When His Eyes Opened Chapter 711

Chapter 711

"That's between them, so I'm not too sure," Ben said. "If they do get married, I bet they'll host a grand wedding. You'll all find out about it then."

"Avery Tate really hit the jackpot in life! She gave our boss a child, and it's a son, too!" someone said enviously.

"Exactly! I bet the boss will help her out if Tate Industries ever gets in trouble in the future."

Ben teased, "Your boss might be rich and handsome, but Avery isn't a powerless woman who would use her children to earn respect. Do you really think your boss would fall in love with an average woman? Stop watching too many soap operas."

"Huh? Isn't the boss only with Avery Tate because she got pregnant?"

"What are you thinking?! How could a mere child tie him down? There are plenty of women in the world. If he only wanted a child, he could've picked any woman to have a child with."

Ben's words enlightened everyone.

Simply put, a woman who was able to stay by Elliot Foster's side was definitely not a gullible idiot.

Even if Chelsea was not fired, she was still no match against Avery Tate.

Three days later, Avery was able to walk around on her feet. She requested to be discharged.

The doctor naturally disagreed.

If she had given birth naturally, then she could have been discharged after three days at the hospital.

However, a C-section was completely different.

"I'll rest properly when I get home. I'll give myself anti-inflammatory shots," Avery said. " I shouldn't stick around and take up the hospital' s resources."

The doctor was rendered speechless.

Moments later, the doctor issued a discharge slip for her.

Once they walked out of the hospital, Elliot helped Avery into the car.

"I want to see Tammy, " she said.

Elliot knew that the reason why she wanted to be discharged was definitely not to save the hospital' s resources.

"What if she doesn't want to see you, Avery?"

"If she doesn't want to see me when I get there, then I'll go home." Of course she would not force Tammy.

Elliot signaled the driver with his eyes.

The driver understood, then drove the car toward the hospital where Tammy was staying.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Elliot walked Avery to the door of Tammy's room.

They first saw Jun.

Jun did not expect them to show up, so his reaction was slightly uneasy.

"Why are you st=f" -? “.ting around outside, Jun?" When Avery saw the haggard look on his face and the stubble on his chin, she instantly became nervous.

Jun's lips parted, then he said bitterly, "I haven't seen her in two days. She wants a divorce. There's no room for discussion at all."

Upon hearing those words, Avery's heart ached so hard that it was difficult to breathe.

She knew that Tammy loved Jun very much. If this had not happened, then she would never bring up divorce.

She not only harmed Tammy, she also harmed Jun.

"Go on in and see her! I'll come again tomorrow, " Jun said, then strode away.

When Elliot saw Avery's pale expression, he knew that he could no longer hide the truth from her.

He held her hand, then said, "Avery, I'm afraid Tammy can't have children ever again. That's why she's insisting on the divorce."

The moment Elliot finished his sentence, Avery burst into tears!

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 712

Chapter 712

Avery suddenly did not have the courage to enter the room.

She did not know how to face Tammy.

Tammy might have been afraid of giving birth, but it took a long period of internal struggle for her to decide that she wanted children.

In the end, she became infertile. It must have been such a giant blow to her!

It must also have been a massive blow to Jun!

"This has nothing to do with you, Avery. Aunt Mary doesn't blame, and neither will Tammy." Elliot said softly as he reached out to wipe Avery's tears off

her face. "Go on in and talk to her."

"I don't know what  to say... Elliot,  I don't know how to talk to her..." Avery sobbed. "I can't face her like this."

At that moment, the patient's room door suddenly burst open.

When Mary saw the two of them standing at the door, she said in surprise, "When did you two get here? Did you already get discharged from the hospital so soon, Avery?"

Avery quickly composed herself, then said, "Yes, I've been discharged. That's why I came to see Tammy. I won't bother her if she's asleep."

"She's not sleeping right now. She made me come out here to see if Jun was still around," said Mary as she glanced around.

"He just left," Avery said.

"Alright. Wait right now. I'll go in and let Tammy know you're here!" Mary turned and walked back into the room.

