When His Eyes Opened Chapter 126
The tension between Elliot and Avery grew drastically.They were seated next to each other, but it looked like they were on the verge of war.Afraid that they would break into a fight, Mrs. Cooper quickly brought over a fresh fruit platter."Have you had lunch, Madam? I left some food out for you."Avery shot to her feet and stormed toward the dining room.Elliot watched her walk away. He could not figure out her thoughts. If she was furious, she probably would not stay for lunch.However, the rage in her eyes made it impossible to deny that she was mad.Avery had skipped breakfast and lunch, so her stomach was beginning to ache from hunger.She took over half an hour to finish her food since wolfing it down would only cause indigestion and add to her current discomfort.When she walked out of the dining room, Elliot was no longer in the living room."We tend to act impulsively when we're angry, Madam. Maybe you should get some rest for now," Mrs. Cooper said.Avery's head

If Elliot had been run over last night, would it be guaranteed that the perpetrator would be punished? Even if the murderer paid for his crimes, would it bring Elliot back to life?Absolutely not."I'm not blaming you, Elliot… I just can't immediately accept the way you handled things…" Avery said in a voice as soft as cotton."You don't need to accept it. You just need to know that I would never hurt anyone who was innocent.""Okay.""Get some rest," Elliot said, then gently caressed Avery's back to get her to fall asleep.Wrapped in his arms and surrounded by his unique scent, Avery quickly fell into a deep slumber.At 5 p.m. that evening, Avery got a call from the police requesting her presence at the station right away.She hung up the phone and rushed out of the house without telling Elliot.When she arrived at the station, her gaze immediately fell on Wanda's bloodshot eyes.Those same eyes filled with revulsion at the sight of Avery.The two women were escorted into

Avery violently shook off Wanda's grip on her arm.She recognized the car as Elliot's and strode over to it.When the door to the driver's side opened up, the bodyguard got out and charged straight at Wanda.Avery was afraid that he was about to strike Wanda.She rushed to the bodyguard's side and held him back."Don't touch her! Her daughter just died. It's only natural that she'd be emotional."Ha… I guess you haven't been kicked out of the Foster family yet! You're pretty good at seducing men, aren't you?" Wanda mocked.The bodyguard raised his arm in preparation to slap Wanda across the face.Avery stopped him once again and said, "Get back in the car. I'll get in after a word with her."The bodyguard shot an intimidating glare at Wanda, warning her not to lay a finger on Avery.Wanda felt a chill run down her spine, but she had to put up with it.Now that her daughter was dead, she had to stay alive!That was the only way she could avenge Cassandra.Once the bodyguard

"Yes, Mom. It's me," Elliot answered.Avery choked and began to cough violently.He actually called her mother "Mom"!"Here's the thing. Avery said she feels like eating your cooking, but it's not convenient for me to go to your place. I'm thinking of booking a restaurant nearby, and I was wondering if you'll be able to come and cook there," Elliot said in a gentle and calm voice."Sure! Just send me the address and I'll be right over," replied Laura."Thank you," Elliot said, then hung up the phone and sent an address to Laura.Avery stared at him in complete shock, completely bewildered by his actions."Are you insane? I was just simply saying that… You actually called my mom out to cook for me?!" Avery exclaimed. "You never used to take my words seriously. What's going on with you?""I'll take you seriously from now on," Elliot said as his eyes and tone turned serious.A wave of warmth washed over Avery and turned her cheeks red. She felt like she could hear her heart thump

At the restaurant, Laura laid out the completed dishes on the table."Come with me for a second, Avery," Laura called out to her daughter.Avery followed her mother and walked toward the bathroom."Did you and Elliot get into a fight?" Laura asked."Is it that obvious?" Avery responded, her face void of emotion.Perhaps it was because she had been disappointed so many times that she became numb to the feeling."It is. You look like a couple that's on the verge of divorce," said Laura. "The expression on your faces is exactly what your father and I looked like when we went to sign the divorce papers."Avery could not hold back a laugh."We didn't talk about the divorce. It's just… About having kids… We can't talk about it.""I see. Is he still not willing to have kids? Did he say why?"Avery shook her head and said, "He has depression. Every time I think about that, I tell myself not to dwell on things.""That poor thing." Laura sighed. "What's the point of having all of that

Elliot's legs had been recovering well, and he was able to move around more freely with a walking stick.He got out of bed and walked into the closet to pick out his outfit for the day.Most of his clothes were in dark shades and colors.His brows furrowed as he took in the gloominess of his closet.Elliot walked out of the closet after failing to pick out a suitable outfit, then gave Chad a call."Chad, I need a light-colored suit.""Of course, Sir. Are you looking for something casual or a formal suit?""Something casual.""Roger that. I'll get it ready right away," Chad said. "By the way, the jewelry designer you asked me to contact has finished the sketch you asked for. I've emailed it over to you. They can start working on it once you approve the sketch.""Alright," Elliot responded.He hung up, then entered his study and turned on the computer.The upcoming New Year's Eve was the first one that he was going to spend with Avery, and he wanted to give her something speci

Avery did not react.It was true that her relationship with Elliot was more boring than most.Just last week, they had spent the entire time at home.Elliot was either working in his study or reading a book in the living room.Avery, on the other hand, was either writing her thesis or reading in the living room with him.Elliot's book was in a foreign language that Avery did not understand.Avery was reading Professor Hough's book on neurology.She was sure Elliot would not understand a thing about it either, so she did not feel inferior to him."What do you think of my necklace?" Tammy asked as she suddenly took off the necklace she was wearing and showed it to Avery."It's pretty. Did your boyfriend give it to you?""He did! It's a Christmas gift. It's even got my name engraved on it!""You can also purchase jewelry which comes with a free engraving offer for under ten bucks," said Avery in earnest. "You shouldn't let these things go to your head!"Tammy did not mind."I

Avery's hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail, and she was dressed in a blue denim jacket over a long white dress.With her guitar in her arms, she took a seat on the high stool placed at the center of the stage.As she adjusted the mic stand in front of her, the room lights dimmed, and she was illuminated by the light of the spotlight that was trained on her. The melodic strumming of Avery's guitar began to echo through the hall, followed by her angelic singing.Her gaze did not search the crowd for anyone in particular, but she could feel a pair of eyes watching her intently.Avery shut her eyes to immerse herself in her performance.Soon after, the stage lights lit up and a colorful wave of flower petals floated down from the ceiling.The audience burst into wild, frenzied cheers.Avery opened her eyes, her thick lashes fluttering.Her face was a picture of bewilderment as petals rustled down in front of her eyes.Nobody told her that there would be a flower shower du

Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

"All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
