When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2536
At four in the afternoon, the show started.The stadium could hold twenty thousand people, and almost every single seat was occupied. Everyone was holding red neon boards.Though Eric's agency did not announce that this would be the last live show of Eric's career, a small group of people still caught the news.After Eric finished performing his first song on stage, the audience erupted into deafening cheers, and Elliot felt as though his eardrums were about to break.He glanced at his family sheepishly, and Avery, who knew that he was afraid of noises, immediately pulled out sound-canceling earmuffs from her purse and put them on Elliot."You are the best, Honey." Elliot felt more at ease."I shouldn't have brought you along," Avery said in resignation."This is just right, Avery. I can hear very little with these.""You are definitely the first person to ever wear sound-canceling earmuffs to a concert." She chuckled."I wanted to be here with you and Layla. Besides, I'm kind

"Throughout the years you've known me, I've always been absorbed in my work and so has she... Oh, I guess I can tell you that she's a doctor," Eric said, before turning his head to signal the staff to start the music.Instantly, the prelude of 'Goodbye' began, and Avery stole a nervous glance at Layla.Layla was shaken and simply stared at the stage in confusion with a frown on her face."Honey, who's Eric's girlfriend?" Elliot had never heard of any mention of Eric's girlfriend."I don't know! He didn't say anything to me.""Oh... Layla, what's wrong?" Elliot noticed the odd look on his daughter's face."Don't ask," Avery said before taking Layla's hands. "Layla, why don't we head home?"Despite the piercing pain in her heart, Layla knew exactly where she was. Not only were her parents next to her, their family friends, and others were around as well. If she lost control, she would embarrass herself and her parents."I'm fine, Mom. It's the last song. Let's listen to it." Layl

"Thank you," Eric said. "There will be dinner later. If it's okay with all of you, we can all go together."Avery glanced at Layla, and without another word, Layla turned and left.Avery and Elliot hurried after her."What's going on?" Ben mumbled. "Eric, are you and Layla fighting?""I'm sorry," Eric said apologetically."She was fine on the way here, and she knew that this was going to be your last concert. Is she angry at you all of a sudden because you started dating?" Ben was smart enough to figure it out on his own."I didn't want to upset her, Mr. Schaffer, but I can't help it," Eric said with resignation."I get it! Go ahead and celebrate!" Ben figured out the truth and left.Once they arrived home, Layla shut herself inside her room.Elliot stared at the table filled with food. He did not have an appetite. "Avery, what on earth did Layla talk to you about the last time she dragged you into her room? Are you two hiding something from me? Eric found himself a girlfriend

Avery could not bring herself to nod when she saw the shaken look on Elliot's face."That happened on the day Layla called you into her room?" Elliot asked."Yeah. Elliot, Layla didn't dare tell you because she didn't want you to get mad, so you should know what to do, right?" Avery said.He breathed heavily and asked, "So what should I do? Avery, tell me."Avery felt troubled. "Just pretend that you don't know anything, alright? Don't go looking for trouble with Eric, and don't try to console Layla. If you go and talk to her, she will feel uncomfortable. The last thing she wants is for you to find out about this.""Am I really that scary?" Elliot struggled to pretend that he did not know anything.Since his daughter had refused to eat because of it, Elliot knew that he was going to lose sleep over it that night.He had spoiled and treasured his baby girl with all he had, and Eric had the audacity to reject her. "How dare that guy do this to my daughter?!" he thought to himsel

The smile on Irene's face disappeared. "Mr. Lucas, I'm done."She did not know Sam all that well, as he had been overseas the entire time and though he would occasionally return home during holidays, he had only come back once a year ever since he entered university.Before Lucas was brought back into the fold of the Woods family, Sam was the one member of the family who was willing to speak to Irene. She usually kept to the back kitchen, and Sam would often enter the kitchen to talk to her."Are you that scared of him, Irene?" Sam sat down on the couch. "Is he mistreating you? I can talk to Father...""Don't say that Mr. Sam. Mr. Lucas has treated me kindly." Irene realized that Sam was trying to divide her and Lucas. Since Lucas was hot-tempered, she did not want to be the person to trigger a fight between the two siblings."Is that so?" he asked suspiciously before turning to look at Lucas. "I heard that you are on bad terms with stepmother and that you had beaten up the second

"Who gave you permission to cook for him as well?" asked Lucas the moment he looked at the food. "Mr. Lucas, I only cooked the portion I usually do," she said gingerly."Send the food to my room," he commanded not wanting to give Sam the chance to eat with him.Not daring to disobey, Irene immediately placed the food onto a tray and started walking toward Lucas's room.Sam had not expected Lucas to go to such lengths to avoid him. Not only was Lucas hot-tempered and selfish, but it looked like he was not all that bright either, or he would not have caused Irene this much trouble. To top it all off, Lucas was also refusing to eat with him.After this interaction, the two siblings had become enemies.Sam stormed out, and when Irene heard the front door slam shut, she opened the door to Lucas' room. "Mr. Lucas, Mr. Sam is gone. Let's just go back to the dining room to eat, or your room is going to smell like food!" she said before hurrying back to the dining room with the food.Ir

When Robert was in Bridgedale, Hayden had taken Robert on a tour around the company and introduced Robert to his employees."The guys around Hayden aren't that old, and I recall seeing a few handsome guys, too," he said. "Sis, why don't you ask Hayden to show you their photos? Maybe you will like them."Layla did not want to continue the subject and turned to her older brother. "Hayden, do you hate women that much? You didn't have to hire only men, did you?""Don't listen to him," Hayden said not wanting to alert his parents. "I am not the one who hired them.""Then there is an issue with your HR. Why are they only hiring men? What are they plotting?" asked Layla."My HR manager is a woman," Hayden said, "don't listen to Robert."Layla turned to look at Robert. "Robert, you look slimmer, too! Is it from fixing cars?"Robert rubbed at his face and muttered, "... Maybe! But I'm certain that I didn't lose as much weight as you.""It's just because I'm tired from working." Layla re

"Even if I date Eric, you can beat him up if he mistreats me!" Layla looked up. "Hayden, there's no point in discussing this. He already has a girlfriend.""Stop crying. You are pathetic." Hayden clenched his fists at the sight of his sister crying."I'm just upset, Hayden. I didn't mind his age, yet he turned me down," she muttered before walking over to hug Hayden. "You all protected me so well as I grew up. I had everything that I asked for, and everyone heeded my every wish. no one has ever turned me down on anything, so I guess... this is the gods' way of telling me that things don't always go my way..."Her tears melted Hayden's heart. "Layla, you will eventually find someone who will cherish you for life.""Before he turned me down, I was so happy whenever I saw him or texted him, Hayden. It wasn't the same type of happiness I experience with family or friends, so I thought that it has to be love." She wiped her tears away on Hayden's shirt and sniffed. "Whatever. I don't wa

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
