When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2781
Chapter 2781--Eric had seen the intensive care unit, all kinds of cold instruments were placed in him, just looking at him, it felt cold to the bone.
If in the future, he suffered from an incurable disease, he didn't want Avery to take the trouble to save him.
Now that Elliot knew that the ending couldn't be changed, just accept it calmly.
Layla understood what Elliot meant, so she stopped.
Surgery was scheduled for a week later.
In Bridgedale, the temperature was dropping rapidly. It snowed either heavily or lightly every day. There were strong winds now and then when it wasn't snowing.
They always felt that this winter was extremely cold and difficult.
They didn't freeze, even if they remained in the heating room all day.
Nervousness and fear increased as the surgery date neared.
Avery wanted to make the atmosphere more lively for dinner because she noticed that no one was in the mood to eat.
"Have you prepared any gifts for Eric?" Avery asked.
Eric's parents also lived in Avery's house.
Originally, the two of them wanted to live in a hotel, but Layla let them live with her, so that they could take care of her.
The two elders did not shirk.
After all, Avery also lived here.
Avery went to the hospital every day and knew Eric's situation best.
After hearing what her mother said, Layla answered immediately: "I'll buy it after dinner. Mom, will he be able to wake up after the operation is successful?"
Avery nodded: "So I asked you if you have prepared a gift."
Layla: "Is it possible for Eric to lose his memory? After all, he used someone else's heart."
"How is it possible! Even if his memory were to lost, it wouldn't be as a result of the heart transplant procedure. Memory storage is a brain function. It makes sense that he wouldn't have lost his memory if there hadn't been a violent collision." Avery answered his daughter's doubts.
"That's good." Layla continued to ask, "How soon will he wake up after the operation?"
Avery: "If there are no accidents, he should wake up within 24 hours."
Layla: "Then we can talk to him soon?"
"He's relatively weak after the operation. Let's not quarrel with him." Avery reminded, "After dinner, Layla, take Eric's parents for a walk so they can relax. I have to go to the hospital later. Also, it's very cold outside today, so be sure to dress warmly if you go outside."
"Okay. Mom, take care of your body too." Layla looked at her mother's thin face, feeling very guilty.
If it wasn't for the trouble she caused, her mother wouldn't have stayed in Bridgedale for so long, let alone expending so much energy on Eric's affairs.
"Eat quickly! If you don't eat, the food will be cold." Avery said, looking at Eric's parents, "Don't worry about Eric."
The next day.
The surgery went on as scheduled.
Elliot and Layla stood outside the door of the operating room, while Eric's parents sat on the bench outside.
Time passed by every minute…
the operation started at 10 o'clock in the morning. Until 12 o'clock at noon, the door of the operating room was still closed.
Mike brought them lunch and persuaded them to eat.
"I don't have an appetite… wait until the operation is over." Layla looked at the monitor above the operating room, which read: In operation.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2782
Chapter 2782
"What about you?" Mike looked at Elliot, "You have a gastric ulcer. Your wife ought to feel bad for you if you don't eat when you eventually get sick."
When Mike said this, Layla immediately looked at them.
"Let's eat!" Layla was afraid that if she didn't eat, the others would follow suit.
She was still young, so it's acceptable to experience temporary hunger, but Eric's parents were also ageing and her father had a gastric ulcer.
After a brief lunch, everyone continued to wait outside the operating room.
"Take it easy, the operation will definitely be fine." Mike leaned against the window, seeing them all looking solemn and depressed, so he advised them, "This is Bridgedale's top private hospital, and the surgeon is from Bridgedale, the most skilled heart surgeon. Bridgedale's medical level is world-class. Is it possible that this operation will fail?"
Layla heard this and interrupted him: "Uncle Mike, my mother always said you have a crow's mouth."
Mike: "???"
Layla: "So don't talk about it. The more you talk about it, the more nervous I get."
Mike scratched his head in embarrassment: "Okay, I don't say it. But your mother told me that it was a long time ago, how do you still remember?"
