Hayden was waiting outside the clinic. Because doctors were getting off work soon, there were fewer and fewer patients.
When Averie came out, there was no one around.
Hayden asked, “Mom, do you still need an examination? If you still have an examination, let’s go back first and come back in the afternoon.”
“I’m done.” Averie didn’t want him to run around with her to get tired.
“I’ll accompany you.” Hayden said stubbornly.
Averie asked, “Okay! Shall we go out to eat? Mom invites you to a big meal.”
Hayden: “It’s fine.”
Averie: “Then let’s eat outside!”
Averie took Hayden to a high-end restaurant in the city center.
“I don’t know how Layla and Robert are at your uncle Eric’s house.” Averie thought of the other two children, “Let’s make a video call for them.”
Hayden: “Okay.”
Hayden walked to Averie’s side and sat down on the sofa.
Hayden has grown very tall now, it would be a little strange if he and Averie sat next to each other to eat together. So he was sitting opposite Averie just now.
Averie dialed the video call to Eric, and the video call was quickly connected.
“Averie, have you eaten?” Eric asked.
His main task today was to take care of the children. His parents and babysitter were in charge of cooking.
“I’m eating outside with Hayden. How about you?” Averie turned the camera to Hayden’s side.
“We’re ready to eat too. Show you our lunch.” Eric pointed the camera at the table.
Inadvertently, the camera caught Layla playing with a boy with toys.
“Eric, who is that boy in your family?” Averie asked with a smile.
Eric said, “It’s my cousin. His parents didn’t have time to take care of him, so he was at my house during the New Year. He is three years older than Hayden.”
Averie asked, “No wonder he looks so tall! Where is Robert?”
Eric: “Robert drank milk and fell asleep. He was tired from playing in the morning.”
Averie: “Where’s your dog?”
“In the kitchen.” Eric said, “Elyette’s bodyguard is guarding Robert’s room. Don’t let my dog get close to Robert at all.”
“Hahaha!” Averie couldn’t help laughing, “He doesn’t like animals, and your dog is indeed a bit big.”
“Well, my dog follows me, has a gentler character. If you don’t bite, Layla can testify.” Eric defended his dog.
Averie: “I trust you.”
Eric sat down in the dining chair, “You and Hayden are outside, why don’t you come to my house. Why don’t you two come over in the afternoon? or you two come now, my mother made a big table od dishes. The dishes she made are very delicious.”
“We have already ordered. I’ll go to your house next time to eat rice.” Averie said, seeing the waiter approaching, and immediately said to Eric in the video call, “I’m serving the food here, let’s hang up first.”
Hayden returned to the opposite sofa and sat down.
“Mom, Layla played with that boy, and didn’t tell us about the video call. Uncle Eric’s voice was not small, she must have heard it.” Hayden was chilled because his sister didn’t respond.
Averie laughed dumbly: “Your sister may be playing with her new friend.”
“Why does Robert sleep all day. Yesterday he slept at Uncle Mike’s house and slept for a long time.” Hayden continued to complain.
Averie: “That’s what a baby is like. When he was younger, he slept more.”
“Mom, you only had brain surgery in the second half of last year.” Hayden suddenly remembered this incident, “Now that Elyette beat you so badly, are you going to have another surgery?”
Averie pondered for a few seconds and decided to explain frankly to his son: “Hayden, mother’s situation is more complicated. Before your father accidentally hurt me, something was wrong with me.”
Hayden: “Since you were wrong before, why didn’t you go to the doctor before? “
Averie said, “Mom is planning to go for a checkup after the New Year. Otherwise, if the doctor says that she is going to be hospitalized, wouldn’t she have to go to the hospital for New Year? Mom is fine when she goes to the hospital for New Year. Mom is afraid that you will not have a good New Year too. And the Spring Festival is only seven days away, and it will soon pass.”
Hayden lowered his head gloomily. ‘My mother said the word ‘hospital’, it seems that my mother’s illness is definitely not serious.’
After the waiter served the dishes, Averie immediately picked up his chopsticks and served his son.
Averie: “Hayden, your mother wants to discuss something with you.”
“Mom, you don’t need to discuss it with me.” Hayden took the chopsticks and said dully, “I will do whatever you want me to do.”
“Hayden, your mother will be fine. Mother’s illness can be cured, it just takes a little time.” Averie forced a smile, “If my problem is really serious, I will definitely not be able to eat and sleep like a normal person.”
In the afternoon.
The mother and son came to the hospital again.
Averie did a more detailed brain examination this time.
Tests revealed a hemorrhage in her brain, compressing the optic nerve.
The doctor said, “Miss Tate, you should be aware of your situation, it’s still quite serious but it’s not impossible for you to delay the hospitalization for a few days. I’m afraid that your condition will suddenly deteriorate in the past few days… What’s the matter with your head injury this time? You have had a craniotomy within half a year, and your head is very fragile, why don’t you protect it?”
Averie didn’t want this, everything was an accident.
“In your current situation, it is definitely not suitable for another craniotomy. You can only do puncture and drainage first to see how the situation is.” The doctor discussed the treatment plan with her, “First drain the blood in the brain, and then use the drugs that nourish the nerves, to see if the optic nerve can recover.”
Averie said, “Please prescribe some medicine for me first. If I am not feeling well, I will definitely receive treatment immediately.”
The doctor: “Yes. You pay attention to your diet these days, try to eat lightly.”
Averie: “Well.”
The doctor: “The tall, thin boy outside the door…”
“That’s my son.” Averie looked towards the door, only to see Hayden staring at her side.
“Your husband didn’t come with you?” The doctor prescribed medicine for her with a smile.
Averie: “He went to pay New Year’s greetings.”
“Oh…no wonder you don’t want to be hospitalized now. Your family must be very busy during the Spring Festival.” The doctor gave her the prescription and handed it to her, “If you have any questions, come to the hospital immediately.”
Averie: “Well. Thank you. Please help me keep it a secret.”
The doctor: “Don’t worry, even if your husband asks, I won’t tell you.”
At this time, Averie Received a call from Elyette.
“How is Hayden?” Elyette asked.
“Bring him to the hospital today.” Averie replied, “No big problem.”
Elyette: “Is he feeling better now? Does he still hurt?”
Averie: “It’s better. The doctor said to eat lightly.”
Elyette: “Well. I’m here. It’s almost dinner time, I’ll go back after dinner.”
Averie: “My uncle should be very happy, right?”
Elyette: “Well. He wants me to bring you and the children to play next time.”
Averie: “We’ll talk about it later.”
“Where are Layla and Robert?” Elyette continued to ask.
Averie got in the car and fastened her seat belt: “I made a video call for Eric at noon, and Layla met a new friend today. It’s Eric’s cousin. The boy was three years older than Hayden, and Layla played with him very much. I’m happy.”
Elyette said vigilantly: “I’m really worried that this b*stard has bad intentions for our Layla. I’ll go pick Layla home now.”
Hanging up the phone, Averie laughed dumbly: “your father is jealous. He was going to have dinner, but he heard that Layla and your uncle Eric’s cousin were having a good time, so he went to pick Layla immediately.”
