Avery wasn’t there just to see Elliot, there was actually something wrong with him.
On the way back to the hospital, Avery could feel her heart aching.
When she went to look for the doctor in the afternoon, the doctor gave her a little black notebook that he found in the dustbin of Elliot's ward.
Avery knew that he would surely throw away the medicine too.
Avery could only crank up the music, and let all the pain flow through the music.
As Avery approached a red light, she slowed down to a stop.
A deep melodious voice rang throughout the car, "Going through the rain with you, you threw the umbrella away and hugged me in the rain. We loved each other despite our differences, because of you, I can be me, we are perfect for each other."
Avery wanted to go through life's every challenge with him, but now, he had another woman by his side.
Avery wanted to use music as an outlet to forget her pain, but instead, just one single line in the song was enough to make her break down, crying.
As the light changed from red to green, Avery floored the pedal and zoomed out of the intersection.
Before Avery could get far, her phone rang. It was a video call from Hayden.
Avery immediately stopped by the road, turned off the music, and wiped away the tears on her face.
After making sure that she had her own emotions under control, Avery finally picked up the call, the moment she saw her kid's face, she could feel a smile forming uncontrollably.
"Hayden, is Layla home?" asked Avery.
"Yup," replied Hayden.