Layla: "I don't have amnesia. I may not remember things before I was five years old, but I still have memories of things after I was a little older. You used to have a crow's mouth, and my mother always said you."
Mike : "I'm not a crow's mouth anymore."
Layla: "Then don't say it. If you have to talk, then say something else."
Mike put his arms around his chest and his chin in the other. After thinking for a while, he asked : "After his surgery, will you go back to Aryadelle or stay in Bridgedale?"
"I can't go back to Aryadelle. I'll stay here first after his surgery. I'll wait to see how he recovers before returning to Aryadelle." Layla replied without thinking.
"So you haven't been working for a while?" Mike asked.
"I can work from home. I know that I am the boss of the Tate Industries now, so you don't need to remind me." Layla said. She had been under a lot of pressure recently.
On the one hand, she was worried about Eric's surgery, and on the other hand, she had to find time to deal with the company's affairs.
Even if she was not employed by the company, the heads of all departments would report to her.
"Aren't you worried that you are too tired?" Mike looked distressed.
Layla: "I'm not tired. As long as the operation is successful, I won't be tired no matter how busy I am."
An hour later, the operating room's overhead lights suddenly stopped.
The surgery was over.
After a while, the door of the operating room opened slowly, and Eric was transferred to the intensive care unit for monitoring and treatment.
Layla only glanced at Eric hastily.
Eric was in a coma, breathing oxygen, had a pale face, closed eyes, and was lying on a hospital bed.
He had to remain in the intensive care unit without any visitors until he woke up.
Fortunately, heart transplant surgery usually woke up within 24 hours. This time, he won't be in intensive care for long.
When Elliot saw Avery coming out, he immediately stepped forward.
"The operation goes well." Avery's heart sank, "He ought to be able to wake up at the latest tomorrow, barring any mishaps."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Honey, you've worked hard. I'll take you to dinner." Elliot held Avery's hand, knowing that she must be very hungry now.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2783
Chapter 2783
Avery hadn't eaten much in the morning. Because of her personal habits, eating too much made her prone to feeling lightheaded and sleepy, whereas maintaining a healthy level of hunger would keep her mind sharp.
"Have you eaten?" Avery asked.
"We ate. It's past one o'clock in the afternoon now." Elliot replied, "Layla, take Eric's parents back to rest! When he wakes up, the hospital will notify you."
After all, Eric's parents wanted to stay in the hospital until he woke up. The doctor said that could happen in 24 hours.
"It's inconvenient to wait here. In addition to other family members, there are medical staffs who work in his care. Let's go home and wait!" Layla persuaded in a low voice, "You can take a nap when you go back.”
The two elders were now more able to listen to Layla’s words.
Like them, Layla sincerely hoped that Eric would wake up soon.
Furthermore, after Eric woke up, his health would definitely not be as good as before, and the two elders also hoped that there would be someone to take care of their son in the future.
……
Elliot took Avery to a restaurant near the hospital for dinner.
Elliot ate an hour ago, so he ate with Avery now.
"Can I go back to celebrate the New Year this year?" Elliot asked.
"Not sure. It depends on Eric's recovery. If he recovers well, he should be able to return to Aryadelle." Avery suppressed her hunger after eating two mouthfuls.
She picked up the water glass, took a sip of water, and looked at Elliot: "Want to go home?"
"Robert took Hazel to my company." Elliot said this, "I don't know what they two are thinking."
Avery couldn't help laughing: "Did the two of them go secretly?"
"Yeah. But they were discovered when they went. Basically everyone in my company knows Robert." Elliot also picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, "But they didn't tell me, and I didn't ask."
"Maybe they just passed by your company, so they went in to have a look. Hazel probably didn't dare to go, Robert must have brought her in." Avery analyzed.
"Hazel doesn't want to reveal her identity, she can't get in at all." Elliot guessed, "I guess Robert wants Hazel to work in my company after graduation. Then he will be free."
