No matter how you looked at it, Elliot was in the wrong this time.
Even if there was something he could not talk about, what did Avery do wrong to deserve this?
Mike got into the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt, then remembered what Mrs. Cooper asked him to do.
He pulled out his phone and called Tammy.
Over in Bridgedale, Tammy immediately drove over to Avery's place after receiving Mike's call.
Avery had taken medication for her fever the night before, but her fever only subsided temporarily. In the morning, her fever came back.
She had planned on explaining the change in her relationship with Elliot to the children after she got up that morning.
However, she was worried that she would pass her fever to the children, so she spent the entire time resting in her room.
After Tammy entered the room, she shut the door behind her.
Avery heard her and opened her eyes.
"Are you not feeling well, Avery?" Tammy approached the bed and touched Avery's forehead. "You're a little warm. Did you take any medication?"
"I did. " Avery gazed at Tammy and asked weakly, "Who called you here?"
"Mike called me." Tammy sat by the bed and began to sob a few seconds later.
Avery was stunned.
"Avery, I thought I was having a rough time, but you've got it worse than I do...
Why are our lives like this? I'm so upset! I feel like crying every day but I'm afraid to cry in front of other people. I'm worried they would laugh at me. He's just a man. There are plenty of them in the world. I could just pick any one of them... But my heart aches every time I think of how the man I'll be with in the future won't be dun."
