Ch. 621..630
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 621
Hayden hung up. Mike wanted to laugh but he saw Layla’s lost yet adorable look. He suppressed his urge to laugh.
When they returned home, Avery held onto Layla’s hand. Before she could say what she wanted to say, Layla took action first.
“Mommy, do you think I’m cute?”
“You are cute! You’re the cutest kid in the entire46 world.”
“Then, when I become a big star, I’ll give you all the money I earn, okay? I told Hayden I’ll give him half just now, but he doesn’t want it.” Layla’s eyes sparkled spiritedly.
Avery’s mind blanked34 instantly.
It looked like she could not get through to Layla, she could only look for Eric and talk with him. Avery sent a message expressing her disagreement with Layla to join the entertainment industry.
Half an hour later, Eric replied, (Layla might be young, but we should respect her choice. The entertainment industry is not as scary as you think. I will protect her. I’ll make sure she won’t get hurt. Please trusted me.)
Avery failed to talk to him either. She was deep in thoughts. If she were to respect Layla’s decision and continue to let Layla work in the entertainment industry, Elliot would surely be mad. Avery did not want to fight with him, but neither did she not want to force her daughter to obey her just because of him.
After thinking it through, Avery fell deeplyge asleep.
A week later, because the Tate Industries’ drones were at an irreplaceable position in Aryadelle, a few leaders came to inspect that day.
Avery received the notice three days ago. Initially, it was agreed that the vice president would accompany them touring around the company because her tummy was huge, and it was hard for her to move around. However, the vice president had a high fever that day because he was too23 nervous.
Avery had to do it herself in the end. She made up lightly and tied her hair up. She wore a light blue long-sleeved dress. It was elegant and proper.
The leaders were arriving at ten in the morning. She waited for them on the ground floor at half-past nine.
Ten minutes later, a red BNW stopped at the entrance of the office. Avery saw Zoe coming out of the car. She was a little surprised.
Ever since the last time she got Zoe to spit out the 300 million dollars, they have never contacted each other ever since. There was no need to contact each other, so she could not understand Zoe’s reason for coming over.
Zoe did not expect that Avery was right in the lobby, so before she was in front of Avery, she said loudly, “Avery Tate! Come out!”
Avery subconsciously headed outside. The secretary reminded, “Miss Tate. They’ll be here in twenty minutes.”
Avery said, “I’ll be back soon.”
She walked over to Zoe.
“Avery, you have already taken Elliot away! Why do you have to take Cole away too! I’m pregnant with his child! I have already planned to spend the rest of my life with him! Why won’t you let me go! Do you want me to die then only you’ll be happy?!”
Zoe said with reddened eyes. Before Avery could react, she reached out and grabbed Avery’s hair.
Avery reflexively reached out to defend. “Zoe, what nonsense are you talking about! Cole and I have long cut ties! Why would I want him!”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 622
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 622
If Zoe did not mention Cole’s name, Avery would have almost forgotten that this man exists!
After the split-up six years ago, Avery was completely disheartened by this man. Ever since she fell in love with Elliot, she had no eyes for any other man, so how could she possibly snatch Cole away as Zoe said?
It was comical and absurd!
The bodyguard nearby saw Zoe attacking Avery. He quickly ran over and kicked Zoe in the46 waist!
Zoe was in pain, and she let go of Avery’s hands. She fell to the side on the ground.
“I’m pregnant! How dare you kick me! If my child dies, I’ll kill you to accompany it!” Zoe lay on the ground34 crying.
The surrounding guards and secretary immediately ran over. Avery’s secretary looked at Avery’s messy hair. She immediately helped Avery. “Miss Tate, are you alright? Let me get you in. I’ll help you tidy up your hair.”
Avery looked at Zoe on the ground with reddenedcd eyes.
“Miss Tate, how should I deal with this crazy woman?” The guards asked.
Avery said sternly, “Move her and her car away! Do not let her leave! i’ll settle this with herge later!”
A guard picked Zoe up while another found the keys to the car in her bag. Soon, the red BNW and Zoe vanished before her sight.