"If Hazel is willing, that's good!" Avery's attitude was that whether Robert would like to stay by their side was actually not that important, what was more important was that Hazel was willing to stay by their side, which was also very good.
Furthermore, Avery felt that Robert would not work hard like Hayden.
Robert shouldn't be too far from Sterling Group even if he didn't work for them in the future.
"My daughter is still young, let's talk about it after she graduates. I don't want to put too much pressure on her." Elliot said fondly.
Avery couldn't help laughing: "It's really early to talk about this now. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Health is the most important thing in life. We are healthy now, and God treats us well."
After eating outside, Elliot suggested going for a walk outside.
It was cold outside today, but they both wore thick coats.
"I didn't expect you to come." Avery held Elliot's hand, and the two walked slowly along the river.
It was quite windy by the river, but the two of them had just eaten, so it wasn't cold.
"Why didn't you think of it? We haven't been separated for such a long time." Elliot squeezed her hand a little bit, "I also told the children that I came here because I missed you."
"Aren't you ashamed?" Avery blushed, her heart was sweet.
"There's nothing to be ashamed about. Our four children are all grown-ups." Elliot teased, "I think they should see more about the benefits of marriage. Otherwise, one, two, and three will not find a partner, and they will all be celibate and no grandchildren will be able to hug us in the future."
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2784
Chapter 2784
Avery teased: "Husband, do you want to take care of grandchildren? It's not easy. I'll take you to the orphanage now. You can have children of any age you want, and you can take as many as you want."
A blush floated on Elliot's face: "I just want to bring my own."
Avery: "Then why don't we have another one?"
Elliot: "…"
"What can you do by yourself, why bother your child?" Avery laughed.
"Husband, I'll just say it casually, the two of us still don't have children." Elliot had long given up on the idea of having children.
"What you told me just now, don't tell the children. Those words are quite boring. You can't force our children to have babies just because you want to have grandchildren!" Avery gave him a glare.
"I wanted to tell you this in private, I'm sure you won't tell them." Elliot shrugged helplessly, "Eric has been identified by Layla; will he now need to take anti-rejection medication? Future childbirth must not occur for them. As for Hayden, do you think I dare to urge him to get married?"
"You dare to urge Robert." Avery raised her eyebrows, "You brought up Robert with your own hands, and he listens to you more."
"That depends on whether he can find a girlfriend or not. If he finds a girlfriend, and the girlfriend is reliable, he might push her. Now that he doesn’t even have a girlfriend, I can’t force him to find one.”
"If you are really busy, we can raise a cat or a dog." Avery thought of a compromise.
Elliot didn't even think about it, and directly refused: "I'm only patient with our children and our children's children, forget about the rest."
Avery: "Okay, don't raise it."
After walking along the river for a while, the two noticed people fishing.
Elliot was a little surprised and walked over to chat with the fisherman.
Elliot: "You can't fish in this river, right?"
The fisherman replied, "No one cares about this."
Elliot: "Why?"
The fisherman said again, "They don't care about me."
Elliot: "You have something to do with it."
"No." The fisherman pointed to his brain, "My brain is failing, and my family won't let me go far away. When my mind is fine, even if someone pays me to fish here, I don't want to! It's not easy to fish this day. I will release the fish if I catch it."
Elliot looked at the fisherman again.
This fisherman was about 50 years old, he didn't look too old, but his eyes were very vicissitudes.
Elliot really wanted to ask the fisherman what kind of illness he was suffering from, but Avery held him back.
"Let's go!" Avery said.
Elliot turned around and followed Avery.
"Why don't you let me chat with that person?" Elliot asked.
"Do you want to ask about his condition?" Avery explained, "When you are sick, you will know that this topic is cruel to patients."
"I think he seems more cheerful."
"Maybe because I am old Yes," Avery raised his mouth slightly, "he is more sensitive to birth, old age, illness and death."
Elliot: "Understood."
