 The incident that day was a painful lesson! Avery could not let her son directly go up against Elliot anymore.

“But you wouldn’t get injured for no reason. It must be him…” Hayden deduced, furrowing his brows.

“I wanted to see you and Layla badly last night, so I ran out alone. But I met with a wolf on the way,” Avery explained. “Go tell Uncle Mike and Layla that I’m fine. I don’t want them to worry about me, okay?”

“Mommy, are you really not coming back with me? The police can take us home.”

“My leg hurts badly. I’ll return home once it gets better.”

“Oh, Mommy, don’t run around. If the outside is so dangerous, just stay indoors. We will find a way to rescue you.”

Avery nodded in relief. “Hayden, I’m very happy that you came to look for me, but, if there are any more situations like this in the future, don’t come. You’re still so small. If anything were to happen to you, I’d be very sad!”
