Avery pondered for a few seconds and decided to tell her son frankly, "Hayden, mother's situation is more complicated. Before your father accidentally hurt me, something was already wrong with me." "Since something was wrong with you, why didn't you go to the doctor?" "Mom was planning to go for the checkup after the New Year; otherwise, if the doctor said that | had to be hospitalized, | would have to stay in the hospital for the New Year. I'm okay with that, but you're probably not." Avery expressed her difficulties, "And the New Year was only seven days away." Hayden lowered his head gloomily.
His mother said the word 'hospitalize', and it seemed to him that her illness was rather severe.
After the waiter had served the dishes, Avery filled Hayden's plate with food.

"Hayden, mom will be fine. Mother's illness can be cured; it just needs a little time." Avery smiled, "If my problem is severe, | will definitely not be able to eat and sleep like a normal person." In the afternoon, both mother and son cto the hospital again.
Avery did a more detailed brain examination this time.
Tests revealed a hemorrhage in her brain, compressing the optic nerve.
"Miss Tate, you should be aware of your situation; it’s still quite serious," the doctor said, "But you can delay the hospitalization for a few days. I'm just anxious that your condition might suddenly deteriorate in the few days to come... What's the matter with your head injury this time? You had a craniotomy just half a year ago, and your head is fragile; why didn't you protect it? " It wasn't something Avery wanted; everything was an accident.
"In your current situation, performing a craniotomy on you is unsuitable. We can only perform a puncture and s drainage on your brain first and see how it goes." The doctor discussed the treatment plan with her, "First we will drain the blood in the brain, ?f-=S)Y> then use the drugs to nourish the nerves, to see if the optic nerve can recover." "Please prescribe smedicine for me! If | am not feeling well, | will definitely receive treatment immediately," she said.
"Yes. You must pay attention to your diet nowadays; try to eat lightly." "Okay." "The tall, thin boy outside the door..." "That's my son." Avery looked towards the door, only to see Hayden staring at her.
"Your husband didn't cwith you?" The doctor prescribed medicine for her with a smile.

The doctor gave her the prescription, "If you have any questions, cto the hospital immediately." "Thank you so much. Please helpkeep it a secret." "Don't worry; even if your husband asks, | won't tell him." She received a call from Elliot.
"How is Hayden?" he asked.
"I brought him to the hospital today." Avery replied, "No big deal." "Is he feeling better now? Does he still hurt? "He's feeling better. The doctor told him to eat lightly." "Well, It's almost dinner there; I'll go back after dinner," Elliot said.
"My uncle should be thrilled today, is he?" "For sure. He wantsto bring you and the children to play at his house next time." "Let's talk about it later!" "Where are Layla and Robert?" Elliot continued to ask.
Avery got in the car and fastened her seat belt: "I called Eric at noon, and Layla met a new friend today. He's Eric's cousin. The boy is three years older than Hayden, and Layla likes to play with him." Elliot said vigilantly: "I'm really worried that this bastard might have bad intentions towards Layla! I'll bring Layla hnow."