"You understand and you plan to ask others?" Avery raised her head and saw the hair on his temples.
Elliot's hair was gray once before, and Avery dyed him black with hair dye.
Later, when he returned to Aryadelle, his hair should have been cut again after it grew long.
"It seems to have turned black." Avery stroked his hair, "There are not as many gray hairs as before."
"After returning to Aryadelle, the doctor prescribed oral medicine." Elliot said truthfully, "If the hair dye cream didn't smell too bad, I might not take the medicine."
"Taking medicine can't make your white hair turn black. It's a gamble." Avery smiled, "Your hair turns gray due to stress, as long as the pressure disappears, it may turn black again, or it may not go back."
"Isn't this a bet?" Elliot said proudly.
"Let's go back! It's a bit cold." Avery grabbed his hand and led him back the way he came.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2785
Chapter 2785
"Go home or go to the hospital?" Elliot asked.
"Do you want to go home?" Avery asked back.
She was going to the hospital. She wanted to wait for Eric to wake up. Only when Eric woke up successfully could she give his parents an explanation.
"I'll accompany you to the hospital!" Elliot knew what Avery was thinking.
"You don't even need to ask me now, you know what I'm thinking." Avery couldn't help laughing.
"We've been together for so many years, if I still can't figure out what you're thinking, it means we don't have a tacit understanding." Elliot said this, and then changed the subject, "You should know me pretty well, right?"
"I know you quite well, but every time something happens, I quarrel with you to the death and the world is turned upside down. Then I stopped thinking about whether I understand you." Avery deliberately avoided answering his question, "Together Just be happy, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand."
Elliot: "If you don't understand, why have we been together for so many years? You say you understand me."
Avery: "Are you forcing me?"
Elliot : "Did you do it on purpose?"
Avery: "Hahaha! Why are you so naive?!"
After finishing speaking, Avery stretched out her hand and pinched his face.
A red mark suddenly appeared on Elliot's face, but it disappeared quickly.
"Who is naive?" Elliot helplessly grabbed her hand.
"We're both naive, okay? When Eric wakes up, I want to go back to Aryadelle." Avery said seriously, "Go back and see Robert and Hazel."
Elliot: "Don't you feel tired from flying?"
Avery: "You stay with me! I won't be tired if you stay with me."
"Your mouth is so sweet! Didn't you deliberately make me angry just now?" Elliot put his arms around her waist, and kissed her on the lips the moment she raised her head.
"You really don't know how to be ashamed anymore!" Avery glanced around.
There were still a lot of vehicles and pedestrians near the hospital.
Elliot: "What are you afraid of. Kissing on the street is not illegal."
Avery: "…"
7 o'clock in the evening.
When Avery finished eating her boxed lunch in the hospital and was about to take away the garbage, a nurse walked towards her quickly.
"Dr. Tate, Eric is awake!"
Avery shook her hands as she threw away the trash.
After throwing the rubbish into the trash can, she quickly walked towards the intensive care unit.
Seeing her anxious steps, Elliot immediately ran after her.
"Is Eric awake?"
Hearing Elliot's voice, Avery replied, "Yes! I'll go and see, you stay outside first. If his indicators are normal, he will be transferred from the intensive care unit. Wait for him to come out."
Elliot stopped after hearing her words.
Not long after, Layla brought Eric's parents to the hospital.
"Don't worry. There is basically no big problem when people wake up." Elliot comforted the two elders, "Avery said that she can only visit after he is transferred to the special care ward. She will come to inform us when he is transferred to the ward."
"Hmm! If I see him, I don't even know what to say." Mrs. Santos's eyes were filled with tears because of her emotional agitation.
"Anyway, just don't blame him." Mr. Santos said, "Although he is awake now, he is still very weak. Let's talk about it when he recovers a bit."
Mrs. Santos: "I know. I definitely won't say anything about him now."
After a while, Avery walked towards them.
"He has been transferred to the ward. I will take you to see him." Avery said, "He is conscious, but because his body is too weak, he may not be able to communicate with you."