Avery’s scalp hurt. When the secretary was combing her hair, she did it as light as she could, but Avery was still in pain and her eyes were23 wet.
How angry must Zoe have been to use such strength? This would not have happened without reason. Zoe must have seen her and Cole being together, which was why she came to make a scene. However, Avery did not even meet Cole before. There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.
“Miss Tate, your scalp is hurt. Let’s not comb it anymore, we’ll just put your hair down!” Her secretary saw how much in pain Avery was. She could not bear to comb her hair anymore.
“I’ll comb it myself.” Avery took over the comb from the secretary and simply combed it into a ponytail. “Don’t spread the word about what happened just now.”
The secretary nodded. “Okay, I’ll go tell the guards.”
At noon, the vice president’s fever dropped so he rushed over to the office.
“Miss Tate, is everything alright?” The vice president looked guilty.
Avery responded. “Is your fever gone? Why don’t you rest more at home?”
“I’m much better. Perhaps I was feeling too stressed in the morning. I’m afraid that I might say something wrong and embarrass the company,” The vice president said remorsefully.
Avery comforted, “It’s over. We still have a celebration tonight. I’ll still need you to host.”
“Hmm! Miss Tate, go back and rest! We’ll see each other tonight!” The vice president said.
Avery nodded and came out of her office.
Zoe and her red BNW were moved to the parking lot behind the office. The guard has been staying in the car, not letting Zoe get out.
Avery walked to the side of the BNW and the guard immediately got out.
“Miss Tate, this woman kept saying that you seduced her man,” The guard said, “I think she’s delirious. Maybe a mental condition or something.”
Avery said, “I’ll talk to her.”
The guard said, “Why don’t you stand outside and talk to her. I’m afraid that she might act up again. It’ll be bad if she hurts you again.”
Avery nodded. Zoe wound the window down and looked at her angrily, “Avery, you shameless woman!”

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 623
“Zoe, you said that I snatched Cole away from you. Did you see me with him?” Avery stood by the side of the car and questioned Zoe, “Call Cole out now! We’ll ask him!”
“No! If he knows that I came to look for you, he’ll break up with me!” Zoe said painfully, “I saw the photo of you two at the nightclub! He already admits it, yet you still dare to deny it!”
“Night club? I have never been to a place like that! Either he is lying, or he mistook me for someone else!” Avery enunciated, “There’s a woman who looks like me called Nora. You better check properly and see whether that woman in the photo is called Nora!”
“But Cole said that it’s you!” Zoe did not believe Avery’s words, after all, they had a grudge against each other long46 ago.
“Then, you can just continue hating me!” Avery calmly replied, “Don’t come looking for me again for your stupid affairs between you and Cole. If not, the next time, I’ll get the guards to kick you out.”
Zoe clutched her waist which still hurt a little. She sobbed hoarsely, “If the child in me dies, I won’t let you give birth to yours 34 either!”
Avery said, “Then, we’ll have to see whether you have this ability to do so or not.”
Avery strodecd away.
At the Sterling Group’s President’s office.
On his computer screen, a news notification suddenly popped up. The headlines stated that a certain leader visited the Tate Industries thatge day.
Beneath the headline was a small photo. A blue figure attracted Elliot’s notice. He clicked into the news and saw the photo enlarged.
Avery was wearing a light-blue loose dress that day. She smiled gently and elegantly. Although she has a baby bump, she still looked 23 sprightly.
Ben pushed open Elliot’s door to call him for lunch.
“Do you have anything going on tonight?” Ben knocked on Elliot’s desk. “What are you looking at so engrossed in?”
Elliot shut off the webpage and got up from the chair. “Are you organizing?”
“I usually organize but I don’t see you joining much either,” Ben teased, “I’m planning to head over to Avery’s for a free meal. Chad and I have agreed to it. Are you going? They are having an event tonight.”
“Not going.” Elliot refused without thinking.
“You’re always like this. You say you won’t go but you’ll be there quicker than anyone else.” Ben sighed. “You should just say it directly! Even if you don’t miss Avery, won’t you miss the child in her tummy? I saw the photo in the news today. Her tummy grew bigger again.”
Elliot pursed his lips. He did not say anything.
