Chapter 759

Avery wanted to return to work, too, but her body still had not recovered.

Even if she wanted to go back to the office, Mike would not allow it.

There was another thunderstorm today.

This winter was much colder than the years before. Mike reminded her not to leave the house before
he went to the office earlier.

"You can invite your friends over to the house if you’re bored, Avery," he said.

Avery simply grunted in response.

Once Mike left, she suddenly thought about how she did not really have many friends. Tammy’s
abduction left a permanent scar on her, and Wesley was nowhere to be found. She had no friends to
invite over at all.

Mike returned an hour later with a bag of yarn.

"Knit a sweater if you’re bored, Avery! You could make sweaters for the kids, or even for me." Mike
figured that knitting was not a tiring activity, and it took more time. "You could even knit one for Chad’s
dog."

Avery put down the book she was reading, then looked at him and asked, "Do I look that bored to
you?"

"All you do is read. Aren’t your eyes tired?"

"I can rest when I’m tired." Avery took a look at the yarn Mike bought.



"This amount of yarn would only be enough for a dog sweater."

"Don’t you think Robert’s about the size of a puppy now, anyway?" Mike teased.

"He won’t be that small once he leaves the hospital," Avery said.

"I haven’t knitted in a while. I might not remember how to do it."

"Express yourself freely. You don’t need to be that serious about it." Mike glanced at the time, then
said, "I’m going to the office. Things are busier at the end of the year."

"Watch the roads. It’s slippery out there," Avery reminded.

"It’s only the snow in our front yard that’s thicker. They’ve got snow shovellers out on the roads to clear
it." As Mike was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, the doctor said that Robert can come home in two weeks."

Avery knew that.

The doctor had already called her to tell her about it.

He probably also called Elliot to inform him, but she did not know if he would go to the hospital when
the time came.

Two weeks later, Avery had finished knitting a scarf a tank top for Chad’s dog.

Mike was very impressed with her work.

"You’re so talented, Avery. I bet Chad’s dog would love this," he praised.

"You won’t have time to knit when Robert comes home."



"Probably not," Avery answered absentmindedly.

"Are you thinking about whether or not Elliot would go to pick up Robert?" Mike guessed.

"He probably won’t."

"You guessed right." Mike did not have the heart to tell her the night before.

"Chad told me yesterday that Elliot’s away on a business trip. He won’t be back for a couple of days."

Avery’s expression was calm as she said, "He did it on purpose. He doesn’t want to face Robert.

"If that’s the case, then forget about him." Mike already had a plan.

"Let’s have a party to celebrate when Robert comes home."

"I’d rather not have a party. I don’t want to show off the joy that came from someone else’s pain."

Mike shrugged, then said, "Alright! Then, it should be fine if we celebrate at home by ourselves, right?"

Avery had no reason to refuse.

They arrived at the hospital half an hour later.The nurse had already carried Robert out of the intensive
care unit.

He was much bigger than he was when he first entered the incubator, but he was still smaller than an
average baby.

Even so, all of his vitals were the same as a regular baby. As Avery took Robert from the nurse’s arms,
her heart began to race uncontrollably!
