When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Mike coughed and said, “There’s no need to get the cops involved! Avery, where are you

right now? You sounded weak and exhausted.”

Avery stood up with the support of the pillar next to her and lied, “I’m at home.”

“Oh, were you still sleeping? Get back to bed! I‘m fine, just feeling wronged… Chad blames me for

everything, he’s so unreasonable!” Mike felt better after a rant session with Avery.

Avery got a cab and headed home.

She popped a fever pill and fell asleep in her bed. Laura didn‘t manage to ask what happened to

her.

At the old mansion, Elliot had been in the shower longer than an hour. He was still thinking about last

night, and couldn‘t accept that it was Zoe. He could settle Zoe anytime, but how could he face Avery?

He was more certain than before that he was still very much in love with Avery.

He couldn‘t lie to himself that he was unable to forget about her.

Elliot got out of the bathroom and stumbled upon Mrs. Cooper and Shea. “Master, Shea waited for you

all night,” Mrs. Cooper said.

Yes! Elliot recalled Avery came over to his room and told him to go home to Shea! He felt a sharp ache

against his heart. Did she or did she not come last night?

He remembered clearly that she did. The thought of them intimate on the bed…

How did Zoe end up on his bed?

“I couldn‘t reach you last night, so I called Avery for help. She promised to look for you, but you didn’t

come home last night... She didn‘t manage to get you.” Mrs. Cooper said to Elliot.

Shea cried till 3 in the morning, and only stopped because she was exhausted. As was Mrs. Cooper.

Elliot was shocked. His eyes looked down and uttered, “She found me... I heard her informing me…”

Mrs Cooper said, “Oh? Then you must be too drunk to come home. I’ll go get you some aspirin to

sober up.”

She left Elliot and Shea in the room. He looked at Shea, her eyes still swollen from all the crying last

night. “Shea, why did you cry last night? Did you miss big brother?”

Shea looked down and shook her head, “I‘m afraid of them... They hit me...”

Elliot embraced Shea in his arms and asked, “Did you have bad dreams last night? They are already

dead. Now, Shea, I will protect you forever! No one is going to bully you from now onwards!

“But…you weren’t here last night.” Shea sobbed.

“I’m so sorry, Shea.” Elliot felt a heartache against his chest.

He got dressed as Shea fell asleep. Elliot was experiencing dream-reality consutions. He needed to

talk to Avery.

VENNER

At the Starry River Villa, a black rolls–roice was parked right at the entrance. Laura shut down the

entrance as soon as she saw his car.

“Grandma, why did you close up the door?” Layla asked confusedly.

Laura’s face was grim, “Elliot Foster is outside, you‘re not allowed to open the door! Understand?”

Layla nodded her head vigorously and went looking for her brother. Elliot looked at the closed

entrance. He took out his phone and dialed Avery‘s number.
