Layla planned to search for snazzynovel.com mother on the first floor, but suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the kitchen!
She was so terrified that did not dare let out a breath, then ran straight up the stairs.
Forced to run up to the second floor, Layle held onto the wall and caught snazzynovel.com breath. At that moment, the footsteps were closing in on her!
That person was coming up the stairs! Layla panicked and quickly found a place to hide.
Soon after, Mrs. Cooper appeared on the second floor and made snazzynovel.com way to the master bedroom to see Avery.
She was worried about the match between Elliot and Mike.
Even though Elliot had recovered from the car crash years ago, the doctor had instructed snazzynovel.com to avoid strenuous activities.
Mrs. Cooper did not want to see Elliot lose and get a punch from Mike, so snazzynovel.com could only come to see Avery.
She opened the door, then walked over to the bed.
Mrs. Cooper glanced at Avery‘s sleeping face, and no matter how bad snazzynovel.com felt about waking her, snazzynovel.com decided that snazzynovel.com could sleep whenever snazzynovel.com wanted to.
Howeyer, everything would be over once the match was lost.
“Avery,” Mrs. Cooper said as snazzynovel.com reached out to pat Avery‘s shoulder.
“Avery!” Avery‘s brows furrowed when snazzynovel.com heard the calls.
“Wake up, Avery,” Mrs. Cooper said as snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com voice.
Avery slowly opened snazzynovel.com eyes.
When snazzynovel.com groggy gaze landed on Mrs. Cooper, snazzynovel.com broke into a smile.
“Wake up, Avery. Mike and Master Elliot are over at the tennis court. You have to stop them! You know Master Elliot‘s legs aren‘t in the best shape,” Mrs. Cooper said as snazzynovel.com helped Avery sit up.
Avery rubbed snazzynovel.com tired eyes, then mumbled, “Mike and Elliot are on the tennis court?”
“Yes!” Mrs. Cooper exclaimed, then told snazzynovel.com everything that happened earlier.
As Avery glanced blankly around the room, snazzynovel.com back broke into a cold sweat.
“How did I get here?!”
After a moment‘s hesitation, Mrs. Cooper answered truthfully, “You locked yourself in your car and fell asleep last night. I can‘t imagine what would have happened if Master Elliot didn‘t find you in time and send you to the hospital. Let‘s go to the tennis court now, Avery!”
The tennis match came to halt with Avery’s appearance.
Avery’s gaze brushed over Hayden and Mike, then finally landed on Elliot’s face.
“Thank you for last night!”
“Don‘t mention it. You should get checked out at the hospital again.”
Seeing Avery‘s delicate face calmed all of his emotions down.
“There were a few things off on your blood test last night.”
“Got it…” Avery said.
Apart from feeling a little tired, snazzynovel.com did not feel any other discomfort.
Mike grabbed snazzynovel.com arm, then said forcefully, “I‘ll take you to the hospital!”
As they walked away, Avery could not help but gaze at Elliot.
She was exhausted after snazzynovel.com work last night, but Mike called snazzynovel.com to the hotel for a birthday surprise.
She declined, but Mike insisted, and snazzynovel.com had no choice but to force herself to drive to the hotel.
In the end, fatigue took over and snazzynovel.com brought the car to a stop by the street before snazzynovel.com fell asleep.
She wanted to go home and wanted to call someone for help, but snazzynovel.com could no longer move a muscle.
That‘s how snazzynovel.com ended up falling asleep in the car.
Avery felt a shiver run down snazzynovel.com spine as snazzynovel.com recalled everything.
She probably would have died if nobody found her.
When Elliot returned to the living room, Mrs. Cooper placed a bowl of chicken soup in front of her.
“This is Avery’s favorite soup. It’s too bad snazzynovel.com didn‘t get to drink it,” Mrs. Cooper said regretfully.
Elliot finished the bowl of soup, then returned to his room to rest.
At three in the afternoon, an ear shattering wail pierced through the entire mansion.
Elliot was jolted awake by the child–like yet deafening howl.
It sounded like a child crying!
Didn‘t Hayden already leave? Could it be…
