Avery saw Elliot’s face and thought she was hallucinating.
She reached out and touched Elliot’s cheek.
“Awake?” Elliot whispered.
Hearing Elliot’s voice, Avery was terrified.
“I… My head hurts… Elliot, my head hurts!” Avery patted her head with her palm, trying to ease the pain.
Elliot immediately held her hand and prevented her from continuing to shoot.
“Elliot…is it the same when you have a headache?” Avery gasped, frowning tightly.
“you didn’t know how to drink and you drank so much.” Elliot sighed helplessly, “Don’t drink it next time.”
“…But I see everyone else is drinking. I want to drink.” Avery rubbed her temples and paused, “Elliot, I seem to have something to tell you… Let me think… I suddenly can’t remember.”
Elliot looked at her drunk and still in pain, and his heart was twisted.
“Think slowly, don’t worry.” Elliot squeezed her hand and waited patiently for her.
“Elliot…What am I going to say?” Avery gasped, the more she tried to remember, the less she could remember, “I have something very important to tell you. ….. Really, I really have something to tell you … but I can’t remember anything now.”
Avery said with words in her mouth, the more anxious, and the end cried.
And the more she cry, the more she sad, and the more uncontrollable it becomes.
As long as she still has a sense of reason, she can control herself not to be so sad in front of Elliot.
She has held on for so long, she can continue to hold on. But now the alcohol controls her consciousness, and all her words and deeds are out of control.
Elliot watched her cry into tears, and the tears fell out of control. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but couldn’t say a word.
Avery saw that Elliot seemed to be crying too, so she took his arm and struggled to sit up.
“Elliot, don’t cry… It breaks my heart to see you cry.” Avery was slightly awake, plunged her head into his arms, and wiped the tears off his shirt, “I…I cried just now, I was angry with myself, I drank too much… I can’t remember anything, I am anxious… It has nothing to do with you… It really has nothing to do with you…”
Avery was obviously drunk, but she was still worried that Elliot would find out that she was so sad because of him.
“Elliot, I’ll just sleep… When I sleep, I’ll be able to remember what I’m going to say to you…” She leaned against his chest, Smelling his familiar and unique breath, his heart was floating in the air, and he calmed down a little, “Elliot, you hold me… I want you to hold me… I’m so sleepy.”
Elliot hugged her according to her words.
She closed her eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep in his arms.
Two hours later, Mike and Hayden returned home.
Chad and Elliot were sitting in the living room and seemed to be waiting for them.
“Chad, why are you here? When did you come here? You didn’t say anything.” Mike complained, “Where’s Avery? Didn’t she come back? But I see Ali smoking in the yard!”
Chad: “Avery is drunk and sleeping in the room. I’m here to pick up my boss.”
“Drunk?” Mike raised his eyebrows, “Why is Avery drunk? Also, where are you going to pick up Elliot?”
“I’ll take my boss to a party. I’ll be back in about two days.” Chad said blankly, “If Avery wakes up, just tell her that.”
“Oh. Why is it so sudden?” Mike scratched his head and looked at Elliot, “Can’t you wait for Avery to wake up and tell her?”
“She’s going to the Jones family’s wedding tomorrow, and she doesn’t have time to accompany me.” Elliot replied.
His answer was watertight.
“That’s right!” Mike accepted his explanation, but was worried, “But why are you suddenly going to the entertainment? Can you be entertained with this body?”
Elliot’s eyes fell on Hayden’s face, but he didn’t listen at all what Mike said.
He waited until now just to see his son Hayden one last time.
