When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

Chapter 897

Chapter 897 Shea usually stayed out and would only return home on certaind3 occasions.

Elliot was happy to see his sister that day, but his father seemed to be in a bad mood. After having a few glasses to

drink, his father suddenly started beating Shea.

All the joy and fantasies were shattered at that verycb moment,

The servants in the house ran off and Shea was wailing from being beaten; his mother was pulling his father back in

an attempt to stop him, but his father shoved her aside forcefully. In the end, his elder brother helped his mother

back into her room while his father dragged Shea outside.

The moonlight shone through the night, but all Elliot saw was darkness. He wanted to end the misery and the

source of it was his father. If he killed his father, his family would not suffer any longer. That night, he put an end to

his father’s life with his own hands.

“Avery, it’s not what you think… Shea is my closest family, how could I…” Elliot tried to explain.

Just then, the door to Avery’s bedroom was pushed open.

Layla held a form in her hand and ran towards Avery

“Mom! Who are you talking to?” Layla stared at Avery’s phone curiously and said, “Our teachers gave us a form

and we are to have our parents fill it out before bringing it back to school tomorrow. I almost forgot about it!” Avery

swiftly hung up the phone and took the form from her daughter’s hand.

“I will fill it out right now.” Avery set her phone down to look for a pen.

“Mom, what is written on the form?” Layla followed Avery around.

“It’s a form for family information.” Avery sat down by the table once she found a pen. “I didn’t have to fill out this

sort of document back when I was a student, though.”

“Oh. Why is it necessary now, then?”

“Maybe the teachers are just trying to get to know you better.” Avery did not think that family background had

anything to do with the students’ performance at school, but if the school said to do so, she might as well fill in the

form. However, she hesitated when she reached the blank that was meant for the father’sed name.

‘Should I put Elliot’s name on it?” she thought, “The teachers will definitely take extra care of Layla from now on if I

put Elliot’s name here.’

After thinking it through for a moment, she decided to leave itie blank.

Elliot stared at his phone after Avery hung up and felt terribly depressed. He couldn’t explain his past in a few words

and decided that he could only wait until Jun’s wedding to explain it to Avery in person.

Avery twisted and turned that night, unable to fall asleep. Elliot did not have the chance to finish what he had to

say, but he had not called or messaged her back since she had finished filling up the form for94 Layla.

If he did not intend on talking, she didn’t want to ask about it either because they were already in an argument; she

was worried that continuing on the same topic would only bring further damage to their relationship.

At three in the morning, she finally drifted off to sleep18 restlessly.

She had a dream of Charlie, who had passed away recently. Inside her dream, she had just met Charlie and he was

a respectful gentleman to her; suddenly, he grabbed onto her arm with a vicious expression and shouted, “Elliot

Foster is a murderer! He is a murderer! Avery, stay away from him! Otherwise, he’s going to kill you next!”