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2786
Chapter 2786
"Mom, did he talk to you?" Layla jumped up uncontrollably.
Avery shook her head: "He is conscious. I asked him a few questions, and he nodded in response to me."
After hearing what her mother said, Layla burst into tears with excitement.
"Mom, can I take care of him in the ward?" Layla asked, wiping away her tears.
"The intensive care unit he lives in now has nurses to watch over him 24 hours a day. You don't need to be by his side." Avery held her daughter's hand, "Mom knows you want to be with him, but he is still relatively weak, because he has spent a lot of time in coma. Wait until he gets better and is transferred to the general ward, okay?"
Layla nodded and calmed herself down: "Okay."
After a while, they entered the special care ward.
When the nurse saw them coming in, she immediately backed out.
On the hospital bed, Eric heard footsteps and opened his eyes.
Just now Avery came in and told him that his parents were outside and wanted to see him very much. Avery asked him if he wanted to see them now, and he nodded.
Memories flashed through his mind as soon as Eric woke up from opening his eyes, reminding him of what had happened.
At first he thought he was dead, and everything he saw was just an illusion.
It wasn't until Avery spoke, saying that he had just had a heart transplant, that he realized that he was not dead.
Of course, not dying was a joyful feeling, but his body was too weak to move, even if he just raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
For the rest of his life, what he wanted to see most were his parents.
During the period of his accident, his parents must have been heartbroken.
He just didn't expect that Layla was there too.
Seeing Layla standing with his parents, he was stunned for a moment.
Just now Avery didn't tell him that Layla was there.
However, seeing Layla standing there properly, his mood quickly relaxed.
"Eric." Mrs. Santos walked to the hospital bed with tears in her eyes and a hoarse voice. She gently held his infusion hand with both hands, "You just finished the operation and your body is very weak, so you don't need to speak. Mom really wants you, your father misses you very much. Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, what should we do if you don't call mom and dad? Fortunately, you are fine…"
Mrs. Santos repeatedly said, 'Fortunately, you are fine', tears streaming down fall.
"Wife, don't cry." Mr. Santos wiped his wife's tears with a tissue, "Eric woke up, this is a great thing. If you cry like this, those who don't know think our son is dead."
Mrs. Santos: "You Crow's mouth! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Okay! There are so many people watching!" Mr. Santos sighed, and turned to look at his son on the hospital bed, "Eric, I don't want to blame you for what happened to you this time. As a man, you should be responsible. But as your father, I really can't accept that you had an accident. Fortunately, there was no danger! You were rescued and came back! Next, you have to listen to the doctor's words, you should take medicine on time, you should rest, and try to take care of your body, don't let me send a white-haired person to a black-haired person!"
After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Santos's tears flowed even more urgently.
Layla took a tissue and handed it to Mrs. Santos.
"…I'm sorry." Eric made a deep voice on the hospital bed.
After he spoke, everyone looked at him.
"Son, don't say I'm sorry. We didn't blame you, we won't blame you now, and we won't blame you in the future. Take care of yourself and try to leave the hospital early." Mrs. Santos looked at her son lovingly.
Eric nodded slowly.
After the two elders finished talking to Eric, they glanced at Layla.
After Layla entered the ward, she hadn't spoken to Eric yet.
The two elders understood that Layla probably wanted to talk to Eric alone. So the two elders left the ward.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2787
Chapter 2787
After the two of them went out, Avery pulled Elliot out and followed them.
Layla watched the door of the ward being closed, and now only she and Eric were left in the ward.
She took a deep breath and looked at Eric.
"Look at the coat I'm wearing today." Layla said, "This is the coat you bought that day. I'll return it to you when you leave the hospital."
Eric looked at the coat on her body. He was not much spirit. He was a little tired and powerless.
He should close his eyes if no one was in the ward at the time.
Digesting what his parents said just now had consumed all his energy.
Although he was very tired, he still looked at Layla with his eyes open.
