Chapter 806 In Bridgedale, after Mike and Tammy had a few rounds of alcohol, they started to vent to each other.
Tammy said that she was in a lot of pain. She knew that there was no hope with Jun, yet she still could not forget him.
Thus, Mike spread his hair apart to show her his scar. “I almost died previously. Right when my injuries were the most serious, my boyfriend dumped me. I think I’m worse off than you. After all, you’re not the one that got dumped.”
“Okay, you’re much worse than me. Not only was I not dumped, but I also did not almost die from sickness.” Tammy raised her glass to him. “How did you come out of it?”
Mike took a sip of wine. “I can now say that I am not afraid of death, but when I was almost dying, I was actually quite afraid. Avery saved me from the brink of death. What I then thought was not that I had been dumped, but I was still alive. Do you understand the joy of returning from the brink of death? Hahaha!”
Tammy nodded. “To be honest, although I’m in pain and I can’t sleep well at night, I’m still quite satisfied when I have food. I won’t die just because a relationship doesn’t work out. Being alive is quite good.”
Mike said, “Yes! You’re so pretty, I’m sure you’ll find better men in the future.”
Tammy said, “Thank you for drinking with me and comforting me. I feel much better.”
“We’re friends! Don’t mention it! It’s the New Year. Let’s not be unhappy!” Mike poured her some wine.
Avery took a bottle of fruit juice over and swapped the wine bottle with it.
“Don’t drink too much. You’ll get hungover.” Mike immediately handed his glass to Avery. “I’ll listen to you. I still want to watch Layla’s performance!”
Tammy lifted her cup and downed it. Then, she said to Avery, “Avery, I was too impulsive when we last fought. I shouldn’t have lost my temper at you.”
“Let the past, be the past. You don’t have to bring it up again.” Avery saw how Tammy blushed. She took away her wine glass. “Just stay over tonight! Didn’t you say Aunt Mary has returned to Aryadelle? There’s no one to care for you when you get back home. I’ll be worried.”
“Hmm. Hmm.” Tammy burped ANNLAP<a fumbled around. “Have I given something to the kids? Where’s my bag?”
“Your bag is over on the sofa. Have some food first, the gifts can wait.” Avery poured a glass of warm water for her and placed it in front of her.
“Tammy, no matter how painful the past, it will pass. Don’t be afraid. I will always be with you.
Tammy’s reddened eyes sparkled with tears. “My mom said the same thing too.”
“Because it really will pass. Whether it’s a happy thing or a terrible thing, it will all become memories,” Avery comforted Tammy.
Mrs. Cooper took Avery’s phone over.
“Avery, your phone is ringing.”
Avery accepted her phone from Mrs. Cooper. She saw that it was from Elliot.
It was not a normal call but a video call. She recalled that they have not reconciled yet, why did he video call her?
She accepted the call. Just when she was about to ask if he was looking for Layla, she realized that he was lying in bed. His handsome face had a tinge of redness. His eyes were a little in a daze.
He was clearly drunk. She did not think he was calling looking for Layla.
Avery took her phone and headed to her room.
“Avery, Happy New Year.” When Elliot saw her face, he said to her.
Avery entered her room and closed the door shut.
“Elliot, are you drunk?” She asked, but she thought that if he was not drunk, he would not have called her.
Elliot wanted to prove that he was not drunk, so he sat up.
After sitting up, he said hoarsely, “I’m not drunk.” “Oh, how much have you drunk?” Avery also sat down by her bed.
“Two or three glasses.” Elliot rubbed his temples and said hoarsely, “You haven’t wished me a Happy New Year.”
