NovelOnline"Layla, quiet down. Your dad is fine so far, but he's still weak so | can't take you to the hospital to see him. | will take you to him tomorrow."
"But | want to go see him now!" Layla yelled as she dragged Avery into her room. "| want to go shower now..."
"Layla, your dad is sleeping now, so we are not going there tonight."
"Can | go see him tomorrow, then?" Layla desperately wanted to see her father.
"Sure. You will need to go to sleep early tonight, then." Avery took Layla back to her room. "Also, don't run into the rain like that again. | wouldn't be
this worried if it's summertime, but you could easily catch a cold during winter."
"I'm not cold, Mommy. My clothes are almost dry.” The thin t-shirt Layla was wearing had mostly dried while she was in the car.
"Maybe you and Hayden are okay, but Robert isn't." Avery sighed. "Didn't Robert mention that he was hot in the car?"

"He didn't say anything! If he had, we wouldn't ignore him."
"Maybe he didn't mention it because he was worried about you two," Avery guessed.
Layla had a different theory in mind. "I think Robert fell asleep and only woke up when we arrived home."
Avery felt very sorry for Robert, but she could not blLayla and Hayden because they did not do it on purpose.
After washing Layla and drying her, Avery went to check on Robert.
Robert had already cout of the shower and had changed into new pajamas. He had seemingly recovered, except that the skin on his neck was
still red.
"Mommy, look!" Robert had already forgotten about the unpleasant experience earlier. He had slept for a while inside the car and felt extremely
energetic. He held the toy robot that Hayden had bought him and showed it to Avery.
"Hayden bought this for me. This robot can transform! It's super cool!" Robert said as he took out the remote controller to control the robot.
"Robert, you know that your dad was sick, right? He's going to get better soon. | will take you to the hospital to pay him a visit tomorrow, okay?" Avery
crouched before Robert and said.
"Sure!" Robert looked up and beamed. "Hayden boughtother things as well. | want to give them to Daddy!"
He went to the shopping bags on the coffee table and pulled out a toy that resembled a flashlight.
"Look, Mommy!" He turned it on and flashed it on the floor. Instantly, a cartoon photo was projected onto the ground.
It was Robert's favorite cartoon character.
He pressed the switch and another pattern appeared on the ground.
It was a mini projector, and Avery could tell that Robert really liked the toy.

"Robert, you should keep your toys because | don't think your dad has the energy to play with them."
"Oh, okay! | feel bad for Dad."
"Darling, he is alright. Let's go see him tomorrow. He is definitely going to be overjoyed." Avery could already imagine the sight of the children
reuniting with Elliot.
"So we don't have to go to school?!" Robert clapped his hands in excitement.
Avery chuckled. "Darling, do you hate going to school that much?"
He thought about it for a moment and nodded. "It's more fun to stay at home!"
"But there are no kids around here to play with you!"
"I have all these toys to keepcompany. | don't need other kids!" He pouted and said.
