Ch. 1691..1700

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1691

Hayden hung up the phone and looked up at the door of the operating room.

After Avery got off the plane, he went directly to the hospital and entered the operating room.

Her medical records were sent when she was in Aryadelle.

Everything here is ready, just waiting for her to come.

"Did Gwen call?" Mike asked.

Hayden: "Well."

Mike walked to the bench and sat down, took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, put two in his mouth, and then handed the box to Hayden.

"Why don't you go back and rest first! I'll just wait here." Mike chewed his gum with a calm face, "Your mother will be fine. The doctor who operated on her is an expert ophthalmologist in Bridgedale."

Hayden shook his head. He wanted to wait here for his mother's operation to be over.

Mike looked at him, and said, "You have to report to the new school tomorrow. Do you want to go to school with two dark circles under your eyes? You signed a five-year contract with the school this time, and within five years, you cannot transfer schools."

"Do you think it's possible for my mother to be with that b*stard?" Hayden sat down beside Mike.

"I didn't say anything about Elliot. Your mother said that when her eyes recover, she will still go back to Aryadelle. That's her hometown, her best friends are there, she can't live in Bridgedale. Even if you settle down, it's only a short-term settlement." Mike kept talking, the chewing gum in his mouth suddenly fell onto Hayden's arm.

Mike was stunned.

Hayden was also stunned.

Before Hayden could react, Mike quickly picked up the chewing gum on his arm and put it back in his mouth.

Hayden: "…"

Mike was chewing gum with a smile on his lips, but he didn't dare to continue speaking.

Hayden glared at him with disgust, and then quickly walked to the bathroom.

Avery's surgery took two hours.

After the operation, she was sent to the ward.

Her eyes were wrapped in white gauze, she didn't speak, and she didn't know if she was awake.

Mike looked at the time and said to Hayden, "Go back first! Your mother doesn't know when she will wake up. When she wakes up, I'll call you. Go back to the room and rest."

After Hayden left, the attending doctor entered the ward, walked to the bedside, and asked Avery, "How are you feeling now? If it hurts very much, I can give you painkillers."

Mike was shocked: "Avery, are you Awake? I thought you weren't awake under anesthesia! You heard me talking to Hayden just now, why didn't you say anything?"

Avery: "I'm afraid that Hayden won't leave if I speak."

Mike: "Okay. Well, how are you feeling now?"

"It's okay. It hurts a bit, but it's acceptable." Avery couldn't sleep because of the pain, and she couldn't see anything now, which was a bad feeling.

But she has to get used to it.

Mike: "Then you have a good rest. I have something to call the nurse. I'll get off work first."

Avery: "Thank you."

Mike: "It's okay."

After the doctor left, Mike sat down in front of the hospital bed and asked her, "After this operation, you will be able to recover?"

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1692

Avery replied: "No."

"Why? Do you need another operation? Why is it so complicated? Is the doctor confident to cure your eyes?" Mike became anxious.

She thought she would recover after the operation. Unexpectedly, it can't be.

Avery said, "If the recovery is good after this operation, the cornea will be replaced later. After the cornea is replaced, the light can be restored. As long as there are no major problems with this operation, the subsequent operation will be very simple."

"Oh… cornea replacement… Where can I find corneas? Does the hospital have a cornea bank? Is there any specific requirements for corneal transplantation?"

"Mike, don't be nervous." Avery's tone was calm, "The hospital has a cornea bank. The doctor will help me find it. These are all trivial matters. Now wait for the operation to see how the recovery is going!"

"You will definitely recover very well." Mike encouraged her, "You can't see anything right now, aren't you scared? Don't worry, I'll stay by your side every step of the way."

"I asked you to hire a nurse for me, did you?" Avery asked.

It's inconvenient for Avery to do anything now, and since she and Mike are different from men and women, it's more convenient for her to ask a carer.

Mike: "Please, do I need to call the nurse now?"

"How much medicine do I have?" Avery is infusion now.

