“Mom! I can find someone from the housekeeping company to clean up! You don’t need to
do this kind of rough work.” Layla forcefully invited Avery to sit down on the sofa, “Mom,
Have you had dinner? If not, let’s have it together!”
“I have eaten with your father.” Avery couldn’t sit still because she found that her
daughter’s face seemed to have lost weight, “Layla, have you lost weight? Why have you
become so haggard after two days of absence?”
Elliot also looked at Layla after hearing this.
It’s okay if he didn’t watch it, but he couldn’t sit still after watching it.
“Baby, do you not eat well every day? Do you not sleep well either?”
Layla panicked all of a sudden.
The worried and distressed eyes of Avery and Elliot made Layla feel particularly guilty.
She felt that she shouldn’t hide it from her parents, but she also thought that if she told the
truth to her parents, they would definitely feel even more heartbroken.
“I… I’m just on my period… I don’t have a good appetite.” After hesitating for a few
seconds, Layla decided to make the big problem smaller, after all, her gastroenteritis was

“Then you should go home for the next few days! Why do you have to cook for yourself
when you’re so haggard! No matter how bad it is, you can order takeaway!” Avery said,
taking off the apron from her daughter.
Seeing her daughter wearing an apron, Avery couldn’t stand it.
Layla had never been in the kitchen to cook since she was a child. Now that she was so
weak, she still had to cook and eat by herself. It was really hard!
“Mom, I’m just on my period and I’m not sick! I look weak, but I’m actually fine!” Layla
stood up from the sofa to prove that she was fine, “Look, I’m really fine!”
“You just don’t want to go home, right?” Avery saw Layla trying to be brave, although she
felt distressed, she would not force her.
“Hey, I just want to stay in bed these two days and don’t want to move.” Layla curled her
lips, “I’ll be fine in two days. When my appetite improves, I’ll gain weight back soon.”
“Okay. You can eat first!” Avery took out the food she brought from the bag, and the aroma
immediately hit her nostrils.
Layla’s stomach growled.
In the past two days, she followed the principle of eating less and more meals, and she
didn’t eat much at each meal, so she was hungry quickly.
“Are you so hungry?” Avery handed the chopsticks to Layla, and then brought out the soup
for her.
Seeing Layla starting to eat, Elliot got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Out of the corner of her eye, Layla watched her father go to the kitchen. Although her
heartstrings were tense, she was still calm.
As long as Elliot didn’t go to the guest room, it’s fine.
“I’ll go to the kitchen to have a look.” Avery thought about what Layla said to clean up in
the kitchen, but she might not have cleaned it up yet, so she wanted to go to the kitchen to
help her clean up.
“Okay!” Layla responded, and Avery walked towards the kitchen.
On the counter in the kitchen, there were pre-cut vegetables, and on the cutting board,
there were chopped green onions, ginger and garlic…

“It seems that she really likes to cook. People who have their periods are very weak. If it
were me, I would definitely not cook by myself.”
Elliot didn’t want Layla to suffer from cooking, so he didn’t pick up the compliments on
Avery.
Layla saw her Mom and Dad in the kitchen, so she slipped into the bedroom immediately
with the bowl in hand. Hide all the stomach medicine in the bedroom under the bed!
In case Avery insisted on coming to clean her room later, no matter whether it was placed
in the bedside cabinet or in the closet, it might be seen by Avery.
After hiding the stomach medicine, Layla’s tense nerves immediately relaxed a lot.
She came out of the bedroom with the bowl in her hand, and suddenly found that her
mother was alone in the kitchen.
“Mom! Where’s Dad?” When Layla asked this sentence, she found that the door of the guest
room opened at some point!
With a bang, Layla felt a thunderbolt knocking her down!
“I don’t know! The house is only this big, let’s see if your dad went to the bathroom…”
Avery didn’t know where Elliot went.