When Mary reappeared moments later, she gazed awkwardly at Elliot and said, "Tammy only wants to see Avery."

Elliot nodded in understanding.

The moment Avery entered the room, her eyes instantly reddened when they met Tammy's.

"Don't cry." Tammy had a forced smile on her face. "I'm still alive!"

"I'm sorry, Tammy... "

"Don't say that." Tammy choked, then said calmly, "I don't want to be treated like a victim. It's an awful feeling."

"Alright." Avery walked to the side of the bed. She saw the IV chart hanging on top of the bed, so she reached out for it.

On the other hand, Tammy reached out and stroked Avery's belly.

"You had to give birth prematurely because of me... Is the baby alright?"

Tammy felt resentment after the tragedy.

She hated everyone ?a():+ <m wanted to destroy everything... She wanted to destroy herself and everyone around her.

It was only after she cleared her head that she realized that destroying herself would only make her loved ones miserable, and would achieve nothing else.

She later heard the news about Avery's premature birth. That was when the resentment in her heart died down.

The one who harmed her was not Avery. How could she hate her?

A premature birth could be a minor or a major thing. If luck was not on her side, both mother and child might not be able to make it through.

"The baby' s fine. He's just a little small, but he'll be fine after a little while." Avery finished looking through Tammy's chart, then sat down by the bed. " I saw Jun outside just now, Tammy."

"Oh... I plan on divorcing him. I can't have children, after all. I shouldn't drag him down with me," Tammy said nonchalantly. "His parents would curse me to death if I don't divorce him."

Avery lowered her gaze as her heart began to ache.

"It's not a bad thing. I've always been afraid of giving birth. Now, I don't have to worry about that.  " Tammy held Avery's hand, then said, "I'll further my studies abroad once I'm discharged. I've decided to take over my father's company and work hard in the future."

Avery wanted to smile at her, but her tears rolled down her cheeks instead.

Tammy was the Lynch family's only daughter. She had never had to suffer even once in her entire life.

She never liked studying, nor did she like working.

This was why she never worked even after she graduated from college.

It might seem like a good thing that she decided to work hard now, but it was a sign that the abduction had completely wrecked the old Tammy.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 713

Chapter 713

"Avery, we might not be able to meet all the time again, but I'll still come see you when I have the time," Tammy said.

"Okay. I'll wait for you."

"Go home and get some rest! You look worse than I do," Tammy said, then wanted to get out of bed to send her off.

"Lie down and rest. I'll leave now," Avery said as she held her down. "Let me know when you leave the hospital."

"I will."

As Avery walked out of the hospital, her thoughts were a chaotic mess. Her head was spinning and she could not calm down.

Things seemed to be getting better, but her heart felt heavy.

Perhaps it was because she could no longer return to the past, and the future was filled with  uncertainty.

"Get some rest when you get home, Avery. You don't look too good." Elliot gazed at Avery's cool face and worried that she might get postpartum depression. "While you were talking to Tammy in the room, Aunt Mary told me that this might have been a tragic experience for Tammy, but it made her mature very quickly."

"That's because she never wants to rely on any man ever again. The only thing she can do is force herself to grow up."

"Don't you think that's a good thing? I'm not saying Jun is unreliable, but you must know that you can be more confident if you depend on yourself."

"You're right, but she's my best friend. Even if I hope for her to become a strong woman, I don't want to see her change because of this type of misfortune. " Avery forced herself to hold back her tears. "Society is reckless. Not many people can

stay innocent forever. I want her to be happy, even if it means having to rely on a man to live."

"What's done is done, Avery. She will move on one day."

"Don't try to persuade me! Before Chelsea is brought to justice, don't try to persuade me!" Avery roared loudly.

That night, the temperature dropped along with the arrival of a heavy rainstorm.

The sound of the rain pitter-pattering against the windows felt like a lullaby. Avery lay in bed and fell fast asleep.

In the living room, Mrs. Cooper served Elliot a glass of wine.

"Go to bed after having a drink, Master Elliot." Mrs. Cooper noticed that Elliot had lost weight. She was worried that he had not had a good night's sleep since looking after Avery.

