Chapter 752 Avery did not have the courage nor the heart to tell Elliot about this good news.
After all, this happiness was built on top of the pain of losing Shea. If he felt a strong fatherly love toward Robert
before, she was afraid that the love he felt might have changed by now.
Avery did not dare to expect Elliot to continue to love this child. She just hoped that he did not hate him.
She dragged her exhausted body home and was surprised to see Mike had returned.
“If Robert alright now?” Mike approached Avery, pulled her into his arms, then said softly,” Chad told me about
Shea. Everyone’s upset about this, but what’s done is done.”
Avery saw Hayden and Layla standing in the living room, so she maintained the calmness on her face.
“Robert’s fine for no. The doctor asked me to get some rest.” Her tone was no different from usual.
Mike released her.
Avery walked over to the children and asked, “Have you guys had breakfast? Is it time for school?”

“Did he say he would?” Avery was not aware of this.
“He told Hayden on the phone.” Layla’s eyes lit up with joy. “I really miss Uncle Eric. I’ll get to spend every day with
him again during winter break.”
Avery did not say anything.
This entire thing with Robert and Shea drastically changed her mindset.

long as her daughter was happy.
Life was too brittle, and one’s end could come at any time.
Once Avery went to her room to rest, Hayden walked over to Mike and asked, “What were you whispering to
Mommy about just now? What happened to Shea?”
Mike pursed his lips as a pained expression appeared on his face.
“What happened to Shea?” Layla also joined them.
Faced with the children’s pestering, Mike scratched his head and said, “Shea… She might have passed away.”
Hayden’s expression was suddenly stunned and revealed a type of anxiety that fit his age.
“What does that mean, Hayden?” Layla asked seriously as she nudged Hayden’s arm.
She knew what the word “death” meant, but she was unfamiliar with the term “passed away”.
“Shea’s dead. We won’t be able to see her ever again.” Mike used the most easily understood way to explain things
to Layla.
The moment Layla heard the news, streams of tears rolled down her face.
“How is Shea dead?” Layla pouted her lips GJXJAT=h cried miserably. “I don’t want Shea to die … She’s our friend
and she’s our aunt!”
Mike’s eyes reddened as he said, “She sacrificed herself to save your little brother. She gave too much of her blood
to him.”
The moment he heard Mike’s words, all of Hayden’s defenses crumbled.
He turned his back toward them and wiped his tears away.
