Many boys at this age are not so sensible." After the nurse took her temperature and blood pressure, she left the ward.
Avery couldn't sleep anymore.
She picked up her phone and saw a message from Elliot: [ I've been busy all day today, and | just finished taking a shower. Where are you and your son playing today? Sendspictures!] If she had a photo, she would definitely send it to him right away.
She glanced at the time; it was already one o'clock in the morning, so she replied: [ Why are you so busy on the first day? Have you started to work on anything? What are you busy with?] Elliots Why haven't you slept ?] Avery:! | slept and woke up again. Maybe | cannot rest on other beds other than my own! Why are you so busy?] Elliot;:[Typing is troublesome, can we video call?] Avery: [No, | share a room with my son. He is already asleep.] Elliot: [You share a room with your son? He's so old, and you still share a room with him.] Avery; [Separate beds, of course.] Elliot was silent for a while because he was too tired, and his mind was blank for a moment.

Are you going to live in the office next?] When Elliot saw the long string of text she sent, he immediately replied: [Wanda made Susan a juridical person of Wonder Technologies. She submitted the listing materials today, and this matter cto my attention.] Avery read the message several times, and when she replied, her fingers were shaking: [What does she want to do? !] Elliot: [Wonder Technologies has a problem, ;g%:RMY> she wants Susan to take the blame. They are also testingto see if | will help my mother. If | help her, Wonder Technologies will successfully go public, and Wanda'sworth will be multiplied by many times.] Avery: [She is still as disgusting and vicious as ever! She has never changed! ] If she were on the phone, she would growl in anger.
Elliot: [Don't be angry; | won't fall into her trap. Sendthe pictures you took with your son during the day today.] Avery: [The phone was out of power during the day, so | didn't take pictures. And my son doesn't like taking pictures.] Elliot was stunned for a moment.
He knew his son didn't like to take pictures, but Avery loved to take pictures.
Elliot: [Then sendsphotos of you ] Avery: [My phone was out of power, so | didn't take pictures.] Elliot: [Really?] Avery: [Why do you have to look at my photos? We live together daily; aren't you tired of seeing me?] When she sent this message, she felt very guilty.
She was afraid that Elliot would chere.
Elliot: [I think you don't missat all.] Avery couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth:]. Of course | miss you, but I'll go hin a few days. It's very late, you should go to bed earlier! If anything regarding Wanda and Wonder Technologies happens, you can tellanytime.] After the message was sent, she added: [It is better if you contactvia message.’ Elliot: [Got it. You sleep well too! Where are you going tomorrow?] Avery: [It hasn't been decided yet! | will discuss it with my son when we have breakfast tomorrow.] Elliot: [Don’t you have any plans at all? That is so unlike you.]