"Okay." Elliot drank the wine, then asked, "How have Hayden <e!+;,?w Layla been the past couple of days?"

"They're very well behaved. They don't need me to control them at all." Mrs. Cooper sighed and said, " Avery raised them very well."

Elliot felt relieved, but also very ashamed.

Avery was able to raise the two children so well without his participation... Did this mean that he was unnecessary?

He finished his wine, then went up to the master bedroom.

A warm night lamp was turned on in the room. Avery's eyes were shut and her breathing was even.

Elliot walked over to the side of the bed and turned off the light.

The room instantly fell into darkness.

He sat down by the bed. He had planned to just sit with Avery for a while, then move to the guest bedroom. Fatigue overcame him in the end, and he fell asleep very quickly next to her.

At 9.30 p.m. that night, Hayden and Layla tiptoed over to the master bedroom.

They opened the room door and took a look inside.

"What are you two looking at? Why aren't you in bed?" Mike was standing behind them. He popped his head into the room and snuck a peek, too.

Layla huffed, "I heard the sound of a car driving off, so I thought Daddy already left. Hayden said he was still here, so we argued over it. "

Mike caressed the top of Layla' s head, then said, " There's no way he's leaving! Your Mommy needs to be taken care of right now!"

"Oh... " Layla responded, then softly apologized to Hayden and dragged him back to their room.

Mike closed the door to the master bedroom, then walked over to the living room.

Suddenly, Chad strode out of Mike's bedroom, grabbed his arm and dragged him back into the room.

"I used your computer to get into that darknet website you mentioned and found something really scary! F*ck! I'm so scared that I'm breaking into a cold sweat!"

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 714

Chapter 714

"Why do you think it's called the darknet? That's because it's filled with all kinds of criminal activity I don't think you have the mental capacity for it!"

Mike teased.

Chad's mental capacity was not as bad as Mike said.

After all, he was Elliot Foster's right hand man. He's been through thick and thin with Elliot, so how could he possibly get frightened easily?

"You'll know what I mean when you see it."

The two of them entered the room, and Chad sat Mike down in front of the computer.

Mike glanced at the information on the monitor... To be exact, his back broke into a cold sweat after he saw the photo on the screen!

It was a photo of Laura Jensen.

Laura was Avery' s biological mother. She passed away two years ago, so what was her photo doing on the darknet website?

Could it be...

Mike's hand tightened around his mouse as his pale blue eyes turned cold.

He finished reading the information on the screen and gritted his teeth.

"It's scary, right? This user named Lilo wants to buy a middle-aged woman who looks like Laura Jensen. What does she want to do with her? I bet she'll use it against Avery!" Chad drew a cold breath. "Hurry up and look into this Lilo person, Mike. Find out who she is!"

Mike lifted his head to look at Chad. "How did you find this information?"

" I suddenly had an idea in my head! Chelsea had found a woman who looked very similar to Avery and tried to use her to replace Avery. Her plan failed, but she caused countless arguments between Avery and Mr. Foster. I thought about it. If a woman who looked like Avery's mother appeared, wouldn't they have complete control over Avery?"

Chad was rambling rather speedily.

He did not expect a simple thought to be true!

"That's why I searched for keywords related to middle-aged women and came across Laura Jensen's photo!"

Mike opened up the user named Lilo' s account, but there was not much information there.

"I need to check her IP address..." Mike mumbled as his fingers began to tap away at the keyboard. "Get some rest. I'll let you know when I find something."

"Okay. I'm going to go see my boss. I need to tell him about this," Chad said ;b4&=, = u prepared to walk out of the room.

"He's asleep," Mike called out. "He's pretty knocked out. He didn't even wake up when the kids opened the door."

"Alright, then! I won't bother him," Chad said, then awkwardly adjusted his glasses.

It was as if he was contemplating if he should stay or leave.

" I'm afraid I'm going to have to work through the night. You should sleep here!" Miked leaned back against the chair, then said lazily, "Your boss didn't leave either, right?"

"Ah... It's because he's still here that I feel bad about leaving. " After further consideration, Chad decided to leave."

