"Layla, what is it?" Robert saw Layla weeping. He immediately grabbed her hand and shook her.
"Daddy is missing! He might be dead!" Layla sobbed and flung Robert's hand away, running inside.
Robert wailed and cried, startled.
Mike immediately picked Robert up and said to Hayden, "Go coax Layla." Hayden strode into the house.

Hayden told Layla that Avery had almost died, and she was rescued from the brink of death with much difficulty. He hoped that Layla would be more understanding and not cry in front of Avery.
When Layla heard this, she kept herself from crying. When Robert saw that Layla had stopped crying, he too stopped crying. However, his mouth was still twitching. He looked extremely pitiful.
Mrs. Cooper bore through the heartbreak and called everyone to the dining hall for dinner.
Avery did not have an appetite, but she did not want to stop the others from having their dinner.
"Avery, I specifically cooked soatmeal porridge for you." Mrs. Cooper had heard about what had happened to Avery.
Avery's body, at that moment, could not absorb much food. She could only eat liquids, and it would take her a while to transition to solids. Once she was better only could she eat better foods.
"Thank you." Avery picked up her spoon and lowered her head, eating the porridge spoon by spoon.
"Mommy, can't you eat meat?" Layla looked at Avery and realized that she had lost a lot of weight. She must have suffered a lot.
"Layla, your Mommy can't eat meat right now," Mike explained. "She can only have soft and light foods. She has to wait a while before she can have meat." ŚwWhen Layla heard that, two streams of tears fell down her face. She quickly reached her hand out and wipe away her tears.

"Mommy, letfeed you!" Hayden said when he saw her putting down the spoon.
"I'll eat on my own." Avery looked at Hayden. "Hayden, I haven't thanked you yet. If it were not for you, I wouldn't be alive.
"Mommy, you don't have to thank me. This is what a son should do Hayden said guiltily. "I arrived too late. If I were there earlier, maybe Elliot would still be there... S For the past few days, Hayden had seen how Avery grieved for Elliot. His attitude toward Elliot had changed a little too.
He rather look for Elliot than see Avery suffer.
It was better they fight than Avery lose the will to live.
He believed that if Avery did not have her children she would surely follow Elliot to the grave.
"Woo, woo, woo... I want Daddy! I want Daddy back!" Robert suddenly started crying when he heard them talking.
