When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2799
Ten days later, Eric was discharged from the hospital and boarded Elliot's private jet right away to head back to Aryadelle.Once he landed, Elliot had his subordinates send Eric and his parents back to their home.As the car drove away, Elliot tapped Layla on the shoulder. "Let's go! We are heading home as well. Your brother and sister miss you."She sobered and said gloomily, "Dad, he still hasn't agreed to marry me.""There's no point forcing him into it. Let's wait until he gets better!"She scowled and mumbled, "He is so stubborn!""If he wasn't like that, you wouldn't love him so much," Elliot commented.Elliot was right.Layla loved Eric for his talent but also for his character.It was important that two people had a mutual understanding of each other's characters if they wanted a long-term relationship. The two went into the car, and the driver started driving toward Ivy's university.They were going to pick Ivy up and head home together.One hour later, they pick

"Why won't he agree to it? Mom and Dad... agreed, didn't they?"Ivy had thought that everything would be resolved once their parents approved of the relationship."He thinks that he doesn't have much longer to live and doesn't want to drag me down with him," Layla said."Oh... I see! Wasn't the surgery a success?" Ivy asked in confusion. "If it was a success, why wouldn’t he have much longer to live?""The heart transplant was a success, but his body will reject the foreign organ. He will be on medication for the rest of his life to keep that from happening. No one can tell how long he will live. He might live a full life, and he might not."Realization dawned on Ivy, and she instantly understood how difficult the situation was.Ivy naturally wanted Layla to be with the man she loved, but there was always a concern about Eric's physical condition."Layla, you still want to be with him considering all that?" Ivy asked.Layla nodded. "It's just like how you are happy working nigh

Layla handed Robert's phone back to him. "I believe that you were fooled into doing this. If you really want that kind of service, you wouldn't call her here to our house."Robert nodded.Layla sighed. "It's good that we have you in the mix, I guess. It would be boring if all four of us are smart.""I think that's an insult, right?""Yeah. Can you tell?" Layla bit into her vegetables. "You don't have to be so hung up on this, though."Robert beamed."Because I will remember this for you for the rest of our lives!" she added."I guess it's all worth the humiliation if you are that happy about it." Robert chuckled. "Have more meat.""I'm gaining weight, and you want me to have more meat.""You haven't gained any weight at all. The doctors said that having more meat is good for your body," Robert said, before changing the subject. "Should I refer to Eric as my brother-in-law from now on?""Eric hasn't agreed!" Ivy said.Robert was just as shocked as Ivy was."Robert, let's pay

"Oh, don't open them here." Feeling slightly shy about his gift, Robert said to Eric, "Open them inside your room."Eric instantly realized that they might not be ordinary gifts and took them to his room.Layla stared at Robert pointedly. "What did you get him? You never said anything about getting him gifts."Robert cleared his throat and said, "I bought him a DVD." Concerned that she might get the wrong idea, he immediately added, "Just a normal one. He needs to stay home and rest, right? I'm worried that he will get bored.""You are the one who's bored. You can watch basically everything on the internet now, so why would you buy him a DVD? You don't even know if he has a DVD player in his house." Layla kept getting the feeling that it was not an ordinary disc."Layla, I bought him a book about positive thinking," Ivy said.Layla trusted Ivy with all her heart and nodded. "That's great. He has been reading ever since his retirement, and he enjoys reading, so you pick the right

His parents had retired and were more than capable of taking care of him. If he insisted on moving out, it would only worry them."I am searching for a maid now, and once I find one, you will move in with me," Layla said. "I came here today to talk to your parents about it."Eric's expression darkened as Layla did not intend on discussing it with him.Layla said so because she knew that Eric would never agree to it and resorted to talking to his parents instead.Noticing that Eric was upset, Ivy immediately brought Mrs. Santos over. "Mrs. Santos, Layla wants to discuss living arrangements with you."Mrs. Santos nodded and sat down next to Layla. "Where will you take Eric?""I bought a place near my office some time ago. I will take a maid from my dad's house and hire another one to take care of Eric," Layla explained. "You and Mr. Santos are old now, and I don't want you to exhaust yourself. If you want to see Eric, you can always come and visit."Mrs. Santos hesitated.Layla h

Layla helped Eric to his room and closed the door.As soon as the door was closed, Robert and Ivy turned to look at the door."Robert, are they going to fight?" Ivy knew that Eric was not willing to move in with Layla.Eric did not reject the idea right away, but his reluctance could be seen in the look on his face.Robert shook his head without hesitation. "Even if they do fight, we won't hear it. Eric's parents are here and so are we, so they will hold back."I guess, but I think Eric doesn't want to move in with Layla. He looks..." Ivy allowed her words to trail off. Robert shrugged. "That's between the two of them. Even if we want to help, we can't resolve the core issue.""Yeah. Eric looked so cute when he was a child. He looked like a porcelain doll!" Ivy lowered her gaze to focus on the photo album."Indeed. There are a lot of people online that suspect him of undergoing plastic surgery, but if those people can see these photos, they will know that that's not true.""T

The winner will be decided by who caves in first. "Layla, you don't know my condition well enough." Eric could understand how she felt, but he could not allow her to waste her time on him. "I can die at any moment.""I'm not forcing you to marry me right now," she blurted out. "Rest for half a year, and if everything goes well, you will feel much better. If you are fine by then, I will get my parents to plan our wedding. I don't care when you die. So long as you are alive before the wedding, I am marrying you."He lowered his head and did not argue, because there was nothing he could do to change Layla's mind unless he dropped dead at this very moment."Are you really that appalled by the idea of marrying me?" She sat down by the bed and stared at him. "If you are dying, why won't you want to enjoy what time you have left? Why won't you want to make me happy? Do you want to see me upset?"He looked up in shock. Upsetting Layla had never been his intent. "If that's not the case,

"Layla, you are stressing me out, pushing me like this," he said. "I didn't save you simply because it was you. I would have done the same thing even if it was Ivy, Robert, or Hayden in that situation—""I know. You are going to say that you saved me to repay my mom," she interrupted him. "I don't want to marry you because you saved me. I have been wanting to marry you for a while now. Don't think that I'm doing this because I feel guilty. I'm not a fool. If I don't like you, you can save my life ten times more and I still wouldn't marry you."He spotted the determination in her eyes and lowered his head shamefully at her words."If you really think that you don't have much longer to live, spend that time with me!" Layla said. "Just think of it as your last chance to spoil me."In the living room, Ivy and Robert had gone through all the photos and handed the album back to Mr. Santos. "Do you want to see more? We have other albums of him as well," Mr. Santos offered enthusiastical

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