Mike: "There is still a small bottle."

"When the medicine is over, call the nurse in. The nurse will be with me. You can go back and rest." Avery said.

"What are you thinking. How can I trust a stranger to look at you? I must be here with you." Mike replied without hesitation.

Avery: "Hayden is at home alone, how can I rest assured?"

Mike reassured her, "There are bodyguards to accompany him. It really doesn't work, I'll hire another nanny to serve him. You can recuperate now and don't think about anything. And there's Layla, don't worry too much. Layla is almost ten years old, she should be stronger."

Avery pursed her lips and didn't answer.

For Layla and Robert, she is very apologetic. But now, she really can't take care of them.

Mike comforted her, "I asked Hayden to make a video call to Layla every day. If you want children, you can call them. When your illness is cured, you can go back to Aryadelle to take care of the children at any time. Elliot didn't say that you would not be allowed to take care of the children, right? "

Avery: "He's not so heartless."

Mike gave her a advice, "If Elliot doesn't show you Layla and Robert, you won't show him Hayden. Besides, he can control Robert now but can't control Layla."

"Don't think about it so much." Avery's eyes were particularly painful, and the wounds in the eyes involved the nerves in the whole head. I couldn't bear the pain if I didn't want to, and it would hurt even more if I wanted to be sad."

It felt like everyone was going to explode.

"Would you like a nurse to give you painkillers?" Mike asked.

"No need… just get over it after a while." Avery couldn't forget how Layla broke down and cried when she left.

No matter how painful Avery is now, she can't make up for the debt she owes to her daughter.

……

Aryadelle.

Starry River Villa.

3:00 in the morning.

Elliot was not sleepy. He came out of the bedroom and walked towards his daughter's room.

Tonight, Mrs. Cooper took Robert to sleep in Layla's room.

He didn't need to worry about it at first, but he was thinking about his daughter, and he always felt that her daughter was too sad this time, and she might not be able to sleep well at night.

He pushed the door of the room lightly open -

only the orange warm light was on inside, and the sound of Layla's sobbing could be heard clearly.

Mrs. Cooper sat next to Layla and coaxed her in a low voice: "Your brother and I will accompany you, we will always be with you."

Elliot strode into the room and saw the antipyretic sticker on Layla's forehead, her brows taut. She frowned and asked, "Does Layla have a fever?"

Mrs. Cooper saw Elliot coming in and immediately replied, "Well, I took her temperature and it didn't exceed 38.5 C., so I just put a fever-reducing patch on her."

Layla saw Elliot, the switch of the lacrimal gland seemed to be turned off.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1693

"I don't want you! Go away! You're a badss! You badss dad! I hate you!" Layla exclaimed suddenly.

Robert, who was on the bed next to him, was awakened instantly.

After Robert was woken up by the screams, he cried with a 'wow'.

In an instant, the cries were endless and deafening.

Mrs. Cooper looked embarrassed and didn't know whether to coax Robert or continue to coax Layla.

Elliot said to Mrs. Cooper, "Take Robert away. I'll talk to Layla."

Mrs. Cooper, "Okay…Sir, be patient, Layla is sick now…"

Elliot: "Yeah."

After Mrs. Cooper carried Robert away, who was crying, only Layla's cry was left in the room.

Layla cried so hard today that her voice was hoarse.

In addition, she was ill at the moment, and her face looked flushed, not only the skin on her face was red, but her eyes were also red.

Elliot stood in front of the bed and looked at his daughter helplessly: "Layla, I'm sorry. Dad didn't mean to separate you from your mother. Your mother insisted on divorce from me, I have no other choice."

"It's all yours. Wrong! You made a mistake and my mom divorced you!" Layla looked at him with broken eyes and shouted, "I hate you!"

After the last sentence, Layla coughed violently.

Elliot listened to her heavy breathing and felt that she might be seriously ill.

He reached out to touch Layla's forehead, but before he could touch her, she slapped his arm hard.

