Chapter: 2271

“I'm here," Averie responded quickly and faked a cough. “It's nothing. I was out late with my dad last night, and I think I've caught a cold from the wind."

Cathy felt a wave of relief.

She hadn't slept well all night after meeting with Averie. She was restless and worried.

"Do you have any cold medicine at home? Since you caught a cold, you need to see a doctor. Is it serious? Have you checked your temperature?" Cathy asked, her concern evident in her tone.

Averie felt a pang of sadness as she heard Cathy's worry. Tears started to form in her eyes.
