Chapter 531 Avery did not expect the fight to be about such a trivial matter.
“Of course I wouldn’t be mad, but it’s true that it’s not a very polite thing to do,” she said patiently. “You could wait for me to come home, then ask me if you could open it. If I gave you my permission, then you could open it.”
“Okay, Mommy. Can I open it now?”
“Sure!” As Avery picked up the package, the expression on her face suddenly turned heavy.” Layla, I don’t know who sent this package or what’s inside. I think it’s better if I open35 it.”
Avery was worried that whatever was inside was something inappropriate, and it would be bad if the children got shocked by it.
“Okay…” Layla was even more curiouse8 now.
Avery picked up a small pair of scissors, then cut through the tape on the package.
The nanny walked over and asked, “Is Mike coming home for dinner tonight, 79 Avery?” “He’s got a business meeting tonight, so he won’t be joining us,” Avery answered.
“Alright. I’ll serve dinner now,87 then.”
“Okay.”
Avery placed the scissors down after opening the7a package.
A wave of cold air seeped out from the box.
She pulled out an ice pack from the package.
She began to feel cautious…
Packages that have ice packs in them typically carried fresh food, but the box was not that big.
Apart from the ice pack, there was also something small wrapped in black tape.
She pulled it out of the box, and opened it up…
“What is it, Mommy?” Layla lifted her head and grabbed onto her mother’s clothes.
A wave of nausea overcame Avery!
With the box in her arms, she hurriedly ran into the bathroom!
“Mommy! What’s wrong?!” Layla cried out in shock.
Hayden immediately hugged her and said, “Don’t be scared. Mommy’s carrying a baby right now, so she can’t help but throw up sometimes.”
Only then did Layla stop crying.
The nanny heard the commotion and rushed over to the bathroom.
“Are you alright, Avery?”
Avery had locked the door after entering the bathroom.
Under normal circumstances, she would answer the nanny.
However, she did not say a word after going into the bathroom.
She was horrified!
Wrapped inside the black tape was a severed finger.
It was probably cut off not too long ago… There were still traces of fresh blood on it.
Avery’s entire body trembled uncontrollably as she held onto the box.
Inside the box was something that looked like an MP3 player.
Logic told her that she needed to take it out and listen to it right away.
She had to find out who sent the package and who the finger belonged to, but she was terrified!
She was pregnant right now. She could not act as recklessly as she used to.
The bathroom door did not open up until half an hour later.
The nanny and the children stood outside the door and watched as Avery walked out hazily with reddened eyes.
“I’m fine… Don’t worry…”
She forced herself to stay collected despite her pale complexion.
“Go and have dinner! I’m not hungry… You don’t have to worry about me,” she mumbled, then carried the box upstairs.
