She wanted to cry so much, but she resisted it.
“We made an agreement that if we can escape from the basement, we will never quarrel again. We will live a good life and raise our children together. No matter what misunderstandings we encounter in the future, we will unconditionally trust each other and we agreed. Did you forget?”
Elyette’s eyes gradually filled with emotion. He looked at the tears in her eyes, and the memory in his mind seemed to be awakened.
“Elyette, I’m here to take you home. Would you like to come with me? The children miss you very much, and Layla and Robert have been waiting for you to go back. Hayden doesn’t hate you so much anymore. This time to find you, Hayden also helped a lot.” Averie begged in a low voice, “Can you say something? Elyette, I beg you…you talk to me…I haven’t seen you for a long time. Hearing your voice, I really miss you.”
Speaking of emotion, her tears fell on his fingers.
Elyette was scalded by her hot tears. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but his body did not move.
“Averie, I’m already dead.” His Adam’s apple moved up and down, making a hoarse voice, “I’m just a useless body now.”
“You nonsense!” Averie interrupted him crying, “Your voice is still the same as before, and your breath has not changed. You are a living person! I said you are, you are! Follow me, we will not work in the future, I will accompany you every day, we’ll stay at home together and no one can break us up!”
Averie took his arm, trying to pull him out of bed. But his body didn’t move.
As Margaret said, Elyette didn’t seem willing to go with Averie.
“Elyette, I brought a lot of bodyguards here today. If you don’t get out of bed and follow me, I will let someone in and tie you back!” Averie threatened Elyette with red eyes.
Elyette raised his eyes and looked at Averie.
Averie’s eyes told him that she was here for real. She does what she says!
A few seconds later, she lifted the thin quilt on his body, lifted his long legs, and got out of bed.
Averie held his big palm tightly and took him out of the room.

“Your Daddy is still sleeping. It’s only six-something in the morning right here,” Averie softly replied to Layla before greeting the others. “Wesley, Shea, Kiara, and Robert. I miss all of you! I want to go back to see you all.”
“Averie, are you all alright?” Wesley asked, concerned.
“Hmm. He has returned to me for an entire day,” Averie’s gaze was gentle. Her tone was light too. “Don’t worry about him. Especially Shea…”
“Mommy, I was also very worried for Daddy!” Layla grumbled a little.
“I know you were worried for Daddy, but your Aunt Shea has lost a lot of weight because of your daddy’s incident. I feel terrible for her,” Averie explained to Layla, “Of course, no matter what happened to your daddy, I hope that this won’t affect your learning and your life.”
“It doesn’t affect me. I have been studying well every day. Mommy, go wake Daddy up! All of us want to see him. If you don’t want to wake him up, let us see him. I’m sure that’s okay, right?” Layla tried to bargain with Averie.
Averie naturally was not willing to wake Elyette up, so she agreed to let them see Elyette sleeping.
She took her phone and gently walked out of the washroom.
On the huge bed, Elyette’s eyes were closed. He was sleeping soundly. The curtains were shut, so it was quite dim inside.
It might be even blurrier for the people seeing through the video. Averie went to the window to draw the curtains a little so that they could see clearer Elyette’s face.
The light outside the window was not too bright at that moment, so Averie drew the curtains fully.
“Mommy, where is Daddy? Didn’t you say that you were going to let us see Daddy?” Layla said worryingly when she did not see Elyette.
Layla’s voice spread throughout the entire room.
Averie looked at Elyette on the bed in shock. He was a perceptive and alert person, at least he used to be.
If it were the past, he would surely be woken up. However, at that moment, his eyes were still closed as if that was not noisy for him.
Averie fumbled and aimed the camera at the bed. On the other end of the video call, they finally got to see Elyette.
“That is Daddy! That really is Daddy!” Layla recognized Elyette. She yelled out in surprise and delight.
Layla’s excited emotions affected Robert, so Robert yelled even louder at the screen. “Daddy! Daddy! Wake up quickly! Come back quickly and play with me!”
Averie had never thought that her children would lose control of their emotions. She took the phone and ran to the washroom, closing the door behind her.
“Layla, Robert, your daddy was still sleeping. Why did you yell out so loudly? You will wake him up.”
