NovelAppToward the end, Layla was sobbing so hard that she could no longer speak, and lvy immediately wiped away her tears with a
tissue.
"Don't cry, Layla. You are both fine... you are both alive! You will soon be discharged, and Uncle Eric is going to get better," Ivy
said. "This kind of disaster won't happen again. Once Uncle Eric gets better, our parents won't be opposed to the idea of you
marrying him anymore."
"lvy, | don't think he's in that good a state..." Layla had been with Eric the entire time, and she knew how close to death Eric was.
"He gavehis jacket and was only wearing a really thin sweater. It was so cold, and he was wearing so little. He never intended
to survive and toldthat it would take stfor rescue toe, so | needed to survive until then..."
Ivy started sobbing as well. "Layla, | thought that Uncle Eric was a great person, but after what happened, | realize he is so much
more than that. He has a tender heart and a beautiful soul. Once he recovers, | have to thank him in person."
Layla sobbed, unable to say a word about the avalanche and Eric, as she buried all the pain and love she felt in her heart.

If Eric survived, she planned to confess everything to him, and if he died, she would tell him everything following her own death.
Shortly after, the nurse cover and inserted the cannula.
"Ms. Tate, you are extremely lucky. A lot of people died during the avalanche. You and Mr. Santos are the only ones to have
survived, so you have to get better and get discharged soon."
Hearing how she and Eric were the only survivors, Layla felt her spirits rise.
"Ms. Tate, you can start eating. If you don't feel sick after eating, try your best to eat as much as you can. Focus on taking food
that's plain and can be easily digested. You can take milk and fruit as well. You can only recover if you eat," the nurse said.
Layla nodded. "Thank you."
"Don't worry about it. Press on the bell if you feel sick," the nurse said and glanced at the intravenous fluid. "We will need to give
you another bag of fluid after this one is finished."
"Okay."
Once the nurse was outside, Ivy asked, "Layla, do you want to eat? The nurse said you can eat now, and | can buy anything you
would like to eat."
"I will have ssoup, then!" Layla wanted to recover as soon as possible as she felt extremely weak, having not eaten for a few
days.
"I'll get the bodyguard to buy sfor you!" lvy stood up in her excitement and walked out of the room.
To her bewilderment, she found Mike and Chad standing outside.
"Uncle Mike, Uncle Chad, when did you arrive?"
"Just now. How is your sister?" Mike asked. "We heard you two talking inside, so we didn't go in."
"She is better now and wants ssoup."

"I will go buy it now," Chad said.
"Thank you, Uncle Chad."
"Don't sweat it. As long as she recovers, | will do anything," said Chad and hurried toward the elevator.
"Uncle Mike, do you want to go inside and talk to Layla? She is feeling better now," Ivy proposed.
Mike nodded and went inside, leaving Ivy and Elliot outside the room.
"Dad, Layla is feeling better now. | told her that Uncle Eric isn't dead, and she is more at ease now," Ivy said, noticing that Elliot
remained tense.
Ivy felt slightly confused.
"Hayden just called. He said that Eric is in critical condition and that the doctors want to put him on ECMO," Elliot said darkly.
"ECMO?" Ivy repeated in confusion.
Elliot was unfamiliar with ECMO as well and immediately went online to do sresearch about it.
