She wanted to head to the airport right away and get on the first flight leaving for Ylore, but she stopped herself from acting on such thoughts. She had to talk to her daughter first, or Layla would be devastated. The past Avery would have dropped everything and run to Ylore, but she could not do that anymore. All the things she had gone through these past few months had made her realize that she could not act on feelings. She could not neglect others and the same applied to her children and Elliot. The next morning, Avery got up early and went to wake Layla up. "Layla, your dad is hurt so | need to see him, " she said while sitting by the bed. "This time, I'm going to bring him back." Layla blinked dazedly, unable to react. "Oh... "My plane leaves later, so | will be leaving for the airport once | see you to school,” said Avery. "Uncle Mike will stay here once | leave. You can tell him or Uncle Eric if anything happens—" "What?! Mommy, you are leaving?" said Layla, completely awake. "Yes. Your dad is hurt." "Why is he hurt? Is it bad?" Layla asked worriedly.

Once | am there, | will bring your dad back and we will never step foot in that place ever again.” "Mm-hm! Remember to video call me every day, though!" "Of course. | miss you and your brother." Once she saw Layla off, Avery returned to her room to pack. Mrs. Cooper carried Robert into the room. "Avery, isn't it dangerous for you to go there?" Mrs. Cooper was concerned. "No. Gary is dead now," she said. "He only has one daughter, ;e$:XKT; she is Elliot's wife, Ruby Gould. I've seen her, and she is just a naive little girl. I'm not afraid of her." "Still, be prepared for the worst." "With Gary's death, countless people would be after the Goulds" wealth. Ruby has enemies everywhere right now, and if she tries to attack me, | can get Nick to help me, " Avery said thoughtfully. "Okay. Remember to call home once you arrive." "Sure." Avery finished packing and got ready to head out. Robert watched his mother and seemed to have realized something. "Mommy! Boo-hoo!" he screamed.