Robert pouted and muttered, “Layla yelled, so I yelled.”
Layla said proudly, “Daddy won’t be angry with me! He would surely want to see me and Robert. Mommy, he has been back to you for an entire day. When he was awake, why didn’t you call us?”
As for Elyette’s true situation, Averie was planning to hide it from the children. She could not accept it, and she didn’t think that the children would be able to either.
She wanted to deal with Elyette’s situation first to see if she could change it.
“He was a little injured. He needs time to recover. Give him some time. Give me some time too.” Averie could not bear to tell them the entire truth.
“Oh. I knew it. If Daddy was healthy, he would surely come home immediately to see Robert and me.” Although Layla was a little sad, she was still happy generally. “Mommy, the next time Daddy wakes up, we have another video call, okay?”
“Okay,” Averie agreed.
After the call, Averie came out of the washroom. She looked at the bed. Elyette’s eyes were still shut.
“Mom, why do you have to buy a house? Is it not good to live in this old house? I want to live here.” Emmy Confused.
Margaret laughed: “I want you to live in a better house. It’s very late today, you go to bed!”
Emmy: “Mom, do you want to go back to Jones’s house? If you go back to Jones’s house, then I’ll take you there.”
Margaret shook her head, “It’s too late, I don’t want to move. I’ll just call Travis and say it later.”
…
On the way back, Averie and Elyette sat in the back seat of the car, Mike drove, and Ali sat in the passenger seat.
“I didn’t expect Margaret to be married for the second time.” Ali said, breaking the dull atmosphere in the carriage.
“Margaret is in her sixties. Who knows whether it will be a second or third marriage… Fourth marriage is also possible.” Mike answered.
Averie replied, “Margaret should be the first marriage. I heard that she never got married because of my mentor. And her daughter is so old, if she was married, no one would say she was never married. Her daughter doesn’t look like Margaret. It should be Margaret’s adopted child.”
“It makes sense for you to say so. That girl and Margaret have nothing in common.” Mike said, looking from the rearview mirror and glanced at Elyette, “Elyette, what are you thinking about now? I’m very curious… You have been resurrected for so long, why didn’t you contact us? If we don’t find you, you will to live forever in that blue house?”
Averie has been holding Elyette’s hand tightly. After Mike’s voice settled, she felt his hand move slightly.
“Mike, go to the hospital.” Averie was worried about Elyette’s physical condition.
She must go to the hospital now and give him a brain examination to see if it is really what Margaret said.
“Oh, yes!” Mike responded immediately.
Elyette quickly took his hand out of Averie’s hand. The expression on his face became tense and apprehensive.
Averie watched the expression change on his face.
“Elyette, don’t be afraid. No matter what your current situation is, I will accompany you.” Averie reassured her softly.
“Don’t go to the hospital.” Elyette frowned, tears welling up in his eyelashes, and said with difficulty, “I won’t go.”
“Then I won’t go.” Averie tried to understand the fear in his heart, and said distressedly, “Elyette, we have to go home first. When you are willing to go to the hospital in the future, we will go to the hospital.”
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived home.
Averie took Elyette out of the car.
In the living room, Hayden came out. When he saw Elyette, a subtle feeling made him feel uncomfortable.
The once mighty, proud and conceited man seems to have left. Now Elyette has become a completely different person.
When Hayden looked at Elyette, Elyette also saw Hayden.
The eyes of the father and son met in the cold night, there was no edge and no fire.
Averie was worried that Hayden would make Elyette look bad or say something ugly, so she let go of Elyette’s hand and strode towards Hayden.
She pulled Hayden to the side and whispered, “Hayden, your father’s condition is very bad. He doesn’t even want to come back with me. I forced him to come back. Please, don’t speak harshly to him.”
“What happened to him?” When Hayden asked this sentence, the corner of his eye glanced at Elyette.
Averie told his son the truth,”Margaret said that your father died before, and what we see now is your father who was resurrected by Margaret. I want to take him to the hospital for examination, but he is very resistant to going to the hospital now. Someone so proud of him will definitely not be able to accept what he is like now.”
Hayden said with mixed feelings: “Even if he died before, isn’t he alive now?”