“Elliot, has she returned the bank card that you gave her a few days ago?” Ben went in closer to Elliot’s ears and asked pryingly.
Elliot said, “She didn’t contact me.”
“Oh, that means she hasn’t returned it yet. You gave her so much money. It’s not too much for us to go get a free meal.” Ben hesitated for a while before continuing, “Don’t get too close to Nora in the future. If Avery is angry, that means that she’s jealous. If she’s jealous, that means she still cares for you.”
“When she is with other men, I don’t see her caring about my feelings,” Elliot said with a
sneer.
“She’s a pregnant woman now. Don’t be so petty with her.”
At night, at the event.
There was a crowd at the banquet hall. It was mostly the staff of the company. Avery and Tammy were sitting by the corner eating and chatting, so no one noticed that Elliot and his group entered.
After they entered, Chad was pulled away by Mike to go drinking. Ben started chatting with a few higher-ups of Tate Industries.
No one dared to talk to Elliot, so he could only find a spot to sit down and drink in silence.
A few of the women at the table in front of him were chatting secretly among themselves.
“The woman seems to be pregnant too! I saw her pulling Miss Tate’s hair! She was vicious! I initially wanted to rush over to help Miss Tate, but her bodyguard was one step ahead, he kicked the woman to the ground!”
“What? This happened? Who is that woman? How bold of her!”
“I don’t know! I didn’t see her face! Miss Tate does not want this to spread out. Don’t tell others.”
When Elliot heard this, anger instantly rose in his eyes!
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 624
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 624
Avery was still happily chatting with Tammy. She did not notice bim walking over to her.
“Avery, are you nervous? You’ll be giving birth soon.” Tammy stirred the cup of juice in her hand with the straw.
“I’m not nervous, but I really want it out. My tummy is getting big, it’s tiring.” Avery ate some dessert. She asked, “What about you?”
“The answer I gave my in-laws was next year. I’ll drag it until next year. I haven’t had enough fun46 yet!”
“Having kids won’t stop you from having fun.”
“I’m sure it will affect it somehow. I still like kids. Once I have one of my own, I won’t be able to be stern enough to discipline34 them.”
“You can take your kids around and play with them! Having kids will make things even more interesting. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Hmm! You gave me a lot of courage. Whether it’s caring for your kids or working. You’re not afraid at all,” Tammy said enviously, “If I was a man, I would fall in love withcd you.”
Avery chuckled lightly. “If you were a man, i’d marry you! Haha!”
Tammy laughed together with Avery when suddenly Elliot appeared within her sight. Tammy’s laugh instantly vanished. She cleared her throat twice. “Why is hege here?”
Avery looked in the direction in which Tammy was looking. When she saw Elliot, the smile on her face vanished too.
“You didn’t invite him, right?” Tammy asked23 softly.
“No,” Avery replied in a low voice.
“Oh…do I need to avoid him?” Tammy asked in whispers.
Avery replied, “No need.”
At that moment, Elliot was already by their side, so he heard their conversation clearly.
He did not say anything. He merely looked at Avery’s head with his cold gaze.
Avery felt her scalp exploding with pain. She immediately got up from her chair and pulled him away.
“Who bullied you this morning?” Coming out of the hall, Elliot said, “If I did not accidentally know about this, you would never think of telling me.”
“It’s a small matter. It’s not worth mentioning.” Avery brushed it off and looked at him.
A week before, he stood in front of her house under the sun for an entire day, causing his skin some damage. His skin was darker by a shade. It also looked dry and flaky.
“Why are you looking at me?” Elliot’s eyes moved. He looked a little uncomfortable.
“Do you have facial masks at home? Your face needs moisturizing,” Avery reminded him,” Next time, don’t spend too long under the sun, if not, you’ll get a sunburn. Don’t underestimate the UV rays of the summer sun. If the sunburn is serious, you might need to go to the hospital.”
Elliot ignored her words. His long slender finger pried her hair apart. He saw her reddened scalp.
Avery gasped in pain and pushed his hand away.
“Who pulled your hair! Tell me!” Elliot asked sternly.