"I've already told my parents and your parents. We'll get the certificate after you leave the hospital." Layla knew that he was weak now, so she didn't intend to keep pestering him for a chat.
After she finished saying these words, Eric was like being electrocuted, all seven souls and six souls came out of his body, and he was severely frightened.
"I was just informing you, not discussing with you." Layla watched him frown tightly, with a puzzled and shocked expression on her face, knowing that he could not accept it, but Layla had made up her mind and said, "You take good care of your illness. I'll come to see you when you get better."
After finishing speaking, Layla quickly turned around and left the ward.
After Layla left the ward, the nurse entered the ward quickly.
"Go back and rest!" Seeing Layla coming out, Avery immediately said to Eric's parents, "Sleep well tonight, and come to see him tomorrow."
Eric's parents nodded: "Avery, thank you for your hard work. And thank you very much for guarding Eric in the hospital during this time. Without you, we would not be so at ease."
"If it weren't for Eric, my daughter might not be able to stand here safely." Avery said, "From now on, we will be a family, so there is no need to be so polite."
The two elders didn't say anything.
No matter how they look at him, it is Eric's blessing that Eric could be with Layla.
Although approved by the Foster family, Eric almost paid the price with his life.
But now that everything was clear, they just hoped Eric could spend the rest of his life in peace and comfort.
A week later.
Eric's mental state had recovered a lot.
He could now speak, and his sleep patterns were gradually returning to normal.
His parents came to the ward to stay with him for a while every day.
Every time the two elders came out of the ward, Layla would go in.
But every time Layla went in, Eric would say he was tired and dismiss Layla.
"Layla is determined to marry you." Avery saw the clue, so she talked with Eric alone, "I have no objection with Elliot and our three children. If you two are together, We will bless you."
Avery thought that Eric was unwilling because of this reason.
Eric shook his head and expressed his thoughts: "Now my heart belongs to someone else, and I will have to take medicine to fight against rejection in the future, and no one can predict how long I will live in the future. The only thing that can be predicted What's more, I won't live long…I'm sure I can't marry her. If I really love her, I shouldn't agree to her."
"Eric, I believe you know her well. She has made a decision, and she will definitely do so." Avery said helplessly.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2788
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2788
Chapter 2788--"Layla is my daughter. When she was young, I had the obligation and responsibility to guide her and educate her, but she is no longer a child, and she no longer needs anyone to teach her what to do." Avery thought out, "She likes you and wants to be with you. No matter how long you can last in the rest of your life, she has already considered it clearly."
Avery said it clearly, and Eric clearly heard it.
After thinking about it for a while, Eric still couldn't accept it.
"Eric, I know you are doing it for Layla's sake. But if you reject her, she will be very sad." Avery was in a dilemma.
Avery didn't want to embarrass Eric, let alone see her daughter sad.
After both of them went through such a disaster, she hoped that the rest of their lives would be happy for both of them.
"Where's Elliot?" Eric knew that he couldn't make sense with Avery, so he wanted to talk to Elliot.
"You want to see him?" Avery asked.
Eric nodded.
"I'll call him." Avery took out her cell phone and called Elliot.
After making the phone call, Avery said to Eric, "He thinks the same as me. It's useless if you tell him. Unless you can make Layla give up by herself."
"If I can make Layla give up, I won’t tell you." Eric was not Layla’s opponent at all.
Layla seemed to be very obedient and sensible, but she was also very stubborn.
Usually everyone depended on her, so it might not be obvious.
"You haven't recovered yet, so you may be pessimistic." Avery was comforted, saying, "In another week, your health will be much better. After you are discharged from the hospital, rest for a few more months, and you will almost be able to return to your previous normal level."
"The doctor told me that I can no longer do strenuous exercise, nor can I do heavy physical activity." Eric had already asked the doctor about his situation, so he resolutely refused Layla.
He couldn't return to his previous state, so how could he bring Layla happiness?
