The hallways in the hospital were secluded and quiet.
Avery made her way to the intensive care unit in the neonatal unit.
One of the nurses recognized her, then quickly approached her and said, "Robert's doing very well today, Miss Tate! If everything goes well, then you can just rest at home and wait until he can be discharged."
Avery nodded her head.
Since Robert was fine, there was no use for her to stick around.
As she left the hospital, her head began to spin.
She knew exactly why she was upset.
She could try to convince herself over and over again to not care about Elliot’s behavior. She could pretend to be cool and raise the children herself with no hiccups. However, why did her heart ache this much?
She knew very well that Hayden and Layla might have always said that they did not want a father, but they wanted one in their hearts.
Avery knew that she needed him, too.
However, there seemed to always be an invisible pair of claws between them.
Every time they wanted to get closer to each other, those claws would reach out and rip them apart!
Were they destined not to be able to be together?
Avery arrived home at nine that night.
Mike saw the coldness on her face and guessed, "Did you go see Elliot?"
"I came back from the hospital." She did not feel like talking about Elliot.
"I went to check things out at the hospital today. The doctor said that Robert's condition is stable now, and there shouldn't be any issues from now on." Mike helped Avery to the couch, then said." Chad told me that it’s better for you to leave Elliot alone for now. He was down for a while after his mother died. It's about the same situation right now."
Avery lifted her gaze and looked at Mike. " He went to the old mansion to kill Cole Foster today, because Cole was the one who killed Rosalie. In the end, Cole's mother took the bullet for him. She died today."
Mike was speechless as he watched her talk.
"Robert was the one who took Shea’s life," she continued
"How does that make sense?! Robert doesn’t know a thing right now, =a'