"Don't touch me!" Layla looked like an angry little lion. "If you don't give me back to my mother, I won't eat again! I'll starve to death!"

"Layla, dad will take you Hospital first. You have a bad burn."

When Elliot stretched his hand and patted her arm just now, he felt that his daughter's arm was hot.

"I want my mother! If you don't send me to my mother, let me die!" Layla hugged her little pillow and cried very sadly.

Elliot looked at his daughter's grievance and grief. His heart was as hard as a rock, but also softened.

"Okay, I'll call your mother. But don't cry yet." Elliot compromised.

Layla stopped crying immediately and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Elliot went back to his room to get his phone.

Layla got out of bed quickly and followed him.

When Elliot arrived at the door of the master bedroom, Elliot heard a 'bang' behind him. He immediately turned around and saw Layla fell to the ground.

"Layla!" The blood in his body boiled violently.

He quickly picked up his daughter. Her hot body temperature seemed to burn at any moment.

He carried his daughter back to the room, called ambulance with his mobile phone, and then carried his daughter downstairs.

The ambulance came quickly.

After Elliot took his daughter to the ambulance, he turned on his mobile phone, found Avery's number, and dialed it.

His mental defenses collapsed. He wants custody of the child, the main purpose is to prevent Avery from leaving. But Avery would rather give up the custody of the child and leave now, he seems very passive.

Besides, Elliot didn't want to see his daughter in such pain. If his daughter is really on a hunger strike and is clamoring to go to Avery's side, he can only let go.

——Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.

Elliot listened to the cold system prompt sound, and his mind went blank.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1694

Elliot calculated by time, Avery has now arrived in Bridgedale.

--Why is her phone still not working?

--Shut it down, or block him?

"Mom…" On the stretcher, Layla burned in a daze, muttering in a low voice, "Mom brother…don't go…don't leave me…woo woo…"

Elliot looked at his daughter's painful little face and whispered, and tightened his fingers on the phone.

--Why is Avery so cruel?

--She was just cruel to him, how could she be so cruel to the child?

--Does she plan to cut the child off?

--She suddenly became so unfamiliar to him!

--He couldn't help but wonder, did he really make a big mistake?

Elliot dialed Avery's number again, and got the same response just now.

It seemed that she didn't plan to contact them again.

When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Layla was pushed out of the car and had her temperature taken.

At home, her body temperature did not exceed 38.5 degrees but now, her temperature has exceeded 40 degrees!

The doctor immediately prescribed Layla's fever-reducing medication.

Elliot went to buy medicine for Layla to take, and then the doctor handed him two lists.

"Go get the medicine, infusion."

The bodyguard took the order and went to pay the bill.

Elliot took Layla into his arms.

Layla's body was shaking, sweat was all over her forehead.

She was like a fireball, blazing brightly.

After the bodyguard brought the medicine and the nurse gave Layla an injection, Elliot's tense heart relaxed.

This was the first time in his memory that Layla had a high fever.

Before Avery was there, the child was by her side, and she was well taken care of. Even if there was a minor illness or pain, she could help the child heal without going to the hospital.

Now as soon as Avery left, the child was sick, as if it was God's punishment for Elliot.

After about half an hour, Layla started to sweat like crazy.

Her hair was wet and her clothes were soaking wet.

Elliot went out in a hurry and did not bring clean clothes and tissues for the child.

After a while, Layla's fever subsided, and she was a little cold from sweating too much.

It's four in the morning.

Elliot asked the bodyguard to buy tissues and water nearby.

After Layla's fever subsided, she fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

Although the daughter is not noisy now, her brows are still wrinkled.

Elliot was very afraid, if his daughter woke up and found that he had not contacted Avery, and found that she still had to stay by his side, would she continue to make trouble.

--Can her body stand up to such a commotion?

