Avery reflected on the twhen Hayden and Layla were Robert's age. They were also not very sociable. They were not willing to play with the other children in kindergarten.
Back then, she had been extremely worried about their mental health, especially Hayden's. He did not speak much.
Mrs. Cooper could see what Avery was worried about, so she smiled and comforted her. "Robert has good mental health for someone his age. It's not that he completely doesn't play with the other children at the kindergarten. He has good friends there, but he prefers to play more at home. Sometimes, I take him to the neighborhood and I meet with other children's parents. When I talk to them, they tellthat there are children who hate going to school more than Robert does." "I'm just overly concerned. Robert does seem livelier and healthier compared to others, in every aspect." "Yes!" At that, Mrs. Cooper suddenly thought of Elliot. "Is Master Elliot out of danger already? There should be no more accidents in the future, right?" "I think so." Avery did not dare hope for certainty when it cto the future. "Let's wait for a few days and let him recuperate. We'll do a detailed check on him then." "Hmm, Avery. Please don't let anything happen to you two again in the future. Let's not even think about whether the children will be able to bear the shock yet. I worry for you two. I was so scared that I was going to have a heart attack," Mrs. Cooper said.

"Okay." The next morning, Avery brought the three children to the hospital to visit Elliot.
She did not expect Ben and Chad to be in the ward.
"Why are you all here so early?" Avery said, greeting them. "It's only about seven plus in the morning." "Ben was here last night. He kept watch over Elliot through the night," Chad said. "I just arrived." "Oh." Averyglanced at the man in bed." "Uh... Ben, since Avery is here, why don't I send you back to rest?" Chad pulled Ben along and quickly left the ward.
"You don't have to leave so quickly!" Avery was a little awkward. She was not alone. She had brought her three children along. They did not need to avoid her.
"Uh, why don't you leave first then Ben! You have dark bags under your eyes, you surely didn't sleep last night, right?" Chad found the room a little too crowded.
"Get the bodyguard to send you back. I'll stay here for a while before heading to the office to work." "Okay, then. I'll cat night." Ben left the room happily.
After Ben left, Layla and Robert immediately went over to the bed and looked at their father.

"Don't you all have school today?" Elliot's mind was blank. There were many things he wanted to say, but he did not know what to say to his children at that moment.
"Daddy, it's only about seven right now. We'll go to school later." Layla held her father's huge hand and looked at the needle inserted into the back of his hand. She lookedheartbroken. "Daddy, does your hand hurt? When can you get discharged? Qnce you're discharged, take us out to play! I haven't gone out with you in a long time." "Okay, once I'm discharged, I'll take you wherever you want to go." Elliot always gave in to his daughter's requests.
Avery, listening by the side, could not help but interrupt, "After you get discharged, you have to recuperate for at least half a year. Wait until your body is completely back to normal, then only talk about going out!" śwWhen Elliot heard this, he instantly furrowed his brows.
Avery noticed his reluctance. She was about La say something when Layla said, "Daddy, you have todisten to Mommy. Mommy is a doctor. What she said is surely right." "Your daughter understands, yet you don't," Avery said.
"Avery, I'll listen to you in the future." Elliot's expression was gentle, and he said patiently, "As long as you don't get angry with me."
