Chapter 752

Avery did not have the courage nor the heart to tell Elliot about this good news.

After all, this happiness was built on top of the pain of losing Shea. If he felt a strong fatherly love
toward Robert before, she was afraid that the love he felt might have changed by now.

Avery did not dare to expect Elliot to continue to love this child. She just hoped that he did not hate him.

She dragged her exhausted body home and was surprised to see Mike had returned.

"If Robert alright now?" Mike approached Avery, pulled her into his arms, then said softly," Chad told
me about Shea. Everyone’s upset about this, but what’s done is done."

Avery saw Hayden and Layla standing in the living room, so she maintained the calmness on her face.

"Robert’s fine for no. The doctor asked me to get some rest." Her tone was no different from usual.
Mike released her.

Avery walked over to the children and asked, "Have you guys had breakfast? Is it time for school?"

"It’s the weekend, Mommy!" Layla said. "Uncle Eric’s coming over today!"

"Did he say he would?" Avery was not aware of this.

"He told Hayden on the phone." Layla’s eyes lit up with joy. "I really miss Uncle Eric. I’ll get to spend
every day with him again during winter break."

Avery did not say anything.

This entire thing with Robert and Shea drastically changed her mindset.



Even if Layla did not want to go to school and wanted to join the entertainment world, she would
support her as long as her daughter was happy.

Life was too brittle, and one’s end could come at any time.

Once Avery went to her room to rest, Hayden walked over to Mike and asked, "What were you
whispering to Mommy about just now? What happened to Shea?"

Mike pursed his lips as a pained expression appeared on his face.

"What happened to Shea?" Layla also joined them.

Faced with the children’s pestering, Mike scratched his head and said, "Shea… She might have
passed away."

Hayden’s expression was suddenly stunned and revealed a type of anxiety that fit his age.

"What does that mean, Hayden?" Layla asked seriously as she nudged Hayden’s arm.

She knew what the word "death" meant, but she was unfamiliar with the term "passed away".

"Shea’s dead. We won’t be able to see her ever again." Mike used the most easily understood way to
explain things to Layla.

The moment Layla heard the news, streams of tears rolled down her face.

"How is Shea dead?" Layla pouted her lips cried miserably.

"I don’t want Shea to die … She’s our friend and she’s our aunt!"



Mike’s eyes reddened as he said, "She sacrificed herself to save your little brother. She gave too much
of her blood to him."The moment he heard Mike’s words, all of Hayden’s defenses crumbled.He turned
his back toward them and wiped his tears away.

Avery heard the sound of Layla sobbing from her room.

She had a splitting headache. In that instant, she wished that the person that the heavens took away
was not Shea, but her.

Over at the old mansion, Henry was dressed in a black suit and was getting ready to go see Elliot and
discuss Shea’s funeral.

He heard about what happened to Shea the night before, but it was too late at night to contact Elliot.

Shea was Henry’s sister, too, but she had never called him "Big Brother". Besides, the number of times
that they met was scant.He was not greatly affected by Shea’s death.

However, he had to show some sadness considering how much Elliot cared for their sister. Just as
Henry was about the leave, a black Rolls-Royce was speeding in the mansion’s direction!