"Why are you afraid of him? He already knows about our relationship. " Mike got up from the chair

and pinned Chad down on the bed. "He has no time to care about us at all. Don't think too highly of yourself."

Chad's face reddened slightly and he shoved Mike aside.

"Hurry up and find out about Lilo! I'll stay and wait for your results tonight."

"That's more like it." Mike was satisfied and returned to the computer. "What would your boss do if Lilo turns out to be Chelsea Tierney?"

Chad was sitting on the edge of the bed with a stern expression on his face.

"He'd either throw her in prison or straight up kill her. The point is that he won't show any mercy. She really crossed the line this time."

Mike was suddenly filled with energy, but he was still slightly concerned. " I'm just worried that she left the country like Nora did."

"It'd be worse than death for her to spend the  rest of her life like a coward, " Chad said. "Keep working! I'm taking a shower."

In the master bedroom, Avery woke up in the middle of the  night and noticed the man sleeping next to her through the dim light shining in from outside the window.

She recognized him through his blurry features and the smell of his cologne. Elliot's breathing was deep.

He had spent the past few days taking care of her and hardly got a wink of sleep.

He was by her side every time she woke up in pain in the middle of the night. Although the nanny took care of her during the day, he still insisted on doing everything by himself.

Avery had not been in the best mood the past few days, so she did not notice how well Elliot was treating her.

Not only did he have no complaints, he was also obedient and accommodating in every aspect.

It was hard for Avery to imagine how she would overcome this hurdle without Elliot's care.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 715

Chapter 715

Avery could not help but reach out and touch Elliot's face.

She was shocked by the coldness of his skin.

The thermostat in the house kept the indoors at a constant temperature. However, since it got colder outside, it was still necessary to use a blanket at night.

Avery covered Elliot with the blanket that was on her and inched closer to him.

He had some wine before bed, so his scent had turned intoxicating.

While Avery was half asleep, she suddenly heard Elliot's hoarse voice.

"Avery... I'll be a good dad... I will..."

His voice was low, as if he was talking in his sleep.

Avery opened her eyes and looked directly at his face.

She could not clearly see his features in the dark, but she could see that his eyes were shut.

He was dreaming and talking in his sleep. He was

promising her in his dream that he would be a good father.

Elliot was sleep-talking, but Avery was still moved to tears.

One's thoughts during the day would turn into dreams at night. He was only having a dream like this because he remembered her words.

She believed that he would be a good father.

Every time the doctor sent him a new photo of the baby, he would show it to her right away.

He would tell her about the tiniest changes in the baby.

It was unlikely for there to be too many changes in the short span of two to three days.

He thought that the baby was changing because he was overly serious. He would not repeatedly flip through the baby's photos if he did not love him.

The next morning, Chad woke up to find Mike fast asleep next to him.

He had a strong feeling that Mike had found Lilo 's background.

He got out of bed, walked over to the computer and switched it on.

Lilo's detailed information instantly appeared on the monitor!

Chad quickly sifted through the information, and his heart began to race wildly in his chest!

It was Chelsea Tierney! It really was her!

Avery's hunch was right! It was all a part of Chelsea's scheme!

Chad picked up the laptop and rushed out of the room.

He had to let Elliot know about this!

He barely took two steps out of the room when he ran into Avery.

Avery saw Chad looking unkempt in his pajamas with a laptop in his arms. He was a nervous wreck :h S» ?!;n his behavior  and actions were very strange.

"What's up with you, Chad? Did something happen?

Chad scratched his head, then said in embarrassment, "Where's Mr. Foster? Is he still asleep?"

Elliot walked over the moment he finished his sentence.

He frowned when he saw Chad's disheveled appearance.

Chad had no time to explain. He rushed over to Elliot and handed him the laptop.

"It's Chelsea Tierney, Sir!" Chad was speaking incoherently out of his shock. "She was the one who did all of it! She's bad to the core! I'm so disappointed in her!"

Avery heard his words, then walked over to them and stared at the laptop's screen.

"Simply put, Nora was a slave that she bought on the dark web! Nora listened to everything she said. Not only that, she's also thinking of buying a middle -aged woman who looks like Laura Jensen!"

