Avery almost forgot that she had been the one to call Tammy.
"Tammy, your husband has just given Elliot a call and said that there's going to be a cold wave coming. He told us not to head out. I've checked the weather just now, and what cold wave? Is the weather forecast that your husband saw different from ours?" "How is it not considered a cold wave? There's going to be a rapid drop of six degrees on Christmas! Do you have an idea of what a six-degree drop would do?" Tammy said exaggeratedly to express her fear of the six-degree change. "For people like your husband, who has just recovered from something so serious, these six degrees could very well be a fatal blow to him." After a pause, Avery said, "It shows that it's going to drop five degrees over here." "It's going to drop six degrees here! Regardless if it's five or six degrees, it's still a great drop in temperature!" Tammy spoke extremely quickly. "Therefore, before Christmas, both of you should not head outside! If you feel bored, I can cover to hang out with you anytime!" Avery said, "Tammy, both of you are very strange. Elliot is not that weak. You guys know that..." "I know he was not that weak in the past, but he is weak now! You should be more careful." To assure Avery of her insight, Tammy continued, "I have a relative who's in his seventies. It was because he went outside for a stroll the day before yesterday that he got sick! He is still in the hospital now!" Avery instantly understood their kind intentions. "Indeed, elderly people in their seventies should be mindful of keeping themselves warm. But Elliot is really not that weak..." "Look at you! Elliot has just gotten slightly better and you're already starting to be careless." Tammy sighed.

"Tammy, don't sigh anymore. I won't let him go out of town. At least, I won't let him do that before New Year's." Avery promised her best friend. "I went up the mountain to pray a few days ago. He wanted to calong with me, but I didn't allow it." "You're right. What if he faints on the mountain? If he is extremely bored, just take him for a stroll within the neighborhood, and that'll do." "Mm-hmm." After she hung up, Avery lifted her head and saw Elliot standing next to her.
Elliot's expression boded ill.
Tammy's voice was sharp, so Elliot, who was standing next to Avery the entire call, had heard everything Tammy had said. "What's up with Tammy? She's putting her nose in my business now." Elliot walked to the couch and sat down, sulking.
When he thought of how Avery had not only not refuted what Tammy had said about only taking him for a stroll in the neighborhood, but had even agreed with her, his mood grew worse. "She said her relative, who's more than seventy years old, had gotten sick because of the cold temperature before. Tammy and Jun are just concerned for your wellbeing. That's why they called to specifically tell you that," Avery cajoled him as she walked toward the couch. "I'm not an old man in his seventies." "Is it wrong for others to be concerned for you?" Avery sat down next to him. "I'll go on a stroll with you when the weather gets better. After the cold wave this Christmas..." "How can a five-degree temperature drop be considered a cold wave? The children have Christmas holidays.
We can make splans." Elliot already could not stand staying at home. "What about going to Bridgedale to see Hayden?" S After Avery carefully thought about it, she replied, "I'll ask Hayden to cback for Christmas. There's no need for you to fly over to see him." "That works, too. When the tcomes, we can go out to have sfun as a family." "Then you make the plans, and lethave a look after you're done." Avery did not want him to feel too constrained.

At ten in the morning, the bodyguards who were sent to the neighboring city brought Irene's hair sample back to Avonsville.
Elliot and Avery saw "Irene's" hair at the DNA paternity test center.
Avery gave a sample of her hair to do a test with Irene's hair sample.
After paying for the test, Avery held Elliot's hand and left.
"When the test results are out, someone will give us a call."
