Chapter 1716
“Your mother doesn’t seem to use her mobile phone now. I’ll call your Uncle Mike, and he will tell your mother.” Wesley picked up the phone and spoke to the two children.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Layla’s eyes.
Wesley dialed Mike’s number and told him about Tammy’s childbirth.
Mike said, “Oh, I’ll tell her tomorrow. She’s probably asleep by now.”
Wesley: “Well. Layla and Robert are by my side, do you want to talk to Layla?”
“Yes. Let’s make a video call.” Mike finished and hung up the phone.
Within five seconds, Mike’s video call came.
Wesley took the video call and handed the phone to Layla.
Layla looked at Mike’s smiling face in the video call, her mouth pouted to the sky.
“Where’s my mom?” Layla asked, frowning.
Mike: “Your mother is sleeping.”
“I don’t believe it. My mother must be missing. Otherwise, why would she not contact me? Go to my mother’s room, I want to see if my mother is really sleeping.” Layla said to Mike made this request.
Mike hesitated for two seconds, then took the mobile phone and walked towards Avery’s room.
He pushed the door open a little, set the camera to the rear, and let Layla look at the big bed in the master bedroom.
Avery was really lying on the bed. It’s just that the room was very dark, and Layla couldn’t see her mother’s facial features clearly, only saw vaguely familiar outlines.
When Layla recognized her mother, she lost control of her emotions.
“Woohoo!” Layla’s cry came and Mike immediately closed the door, afraid of waking Avery.
“Layla, don’t cry. Doesn’t your brother often make video calls for you?” Mike looked at Layla’s crying wrinkled face, and it was a lie to say that he was not distressed.
If Avery heard her daughter’s cry, she might be impulsive and go back to Aryadelle immediately.
During the day, Mike took her to the hospital to have her eyes checked.
The doctor asked her if Avery had cried because her recovery was not very good.
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
“My brother doesn’t make me video calls too often! The last time he made me a video call was last month…” Layla thought for a while, and cried until she burst into tears.
Robert stood beside Layla, hugging her sister’s legs tightly with both hands, trying to comfort her, but he didn’t know how.
Mike had a headache, and then said: “It’s only the beginning of July, and it’s not a few days until last month!”
“You go and wake up my mother now and let her talk to me.” Layla’s eyes were flushed, and she said and gave an order to Mike.
“Layla, I can’t wake your mom. She didn’t take a nap today. She was more emotional than you after the divorce from your dad. She’s always crying secretly. If she sees you, she’ll cry like crazy again.” Mike explained to Layla.
Layla suddenly softened. She didn’t want her mother to cry.
“Uncle Wesley said that my mom will come to me at the end of the year, is it true?” Layla stopped crying.
Mike coaxed Layla, “It’s hard to say, but it’s possible. Layla, you have to be obedient, we will go back to you and Robert when we have a chance.”
“Oh…” Layla looked down. When she got to Robert. She immediately squatted down, hugged Robert and looked at the camera together.
Robert thought her mother was on the screen, so before she saw the screen, she sweetly called out ‘mom’.
Mike didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Who’s mom? I’m your uncle Mike!”
Seeing Mike, Robert immediately turned around and threw himself into his sister’s arms, unwilling to look at the camera again.
“Stinky boy, why are you so ruthless!” Mike was indignant.
Robert hugged Layla’s neck tightly and muttered softly: “Sister go! Let’s go!”
About two hours later, Tammy gave birth to a little princess by caesarean section in the hospital.
