<<Avery>>

After talking to M, I freshen myself up and go to the kitchen to eat something. I am feeling ravenous.

“Good thing you are awake,” Uncle Orin says while preparing scramble eggs with beans for me.

When he hands me the plate, I cannot help but ask him, “When Was the last time you took a leave.”

He laughs and says, “Well I went to attend my son’s wedding six months ago.’

”

He looks hesitant for a moment then says, “I probably have no right… but I hope you find someone who is right for you…”

He adds in a low voice. “That boy.. I never liked him.”

I know he is talking about Ethan.

Now that he is getting married to Della, saying these words out loud can get him fired in a heartbeat.

It doesn’t matter that he gave this family 20 years. He is still dispensable. I give him a tight smile

while leaning on the counter.

I stuff a mouthful of scramble eggs in my mouth to smother the uncomfortable silence.

After a while, I glance outside the kitchen door then ask him, “Are they having trouble? Last night he

said he wants to back off from the wedding with her.”

“It is true,” a voice says from behind me, and we both stiffen.

It’s Dad.

Fuck, I thought I was being discreet. I don’t want uncle Orin in trouble,

“Joy has gone out to see Della, so you guys can be loud,” He says and a twitch of a smile forms on his

face.

I stifle my laugh and Uncle Orin turns his head to avoid looking at dad. I am happy that dad is not completely spellbound by my stepmother anymore.

Chapter 49

“Oh, God!” Dad groans as he sits on a bar table near the tiny bar counter. He is really weak now. It feels bizarre to see him like this. We often see our parents as superheroes who can never grow old or weak. Seeing him like this makes me realize I am a big girl too. I mean, I always knew. But I still feel odd.

“Last night he told me… he wants to get back with you and I wanted to punch his face in front of all the guests.” Dad admits.

“Did you tell Joy?”

“Yes.. I told her we should break ties with them but…” He sighs.

“Our businesses are too intertwined with each other to back off this easily.” I state the obvious.

“And I think, right now, only a marriage alliance can keep everything safe and in place.”

I haven’t seen the accounts but probably Della relied too much on the Johnson family when dad was sick. Only that could explain this shift in business.

Anyway, I will be happy if Ethan and Della get married and make each other miserable for their

whole life long. I think to myself and stuff my mouth with a bite full of beans to stifle the grin that

formed on my face.

After my late lunch, I spent the rest of my day resting. I am not even allowed to watch tv, read books

or use too much phone. I have been told to minimize any distractions. Over stimulation will delay

my recovery. By evening, I get so bored I text Lena.

Me: ‘We are going shopping tomorrow afternoon. I will die if I stay in bed for one more day.‘

Lena: ‘But the doctor said two days!!!‘

Me: ‘Nothing will happen if I cut short my rest by 6 hours.‘

Lena: ‘I don’t know Avery…

Me: ‘Please Please pretty please!!!‘

Lena: ‘Lol Okay. Tomorrow afternoon it is.‘

I grin and walk downstairs, only to see an officer talking to my dad.

I frown. Why did nobody inform me?

“Oh Avery..” Dad startles as he sees me and closes the lid of the laptop in front of me.

“What happened? What were you watching?”

“Nothing important…” He says.

“Because they have to record 24 by 7. No one can afford that much data or storage space if the video is of high quality. It’s impractical,” He explains, and I nod.
