When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2486
Twelve years had passed, and Taronia was experiencing an exceptionally harsh and unforgiving winter. The doctor had come to give the old woman an injection, but her skin no longer allowed him to find her veins. He shook his head at Irene before leaving.Tears rolled down Irene's face as she watched the doctor leave."Irene..." murmured the old woman weakly.Irene swiftly wiped her tears away and calmed herself before turning around and heading back to bed."Don't be afraid, Grandma. The doctor forgot to bring the medicine. He is heading back to the clinic to take it." Irene did not want the old woman to worry.The old woman had been bedridden and ill ever since she had tripped and fallen a year ago. Had Irene not tended to her carefully, she would have passed away a long time ago. After a year of fighting to survive, the old lady felt weak and weary. She had no energy left to continue the fight. She had been unable to eat for three months and had wasted away. She had become a

The old woman's last words echoed in her mind, followed by her devastated cries....Two days later, Irene arrived at the Woods' mansion after settling the old woman's funeral.Ever since the old woman had fallen sick, Irene had been working in the kitchen of the Woods family's mansion.The money that the old woman earned each month was sufficient to support Irene through college. Being the grateful child she was, Irene would help with chores in the Woods' mansion whenever she had time. This was after the old woman had secured a job in the mansion. All the servants in the mansion knew Irene and took rather good care of her."Irene, how's your grandma? Are you still going to work here? The butler asked about her yesterday!" a servant who knew Irene asked."Mrs. Flores, my grandma has passed away," Irene muttered while lowering her gaze."Oh, dear! Perhaps it's better that way. You will exhaust yourself, working between jobs while balancing school as you take care of your grandm

"Irene, what are you doing standing there? Come help! We are welcoming another young master into this house. The butler is bound to have chores for you," Mrs. Flores yelled.Irene set her purse down and hurried over.An hour passed, and Mr. Woods' car pulled up outside the mansion. Shortly after, he entered the house, and the argument that took place between Mr. and Mrs. Woods echoed throughout the living room. "Lucas is my son. His mom has abandoned him, and I can't just let him die!" Mr. Woods roared. "I am sending him to the South Block precisely because I don't want you to throw a tantrum! If you still can't take it, get out of here!"Stunned, all the frustration boiling within Mrs. Woods turned into tears. She could never leave the Woods family while all her children were here. This was her home."Why would his mother abandon him after raising him all these years? Why is she sending him here now? It is surely all a part of her plan to get a share of the money!" sneered Mrs.

The dog seemed to be terrified once it had a clear look at Irene's face."Don't be scared, doggie. I won't hurt you." She took a deep breath and attempted to soothe the dog enough that it would let her pass. "I'm just here to work. Let's be good friends. I will feed you delicious food every day!"She tossed a piece of bread over and the dog caught it in the air.With her heart racing, she entered the block quickly and saw a tall, slender man standing in the living room. He was about 1.8 meters tall, so Irene needed to look up to see his face.The heater in the living room had not been turned on so it was freezing, but the man was only wearing a green jacket.This was the illegitimate child that Mr. Woods had brought home, Lucas Woods.As Irene gazed at him, he looked her up and down as well and froze when he saw the scar on her face, just like the dog in the yard did."Mr. Lucas. Hello. My- My name is Irene. I... I am turning eighteen this year. I might be young, but I work fast

That afternoon, after Lucas retired to his room, Irene returned to the kitchen in the main block. "How was it, Irene? Did he bully you? Did that dog bite you?" Mrs. Flores asked."Mr. Lucas said I'm a poorer cook than him and that he won't let me work there anymore if I don't improve my cooking by tomorrow," Irene said gloomily. "The dog is fine. It didn't bite me.""Don't worry, Irene. I'll teach you a few recipes. I promise that you will be okay by tomorrow night.""Thank you, Mrs. Flores." Irene got back on her feet right away. "Mrs. Flores, I think that Mr. Lucas isn't that bad of a person. He didn't call me ugly. Though he complained about my cooking, he still finished everything.""Maybe was very hungry. It's surprising that he didn't call you ugly, though.""I'm surprised, too. Which is why I have to do my job well and clear my debt."Mrs. Flores was instantly overwhelmed by emotions when she saw the bright smile on Irene's face. "Is it okay to not go attend your univers

Irene hurried to the dog and touched its body. It was cold to the touch. It reminded her of her grandmother as she lay dead in her bed. Irene broke down in tears.Her crying woke Lucas up, and he opened the door in shock. He had a thin jacket slung across his shoulder. When he saw the scene in the yard, his expression darkened. His dog had been with him since he was six, and Lucas had not expected that someone would poison his dog on the first day at the mansion. Mr. Woods sat slumped in his chair while Mrs. Woods stared at the boy in front of her with contempt."I was the one who told them to poison it! It's worth nothing. What does it matter if it is dead? What are you trying to do, presenting yourself before us? Mrs. Woods looked at Lucas mockingly. "Besides, I've discussed the matter with your father before I had the dog put down. No mutts are allowed here!" "It's my dog, not a mutt!" Lucas clenched his fists and glared at her resentfully."Lucas, your dog didn't stop bark

Mrs. Woods had lost her appetite when she was informed of Lucas' return. "That b*st*rd! Here I thought that he is a proud kid! He said that he would never forgive his father yesterday, and I thought he would never return. Who knew that he would not last one day before crawling back here? What a joke!""Don't get mad, Mom. He's just an illegitimate child! Living in the South Block is already an insult, but he is probably foolish enough to think that it's a privilege! He is the type of person who knows no shame, and probably, does not have the wit to accomplish anything. He said that Dad begged him to come here. We don't have to stir up a conflict with him. At least, not on the surface," said Noah, the eldest son of the Woods family. "We shouldn't risk angering Dad over him.""You are right, Noah. Fighting with your dad won't change the fact that Lucas has become a member of this family. I will just hatch my plots in the dark, and soon, your dad will start to look down on him. That w

She pursed her lips and quieted down."Keep going." He stared at her angrily.After holding her breath for a few seconds, she said, "You shouldn't have left without telling me where you were going. I thought something happened to you when I couldn't find you this morning.""You were asleep like a pig when I left."She blushed. "I thought you said that you are never coming back here yesterday? Have you forgiven your dad? If I was you, I wouldn't calm down so quickly and would probably stay outside for a few more days.""... Who said that I've calmed down?"Irene was instantly rendered speechless.Just then, she spotted a figure approaching them. "Mr. Lucas, your dad is here," she said to him before heading to the kitchen with the dirty dishes.Mr. Woods had just woken up and came after hearing that Lucas had returned."I'm glad that you came to your senses, Lucas. I thought you had gone back to your mom!" Mr. Woods walked into the living room and pulled out a card from his pock

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
