His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2224

"It's over! Mommy is home!" Layla whined.

Seeing how afraid she was, the bodyguard chuckled. "What are you so scared for? Just blame it on your brother."

"No way!" She scowled. "Besides, even if I tell her that Hayden pulled me out into the rain, do you really think Mommy is going to believe me?"

"Then you are getting scolded." The bodyguard felt amused but did not dare to let it show. "Don't worry, I'll probably get a scolding, too."

Layla took a deep breath and got out of the car.

The rain had turned milder at this point. Avery and Mrs. Cooper came outside with an umbrella to take them in, and Robert instantly burst into tears the moment he saw them.

"Mommy, it's hot... I'm dying!" Robert's face was flushed as he cried.

Avery immediately ran toward the car at the sound of Robert's cry and Hayden unbuckled the seatbelt of Robert's child seat, before carrying Robert to Avery.

The bodyguard instantly realized that he had turned the heat up to the maximum out of fear that Layla and Hayden would catch a cold, but he had forgotten to remove Robert's jacket.

Robert was wearing a thick-down jacket and must have been on the brink of getting heatstroke.

Avery felt as though she was holding a fireball when she held her son. Not having enough time to check on Layla and Hayden, she took Robert inside the house.

"Darling, why are you so hot?" Avery did not know what had happened. "Are you coming down with a fever?"

She immediately took off his down jacket as soon as they were inside the house and noticed that his inner layer of clothes was drenched with sweat.

Avery tensed and took the clothes off, before grabbing a blanket from the couch to cover Robert.

"Don't blame Layla." Worried, Hayden felt that he should be protecting his younger sister. "I was the one who took them out shopping. I didn't check the weather report and didn't know it was going to rain, so we didn't bring an umbrella."

"I'm going to lecture her, but I won't blame anything on her," Avery said. "Go shower! I will take Layla to shower."

Layla had long hair and she usually washed it herself or had her maid at home help her with it.

Reassured, Hayden turned to return to his room.

"By the way, Hayden, your dad is awake now," Avery added.

"Ohh!" Layla exclaimed, "Daddy is alive?! He's not dying?!"
