His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2051

"I know, Mommy. One of my classmates invited me to her birthday party a few days ago but I said no. I've been in a bad mood because both you and Daddy are gone, so I don't feel like going out to play. I come home right after school every day so I'm safe. Don't worry about me," Layla said sweetly. She knew that Avery was exhausted from trying to find Elliot and she did not want to cause Avery any more worry.

"I know you are a good girl. Your dad and I have put you through so much when you shouldn't have to face something like this," Avery said sorrowfully. "Once I find your dad, I will try talking Hayden into moving back with us. After that, we are never going to part as a family ever again."

"Yay! I'm so happy that you said that, Mommy."

Avery started chuckling at the sight of the overjoyed expression on Layla's face.

After the call, she turned around and noticed that the doctor was standing behind her with his briefcase. She cleared her throat awkwardly and asked, "When did you arrive? I'm fine now... I can just take some anti -inflammatory drugs. I won't be needing an IV."

"Any bleeding from your wound today?" the doctor asked.

"No. I've stayed home to rest today." Avery got up to pour the doctor a glass of water.

"Miss. Tate, please sit down. I don't need water," the doctor said with a smile. "If there's no bleeding, you won't need the IV. But do remember to take your medicine."

"Yeah. I want to get better soon. Thank you for coming all the way here. You must be the one who mentioned the Marshall’s Award to Mike, right? Thank you for telling us such an important piece of information," Avery said.

"You are too kind, Miss Tate. I'm surprised by how bold Angela is to kidnap someone as famous and powerful as Mr. Foster. Who knows what's going on in her head? Does she think that she can do whatever she wants simply because she's older and used to be Professor Hough's junior?"
