When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1689
"I'll head upstairs and check on Layla." Chad wanted to help Elliot coax Layla.His relationship with Layla was not too bad even though it was not as good as Layla's relationship with Mike. However, he felt that his words would have some level of persuasion in a situation where neither Avery, Hayden, or Mike was around.Upstairs, Mrs. Cooper opened the door with the spare key.The room was in such a mess that it looked as if a hurricane had just ravaged the place.Layla was sitting on the bed with her hands hugging her knees. Her cries were no longer as loud as before but were still depressingly hoarse.Mrs. Cooper could not blame her for what she did."Don't cry, Layla. Hayden told me before he left that he'd come and pick you up next time." Mrs. Cooper walked to the bed and used a tissue to wipe the tears from Layla's face. "Trust him, okay?""I don't trust him anymore. He said that I can go with them as long as I insisted on being with Mommy." Layla cried so much that she was

Later that evening, Ben sent Lilith a message to tell her that Avery went to Bridgedale.Lilith immediately replied: [Are you sure she's coming to Bridgedale? She didn't tell me!][She's probably still on the flight, but I'm positive she went to Bridgedale. She divorced Elliot today. He signed the divorce agreement and she took Hayden with her.][What did I miss?? Why did this happen all of a sudden?]After Lilith won second place in the modeling competition, her agent accepted some activities on her behalf, and she was very busy because those activities often require traveling to various cities[Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone right now? I'll call you and explain.][Just do it through the chat. You can send voice messages if you don't want to type.]Ben sent her a voicemail, saying, "Ruby's dead and Ivy's missing. It's highly likely that Ivy's dead too. Elliot went to Ylore to look for Ivy but failed to find her, and Avery divorced him because he went to Ylore."

Even if she asked Hayden, Hayden would not tell her.Hayden hung up the phone and looked up at the operating room door.After Avery got off the plane, she went directly to the hospital and entered the operating room.Her medical records were sent here when she was in Aryadelle.Everything was ready for her."Did Lilith call?" Mike asked with his arms crossed over his chest."She did.""Ben must have told her." Mike walked to the bench, sat down, took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, put two in his mouth, and handed the box to Hayden.Hayden shook his head."Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll wait here." Mike chewed his gum with a calm face, "Your mother will be fine. The doctor operating on her is an expert ophthalmologist in Bridgedale."Hayden shook his head again.He wanted to wait until his mother's operation was over."You have to attend school tomorrow. Do you want to go to school with dark circles under your eyes?" Mike said, "You've signed a five-ye

Avery replied, "No.""Why? Do you need another operation? Why is it so complicated? Is the doctor confident that your eyes can be cured completely?" Mike said anxiously.She thought she could recover after the operation. Unfortunately, that was not the case."If I recover successfully after this operation, the cornea will be replaced later. After my cornea gets replaced, I can see clearly again." Avery said, "As long as everything goes according to plan, the subsequent operation will be fine.""Oh... How are you going to get the corneas you need? Does the hospital have a cornea bank?" Mike was worried, "Are there any specific requirements for corneal transplantation?""Mike, don't be nervous." Avery said calmly, "The hospital has a cornea bank. The doctor will help me find a suitable cornea. It's pretty trivial. I'm going to recover pretty quickly after the surgery!""You will definitely recover quickly." Mike encouraged her. "Are you scared of the dark? You can't see anything no

"I don't want you! Go away! You're a horrible dad! I hate you!" Layla exclaimed suddenly.Robert, on the bed next to him, was instantly awakened.Robert was woken up by the screams. His 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.""Okay...sir, be patient; Layla is sick now...""I will."After Mrs. Cooper carried the crying Robert away, only Layla's cry was left in the room.Layla cried so hard today that her voice was hoarse.She was ill at the moment, and her face looked flushed. The skin on her face, and 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 your fault! It's your fault that mom divorced you!" Layla looked at him with tear

She should have arrived in Bridgedale by now.Why was her phone still not working?Had she turned it off, or had she blocked him?"Mom..." Layla burned in a daze on the stretcher, muttering in a low voice, "Mom …brother...don't go...don't leave me..."Elliot looked at his daughter's little face whispering words in pain and tightened his fingers holding the phone.Why was Avery so cruel?Being cruel to him was enough; how could she be so cruel to the child?Did she plan to cut the child off?She had suddenly become so unfamiliar to him!He couldn't help but wonder, did he really make a big mistake?He redialed Avery's number and got the same response as just now.It seemed that she didn't plan to contact them again.Layla was pushed out of the ambulance when it arrived at the hospital and had her temperature taken.At home, the temperature taken by Mrs. Cooper did not exceed 38.5 degrees, but now, Layla's temperature had exceeded 40 degrees!The doctor immediately prescrib
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1695
After Layla finished her medicine, the doctor prescribed her some medicine to take when she went back home.When they got home, it was 4:40 in the morning.The villa door was open, and the lights in the living room were bright as day.After Mrs. Cooper coaxed Robert to sleep, she waited in the living room.Seeing Elliot come 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 responded, "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 and murmured in a hoarse voice, "Should I give up Layla's custody?""You love Layla very much, and if Layla lives by your side, you will treat her very well. She's not used to it now; you just need some patience. Though, it will take some time for her to adjus

Mike read the text message he sent several times but didn't understand what he meant.Did he want to give Layla's custody to Avery, or does he want Avery to go back and live with him again?He was somewhat ambiguous in his wordings.Mike lay down on his bed, holding Avery's mobile phone. After hesitating, he texted him back: [Are you willing to give me Layla's custody?]After the message was sent, Mike kept an eye on his phone, waiting for a reply.If Elliot was willing to give Layla's custody to Avery, Mike promised not to hold grudges against Elliot in the future.About ten minutes later, Elliot's messages came back: [Your daughter is ill, I don't think you 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 it that Layla is being sick? It's you! You didn't take good care of her, and you dare to accuse me?]After typing this s

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