Since he couldn't give it, he couldn't delay Layla.
"Yes, you really can't do strenuous exercise in the future, but you have quit the circle, and it's okay if you don't do strenuous exercise in the future!" Avery persuaded, "There is no problem with normal life. There is no problem with jogging, as long as it is not severe, it won't be a big problem."
Eric didn't answer after hearing what she said.
A while later, Elliot came over.
Seeing Elliot coming in, Avery immediately got up from her chair and said, "Eric wants to talk to you about Layla."
After speaking, Avery walked out.
Elliot went to the chair Avery was sitting in just now and sat down. There was still her warmth in the chair.
"Are you unwilling to marry Layla?" Elliot also came to the hospital every day, and Elliot could see Eric's attitude towards Layla.
Elliot should be happy when Eric rejected Layla, but he couldn't.
Because Eric's refusal would only make Layla sad.
Layla had been sad for a long time because she couldn't be with Eric.
In the long run, Elliot was worried about Layla's emotional problems.
Going through an avalanche was already a great psychological trauma, but now he has suffered emotional setbacks. Elliot felt sorry for his daughter just thinking about it.
He no longer regarded Eric as a man who came to snatch his daughter.
Instead, he regarded Eric as a…toy that could make his daughter happy.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2789
Chapter 2789--As Layla liked this toy, he had no choice but to give it to her.
From childhood to adulthood, Elliot always doted on his daughter like this.
"You should be very clear about my situation." After careful consideration, Eric said calmly, "You don't want Layla to experience widowhood after I'm with Layla. She will still be in pain at that time. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Tell her clearly now, let her find a healthy man, and she will come out slowly in the future." Eric told Elliot his thoughts.
After hearing this, Elliot felt that what Eric said made sense.
No matter how Layla looked at Eric, she would suffer.
Indeed, people have said since ancient times that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. From the perspective of others, everyone will make a long speech.
Elliot couldn't keep himself out of the matter.
He only knew that now, he didn't want to make his daughter sad.
"My wife should have made it very clear to you." Elliot looked straight into Eric's eyes and said, "We won't tell Layla to give up. If you want her to give up, then go talk to her yourself. She is already 25 years old, she decides her own life."
Eric did not expect Elliot to change his previous attitude.
"Don't look at me like that." Elliot frowned slightly and said, "If you have children, you'll understand that being a father is not easy."
Eric: "I may never have the chance to be a father in my life."
"You are an individual, not a puppet held by your parents. Your parents have been urging you to get married over the years. Have you ever heard what your parents said? If you can’t completely obey your parents yourself, why should let's force Layla? " After Elliot finished speaking, he got up from his chair and said, "Do you want to talk to Layla? I can call her here."
"No." Eric refused, saying, "I want to calm down."
Elliot strode out of the ward.
…..
Aryadelle.
When Hazel came home from university, the maid immediately brought dinner to the table.
Hazel came back a little later today, so Robert didn't wait for her.
"Little sister, do you want to hang out with me tonight?" Robert walked to the dining chair next to Hazel and sat down. "It's my classmate's birthday. She called me early, because she's not bad, so I didn't refuse at the time.
"Then you go!" Hazel smiled and said, "If you go to the class reunion, I won't go. I don't even know each other."
"Didn't you know each other when you went? It seems that they are mostly girls, not many boys." Robert hoped that Hazel could go with him.
It wasn't that he felt that Hazel needed to know his classmates, but that his father had confessed before he left that if Hazel was at home, then he had to stay at home with her. Hazel couldn't just play by herself.
If something were to happen to Hazel and Robert wasn't at home, that wouldn't be good.
So during the period after his father went to Bridgedale, Robert honestly stayed at home every night.
"Brother, why don't you go by yourself!? I don't want to go." Hazel flatly refused, saying, "Since you said that girl is very good, don't let her go."
"But I can't leave you alone at home." Seeing that Hazel really didn't want to go, Robert quickly decided not to go.
