All Chapters of When His Eyes Opened: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Could it be that they had spent all the embezzled money?!How was it possible for them to spend that huge sum of money this quickly?Avery took a deep breath and answered the phone.Before she could say a word, Cassandra screamed from the other end of the line, "Avery! Is the Super Brain program my dad developed with you? Give it to me now!"It sounded like she was crying, and she also sounded terrified. Something snapped inside of Avery."How dare you call me, Cassandra?! Your uncle embezzled Dad's money! Did you know that's a serious crime?! The police are investigating him right now!""What does that have to do with me?! I wasn't the one who took the money! I just want the Super Brain program! Bring it to me right now! You have to get it to me tonight!"Cassandra's voice got louder and more hysterical.Avery's brows furrowed at the sound of the background noise on the phone."Where are you right now, Cassandra?!"Cassandra burst into tears and wailed, "Help, Avery! I'm a

Avery would not hand over what her father had left to her to anyone.She refused to let anybody take it from her.Her words were harsh, but not only was Elliot not scared, but he also found it hilarious."What are you smiling at?" Avery asked when she saw his smile."You," he mocked. "You're self-righteous, arrogant, and you're digging your own grave."Avery could force herself to accept the first two, but what did he mean by her digging her own grave?"Get back to your room! Just looking at you gives me a headache."Elliot's face suddenly darkened, and his voice was low and deep."I didn't do anything. You must have a headache because you're sick," Avery said indifferently. "Don't you have a family doctor? Should I call him?""F*ck off!" Elliot growled through gritted teeth.Avery returned to her room in a terrible mood.She shut her laptop, walked over to the bed, and lay down.She had fallen out of love with Cole a long time ago. If it were not for Cassandra's phone ca

Avery was in the middle of getting an ultrasound at an unknown county hospital."The babies are developing nicely… Come back for an anomaly scan when you reach the five-month mark," said the doctor."Thank you, Doctor," Avery said as she let out a sigh of relief."Don't mention it. I was really close to your mother back in school," the doctor said as she passed a copy of her ultrasound scan to Avery. "She told me that the father doesn't want kids, so you came all the way out here for your checkup… Avery, raising two kids by yourself isn't going to be easy!"Avery took the copy of the scan, smiled, and said, "It's fine. I can do it!""As long as you're prepared.""I'll get out of your hair now. I'll call you again before we come by next time," Avery said, then left the examination room.Laura saw her walk out, then immediately walked up to her and asked, "How are the babies? Is everything alright?""Everything's normal. Are you tired, Mom? I'm exhausted!" Avery said as she yawne

A few words from Elliot were enough to make the defensive walls around Avery's heart crumble. She had left the house at six in the morning and turned off her phone. He could not reach her and came all the way here.If that was the case, was he worried about her?"You must be Elliot," Laura said as she noticed the awkward air in the room. "Avery was having a bad day, so I took her out to relieve some stress. She's fine now. Let me get you something to drink!""Mom!""No, thank you."Avery and Elliot spoke at the same time, making the atmosphere even stranger."He's leaving now, so don't mind him. You should sit down and get some rest," Avery said as she led her mom to the couch.She was subtly kicking out her unwelcome guest.Elliot took the hint and stood up."I'll be going now. I'll come by one day to visit," he said.Laura wanted to send him off, but Avery pulled her back and said, "I'm leaving now, too. Stay at home and rest, Mom."She then got up and trailed behind Ell

The admiration on Chelsea's face instantly vanished into thin air."I can't be one hundred percent sure about this, but I'm at least eighty to ninety percent sure of it," Charlie continued. "I never told you because I was on decent terms with him before. Besides, I figured that his merits could make me overlook this matter."Chelsea felt a chill run through her entire body. It felt like an eternity before her trembling hand managed to bring her glass of wine to her lips."He might be impressive, but he has a huge disadvantage. You shouldn't worship someone like him. If you were to marry him, I'd be worried for your safety," Charlie said indifferently as he cut into his steak."I'm sure he had a reason for doing it… I don't believe that he's a bad guy…" Chelsea mumbled after a moment's silence. "I would know if he was a lost cause. I spent all these years by his side, so I know him like the back of my hand."Charlie chuckled at his sister's gullibility."There was a serial killer