Avery's ankles went weak when she heard those words.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 716

Chapter 716

Elliot held Avery in his arms and carried her to the couch.

"Stay home, Avery. I'll go see Chelsea now." He gazed into her eyes and promised, "I will make her pay the most severe consequences."

Avery nodded her head.

Elliot and Chad left moments later.

In the car, Elliot dialed Chelsea's number on his phone. It took a few tries for his call to get answered.

In the past, she had always picked up his calls within seconds.

Chelsea did not speak after she answered the call.

She knew that something bad must have happened for him to call her.

"Where are you right now?" Elliot asked in a deep voice.

Chelsea felt chills run through her entire body. "Is there something I can help you with?" "Yes."

"What is it? Let's just talk about it on the phone! I'm afraid to meet you."

There was a hint of caution in Chelsea's tone.

Elliot could read her thoughts, and said, "I feel very bad about hitting you before. I'd like to meet and apologize."

Chelsea laughed out loud, then said, "Even if you think you went too far, you would never go out of your way to apologize to me. I know you too well, Elliot."

"You must have misunderstood me. I always apologize when I make a mistake in front of Avery. "

"There are no misunderstandings. I said you wouldn't apologize to me, not that you wouldn't apologize to Avery Tate." Chelsea felt her heart

turn cold, then continued, " I've thought about it in the past couple of days, Elliot. We were a mistake from the very beginning. No matter how you  treated me, it was all because of my own doing. My brother said I asked for it, and I agree with him."

Elliot's patience was reaching its limit.

He did not want to listen to her reminisce the past and sum up her experience at all.

"Are you in the country or abroad, Chelsea?" he asked.

"Do you want to see me that badly?" The gears turned in Chelsea' s head. Then, she said sharply, " Let me guess. You're definitely not in a hurry to see me just so you can apologize. Could it be..."

"I don't recall you being someone who dillydallies."

"Don't tell me that you found evidence to prove that I was the one behind all those crimes?" Chelsea guessed bravely. "Did Cole Foster tell you about it? He can't be trusted at all! Avery Tate bribed him. Did you forget that they used to date?"

There was no way she would admit that she did all those things.

"Chelsea, I want to meet you, so you can see the proof you want with your own eyes. " Elliot' s every word was cold <c(!?4 >j eerie. "It doesn't matter if you're here or abroad. I will find you."

On the other end of the line, the color drained from Chelsea's face out of fear.

"What proof? What proof did you find?!"

"Your transaction records on the Bridgedale Dark-net Organization website." Elliot's Adam's apple bobbed in his throat. Then, he roared furiously, "You sadistic madwoman! I'll kill you

with my own two hands! That's the only way to get over the resentment I feel for you!"

Chelsea's grip loosened, and her phone fell with a bang to the ground.

How did he find her transaction records on the Dark-net website?! How did he find them?!

She had thought that this was a secret that would never be found out! The friends who introduced her to the website guaranteed that everything that happened on it would never be exposed to the public.

She took a deep breath, then bent over and picked up her phone. She stared coldly at the phone screen a s her slender finger pressed down on the power button. Very quickly, her phone turned off.

Elliot wanted to kill her, but she did not want to die! She had to hide! She could not let him find her!

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 717

Chapter 717

After Elliot failed to contact Chelsea, he called Charlie instead.

When Charlie answered the phone and heard about what Chelsea did, he stayed silent for a few seconds.

"Listen, Elliot. You're half the reason my sister became this way. If I were you, I wouldn't have let her remain at Sterling Group back then. If you don't love her, then you shouldn't have given her any hope at all!"

"I kept her at the company because of her work ethic and capability! "

" I know that, but don't you think she would start imagining things if she saw you every day? There's no point in talking about any of this at this point." Charlie let out a sigh, then said, "Chelsea is traveling abroad right now. Tell me what you want her to do?"

"I want her dead."

"Ellliot Foster! After all the years she's been by your side, do you have to be this heartless with her? " Charlie took in a sharp breath, unable to accept this result. "Can't you let her live for my sake? We were classmates, after all."