Elliot held his daughter in one hand, opened his mobile phone with the other, and sent Avery a message: Avery, Layla has a fever. Just took a temperature of 40.5 degrees. I didn't take good care of her. Maybe she's following you. She already has her own thoughts and opinions, and she needs you and Hayden. Avery, can you not be so cruel for the sake of the child? D*mn me, but the child is innocent. You said before that you will raise the children with me."

After sending the message, he knew Avery would not reply, but he still turned on his phone from time to time to see if there were any new messages.

Before Elliot knew Avery, he had never been so humble. But now, doing such a thing, he doesn't feel unaccustomed at all.

Because he and Avery have known each other for all these years, he has confessed, repented, apologized, and begged her to forgive her more than once.

Sometimes Elliot begs Avery, she will be soft-hearted, sometimes she won't.

He had a very strong premonition in his heart that Avery would ignore him this time and would not come back. Even, the two of them will never meet again in the future.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1695

After Layla's general check-up was finished, the doctor prescribed some medicine to eat.

When they got home, it was 4:40 in the morning.

The door of the villa was open, and the lights in the living room were bright as day.

After Mrs. Cooper coaxed Robert to sleep, she kept waiting in the living room.

Seeing Elliot coming back with Layla in his arms, Mrs. Cooper immediately greeted him.

"Layla's fever has subsided. I need to wipe her body and change her clothes." Elliot hugged Layla and went back to the room.

Mrs. Cooper replied, "Sir, go back to your room to rest. I'll take care of Layla. Otherwise, when Layla wakes up and sees you, she might cry again."

Elliot looked at his daughter's pale and haggard sleeping face, murmured in a hoarse voice: "Should I not want Layla's custody?"

"You like Layla, and if Layla lives by your side, you will definitely treat her very well. She is not used to it now, so she will get used to it. That's good. But it will take some time to adjust." Mrs. Cooper said, "When Robert is older and can play with her, she will feel more attributable."

"But if my daughter keeps crying like this, I will definitely suffer. No." After what happened tonight, Elliot was exhausted, and his inner persistence was completely destroyed.

If he can contact Avery now, he may send Layla directly to Avery.

It's a pity that Avery's phone can't get through, and sending messages is also in vain.

In fact, he can call Mike and let Mike convey his meaning, but he is unwilling to do so.

This is a matter between him and Avery. If Avery keeps avoiding him, he will not contact her through others.

Elliot wanted to see how hard her heart was!

"Sir, why don't you go back to your place for a few days first! You can meet again when Layla's mood calms down a little." Mrs. Cooper suggested.

Elliot hesitated again and again, and said, "We'll see how Layla is doing in the morning."

Mrs. Cooper: "Okay. You go to rest first."

Putting Layla on the bed, Elliot came out of the room and returned to the master bedroom. He kept his eyes open until dawn. He tried to close his eyes and force himself to sleep, but he had a splitting headache and couldn't sleep.

There was clearly Avery's breath in the room. He couldn't sleep, so he got out of bed and opened the closet.

Her clothes, bags, shoes, and all kinds of jewelry were still there.

Except for her people gone, she didn't move anything else at all. It's as if she's just going on a trip, not saying goodbye.

If it weren't for the intense heartache reminding him that she was gone, he would really suspect that everything was a nightmare.

At 6:30 in the morning, he went to the bathroom to wash up.

After a little sober, he picked up the phone and turned it on.

Avery didn't call him back or reply to his messages.

He read the message he sent last night in his mind.

….

Bridgedale.

Ten hours after Avery's operation, she couldn't sleep because of the pain.

Mike stayed by the bedside the whole time. It was really painful to see her tossing and turning, so she made up her own mind and asked the nurse to add painkillers to her anti-inflammatory medicine.

When the painkillers entered her body, the pain sensation quickly subsided.

She suddenly felt light, and drowsiness followed. After she breathed evenly, Mike breathed a sigh of relief.

MIke was going to rest for a while in the escort bed next to him.

At this moment, the phone she put on the cabinet rang.

Mike picked up her phone and saw a system alert: The phone battery is low.

He took out his charger and charged her phone.

