Chapter 485
When His Eyes Opened
Chapter 485 Avery finished tending to Elliotâs wound, then said coldly, âPut your clothes on.â
Elliot put on the t-shirt she gave him, then looked up at her and asked, âCan I ask my question now?â
âWhat is it?â Averyâs expression and tone were icy. âHayden doesnât like you. Donât touch him again. If
something like this ever happens again, just give me a call.â
Elliotâs mind went25 blank.
He really did bring all of this onto himself.
He picked up his torn shirt, stood up and prepared to9c leave.
Avery suddenly felt anxious.
Her feet took an involuntary step forward as she said, âWhat did you want to ask23 me?â
Elliot turned to look at her, then said, âDo you think shea needs to continue her treatment? Iâm worried it
would end up taking a toll on her health if we keep going.â
âIsnât Zoe Sanford Sheaâs doctor?â The moment Avery mentioned Zoeâs name, her reason began to
crumble. âSince you went to her and even paid her an exorbitant medical fee, you should just listen to
herza advice.â
Elliot did not expect his question to hit Avery right where it hurt.
âI wonât bother you with Sheaâs sickness ever again, Avery,â he said emotionlessly as his Adamâs apple
bobbed in his35 throat.
However, Avery saw what looked like a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
âYou should show some basic sincerity if youâre asking a genuine question,â Avery said as she met his
gaze. âYou better keep the truth from me forever! You didnât tell me when I wanted to know about it. By
the time you decide to tell me, I would already not want to hear what you have to say.â
Elliot tightly clenched his ripped shirt, then left in humiliation.
Avery no longer wanted to know about his relationship with Shea.
He was too foolish!
Back when he made his decision, he had ignorantly made one mistake after another.
He chose to hide the truth from Avery all because of his d*mned pride!
Now, however, his pride was worth absolutely nothing to her!
Once Elliot was gone, Avery fell back onto the couch.
She placed her hands on her flushed cheeks as every breath she took hurt her.
Mike and Hayden stood by the stairs and watched the entire fight.
It was not actually a fight.
Elliot did not argue with Avery.
He had not made one wrong move ever since he found out she was pregnant.
What Avery was doing now was equivalent to a âcounter-abuseâ.
However, in the process of hurting Elliot, she was also hurting herself.
Hayden walked over to his motherâs side and hugged her.
âIâm fine, Hayden,â Avery said as she composed herself and hugged her son back. âTell me when you go
to a competition next time, okay? Iâll go and support you.â
Hayden nodded his head.
As the black Rolls-Roice drove out of the Starry River Villa, Elliot did not make his way home.
His mind was in turmoil.
Hayden and Averyâs voices continued to ring in his head, until the two voices were finally interwoven
together and gave him a splitting headache.
Without realizing it, he drove the car to the hospital where Avery got an abortion all those years ago.
He saw in the hospital directorâs office, then lit up a cigarette and asked, âCan you look up abortion
records from five years ago?â
The director quickly nodded and said, âOf course. All I need is the patientâs name. Iâll get my staff to bring
out their file right away!â
The cigarette trembled slightly between Elliotâs fingers, and ash fell onto his slender fingers.
His face was shrouded in a fog of smoke, making him look almost dream-like. He parted his thin lips and
said Averyâs name.