Robert took out his mobile phone, sent a message to his classmates, and made up an excuse to refuse the appointment.
"Brother, I'm already an adult. Besides, here at home, I can still lose it at home." Hazel didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Even if Dad asked you to take care of me, you don't have to guard me like this. If you go out to play, I will lose it. I won't tell my dad."
"Actually, I didn't think too much about going." Robert said in his heart, "It's too cold outside. Besides, there are so many girls chattering, it's too noisy. It's better to play with you at home."

Hazel knew that Robert stayed at home with her out of a sense of responsibility.
In the past, Robert often ate out at night, and then played outside until 9 o'clock before coming back.
"Dad, they should be back soon, right?" Hazel asked.
When Dad and the others came back, Robert won't have to look at Hazel every day.
"We have to wait for Uncle Eric to be discharged from the hospital." Robert covered his mouth with his hand when he said this, "I can't call him Uncle Eric anymore, I have to call him brother-in-law from now on. "
" Has the matter been settled yet?" The maid came over with a bowl of soup and put it in front of Hazel.
"It tastes better, try it."
Hazel smelled a fresh fragrance, immediately picked up the soup spoon, and took a sip: "Well, it's thicker than before."
"Take the lotus root thoroughly. The ribs are boiled and melted. The taste of the pork ribs is completely boiled." The servant smiled, "Your mom likes to drink this soup the most."
"People in Bridgedale don't eat lotus root. My mom can't drink such authentic lotus root soup over there." Hazel said regretfully, "But Uncle Eric is about to be discharged from the hospital, and Mom and the others are coming back soon."
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to change your name to brother-in-law?" the maid joked.
Robert laughed loudly: "He hasn't come back yet, I'll change my words when he comes back."
Thinking that everything was going in a good direction, Hazel's appetite whetted.
"Brother, I heard a funny thing from my classmate today." Hazel shared the funny story with Robert, "My classmate found a door-to-door hair-plucking service on Big Sweet Potato. This is the first time I've heard of this kind of service. Do you think it's funny?"
Robert was also shocked by this service: "How do they charge for it?"
"It's charged per head." Hazel ate with gusto, and said with relish, "If you have more gray hairs, you will be charged more, if you have less gray hairs, you will be charged less, or you can charge according to the number of gray hairs... .There are also people who count gray hairs. I really admire people who can come up with this profitable business, and I admire people who spend money to buy this service."
"Hahaha! It can only be said that the world is full of wonders. There are many poor people. There are also many rich people. Many rich people do not have jobs. They are very idle. If they are idle, their behavior may become strange.” Robert analyzed with Hazel, “As long as it is a service that rich people need, so there are people who need money to provide services."
"Well... I think there must be people who are curious about pulling out gray hair at home."
"Would you like to try it?" Robert now had the psychology of seeking novelty.
Hazel couldn't help laughing: "I don't have gray hair! Brother, do you have any?"
"I probably don't have any. Even if I have, just a few! This kind of fee is not easy to charge... Maybe it will basic service fee?" Robert finished his soup and wiped his mouth with a paper towel, "There are also those who chat with others."
Hazel answered: "Chat with others?"
Robert: "Yes! Have you heard of chatting online...there should be door-to-door chatting."
Hazel's cheeks flushed suddenly.
"Little sister, why don't we call for a chat?" Robert had never ordered any door-to-door service, so he became very interested in door-to-door service.
Parents weren't home right now, so he could call in the door service to try it out and saw what he felt like.
Hazel was so scared that she almost choked: "Brother, are you talking about serious company chat?"
Robert understood that Hazel wanted to be crooked, and immediately explained: "Of course I mean serious company chat. I brushed it on the big sweet potato before. Yes. If we find someone who is good to chat with, maybe he can help us with our homework!"
Hazel: "Oh! That person should be serious...but your homework is so good, you don't need others to help you with your homework!"
Robert was very playful: "Why don't I call one to try? We can chat while fighting landlords