"Should I let her live so that she can continue to torment Avery?! "

I guarantee that she won't ever bother you again! I'll watch her!" Charlie exclaimed earnestly. "You have the love of your life with you and she's even given you a son. Your life is complete! Forgive and forget! Back when you went insane, life gave you another chance. Why can't you do the same for Chelsea? I can get proof  from the hospital that she's suffering from mental illness!"

Charlie's words were a huge blow to Elliot. Proof of mentall illness?!

How did Charlie know about that?

Elliot's silence made Charlie feel relieved, so he added confidently, "Everyone has lost control of themselves at some point, Elliot. I won't open up your old wounds, but don' t you force my sister  to her death! Otherise, I'm taking  you  down  along with her! I bet Avery Tate doesn't know about your past scandals, right? You don't want your son to get picked on growing up, do you? If  that's the case, then let this entire thing come to an end here!"

Elliot's expression was eeriely chilling.

Chad did not know what Charlie had said on the phone for Elliot to look as if he was being strangled.

"Should we still look for Chelsea, Sir?" Chad asked when he realized that things might not be as simple as they had thought.

"I want to calm down a little." Elliot's voice was low < e,!>*>x hoarse, and completely  void of  its  earlier strength.

"You promised Avery that you would severely punish Chelsea, " Chad reminded him, "She would be extremely upset if you go back on your word. She just gave birth, so she could easily fall into postpartum depression. It's better not to trigger her."

Of course, Elliot was aware of what Chad was saying. However, Charlie now had something on him.

If he touched Chelsea, Charlie would take him down with her.

He was pondering if he was able to handle the consequences of his past scandal going public.

If he were by himself, then he would not care about how the world judged him.

However, he now had Avery and three beautiful children. Besides, Hayden and Layla were still in school. They might not call him "Dad", but he had a feeling that they already knew that he was their biological father...

That evening, the black Rolls-Roice slowly pulled into the front yard of the Starry River Villa.

When Avery saw Elliot return, she immediately became anxious.

He had left that morning saying he was going to find Chelsea and make her pay a painful price, but she did not know if things were already settled or not.

The car came to a halt, and Elliot 's tall silhouette appeared in her line of vision.

Under the streetlights, the expression of his face was unclear, and she could not read his emotions.

When he finally arrived in front of her, he held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Let's talk in private, Avery."

Avery looked sharply at Elliot, then asked, "You couldn't bring yourself  to deal with Chelsea,  right? I f you can't do it, then I'll go get my revenge myself!

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 718

Chapter 718

As loathing seeped out of Avery' s eyes, she could not hold her voice back.

Mike and the two children simultaneously turned to look in their direction.

Elliot immediately pulled Avery toward her bedroom.

"What happened? Why are they fighting again? " Mike mumbled under his breath as he pulled out his phone and texted Chad.

Chad: [Watch the kids. Don't care about anything else.]

Mike: [No wonder you didn't want to come over tonight. Did your boss decide to let Chelsea Tierney go?"]

Chad: [Watch your mouth. He has his reasons no matter what he decides to do.]

Mike: [D*mn it! I shouldn't have showed you the evidence!]

Chad: [Chelsea isn't in the country right now. How do you expect us to find her? Find her yourself since you're so amazing.]

Mike: [I see. If that's the case, then Avery won't be mad.]

In the bedroom on the first floor, Elliot shut the door, then gazed deeply at Avery and said, "Have you met someone with a mental illness, Avery?"

His words made Avery's brows furrow tightly. "Are you trying to say that Chelsea has a mental illness?"

"No, I'm just asking if you've met someone like that." Elliot saw that she had calmed down, so he led her to sit on the bed.

Avery pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, " I have, but why are you asking me about that?

"If someone had a mental illness, committed murder, and escaped legal persecution, would you hate them?" Elliot stood next to Avery. His deep set eyes were fixed on her, so he did not miss even the tiniest of emotion.

"It depends on who they murdered. I won't hate them if it was a bad person. If they killed..."

"What if they killed their own family?" Elliot asked, cutting her off.