Out of curiosity, he turned off her phone's airplane mode. Suddenly, Elliot's missed calls and messages came out.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1696

Mike read the text message he sent several times, but didn't understand what he meant.

Does he want to give Layla's custody to Avery, or does he want Avery to go back and live with him again?

What he meant between the lines was ambiguous and puzzling.

Mike lay down on the escort bed holding Avery's mobile phone. After hesitating for a while, he texted him back: [Are you willing to give me the custody of Layla?]

After the message was sent, Mike kept an eye on his phone, waiting for a reply.

If Elliot is willing to give Layla's custody to Avery, Mike can promise not to scold him in the future.

About ten minutes later, Elliot's message came back: [your daughter is ill, you don't care about her current situation at all, you only care about her custody.}

Seeing this reply, Mike was so angry that blood rushed to his head, and his fingers quickly typed on the screen: [Whose fault is Layla being sick? It's you! You didn't take good care of her, what right do you have to accuse me?]

After typing this string of text, Mike took a deep breath and pressed the send button.

If Avery hadn't seen things now, he wouldn't have dared to impersonate her with her mobile phone.

Elliot saw 'her' reply and was heartbroken.

He wanted to have a good talk with her, but she didn't mean it.

Still, he wanted to have a good chat with her about Layla.

He was afraid that she would not answer the phone, so he sent her a message: [Let's talk on the phone about Layla!]

When Elliot edited the text message and was about to send it, Mike yawned sleepily. Because he didn't receive his reply immediately, Mike turned off Avery's phone.

Before Avery's eyes returned to light, she couldn't use her mobile phone.

The doctor said she was going to recuperate, so her phone didn't need to be turned on.

Elliot sent the text message, and after about two minutes, he dialed her number.

——Sorry, the user you dialed has been turned off, please try again later.

His face suddenly turned ashen!

He had made it so clear in the text message that he called her for Layla's business, but not only did she not reply to his messages, she even turned off the phone to avoid his calls.

Avery almost said: don't bother me!

Although she didn't say this, her actions deeply hurt him.

Layla slept until noon and woke up.

After she woke up, Mrs. Cooper immediately poured medicine for her to drink.

Layla sat on the bed and looked around.

Seeing herself in the room, she remembered the scene when her mother and brother left.

"Layla, do you remember your high fever at night?" Mrs. Cooper saw that Layla was a little confused, so she said, "Your fever reached 40 degrees, and your father took you to the hospital. You still have needles."

Layla was not impressed. All she knew was that she was powerless and uncomfortable.

"He promised to take me to my mother's place." Layla vaguely remembered that her father had agreed to her request.

"You drink the medicine first, your father is resting. When you finish the medicine, I will call him." Mrs. Cooper said calmly, "Layla, no matter where you live in the future, I hope you are healthy. How uncomfortable it is to be sick. Not only you are suffering, but your parents are also suffering."

"I have been living with my mother and brother since I was born, and I can't be separated from them." Layla opened her bright apricot eyes and said seriously.

Mrs. Cooper frowned, "Well, tell your father well, don't quarrel with him. You don't know how sad he was when you said you didn't want him last night. It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong about their affairs. You'll know when you're older."

Layla finished drinking the medicine, and Mrs. Cooper went out with an empty bowl.

After a while, Elliot entered the room. He closed the door and walked over to Layla's bed, looking at his daughter's weak face.

"Layla, I called your mother, but she didn't answer." Elliot explained the matter to his daughter truthfully, "I sent her a message, but she replied."

Layla looked at him intently.

"I told her, let's talk about you on the phone, but she turned off her phone again."

In order to make her daughter believe what she said, Elliot handed the phone to Layla.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1697

Layla took his mobile phone, opened it skillfully, and saw the messages they exchanged.

"Layla, your mother refuses to talk to me now, including about you."

When Elliot said this, Layla's finger dialed Avery's number.

In an instant, an icy system prompt sounded.

