"You and Ivy are going back on the private jet, and I'm staying here with Layla. Remember to keep an eye on Ivy once you get home. I don't know when I can come back," Elliot said.
Ivy was standing next to them as Elliot spoke to Robert.
"I will take good care of Ivy," Robert promised.
"Go to sleep and head back tomorrow!" Considering how long they had spent on the plane, Elliot said, "Call me if anything happens. Do not make the call without consulting me."
"I know, Dad."
Elliot then turned to Ivy and said, "Ivy, don't worry about a thing and focus on your studies. Once things start to look up over here, we will come home."
Ivy nodded and said, "Did the doctor tell us to hire a psychologist for Layla?"
"We will talk to Layla about this. Your mom will talk to her."
Ivy nodded. "Dad, you have gray hair." Ivy was standing close to Elliot and could see everything.
Elliot knew it but did not mind.
Avery walked over and ran her fingers through his hair. "I will buy hair dye tomorrow and dye it black. You look more energized with black hair."
Elliot did not mind his gray hair, nor was he opposed to the idea of dyeing it black.
"All our hair will turn gray sooner or later."
"But now is not the time for that yet." Avery's heart ached when she saw his gray hair. "Your hair is turning gray because of stress, so it might turn black again once you feel better."
Elliot nodded.
"Should I go get the hair dye?" Robert blushed as he listened to the conversation between his parents. "I'm sure they sell it at the drugstore."
"Go ahead! It's cold out there so drive there," Avery said.
Avery's mansion was a ten-minute walk away from the closest drug store, but she did not want her son to catch a cold, so she found her car keys and handed them to Robert.
Once Robert was gone, Ivy asked, "Mom, you can even dye hair? You know everything!"
Avery froze, and Elliot was stunned as well. They had never seen Avery dye anyone's hair.
"There are instructions on the box so I can just follow the steps," Avery said stubbornly.