“It’s in the past. There’s no need to mention it.” Avery changed the subject to divert his attention. “Layla’s dream right now is to be a celebrity. She likes to perform in front of the camera, so I can’t force her to leave the entertainment industry.”
This topic easily diverted Elliot’s attention.
“Have you ignored me again!” Elliot was extremely dissatisfied with her parenting skills.
“Elliot, I know what you’re worried about, but children need to be respected too. If you have a better way of getting Layla to change her mind, I won’t stop you.” Avery did not want to fight with him, so her tone was gentle. “I’ll keep the card that you gave me. When you fall in love with another person, I’ll return it to you.”
Elliot smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly. “I don’t think you’ll see that day.”
“Don’t be so sure.” Avery walked toward the lift. Elliot followed behind her.
He thought that she wanted to go home. Turns out, coming out of the hotel, she headed to the pharmacy next door.
He thought that she was going to buy anti-inflammatory medication to put on her damaged scalp, but she bought two medically used facial masks instead. She paid and passed the masks to him.
“Take this home and use it.”
“Do you think my face is the one that’s hurt?” Elliot did not accept the bag. He left out the following sentence, but Avery understood what he meant.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 625
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 625
Avery forcefully stuffed her bag in Elliot’s hands. “Elliot, the child just moved in my tummy. Every word you say to him right now he can hear it.
Elliot looked at her in a daze as if he had just been electrocuted.
“Can I touch your tummy?” He asked hoarsely.
“It’s not moving right now. He is still quite small right now, and doesn’t move quite a46 lot.”
This was her second pregnancy. It was different from her first time. The first time, because she was afraid to let him know, so every reaction during her pregnancy term, she secretly bore it on her own. Fear was much more overpowering than the joy of being a mother.
However, during the pregnancy this time, she could thoroughly enjoy the entire34 process.
Elliot put his large palms on her tummy. The warmth in her hand spread over to Avery. Her body suddenly tensed up.
Perhaps the child in her sensed her nervous feelings, so he kicked hercd tummy!
“He moved again!” Avery could not help but exclaim.
“I felt it!” Elliot’s emotions were affected by her too. Instantly, all the darkness in him vanished, replaced by light. “Does itge hurt?”
“No. He isn’t that strong right now.”
“Hmm. Are you hungry? I’ll get you something.” At that moment, the excitement burning in his heart has put the grudge he had against her aside. He only wanted to treat her23 well.
“I’m not hungry. If you’re hungry, let’s return to the hotel!” Avery said.
“Okay.” Elliot helped her along and returned to the hotel. Avery did not expect that they would stop fighting because of the baby kicking inside her. It was as strange as when they both started fighting for whatever reason.
At the old Foster mansion, Zoe called Cole into the room and closed the door.
“Cole, you said that you have reconciled with Avery. Do you treat me as a fool? You’re so afraid of your uncle, will you dare do anything with her? Don’t you know how big her tummy is right now?” Zoe mocked, “Your affair with her right now, what are you doing that for? For excitement?”
Cole condescendingly reproached Zoe. “Zoe, look at you right now. How undignified.”
“Heh. Do you know Nora?” Zoe looked at him and questioned, “The woman that you were hugging in the nightclub was Nora, right?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Zoe, don’t think that just because you’re pregnant with my child, I won’t dare to do anything to you!” Cole was losing patience. “If you can’t accept my relationship with her, just f*ck off!”.
“Haha! I’m going to tell Elliot! I’m going to look for him right now!” Zoe decided to fight till the end.
Cole immediately tugged her back and slapped her!
“Have you forgotten how Grandma died? Do you want me to call my uncle right now?” Cole threatened coldly, “We are on the same boat. If this boat capsizes, we’ll die together!”
Zoe clutched her burning cheek. She was utterly disappointed! Was this her retribution for doing bad things?
The next day, Zoe had a nightmare. In her nightmare, she had been tied up on all four limbs. She can’t move. Just when she opened her eyes, she saw a man in black with a sharp dagger.
The man was pressing onto her head with one hand while stabbing into her eye with the dagger and gouged her eyeballs out!
“Ah-!” Zoe screamed miserably!
