Avery nodded. "I've met with one of these professors before.
"Do you have his contact number?"
Avery shook her head. "I met him when I was with Professor Hough. Professor Hough had his contact, but I don't."
"Let's go find this guy, then!" Mike said. "Which professor are you talking about?"
"Mike, I will contact him myself. I can do it." Avery put away the list and changed the subject. "I am done with my nap."
"You haven't slept for long and now you are done?" Mike glanced at her. "You do look better, though. The doctor will come over to have a look at you. You are going to rest some more tonight. Even if you want to meet with this professor, you will have to wait until tomorrow."
"Yeah. I will stay home tonight." Avery felt calmer after taking a nap. Regardless of the situation, they had found an important lead. Angela might be able to avoid them for now, but not for long. In a month, she would have to eventually show herself.
After dinner, Avery made a video call to Layla and Layla answered right away.
"Mommy, I had a dream last night about Daddy!" Layla answered the call excitedly. "Daddy said that he is coming home soon! He said that he is hiding on purpose so that we will know how important he is to us... If only that could come true."
"Layla, even if it's not entirely true, I think your dream is getting rather close to reality."
"Have you dreamt of Daddy?" Layla asked curiously.
"Of course! I dream of your dad every night.
Sometimes, he says he is lost but is trying his best to get back to us. Sometimes he tells me how much he misses us."
