Chapter 765 Suddenly a cry brought her back to the present.
Robert was probably crying because of the noise outside.
Avery immediately picked him up from the cradle.
As soon as she picked him up, the little guy stopped crying.
“Robert, my brother and sister are playing with the snow outside. When you‘re a little older, can they take you with them?” She stood by the window with her son in her arms, looking out at the scenery.
Robert could not hug her vertically yet, so he stared at Avery‘s face with his big dark eyes, entranced.
“Baby, are you hungry? It seems like it‘s been two hours since you last drank milk… Mommy will make you some milk.” Avery carried him to the crib.
The nanny wanted to help, but she realized that Avery was very familiar with everything, be it coaxing the child or making milk. Outsiders could not interfere at all.
“Miss Avery, you‘re amazing. No matter what you do, you‘re very good at it,” the nanny praised.
Avery accepted the praise and asked, “When do you plan to go home for the new year? You could have just told me in advance.”
The nanny said, “I‘ll take a break on the 29th! Robert is so young. I‘m afraid you and Mrs. Cooper will be too busy. I can at least cook and clean for you.”
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“Not at all,” the nanny said when she saw that she couldn‘t help. “I‘ll get lunch ready.”
At the Foster residence.
Elliot did not go to the company today. He had a cold, but he did not go to the company because of it.
He knew that Ben and Chad had gone to Avery‘s house to celebrate Robert‘s discharge last night.
If he went to the company today, Ben and Chad would definitely not be able to resist telling him about Robert.
Even if they could resist saying it, he would naturally think of it.
He’d toyed with the idea of going over to see the baby last night, but in the end the pain had overcome reason.
He could not cross the hurdle in his heart.
He felt that he might be ill, not physically, but psychologically.
After breakfast, he took a cold pill and drifted off to sleep.
When he woke at noon, he stared at the chELVIBU;helier hanging from the ceiling, his spirits
sinking further.
Perhaps there was a psychological problem and an element of illness.
–
Without the bond of a child, he might have allowed himself to be sick.
Evening
Mrs. Cooper picked up a call and did not know what the other party said. Mrs. Cooper immediately took out her phone and handed it to Avery. “It‘s Mrs. Scarlet. She‘s looking for
you.”
After Shea‘s accident, Mrs. Scarlet started to take care of Elliot‘s daily life.

Avery took the phone from Mrs. Cooper and walked toward her room.
“Avery, Sir asked a psychiatrist to come to the house today,” Mrs. Scarlet said in a choked voice. “He thinks there‘s something wrong with his mind. But I don‘t think a psychiatrist can open his heart. He might as well look for you.”
Avery’s heart sank. She understood what Mrs. Scarlet meant.
However, she might not be able to help Elliot recover from his grief.
She had no confidence in herself.
“Avery, since Sir is unwilling to visit Robert, why don‘t… why don‘t you bring Robert over for him to take a look?” Mrs. Scarlet hesitated for a moment before saying.
Avery‘s fingers tightened around the phone.
Forty minutes later Avery carried the child to the Foster family.