This was not a dream! This was real! Both her eyeballs have been gouged out!
“Zoe, this is what you get! Hehe!” A familiar voice rang out.
Zoe exhaled in despair. Her body turned cold! It was Avery! It was Avery’s voice!
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 626
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 626
That vicious woman! How dare she gouged her eyeballs!
Zoe’s world was suddenly dark. She has become blind! She could no longer go out and work. Her life was completely ruined!
She was disappointed and only wanted to die. However, at that moment, she could not even see anything! Even death has become a luxury!
This matter was spread to Elliot that46 night.
Henry called him and explained the incident roughly. He had to tell Elliot because this has to do with Avery.
“Zoe’s situation is very unstable. When she’s asleep, she’s still fine but once she wakes up, she starts screaming. She keeps saying that Avery gouged her34 eyeballs…”
Elliot said firmly, “I pity her situation, but Avery would not do such a thing.”
“Yes, I don’t think Avery would be that cruel too, but I’m worried for Zoe. She is still pregnant with Cole’s child. Although the child is not affected right now, if her mental state continues like that, I’m afraid that it would affect the child.” Henry keptcd sighing.
“I’ll come over right now.” Elliot furrowed his brows tightly.
On the way to the hospital, he looked at his phone and searched for Avery’s contact. He wanted to call and ask her, but after a moment of hesitation, he did not press the callge button.
There was no way she could have done that, so he did not want to disturb her with this matter.
However, who else would have done23 it?
Zoe was now pregnant with Cole’s child. Her life was revolving around Cole. Logically speaking, she should not have offended anyone. Could it be Cole’s enemies?
The car arrived at the hospital, and he came to the inpatient unit. Before reaching Zoe’s war, she heard her agonizing shrill screams.
“I want to kill Avery! I’m going to kill her! She turned me blind! I will never let her go even if I become a ghost!
“Woo, woo, woo… I’m blind. I can’t seek revenge anymore. Let me die! Just let me die! I beg you all!
“Where’s my dad? Where is my dad? Have you called him already? Why is he not here yet? Does he not want me anymore? Even he despises me!”
Elliot stood outside the door listening to Zoe’s miserable wails. He had mixed feelings.
He pushed the door open and saw that Zoe’s eyes were wrapped in white bandages. She was sitting on the bed, trying to get down, but Cole stopped her.
“Elliot, you’re here,” Henry said.
Zoe heard what Henry said. Her body instantly stiffened. Then, she lost it. “Elliot! Elliot! Avery …Avery gouged my eyes! She made me so miserable!”
“Uncle, I didn’t want to disturb you, but Zoe’s condition right now, I really don’t know what I should do,” Cole said troublingly, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let Zoe see the photo of me and Avery in the past. Today only I found out that she went to look for Avery yesterday…”
Elliot suddenly remembered the incident the day before. The person that pulled Avery’s hair was Zoe!
Even if they fought yesterday, Avery would not have done such a cruel thing to Zoe! He still remembered what Avery said when he brought this matter up. She said it was a small matter and it was not worth mentioning.
If Avery was loathing Zoe at that time, her tone and expressions would not be so relaxed and natural.
“Please leave the room. I want to talk to Zoe privately,” Elliot said in a low voice.
Henry and Cole immediately left the room. Even the nurse looking after Zoe left. Only Elliot and Zoe were left in the room.
Zoe reached out both her hands, groping in mid-air. “Elliot…”
Elliot grabbed her hands. “I’m here. Zoe, why did you say it was Avery that did this to you? Did you see her do it?”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 627
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 627
Zoe shook her head. “I didn’t see it, because when I came to my senses, my eyes had already been gouged! It’s so painful I want to die! I heard Avery say that this is what I deserve. I heard it clearly! Elliot, I won’t lie to you! I already have nothing right now! I can’t lie to you!”
“Her voice?” Elliot was stunned. “Are you sure you didn’t mishear?”
“Impossible! I’m not mistaken, because I hate her too much!” Zoe gripped Elliot’s hands tightly as if she was holding onto a lifeboat. “Elliot, I won’t dare to lie to you! If I were to lie to you, you would be able to find out immediately! I beg you. I beg of you. We once had a relationship together, please have pity on me…”
Elliot looked at Zoe’s quivering lips and pale face. His heart was extremely46 heavy.
