NovelAppMike's pent-up unhappiness disappeared immediately after hearing her words.
What she said was true.
Elliot had an irritable temper, and he would almost certainly lose his mind if he knew that Shea was still alive. He would even go so far as to kidnap Adrian and tie him down to the operating table just so Shea could get the kidney transplant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the off chance that the operation failed and he saw Shea dying before his own eyes, how was he even supposed to face that immense blow? "There's only one way to solve the problems you mentioned,” Mike said after calming down, "Bringing Shea to him if her surgery is successful." Avery nodded. "I know. That was my plan all along. Elliot would have been so happy to see her." "But he has misunderstood your intentions right now!" Mike roared. "He's not the only one who hates you right now. The people around him hate you too, including Ben and Chad..." "Tammy told me." Although Avery was a little heartbroken, she was not concerned with their view of her. "Wesley didn’t wantto worry about Shea because he doesn't wantto be put in a tight spot, but that's not something | can do. Shea's in the state she is now because of Robert. If | ignore her, I'll live the rest of my life with a bad conscience." "Ignorance is bliss. You're not the type who can ignore something that you know," Mike knew her too well. "But you have to plan tor the worst. If Shea dies, then your relationship with Elliot would be completely dead. You can’t just assthat things will always end happily even though you've already gone through so much trouble together." Avery said dejectedly, "I've already cthis far. There's no turning back." "Don't be scared. I've always told you that I'll support whatever decision you make. | won't so much as say half a word if you want to sell the company to save Shea." "I don't know when I'll meet Elliot, but my agreement with Henry is next Friday. Let's wait until then!" She was already sweating buckets. "Let's go in! | need to take a shower." Mike went to meet the two children after Avery went upstairs.
Layla had been staring at them while they were chatting outside earlier.
"Hey, Uncle Mike, we might be moving back again because Mommy ?f(; TMP: Daddy quarreled with each other.” Layla then asked. "Will you move back in with us if we do?" "I can move back in with you if that's what you want." Mike patted her head. "Layla, whatever happens between your parents is best left to them. As a kid, your job is to study well and grow up to be a good person.
"Easy for you to say. It'd be great if | was as young as Robert." "When Robert grows up, he'll also learn to notice when your mother is unhappy.
That's life. We can't be happy all the time, but we shouldn't be miserable all the teither. It's the sfor your mother and everyone else," Mike explained to her.
"But you look very happy every day!" Layla said.
"When | cry, | always hide under the blanket,” Mike teased.
"Hahaha! | want to see you cry next time!" Layla smiled.

"I miss the life we used to have when we stayed together.” "I'll always be beside you guys, Layla. I'l go with you when you're on your summer vacation." The weekends were over in the blink of an eye.
When Monday came, Avery drove to the company after Layla went to school that morning.
She had a very strong hunch in her heart that Elliot might show up soon.
After arriving at the company, she attended her regular Monday meetings.
The heads of various departments reported the previous week's progress to her.
She did not express her opinion on the reports, but before the end of the weekly meeting, she said, "Although Mike is the Director of Operations, he's the real boss of this company. | have too many personal affairs and I'm not always at the company. If anyone has any urgent matters and I'm unreachable, you may contact Mike directly.” Mike followed her into her office after the meeting.
