“Mom! I can find someone from the housekeeping company to clean up! You don’t need to do this kind of rough work.” Layla forcefully invited Avery to sit down on the sofa, “Mom, Have you had dinner? If not, let’s have it together!”
“I have eaten with your father.” Avery couldn’t sit still because she found that her daughter’s face seemed to have lost weight, “Layla, have you lost weight? Why have you become so haggard after two days of absence?”
Elliot also looked at Layla after hearing this.
It’s okay if he didn’t watch it, but he couldn’t sit still after watching it.
“Baby, do you not eat well every day? Do you not sleep well either?”
Layla panicked all of a sudden.
The worried and distressed eyes of Avery and Elliot made Layla feel particularly guilty.
She felt that she shouldn’t hide it from her parents, but she also thought that if she told the truth to her parents, they would definitely feel even more heartbroken.
“I… I’m just on my period… I don’t have a good appetite.” After hesitating for a few seconds, Layla decided to make the big problem smaller, after all, her gastroenteritis was almost cured.
“Then you should go home for the next few days! Why do you have to cook for yourself when you’re so haggard! No matter how bad it is, you can order takeaway!” Avery said, taking off the apron from her daughter.
Seeing her daughter wearing an apron, Avery couldn’t stand it.
Layla had never been in the kitchen to cook since she was a child. Now that she was so weak, she still had to cook and eat by herself. It was really hard!
“Mom, I’m just on my period and I’m not sick! I look weak, but I’m actually fine!” Layla stood up from the sofa to prove that she was fine, “Look, I’m really fine!”
“You just don’t want to go home, right?” Avery saw Layla trying to be brave, although she felt distressed, she would not force her.
“Hey, I just want to stay in bed these two days and don’t want to move.” Layla curled her lips, “I’ll be fine in two days. When my appetite improves, I’ll gain weight back soon.”
“Okay. You can eat first!” Avery took out the food she brought from the bag, and the aroma immediately hit her nostrils.
