When His Eyes Opened Chapter 212
Zoe had worn a strappy red dress to the hotel. She pushed open the door to Room V809.The darkness of the room took her by surprise, but she very quickly noticed the flickering of red candles inside.Red candles!Sitting by the candles was a decanter of red wine and some desserts, and on the chair next to the arrangement was a bouquet of red roses.Zoe was melting in the romantic atmosphere.Elliot was unexpectedly sentimental!Zoe was filled with anticipation for what was about to happen that night.As she picked the bouquet of roses, she became intoxicated by the strong floral fragrance.She placed the bouquet back on the chair, then pulled out her phone.It was almost ten o'clock, but why had Elliot not arrived?Was there traffic on the streets?When another fifteen minutes passed with no sign of Elliot, Zoe began to feel anxious.Was he not coming?He could not possibly have painstakingly decorated the room on a whim, right?Or perhaps, did he mistakenly send the text

Zoe's entire body went rigid as she felt her body instantly turn cold.Cole turned to face her, then ridiculed, "I didn't know you were that rough in bed, Dr. Sanford. I'm almost dried out down there…"Zoe finally took a good look at Cole's face.This was not their first meeting.Back when she had burned her hand, Cole was the one who had driven Rosalie over to visit her.Zoe had too much to drink the night before, and the room was lit up with nothing but a few candles, so she did not realize that this man was not Elliot!How could something like this happen?Elliot was the one who had invited her here last night!What was Cole doing here?!"How are you here? Why you?!"Zoe picked up her pillow and repeatedly smacked Cole's face with it. Cole covered his head and cried, "Dr. Sanford! Don't hit me! I don't know what's going on either! I got a text from Avery last night telling me to come to Room V809, so I came! Who knew that you'd hug me the moment I walked in… I tried to l

Hayden pretended not to hear Elliot and ignored him.Hayden's behavior shocked the teacher, who then quickly walked over and said, "Mr. Foster, may I ask why you need Hayden's bag?"These were two individuals that she could not afford to offend.However, after weighing the pros and cons, the teacher decided that the consequences of offending Elliot Foster were graver, and she picked up Hayden's bag from the desk. "Don't be scared, Hayden. Mr. Foster isn't a bad person. He's just worried about you," she said, then handed the bag over to Elliot and said, "He passed the security clearance when he arrived at school. There aren't any dangerous items in there.""I remember he had a laptop with him," Elliot said as he took the bag from the teacher.The bag was light, causing him to raise his brows.When Elliot opened the bag, he found only a change of clothes but no laptop in sight."Oh… Hayden does have a small laptop. He enjoys watching cartoons on it," said the teacher.Elliot pl

Shea nodded without hesitation.It was not like she had never gone to Hayden's house.She actually quite liked it there and wanted to go back again.Seeing his sister's stubborn face made Elliot experience a variety of emotions.Since Hayden had not brought his laptop to school, he was sure that Avery had taken it away from him.He could basically confirm that the lawless hacker was the cool little boy in the flat cap in front of him.Although Hayden was Avery's adopted son, Elliot wanted to teach him a lesson.However, Shea's behavior toward the boy left Elliot in a dilemma.Suddenly, a loud crash pierced through the air, followed by the ear-splitting sound of harsh cursing!The group glanced over to where the commotion came from and saw two people in the middle of a fight.When she faced with the violent scene in front of her, the color drained from Shea's face and terror flooded into her eyes."Ah! Ahhh!"She screamed at the top of her lungs as she covered her ears with

"What did she contact you for?" Avery asked."She said she needed an assistant and asked me to recommend one to her," Wesley said with an expression of irony on his face. Then he laughed and continued, "Guess what her requirements were for picking an assistant? She wanted someone who was Professor Hough's student and whose skills weren't worse off than hers… She might as well have just said that she wanted to find someone who could single-handedly take on Shea's case. As if someone who was better than her would agree to be her assistant! I don't know if she's shameless or just plain stupid."Avery also found the entire thing ironic."She obviously doesn't have the skills for the job, but she insists on sticking around. Elliot Foster isn't an idiot. He'll find the truth out sooner or later," Wesley said. "You're too soft-hearted, Avery. Not many people would treat their own rivals in love.""You wouldn't say that if you met Shea," Avery said with a bland smile."As long as you're n

Zoe was now using Elliot to climb the social ladder. Instead of being an accomplished doctor, she would much rather be at the top of high society.Moreover, she was aware of her own skills, and she knew that she would never reach Professor Hough's level of expertise.There was a limit to how far she could go if she remained in the medical field.Things would be different if she married Elliot.When the time came, she would be the envy of everyone around her.Not long after Elliot sat down in his study, he received a phone call from Ben."Hey, Elliot. How did things at the school go?" "He didn't bring his laptop today. I'm guessing Avery took it away from him.""It looks like it really was Avery's son! Isn't he only four years old? Is he a so-called child prodigy?" Ben said enthusiastically.Elliot did not respond."What do you plan on doing with the kid?" Ben asked.He found the entire thing especially entertaining.It would have been boring if the hacker turned out to b

It was dinner time at Starry River Villa."Avery, Wesley came by to see you this afternoon," Laura said with bright eyes. "He told me that he was going to settle down here in Aryadelle…"Avery figured out what her mother was thinking from the grin on her face."Mom, I know you're hoping I'll find someone to get married to soon, but please don't pull that face while we are in public. Otherwise, people would think I'm desperate for marriage!" Avery pleaded. "I'm still in my twenties. I'm still young! This is the time I should be focusing on my career. Once I'm successful, men will be lining up to marry me."The smile on Laura's face vanished."I'm not pestering you… I just really think that Wesley's a great man. He took care of you the whole time you were abroad! Don't you see how well he treats you?""Am I supposed to marry anyone who's good to me? In that case, Professor Hough was good to me, too!""Fine! Keep acting blind! Wesley really is a good man. You might never find someo

That afternoon, Ben showed Elliot a photo of Avery and Wesley together."Avery's new boyfriend."Elliot glanced at the picture, and his eyes darkened as he asked, "Isn't that Professor Hough's assistant?"He took Ben's phone from his hand and zoomed in."Do you know this man?" Ben asked as his interest rose. "Rumor has it that Avery took him around Tate Industries all afternoon. They were walking side by side, chatting and laughing with each other. They looked especially close to each other!"Elliot passed the phone back to Ben and said, "I know him.""Oh. I think they look pretty good together," Ben said deliberately when he saw Elliot's expressionless face. "One has a gentle aura, while the other is elegant—"Elliot looked up and shot a cold look at Ben."You never have anything nice to say, do you?""I'm innocent! It's just that, looking at the jewel you picked for Avery makes me think you still have some love for her," Ben teased. "You didn't want to give her a necklace, e

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