His instincts told him that Zoe was not lying, yet another voice in his mind kept reminding him that Avery would not do such a thing!
“Zoe, I’ll look into it, “Elliot promised, “But before we get to the bottom of it, rest more and
get well34 soon.”
Zoe shook her head. “No…I won’t live anymore. I’ll wait for my father to come, and I’ll return with him to Bridgedale. I will get my friend to help euthanize me. I can’t accept that I have turned into a blind person. Hehehe…” Zoe laughed amidst crying.
“No matter what you find out, it means nothing to me, because I truly heard Avery’s voice! She’s the murderer! There could not be any other outcomes!” Zoe choked up and said, “I’ll wait for her incd hell!”
Coming out of the hospital, it was already dark. It was drizzling too.
The bodyguard stood next to Elliot with ange umbrella.
After getting in the car, the bodyguard asked, “Mr. Foster, where to?”
Elliot’s jaw tightened. His voice was cold. “Starry River23 Villa.”
Zoe only hoped for death at that moment. She did not even want the child in her anymore. He had to look for Avery to ask if she was the one that did it.
It was best if it was not her. If it was her, why did she have to be so cruel?
At the Starry River Villa, Avery was lying in bed, flipping through a medical book.
The children were not home. Mike would only be back later that night. The entire house was strangely quiet.
The wind outside was howling, Avery closed the book distractedly and looked out of the window.
Looking at the rain pitter-pattering on her window, she immediately got out of bed and checked if the other windows in the villa had been properly shut.
When she was downstairs, a set of headlights shone through the window, which pierced her eyes.
Was Mike back already?
Avery walked to the door and opened it. A black Rolls-Roice entered her sight.
Why was Elliot there?
Avery opened the door, at the same time pressing the button that opens the gate in front of the courtyard.
Elliot got out of the car. He did not let his bodyguard shelter him with the umbrella. He strode over to her under the rain.
Looking at his darkened expressions under the streetlights, a bad feeling rose in her heart.
She did not know what had happened, she could not guess it either. Just when her mind was in a mess, Elliot was already in front of her.
“Why did you not use an umbrella?” Avery looked at his wet face and clothes. She asked worryingly, “What happened?”
“Zoe was the one that looked for you yesterday morning, right?” Elliot stood by the door. He did not change his shoes nor enter the house. His sharp gaze focused on Avery’s face.
Avery hated this look of his. “I’ve already said it’s a small matter…”
“Her eyes have been gouged. She said that you did it.” Elliot interrupted her. He said anxiously, “Avery, tell me. Did you do it?”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 628
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 628
Avery involuntarily took two steps backward.
Her eyes were instantly in a daze. She could not believe that such a thing could happen! She, even more, could not believe that this could be blamed on her! Just because she had a conflict with Zoe the day before, so she was the one that did it? How absurd!
“Avery!” Elliot looked at her retreating. His heart constricted tightly. “Answer my question!”
“Elliot, I hate you! I hate you again!” Avery yelled out louder than him, “Every time when I start feeling better about you, you will show me how despicable you46 are!”
Elliot looked at Avery flaring up. He stood in the same spot, dazed.
The raindrops kept hitting on his back. The coldness pierced into34 him.
However, his gaze at her was hot and burning. The mixture of ice and fire caused him to lose it. He strode toward her.
“You didn’t do it, right?” Elliot walked toward her and grabbed her thin shoulders tightly. Her voice was hoarse, “You are not this type of person. Avery, I know that you’re not this type of person! I’m asking you because I want to hear from you that it wasn’t you who dided it!”
“I didn’t do it!” Avery’s eyes were reddened. She said aggrievedly, “You shouldn’t have asked me this type of question!”
Things like gouging other people’s eyes, even just by saying it gives her the chills! She would never do such age thing!
“But she said that she heard your voice,” Elliot tried to explain, “She said that when they were gouging her eyes out, you were talking to her by the side.”
Avery sneered in her heart at such absurd lies, yet she heard his suspicion toward her in his23
tone.
