Joanna’s face turned red and hot as she listened to what Avery said while standing next to her.
“We’re all embarrassed when you say that.” Mrs. Picard sighed that Avery was just like what her daughter said, she had no airs at all, and she was full of enthusiasm and vitality, not like a wealthy lady at all.
“What’s there to be embarrassed about! Joanna is really a very nice girl! Our whole family likes her very much.” Avery said.
Joanna brought a chair over for Avery to sit on.
Avery sat down and looked at Joanna: “Joanna, Hayden didn’t go home to sleep yesterday, was he accompanying you in the hospital?”
Avery asked this because she wanted to determine where her son and Joanna had progressed.
Joanna immediately shook her head: “No. He said there is a house near the hospital, and he should live there.”
Joanna couldn’t lie.
If she did not tell Avery where Hayden slept last night, Avery would speculate wildly and possibly return to Hayden to inquire.
So Joanna simply told Avery to make Avery feel at ease.
“He does seem to have a house near this hospital. I almost forgot if you didn’t tell me!” Avery laughed loudly, “Joanna, you see, he even told you this, which means he didn’t take you seriously as an outsider.”
Joanna blushed even more.
If Avery knew that Joanna and her mother were living in that villa now, she didn’t know how she would react.
“My son has been boring since he was a child, especially when it comes to dealing with outsiders. He is not very flexible. But he is still very clever in doing things, but he doesn’t like to deal with interpersonal relationships. Joanna, I can see that he still likes you a little. If you can take the initiative, maybe the two of you can succeed!” Avery took Joanna’s hand and pinned her hopes on her.
Outside the ward door.
Hayden came to see Mrs. Picard with Gia in his arms.
Because when Hayden was talking to his mother on the phone last night, his mother said that she would come to see Mrs. Picard on the day of Mrs. Picard’s operation, and Mrs. Picard’s operation was scheduled for tomorrow, so Hayden didn’t think that his mother would come today.
Hayden got out of the elevator with Gia in his arms and strode to the intensive care unit area.
His attention was all on Gia, so he didn’t notice the bodyguard standing outside the door of the ward.
It was the bodyguard who saw him and called out, “Boss Tate.”
Hayden heard the familiar voice, and immediately looked at the bodyguard.
Hayden: “Why are you here?!”
The bodyguard was his mom’s.
Normally, wherever the mother was, there was her bodyguard.
Could it be…
The bodyguard confirmed Hayden’s guess: “Your mother is inside.”
After a pause, the bodyguard looked at Gia in Hayden’s arms and asked, “Who is this?”
Hayden was speechless.
Hayden hugged his daughter in one hand, and walked aside with the bodyguard with the other.
“Don’t tell my mother that you’ve seen me.” Hayden told the bodyguard, “This child is also mine, but they are unaware of it. I haven’t decided how to tell them. Did you understand that you are not allowed to tell them before I tell them?”
Seeing Hayden’s serious face, the bodyguard nodded sharply.
The bodyguard’s task was to protect Avery’s safety. The bodyguard dared not talk casually about their family’s affairs.
After explaining to the bodyguard, Hayden immediately left with Gia in his arms.
Avery stayed in the ward for about an hour before leaving.