Avery felt breathless. She raised her brows and said, "That's a weird question, Elliot. If this person

already has a mental illness, then every one of their actions is out of their control. What do you expect me to say, asking me to judge a sick person from the point of view of a normal person? I don't know how to answer that, because I've never come across something like that."

"I see." Her answer was unexpected. His eyes darkened as he said, "Sick or not, killing one's family is unforgivable. "

"What are you trying to say?" Avery glared at him. " I just want to know what happened when you went to look for Chelsea today."

"Her brother said she's suffering from a mental illness." Elliot's fists clenched slightly.

He did not have to courage to take the risk.

Avery's reaction gave him no choice but to endure Charlie's threat.

If she knew that he was once sick ;a”' =, >o murdered his own father, would she be afraid? Would she take the kids and leave him behind?"

"Just because her brother said she's got a mental illness, does that mean it's true?! Do you really  trust them that much? You're just accepting it because you don't want to go against Chelsea, right?!" Avery was emotional and tears welled up in

her eyes. "Every time I start to believe you, you always let me down! I've already lost count of the number of times this has happened!"

She had had enough of this emotional torture.

If she stopped trusting him, then she would no longer depend on him or have any expectations. That way, she would no longer be disappointed!

Elliot's Adam's apple bobbed in his throat as seething grief and sorrow flashed across his eyes.

"Other than this, I will give you anything you want, Avery. "

I don't care about anything else but this!" Avery tared at him with resolute eyes and said adamantly, "What do you think you can give me, Elliot Foster? If you can't even do this one thing right, then what else can you do for me?!"

Her words stabbed at Elliot's heart like a sharp knife.

What else could he do for her?

He could not come up with an answer.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 719

Chapter 719

Without Elliot, Avery could still raise the children well.

Without him, her life and career would go on without a hitch.

"If it weren't for you, Chelsea wouldn't have incessantly come after me, and Tammy wouldn't have gotten hurt because of it! I wouldn't have given birth prematurely either! What else have you given me but pain, Elliot Foster?!" The negative emotions buried in the deepest parts of her heart completely exploded.

Avery's criticism left Elliot with nowhere to hide from his shame.

"Avery..."

"Don't say my name!" she cut him off. "Get out of my house right now! Don't meddle in my business ever again! As for the baby... We'll talk about it when he's out of the hospital!"

Elliot tightly clenched his fists as he watched her emotions utterly shatter.

Reason warned him that he had to leave immediately! If he continued to stay, it would only

add to her aggravation.

He had already made his decision, and he would not change his mind.

At least Avery merely despised him now, instead of being afraid of him!

Once Elliot left, Mike and the children immediately ran up to Avery's room.

She had already wiped her tears away and quickly composed herself.

She was now the mother of three children, so she had to be stronger than she ever was before.

"Did you two fight, Avery? Was it because of Chelsea Tierney? I asked Chad about it..."

Mike wanted to comfort her and tell her not to rush things.

Now that Chelsea had fled the country, it was only normal not to be able to find her. It was not as if she would never return to Aryadelle, right? As long as she returned, with Elliot 's connections and tactics, there was no way they would not be able to catch her.

"I'm hungry. Let's go make something to eat!" Avery said, cutting Mike off.

Mike received his intel from Chad, who did not necessarily know about Elliot's decision.

Things between Elliot and her were disastrous. She did not want to tell the people around her about it, nor did she want them to worry.

"Sure. You're still recovering from giving birth, so don't pull a long face... I might not think that recovering at home is important,  but everyone  says it is, which means it probably is pretty  important." Mike tried to ease =f ,%:" >y said, "I know that everything that happened recently  was  messed  up, but at least Baby Robert was delivered without

much trouble. How about we throw him a huge party once he's discharged from the hospital?"

Avery did not want to rain on his parade, so she agreed.

"Were you the one who kicked Daddy out, Mommy? He didn't say anything to us when he left. How rude, " Layla said unhappily as she puffed her cheeks.

"Don't worry about him. Let's go eat," Avery said "Okay... Is he never coming to our house again, Mommy?" Layla's big, round eyes glistened as she asked curiously, "Didn't he say he was going to move in and help take care of Robert?"

