Elliot took a pen from Layla's pen holder and scribbled his signature on the piece of white paper.
After signing it, he returned the paper to Layla.
"Layla, what happened? Your teacher didn't tell me about it."
"I told my teacher not to tell you all about it."
Layla took the signed paper and sat down by her desk.
She said glumly, "She told me to write a self-review."
Elliot was stunned.
He immediately pulled a stool over and sat down next to Layla.He asked in alow voice, "Why do you
have to write a self-review? What did you do?"
He did not believe that his daughter would make any huge mistakes.
However, if she did not make a huge mistake, her teacher would not have asked her to write a self-
review.
"There's an annoying boy in our class.He keeps following me around.Today, he wanted to follow me into
the toilet.I was so angry, so I beat him up,"
Layla's voice faltered, "His parents came to school.They were angry, and they wanted me to apologize to
him, but I did not want to, so my teacher told me to write a self- review."
Elliot immediately took Layla's hand and looked at it closely.
"Baby, are you hurt?"
Layla awkwardly flushed.
She retracted her hand.
"I hit him with a stick."
Elliot was speechless.
No wonder the boy's parents wanted Layla to apologize.It looked like Layla had hurt the boy.
"Then, you should listen to your teacher and write a self-review!" Elliot said.
"If you don't want Mommy to know, I won't tell her."
"Don't tell her.It's such an embarrassing thing.I don't want to know."
Layla had a nervous expression.
"Hmm.I will help you keep your secret."
Layla's gaze fell on the piece of white paper.She bit her pen and said frustratedly, Daddy, I don't know
how to write a self-review.
Why don't you help me write it!"
Elliot was speechless.He too had never written a self-review before.He had been protected at a young
age by the bodyguards hired by the Fosters.He had always gotten good grades, and he had never had to
write a self-review.However, since Layla had asked him to do so, he forced himself to agree toit.
"I'll write a draft for you, you can copy it for your review, " said Elliot.
Layla widened her eyes.
"Just imitate my handwriting! I don't want to write a self-review.I don't want to copy it either," Layla said
while handing the pen and paper to Elliot.
"The self-review is for the teacher to see.Even if my teacher knows that you wrote it, it will still be fine!"
Elliot had nothing to say.
Half an hour later, Elliot had finished helping Layla write her self- review.He held Layla's hands and
headed downstairs.
Avery saw Elliot and Layla holding hands and Layla was smiling widely, so she asked, "Layla, what did
Daddy say to you to make you so happy?"
"Today's homework is a little tough, so Daddy taught me how to do it," said Layla.
She had smoothly come up with a believable excuse.
Avery did not doubt her.
"Hayden will be back a little later today.Let's eat first.We don't have to wait for him."
The next day, the artificial womb that Avery ordered from abroad arrived in Aryadelle.It was sent to
Elizabeth Hospital.
When Elliot saw the equipment required for the artificial womb, he was stunned.
There were many sophisticated pieces of medical equipment connected to a large transparent bag.
"When is the surgery?" He asked in a daze.