Avery pushed his hands away. “Just because she is the victim, so you’ll believe whatever she says! I have never done such things! Even if she said I did, I didn’t do it!”
“Avery, I didn’t say that you did it…” Elliot swallowed his saliva. He tried to calm her down.
“Although you didn’t say it, your eyes and your tone are suspecting me of it!” Avery’s heart hurt. “You’re standing on her side, investigating me. I’ll only accept the police’s investigation!
“You would rather let the police investigate you instead of facing me?” Elliot looked at her reddened eyes and her aggrieved expression. He was instantly heartbroken, like someone slicing him piece by piece.
“Get out!” Avery strode over to him and pushed him toward the door. “If I am wrong, the law
will punish me! I don’t need you to insult me!”
The rain was pouring outside like rocks smashing to the ground.
When Elliot was pushed by her into the rain, he was afraid that Avery would be drenched by the rain too, so he pushed her slightly back inside.
They were both separated by the door frame.
He stood under the rain looking at her. The pouring rain soon drenched him completely. The only thing unchanged was his black eyes, stubbornly looking at her.
She was still angry. Even if he stood there under the rain for the entire night, it would not relieve her of her anger!
Avery shut the door with all her might and leaned against the door listlessly. All she could hear was the pitter-patter of the rain and the sound of her heart smashing to pieces.
A long time later, tears flowed from the corner of her eyes to the corner of her mouth. A booming thunder could be heard from outside!
She did not know if he was still outside the door at that moment. She quickly turned around and opened the door.
The instant she opened the door, he looked up.
She saw him wiping away the rain on his face with his huge palms. Then, his jet-black eyes were looking at her once again.
At that moment, even if thunder came down on her, even if the skies fell on her, it would not stop her from losing control of her steps! She strode into the rain and walked toward him!
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 629
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 629
Elliot was in a daze looking at Avery coming out. Before he could think of anything, his body already took a step toward her.
He picked her up in his arms and strode back indoors.
Although Avery had only been in the rain for a few seconds, her face was wet from the rain…or perhaps it was tears!
“Avery, I’m not suspecting you. You said you didn’t do it, that means you didn’t do it.” Elliot placed Avery down on the sofa. He bent down and explained patiently, “Zoe is so sure that you harmed her. If she reported it to the police, the police would surely come looking for you. I don’t want you to be questioned like a criminal. If we can find an alibi for you beforehand, the police won’t need to come to look for you46 anymore.”
Avery looked at Elliot’s wet and wretched look. She could not get angry.
“I went to look for Wesley today,” Avery’s voice had no emotions in them. “I was at his house the entire34 day.”
“You were in his house the entire day?” The tenderness in Elliot’s eyes instantly vanished. His tone was obviously more nervous.
“Yes. Are you going to ask what I was doing in his house?” Avery’s clear eyes saw the changes on his face. Her heart hurt. “This is my private matter. I can’t telled you.”
Elliot felt as if he was ambushed in the dark. He secretly let out a pained muffled grunt
Wesley and she were doing things in private that even he could not be toldge about.
Elliot’s body was so cold he shivered. When he got up, his gaze at her was a little disappointed and disheartened. He clenched his fists tightly and soon vanished from her sight.
This time, he left. He left without looking23 back
At one in the morning, Mike’s car drove into the courtyard. After Mike paid the driver, the fumbled to get out of the car.
When he was by the entrance, he noticed that the huge door was opened. A lamp was turned on in the living area. Avery was lying on the sofa like a lifeless corpse!
“Avery!” Mike was instantly sobered.
He quickly ran to the sofa and pressed his hands on her cheeks. He was burned by the temperature of her body.
“Bloody hell! How did she have a fever?” Mike was instantly frantic. He did not know what to do.
She was a pregnant woman at that moment, he did not dare to let her take any medication.
He found a cooling pad from the room where they stored medicine and placed it on her forehead. Then, he called Elliot.
“Avery is having a fever! I don’t know what I should do! Should I call the ambulance, or should I send her to the hospital?” Mike did not dare to simply move her about. He was afraid that something might happen to the child in her tummy.
