for Layla's business, but not only did she not reply to his messages, she even turned off the phone to avoid his calls! It was as if she said: [Don't bother me!] Although she didn't say this, her actions deeply hurt him.
Layla slept until noon >e+ After she woke up, Mrs. Cooper immediately poured smedicine for her to drink.
Layla sat on the bed and looked around.
Seeing herself in the room, she remembered the scene where her mother and brother left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Layla, do you remember you had a high fever last night?" Mrs. Cooper saw that Layla was confused and said, "Your fever reached 40 degrees. Your father took you to the hospital. You were put on a drip." Layla wasn't impressed.
All she knew was that she was feeling uncomfortable.
"He promised to taketo my mother's place." She vaguely remembered that her father had agreed to her request.
"You should take your medicine first. Your father is resting. When you finish your medicine, | will call him." Mrs. Cooper said calmly, "Layla, no matter where you are in the future, | hope you remain healthy. How uncomfortable it is to be sick! Not only are you suffering, but your parents are suffering too." "I've lived with my mother and brother since | was born, and | can't be separated from them." Layla opened her bright eyes and said seriously.
"Well, talk to your father nicely and don't quarrel with him. You don't know how sad he was when you said you didn't want him last night." Mrs. Cooper frowned, "It's hard to say who is right or wrong about their affairs. You'll know more about that when you're older." Layla finished drinking the medicine, and Mrs. Cooper left with the empty bowl.
After a while, Elliot entered the room.
He closed the door and walked over to Layla's bed, looking at his daughter's weak face.
"Layla, | called your mother, but she didn't answer." Elliot explained the matter to his daughter truthfully, "lI sent her a message, but she didn't accept my call." Layla looked at him intently.
"I told her all | wanted was to talk about you on the phone, and she turned off her phone." To prove his point, Elliot handed his phone to Layla.
