When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2745
Ivy opened her eyes and found herself on a bed and saw Robert next to her. "Robert. Robert! Why am I sleeping here? Where is Mom? What time is it?""It's nine. You were probably exhausted from watching over Mom and fell asleep next to her last night," Robert said. "So I booked another room for you to sleep in.""Has Mom woken up?" Ivy sat up, feeling more energized after sleeping. As soon as she mentioned her mother, she was reminded of Eric and Layla. "What about Layla and Uncle Eric? How are they?""Layla has stabilized but hasn't woken up. As for Uncle Eric... he isn't dead but is still in critical condition. The hospital does not have the ability to treat him… so Hayden has arranged for him to be sent to Bridgedale, and he accompanied Uncle Eric. Uncle Eric saved Layla's life, after all, so I'm sure Hayden is desperately trying to help Uncle Eric as well..."Ivy sighed a breath of relief, feeling glad that the two of them were alive."Mom woke up at seven this morning and went

Tears instantly rolled down her cheek and it was a while before she could make a sound. "Don't cry, Honey. Eric isn't dead. He is alive for now." Avery immediately grabbed Layla's hand. "I know that you are in shock now, but it's all over now. It's in the past."Layla held onto her mother's hand, unable to stop her tears.Elliot walked over and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry, Layla. We are doing everything we can to save Eric. You are not to blame for this, so don't you blame yourself. Don't feel guilty about this." Despite his effort, Layla's tears simply kept falling."I was the one... who got him into this..." Layla pushed Elliot's hand away. "If only I hadn't called him here, he wouldn't be in this... Mom, Dad, I killed him..."Elliot and Avery stood by the bed, not knowing what to say when they saw how heartbroken their daughter was because they knew that nothing they said could convince Layla that what happened to Eric was not her fault.They understood how she had reach

"Dad, can I go in to stay with Layla?" Ivy wanted to be there the moment Layla woke up. Elliot nodded. "Ivy, your mother thinks that we are in the wrong. If only we had agreed to them dating, they would have never ended up here, nor would they have been in the disaster…""No one is wrong here, Dad," Ivy said. "If everyone can predict what happens next, there will be no accidents or disasters."Elliot was comforted by her words."Dad, it's your responsibility to guide us and help us make the right decisions, and even if you have it wrong sometimes, we won't blame you because no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. You are a great father to me, Dad."Elliot pulled her into his arms. "Ivy, I'm so grateful for how understanding you are.""Dad, Layla won't be mad at you either," Ivy said confidently. "She told me that she loves you and Mom a lot, so don't beat yourself up.""Okay. Go in!" Elliot let her go. "Once Layla wakes up, you can chat with her for a bit if she is up to it

Toward the end, Layla was sobbing so hard that she could no longer speak, and Ivy immediately wiped away her tears with a tissue. "Don't cry, Layla. You are both fine... you are both alive! You will soon be discharged, and Uncle Eric is going to get better," Ivy said. "This kind of disaster won't happen again. Once Uncle Eric gets better, our parents won't be opposed to the idea of you marrying him anymore.""Ivy, I don't think he's in that good a state..." Layla had been with Eric the entire time, and she knew how close to death Eric was. "He gave me his jacket and was only wearing a really thin sweater. It was so cold, and he was wearing so little. He never intended to survive and told me that it would take some time for rescue to come, so I needed to survive until then..."Ivy started sobbing as well. "Layla, I thought that Uncle Eric was a great person, but after what happened, I realize he is so much more than that. He has a tender heart and a beautiful soul. Once he recovers,

ECMO stood for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and it was a machine that was designed to be used on patients suffering from severe dysfunction of their hearts and lungs.When the patient's lungs and heart could no longer function independently, the doctor would use an ECMO machine to help the patient circulate their blood and air. The machine was meant to take the place of the heart and lungs. It helps keep the patient alive, but since it is an extremely expensive procedure, ordinary people would never be able to afford it.Though Eric did not have to worry about the cost of such treatment, the treatment itself would be a challenging ordeal. The machine could be used to ensure the patient stayed alive, but he would not be able to open his eyes or talk like a living person if he were to rely on that machine. Eric would be no better than a copse, and if Layla had known that, she would definitely have broken down. Ivy looked up the term and fell silent after reading the descr

Layla turned to Ivy. "Ivy, go home! You've already wasted a lot of time staying by my side.""I can always get a tutor afterward, Layla. I want to stay with you.""I'm better now," Layla said and glanced at Robert. "Robert, take Ivy back. The two of you need to go back to school.""Let us stay with you for a few more days!" Robert said."I'm fine. Besides, I have Mom, Dad, and Hayden with me.""Fine!" Robert said in resignation. "But we are still coming to Bridgedale with you because I want to see Uncle Eric."Layla did not argue further.The four boarded a private jet and arrived at Bridgedale ten hours later.Once they arrived at Avery's house, she grabbed Layla by the arm and studied her up and down."Mom, I'm really fine. I felt weak at first, but they dripped me for three days in a row, so I'm much better now," Layla said. "How is Eric doing, Mom?"Knowing that Layla would ask about Eric, Avery had already prepared her answer ahead of time. "He needs a new heart and lung

"You and Ivy are going back on the private jet, and I'm staying here with Layla. Remember to keep an eye on Ivy once you get home. I don't know when I can come back," Elliot said.Ivy was standing next to them as Elliot spoke to Robert."I will take good care of Ivy," Robert promised."Go to sleep and head back tomorrow!" Considering how long they had spent on the plane, Elliot said, "Call me if anything happens. Do not make the call without consulting me.""I know, Dad."Elliot then turned to Ivy and said, "Ivy, don't worry about a thing and focus on your studies. Once things start to look up over here, we will come home."Ivy nodded and said, "Did the doctor tell us to hire a psychologist for Layla?""We will talk to Layla about this. Your mom will talk to her."Ivy nodded. "Dad, you have gray hair." Ivy was standing close to Elliot and could see everything.Elliot knew it but did not mind.Avery walked over and ran her fingers through his hair. "I will buy hair dye tomorro

Mike burst out laughing. "It's probably the same concept as polishing a shoe.""Dyeing someone's hair is definitely going to be more difficult than that," Chad said. "But Avery is a smart woman so she should be alright as long as she followed the instructions."Elliot shuddered."Mom, why don't you just take Dad to a salon? Your hands might get dirty," Hayden suggested.Hayden had always been skillful with his words when he wanted to be. He was concerned that Avery would fail but simply said that he did not want Avery to get her hands dirty."Your mom wants to do it for your dad. Don't you know what this is?" Mike threw his arm around Hayden's shoulders and said, "It's called 'spicing things up'. You don't have a girlfriend, so you won't understand."Hayden responded to his sarcasm with silence."It's getting late, so Chad and I will leave now," Mike blurted out before Hayden had the chance to retort.Avery saw them out the door and returned to the house before asking Hayden, "

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