Mike and Hayden both turned to look at Layla as they tried to make her bring the subject to a close.

Layla, however, obviously did not catch their signal at all.

"Will he come back when Robert's here?"

Layla's question almost made Avery lose control of her emotions.

"Robert can't leave the hospital just yet, Layla. I'll take this time to properly think about your question."

"Okay. You look really said, Mommy, " Layla said as she reached out to hold onto Avery's arm. "Did Daddy make you mad? Don't talk to him anymore, and just play with Hayden and me. We definitely won't make you mad!"

Her words filled Avery with immense delight.

"Once I've recovered, I'll take you all on vacation."

"Sure! We'll bring Robert and Uncle Mike with us... We'll all go and have lots of fun!" Layla said excitedly.

The next morning, Avery received a call from the hospital.

"Can you come to the hospital now, Miss Tate?

Your baby isn't doing too well!" The doctor's voice on the phone was pressing. "Not only has the rash he developed not gone on, but it's also now begun to spread... He's now showing signs of respiratory failure."

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 720

Chapter 720

After calling Avery, the doctor also gave Elliot a call.

The two of them arrived at the hospital at the same time.

At the neonatal unit, the doctor explained the baby's situation to them.

"The traditional  treatment we gave him didn't work. He started sleeping for longer periods of time and his breathing also became weaker... That's when I realized that his symptoms might not be typical trauma from the premature birth."

As the doctor spoke, he passed the baby' s chart to them.

Avery took over the chart and carefully read through it.

"There's something wrong with the baby's immune system." The doctor's expression turned heavy as he said, "He's also severely anemic. I think the most important thing he needs right now is a blood transfusion.  I've asked the blood bank here, and they don't have the right blood type available. Your child's blood type is a little special. "

Elliot's heart fell to the pit of his stomach as he listened to the doctor's words. "His blood type is special?"

"That's right. We need to find a suitable blood type as soon as possible and start the blood transfusion. Otherwise, his body might not be able to make it past a few days."

Without hesitation, Elliot immediately said, "Test my blood and see if it's suitable."

The doctor quickly instructed the nurse the take Elliot to get his blood drawn.

Avery swallowed back her tears and said, "Neither Elliot's nor my blood are suitable."

"Mr. Foster can check out other hospitals and see if they have this blood type with them," said the doctor.

Avery first thought of Wesley.

She pulled out her phone and called him to tell him about the baby's condition.

"Stay calm for now, Avery. I'll head to our hospital's blood bank right away and take a look," Wesley said as he consoled her. "Is the anemia genetic or pathological?"

Avery took a deep breath, then said hoarsely, "I don't know the reason behind it yet. He'll need additional tests. His body's very weak right now and he needs a blood transfusion right away."

After the phone call, Wesley immediately prepared to make his way to the hospital's blood bank.

Shea went after him >a,S*S:m asked confusedly, " What happened, Wesley?"

"Robert needs a blood transfusion, " Wesley answered truthfully. "Avery said that he's in critical condition and needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible, but the hospital he's staying in doesn't have the right blood type."

Anxiety and worry instantly appeared on Shea's face.

"What do we do? I haven't met my nephew yet! I don't want him to be sick."

"I'm going to check out the blood bank at my dad's hospital now."

"I'm going with you."

Wesley nodded, then the two got in the car and made their way to Elizabeth Hospital.

On the drive there, he received Avery's message with the baby's blood type.

When it came to blood  types,  there was one that was relatively rare and special - RH negative blood types.

Unfortunately, that was exactly what Robert's blood type was.

Wesley massaged the space between his brows after receiving the message.

There was practically no point in him going to the hospital now. He was sure that their blood bank did not carry this blood type.

RH negative blood types were extremely rare in Aryadelle, so it was impossible for them to be found in their blood bank.

Blood stored in blood banks had a shelf life of 3S days. There was no way such a rare blood type would be in stock.

"What is it, Wesley?" Shea saw the obvious gloominess on Wesley' s face, then looked down at his phone. "Who texted you? What did they say?"