"Mom doesn't answer your call, she will definitely answer my call!" Layla returned his mobile phone to him, then found her own and dialed Avery.

she listened same system prompt tone.

Layla burst into tears.

Elliot took her into his arms: "Layla, don't cry. Dad will take good care of you and your brother. Dad will work harder to be a good dad."

Layla instinctively wanted to push him away, but she knew clearly that now There is no one else to rely on except her father.

So she didn't exert much effort.

The summer vacation has not yet started, although Layla is sad, but staying at home makes it easier for her to think wildly.

So she went back to school after a day off at home.

As for Robert, the departure of Avery and Hayden did not have much impact on the little guy's life.

As long as there is an acquaintance around to take care of him, he can live in peace.

After all, there are some food, some drink, and some people to play with every day, that's enough.

After Layla went to school, Elliot took a day off at home.

After regaining some energy, he reconsidered his thoughts in his heart.

Avery and Hayden left. Probably won't come back in the future.

Layla and Robert stayed by Elliot side. According to the current situation, as long as Avery didn't take the initiative to come to Layla, Layla should be able to live by his side with peace of mind.

As long as he completely crossed out Avery's name in his heart, his life could get back on track.

It's just that some things are easier said than done.

In order to match the living habits of Layla and Robert, he now accompanies the children to live in the Starry River Villa.

And this is Avery's villa.

In this house, there is Avery's shadow inside and out.

No matter what Elliot does here, he can always think of Avery's face.

After coming out of the villa, Elliot went to the Third Hospital.

He feels like he hasn't visited Shea's child for a while, and he doesn't know how that little guy is doing now.

In the laboratory, Wesley and Shea were both there.

Seeing Elliot coming over, the two of them were a little surprised.

"Brother." Shea walked to Elliot and pulled his arm.

After he and Avery divorced, Shea wanted to see him very much, but Wesley told her not to go.

Wesley was afraid that if she went, not only would she not be able to help, but instead it would make the chaotic home more and more chaotic.

"Well, how is the child?" Elliot asked Wesley.

"Everything is normal now." Wesley replied.

Elliot: "That's good."

"Is Layla okay?" Wesley asked, "You can send her to our house and let Shea stay with her for a few days."

Elliot: "I'll ask her on the weekend."

Wesley: "Well."

"Wesley, Avery stayed in the hospital until she left. You two meet every day. Did she tell you anything?" Elliot asked unwillingly.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1698

Wesley looked at his face, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "She asked me to take care of Shea."

Elliot: "Besides that, did she say anything else? Did she say anything about me?"

"No." Wesley's answer made Elliot cut off all thoughts.

After Elliot left, Shea looked at Wesley and stared at his face.

"You have a bad attitude towards my brother." Shea expressed her feelings.

Wesley was usually a gentleman and polite, but he was a little cold to Elliot just now.

Wesley didn't argue: "Elliot obviously knows everything. If it wasn't for him who hurt Avery's feelings, how could Avery divorce him? He can't find Haze now, and wants to make up for Avery, it's too late."

Shea: "There's something wrong with my brother, Avery can blame him, but don't say that about him. He's one of the best people in the world to me."

"Well, I'll pay attention to my attitude next time." Wesley said.

Bridgedale.

After Avery stayed in the ward for three days, he really couldn't stay, so she asked Mike to help her out of the ward and walk outside.

She was getting used to seeing nothing now, and she had gradually overcome that fear.

"The sun is so good."

After Mike helped her downstairs, she was bathed in the sun and stretched out a hand, as if she could hold the warmth in her palm.

"I can take you out for a walk every day. When the sun is out, let's bask in the sun. When it's raining, we can walk in the rain." Mike looked at the smile on her mouth and spoke to her.

Avery: "Forget it if it rains."

Mike: "When it rains lightly!"

"Um… Mike, is Hayden still getting used to school? Have you contacted Layla? How is Layla? Where's Robert?" Avery hasn't contacted her children these days.

