Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 

In the afternoon, Avery had bought two pots of daffodils at the flower market. Then she took them with her to her mother’s house. As it was not five o’clock yet, Laura should still be at work, but Avery found that she was busy in the kitchen.

“Mom, did you get off work early today?” Avery changed her slippers and put the two pots of flowers on the living room table.

Laura came out of the kitchen, looking a little embarrassed.

“Avery, I’m not working anymore,” Laura explained. “My friend’s daughter-in-law hired a more professional nanny.”

“Mom, don’t be sad,” murmured Avery as she hugged her mother.

Laura chuckled. “I’m fine… Why did you buy two pots of flowers?”

Avery glanced at the simple rented house and replied, “I happened to pass by the flower market, so I bought two pots.”

“Okay… Avery, don’t worry about my job. I can always look for another one.”

“Mom, you don’t need to. Just rest at home!” Avery said. Then, she took out her bank card from her bag and handed it to her mother, adding, “There’s money in the card. You can spend i

Laura pushed the card away and said with a serious expression, “Avery, if it’s one thing that I’ve learned after so many years, it’s that you can only rely on yourself. Even if I become a street cleaner tomorrow, it’ll be better than asking for money from you.”

Avery could not help laughing when she saw her mother’s righteous look. “Mom, there’s no need to be a street sweeper. I heard that you have to get up at four in the morning to sweep the street. It’s too cold now, so you should find an easy job!”

Laura also laughed. “If it pays more, what’s waking up at four in the morning? I’m going to cook. Just sit down and get some rest.”

Avery walked over to the sofa and sat down. Then, she took out her phone and saw Tammy’s message.

Tammy: (Avery, I really don’t understand… What the hell is going on with this guy Elliot? He hasn’t recovered from his illness, so why did he look for you? Is he trying to show how head over heels he is for you? If he truly loves you, he should just give you the money! What’s the point of putting on a show!]

Avery looked at Tammy’s playful message; she did not know how to respond to it.

After a while, Tammy sent another message: [Jun just went to see Elliot. The doctor

mentioned that Elliot’s immune system is messed up, and it’s best to go to the hospital for treatment. Is it serious?)

Avery replied: (We can only know the seriousness by getting an examination at the hospital.]