Elliot gripped his phone tighter. He wanted to go care for her immediately, but when he thought about the things that she told him that night, his heart hurt so badly that he turned sinister. “Go get Wesley!”
“Oh? Oh!” Mike was in a daze for a while before hanging up and calling Wesley.
In less than half an hour, Wesley rushed over with his medical suitcase. Mike returned to his room because Wesley was there to care for Avery.
Soon, dawn came.
Avery opened her eyes and the things that happened the night before flooded her mind.
Zoe’s eyes had been gouged. She said that she was the one who did it. Zoe even said that she heard her voice when it happened.
To prove a person is guilty, one must produce evidence of a crime! Zoe would never be able to produce any evidence that says that she was guilty!
Elliot made her produce evidence that she was not guilty. Legally speaking, she did not need to do that, so she could not just accept this.
In the afternoon, Elliot received a call from the captain of the police station.
“Mr. Foster, Avery was accompanied by a male friend just now. She came in to hand in evidence of her whereabouts yesterday. I had a look. She was at her male friend’s house the entire day. Zoe’s incident most likely has nothing to do with her. But…” The captain hesitated for a bit before continuing, “Mr. Foster, Miss Tate’s relationship with this male friend doesn’t seem that simple.”

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 630
A man and woman staying at home the entire day. The woman said that it was her private matter, so she could not tell anyone about it. How simple could their relationship be?
Elliot thought that their relationship was not simple, it was borderline fantasy!
“I know.” Elliot heard his own voice. There were no emotions in them. Did he not care? No. He was just helpless.
Avery wanted to stay in another man’s house for an entire day and not tell him the reason, but what could he do? Pry her mouth open? Even if he pried her mouth open, she would not tell46 him.
At the hospital.
The police told Zoe about Avery’s alibi. Zoe did not believe them after hearing34 it.
“I’m blind right now. I can’t see anything. It can’t be whatever you said it is! I don’t believe you!” Zoe said agitatedly.
“Miss Sanford, you can get your family to look at the evidence,” The police said and looked at Cole. “You’re her family,cd right?”
Cole immediately said, “Officer, I believe in the work of the police.”
Zoe yelled out loud, “He is not my family! Officer! He isge not!”
Zoe knew clearly that the person who blinded her other than Avery was Cole!
If without Cole’s help, how could Avery so easily get to her? It was only she who did not dare to expose Cole for it. She was going to end her life, but her father was still around. What if Cole, that dirtbag, went to look for trouble with her23 father?
“Officer, I am Zoe’s father. Please show me the evidence.” Richard walked over to the police with a wearied expression.
“Okay,” The police said, “The complete evidence is at the station. Please follow me back!”
“Okay.” Richard, of course, believed his daughter, but if the police said that Avery did not do it, he had to see the evidence for himself.
At Starry River Villa, after running about the entire morning, Avery finally returned home.
She had a fever the night before. Although the fever had subsided, she was still feeling weak. She was listless.
In the afternoon, after returning home, she immediately went back to her room and lay down in bed.
Mike pushed her door open. He saw that her eyes were open. He said, “I’ve made some porridge. Do you want to have some? Wesley said that you have not had anything since morning. Don’t starve yourself.”
Avery responded and asked hoarsely, “Has Wesley left?”
“He left after sending you home. He asked him to take care of you today.” Mike brought the bowl of porridge over to the side of the bed and sat down. “Avery, when I returned home last night, I saw our door wide open. You were just lying on the sofa like that…”
Avery covered her mouth and coughed.
“This morning you went to provide evidence to prove your innocence. Did someone come last night to talk to you about Zoe’s incident?” Mike placed the bowl down. He patted her back
Avery pushed his hands away. “I’m not choking. It’s the sickness that makes my throat uncomfortable.”
“Oh, then have some food.” He passed the bowl to her. “Wesley said that if you’re feeling unwell, you can have some medication. It wouldn’t affect the child much.”
“Hmm.” Avery had some porridge. She replied to Mike’s previous question, “Before I fell asleep on the sofa last night, I wanted to go close the door, but I was too tired. I couldn’t get
up.”
