Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 405

 The incident that day was a painful lesson! Avery could not let her son directly go up against Elliot anymore.

“But you wouldn’t get injured for no reason. It must be him…” Hayden deduced, furrowing his brows.

“I wanted to see you and Layla badly last night, so I ran out alone. But I met with a wolf on the way,” Avery explained. “Go tell Uncle Mike and Layla that I’m fine. I don’t want them to worry about me, okay?”

Hayden nodded, not fully convinced.

“Mommy, are you really not coming back with me? The police can take us home.”

“My leg hurts badly. I’ll return home once it gets better.”

“Oh, Mommy, don’t run around. If the outside is so dangerous, just stay indoors. We will find a way to rescue you.”

Avery nodded in relief. “Hayden, I’m very happy that you came to look for me, but, if there are any more situations like this in the future, don’t come. You’re still so small. If anything were to happen to you, I’d be very sad!”

Hayden said stubbornly, “If something were to happen to you, what would happen to me and Layla? If there is a next time, I’ll still come looking for you.”.

Avery’s eyes grew hot and wet. “There won’t be the next time.”

“Mommy, please stay further away from him in the future… He is sick.”

Avery thought that Hayden only said that because Elliot had almost strangled him to death.

“He won’t harm me. You and Layla need to stay away from him. Hayden, I told you and Layla that last year, didn’t I? Don’t go too close to him. Were you not listening to me?”

Hayden lowered his head.

“You and Layla are my most precious darlings. My biggest wish in life is to see you and your sister grow up healthy,” Avery murmured. “So you have to remember what I told you.”
