"I know, Mommy. One of my classmates invitedto her birthday party a few days ago but I said no. I've been in a bad mood because both you and Daddy are gone, so I don't feel like going out to play. I chright after school every day so I'm safe. Don't worry about me," Layla said sweetly. She knew that Avery was exhausted from trying to find Elliot and she did not want to cause Avery any more worry.

"Once I find your dad, I will try talking Hayden into moving back with us. After that, we are never going to part as a family ever again." "Yay! I'm so happy that you said that, Mommy." Avery started chuckling at the sight of the overjoyed expression on Layla's face.
After the call, she turned around and noticed that the doctor was standing behind her with his briefcase. She cleared her throat awkwardly and asked, "When did you arrive? I'm fine now... I can just take santi-inflammatory drugs. I won't be needing an IV." "Any bleeding from your wound today?" the doctor asked.
"No. I've stayed hto rest today." Avery got up to pour the doctor a glass of water.
"Miss. Tate, please sit down. I don't need water," the doctor said with a smile. "If there's no bleeding, you won't need the IV. But do remember to take your medicine." "Yeah. I want to get better soon. Thank you for coming all the way here. You must be the one who mentioned the Marshall's Award to Mike, right? Thank you for telling us such an important piece of information," Avery said.

Does she think that she can do whatever she wants simply because she's older and used to be Professor Hough's junior?" Avery shook her head. "I talked to her before and she doesn't seem that reckless. Quite the opposite, actually. She seems to know exactly what she's doing < d">RNQ> appears to be really ambitious. She must be working towards something big in the dark." "You still haven't found Angela?" "She went into hiding." "That's not like her. If she has the courage to do such a thing, why won't she face up to it? Does she think she can run forever?" "Not from this. I will definitely catch her and make her explain everything to me!" Meanwhile, Natalie had stayed hfor the past two days and heard the news that Avery was targeting Angela.
Other than calls from Dean, she had not answered calls from anyone else.
She did not wish to be Dean's pawn, and neither did she want to be on the receiving end of Elliot and Avery's wrath, so she had to find a way to escape. Natalie knew that it was Leah who had betrayed her and the more she thought about it, the more resentful she grew Though they were cousins, Natalie did not intend on sparing Leah. Even if she was to die, she would make sure that Leah suffer the sfate.