She also wanted to contact the child, but after the operation, her eyes were sore, and she used to contact her child through video call every time.

She looks like this now, and doesn't know how to communicate with the child through video call.

"Hayden is okay. As for Layla, I plan to contact Layla when you are discharged from the hospital." Mike explained the reason, "I'm afraid that Layla will get emotional and you will feel uneasy. Avery, put the child aside for now, you should take good care of your illness first. When you are healed, you can do everything you want to do."

Avery gritted her teeth silently, swallowing all her thoughts and reluctance.

"By the way, there is something I want to ask you," Mike took her to a stone bench to sit down and rest in the shade. "What do you plan to do with your domestic company? When you divorced Elliot, you talked about it. Do you have this problem?"

Avery: "No. What Elliot and I care about most is child custody. In terms of property, I am mine and he is his."

Mike asked, "Oh, then do you want to transfer your equity? If you don't quit, you and Elliot will inevitably have the possibility of entanglement again in the future."

Avery hadn't thought about this issue. But this was indeed a problem.

Now that Mike mentioned it, she started to think.

"I'll quit!" After thinking for a while, Avery said, "My equity is given to him. Treat it as child support."

Mike couldn't help laughing: "Yes! But if Elliot heard you say that, he would definitely pissed."

"I don't care what Elliot thinks." Avery looked cold, "I used to care about the Tate Industries, and I thought that by defending the company, I was defending the Tate family in my heart. So he thought that if he controlled my company, he could control me. In fact, when you're really frustrated, you can give up anything."

Mike comforted her, "It's okay, without the Tate Industries, you still have an Technology. Without Layla and Robert, you still have Hayden and me. And, you will not lose Layla. When Layla becomes an adult, she can choose to come back to you."

The next day.

Shaun Locklyn, the vice president of Tate Industries came to Sterling Group to find Elliot.

Elliot saw him.

"Vice President Locklyn, what's the matter?"

"Well," Shaun looked complicated, took out a document and handed it to Elliot, "Avery asked me to hand it over to you. I just found out about your divorce."

Elliot raised his eyebrows and took the document. he glanced briefly at the contents of the document.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1699

Avery voluntarily gave up 30% of the Tate Industries's equity.

Mike voluntarily gave up 15% of Tate Industries's equity.

The equity they voluntarily gave up was disposed of at will by Elliot.

…

He picked up the pen and signed his name under the document.

"Aren't you going to call Ms. Tate to confirm?" Shaun did not expect him to sign so neatly.

"She doesn't answer my call." Elliot put the pen back in the pen holder, "Does she have anything else to tell you?"

Shaun shook his head: "No more."

"Did she call you or Mike? What did you say on the phone?" Elliot looked at Shaun with deep meaning, "After I divorced her, I can't get through to her again."

Shaun was embarrassed: "She called me and told me."

"So She doesn't want to answer my call because she doesn't want to. Also, after divorce, there is no need to keep in touch." Elliot laughed at himself, "Not only does she not want the company, but she also doesn't want children."

Shaun was shocked: "Avery is not like this kind of lady."

Elliot: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Shaun shook his head sharply: "I watched Avery grow up, she has always been very well-behaved and sensible…"

Elliot: "She completely changed now. "

Shaun nodded, not daring to speak for Avery again.

When he came out of the office, Shaun met Chad, who was reporting his work.

When Chad saw Vice President Locklyn, he immediately chatted: "What's the matter with you coming here?"

Shaun told him in a low voice that Avery and Mike gave up their shareholdings in the Tate Industries.

"Is it so outrageous?" Chad couldn't believe the news.

Because the Tate Industries has always been a very important existence to Avery.

The company was founded by Jack Tate. For Avery, it is not so important that the company earns more and less. Its existence is the greatest significance.

"I don't think Mr. Foster's face is very good. If you don't want to cause trouble, then you can go in later." Shaun reminded in a low voice, and then strode away.

Chad took a deep breath and returned to his office. He took out his mobile phone, found Mike's number, and dialed--

--The user you dialed is busy, please try again later.

