“If Eric wakes up and knows that the heart he uses belongs to you, do you think he can live a normal life in the future?” Elliot reminded, “Trust Avery once more, and Eric will be fine.”
The two elders of the Santos family nodded.
Mr. Santos said, “Don’t put so much pressure on Avery. No matter what the final result is, we are all mentally prepared.”
Elliot: “I understand your pain. We will do our best to save his life.”
“Thank you.”
After Elliot and Layla left Santos’s house, Layla opened the car window to let in the cold wind.
Elliot looked at LAyla: “Layla, close the car windows. Don’t freeze.”
Layla:”Dad, I feel a little hot.”
Elliot: “Your mother told me that although you have recovered now, your body is still the same. It’s relatively weak and can’t catch a cold.”
After Elliot finished speaking, he immediately gave the driver a look.
The driver immediately closed the window on Layla’s side.
“Eric’s parents are also much older.” Layla recalled everything that happened today, feeling very uncomfortable.
“Even if Eric doesn’t have an accident, they will still be old. Their aging is not caused by you. Layla, you can start going to work tomorrow!” Elliot was afraid that Layla would stay at home and think wildly, so he asked her to go to work.
“I do plan to start work tomorrow.” Layla said calmly, “You also said that Eric will wake up. Since he will wake up, I just need to live and work well and wait for him to wake up.”
Elliot’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down: “I was just persuading people. No one can guarantee you 100% that Eric will return to normal. Even if you find a suitable heart, it is very important after transplantation. Because of rejection There are not a few deaths.”
“Dad, do you think we don’t understand these truths?” Layla took a breath, “People need hope to live. If there is no hope, what is the difference with walking dead.”
“Dad is not trying to kill your hope. Dad wants you Be prepared to bear bad news.” Elliot stretched out his hand to hold his daughter’s cold hand, “In addition to getting married and having children, there are many things you can do when you are alive. The meaning of life is not only love.”
“Dad, you also lost Mom. You know how hard it feels. No matter what you try to persuade me now, I can’t listen.” Layla looked at her father and tried to calm herself. “I need hope and time. It’s painful, but I tell myself to live well every day. I know that there is more than Eric in life. I also have you and my mother, as well as brothers and sisters. Your love for me will never be less than Eric’s for me. So I have to live well.”
Elliot heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Layla said.
The daughter was sober.
“You said just now that I lost your mother too, so I understand how you feel.” After a moment of silence, Elliot continued, “I’ve never been alone since I had you and Robert. No matter what Whatever happens, as long as I think of you and Robert, I will have the motivation to live.”
After listening to her father’s words, Layla remembered how kind her father was to her when she was a child, and immediately threw herself into her father’s arms.
……
Fast forward to Friday night.
After class, Hazel took out her mobile phone and saw the message from Teacher Lloyd.
Teacher Lloyd had already left the University.
Robert hired a teacher for Hazel to practice pronunciation with Hazel every weekend, and at the same time teach the skills of broadcasting. Robert organized a dinner tonight, and everyone met and chatted together.
“Hazel, today is my birthday. I have invited some students from our class out for dinner. Do you want to go with me?” A female classmate walked up to Hazel and asked.