Chad gritted his teeth.

--Is the mic turned off, or is there something else set up?

Now they don't want the company, and they don't care about Layla and Robert, what do they want?

Chad couldn't get in touch with Mike, and his mind instantly became a mess, and his fingers were clicked randomly on the phone screen.

Suddenly, he clicked on the location.

He had previously opened GPS location sharing with Mike.

He can see the real-time location of Mike's phone, and Mike can see the real-time location of his phone.

When he saw Mike's cell phone signal, he almost didn't think about it, and immediately clicked in!

He kept zooming in on where Mike was.

Finally, the name of a hospital appeared before his eyes.

• Aprilia Hospital.

This hospital is a relatively well-known private hospital in Bridgedale.

His mobile phone showed that Mike's location in the past few days was in this hospital!

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1700

Why is Mike always in the hospital?

Who is sick?

Chad took a screenshot of the location and sent it to Mike, and then sent a string of question marks.

About half an hour later, Mike turned off the positioning and called Chad at the same time.

"I'm sleeping! The phone was set to Do Not Disturb at night just now." Mike said, yawning.

Chad asked, "You're in the hospital? Who's sick? It's impossible that you're sick, right? Could it be that Avery is sick?"

Mike sneered: "Did Elliot tell you nothing?"

"What are you? What do you mean? What did my boss say to me?" Chad was at a loss.

"Also, he probably wouldn't be embarrassed to tell outsiders about such a shameful thing." Mike teased, "Whether Avery is sick or I am sick, so what? Will Elliot come to see Avery? Will you come to see me? Neither of you! So what do you have to ask?"

Chad was speechless.

Mike continued, "Avery has given up everything in the country, please let us be quiet. It's very late, I continue to sleep."

Chad: "Oh… you sleep! But can you not Off location?"

"It's already closed." Mike said, "When you resign and come to me, I'll turn it on again."

Chad snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

3 days later.

Avery removed the gauze from her eyes.

Although the gauze was removed, the world in front of him was still unknown.

"Avery, how do you feel?" Mike asked her looking into her eyes.

"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Avery felt the world with her heart, "There is a red light in front of her."

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt. I'll take you for an examination."

"Well." Mike supported Avery and walked out of the ward.

After the doctor checked Avery, he said to her, "The recovery is okay. But it will take a while for the wound to recover properly before corneal transplantation."

Mike couldn't wait to ask the doctor: "Find a suitable one. Do you have the cornea?"

The doctor shook his head: "Not yet. But you don't have to worry…"

"How can I not worry? Why can't you find a suitable cornea?" Mike burned his eyebrows and his tone became anxious.

Because Avery told him that there are no blood vessels in the cornea, so there is no need to match.

As long as the cornea donor is within the appropriate age range and the cornea is healthy, it can be transplanted.

"The laws of our Bridgedale do not allow the illegal acquisition of other people's corneas. Only corneas donated voluntarily by others can we use them for transplantation to patients in need and those who donated corneas voluntarily. There are actually very few people. And there are a lot of patients waiting for corneal transplants… So corneas are basically in short supply. The doctor explained to Mike patiently.

"What do you mean? Are you planning to arrange a team? This will be in the year of the monkey and the horse month?" Mike asked.

"Avery has a special status and is a rare talent in the medical field. The dean speaks in person, and she must be given priority. As long as there is a healthy cornea, I will keep it for Avery immediately." The doctor promised Mike, "This point Don't worry!"

Mike breathed a sigh of relief: "What if no one donates?"

The doctor said, "If there is no local donation, we can contact a hospital in another place. It is impossible that the whole Bridgedale does not have one."

"In the end, if there is none, Then use mine." Mike sighed and decided.

Avery was very calm, and after listening to Mike's words, his fingers tightly clasped him: "don't talk nonsense. Even if I'm blind for the rest of my life, I won't use your cornea. Well, let's go back!"

….

Aryadelle.
