Chapter 734
When His Eyes Opened
Elliotâs words left a deep impression on Averyâs heart. He thought that Robertâs sickness was lifeâs
punishment for him.
As a doctor, Avery could not agree.
Robertâs illness was due to both the premature birth and the fact that his body was weak.
Her entire pregnancy was a rollercoaster ride. She was sick multiple times and had to take all kinds of
drugs. She was also partially responsible for Robertâs condition.
âIâll try to rush back in the next two hours, Avery.â
Elliot decided to book an entire plane once he arrived at the airport.
âDrive safe,â Avery croaked.
âI will. The signal here is pretty bad. Iâm hanging up.â
âOkay.â
Perhaps neither of them realized that, before Robert was born, they had fought over the matter with
Chelsea, and broke things off completely.
Now, all Avery wanted was for Robertâs condition to quickly stabilize. Nothing else was more important
than that.
Moments later, Chad arrived with dinner for her.
âEat something, Avery!â he said. âThe police found some preliminary clues on the headstone.â
Avery raised her brows and asked, âThe police know about that?â
âYes. Mr. Foster asked the police to search the headstone for fingerprints to see where itâs been.â Chad
handed her a glass of water, then continued, âThe police found that the headstone was made in a
family-run workshop on the outskirts of town. The owner is over fifty years old and his son is crippled.
His father is also very old. Heâs usually the one making the headstones while his wife takes care of his
father and their son. There are no surveillance cameras there. They heard from the owner that the
person who ordered the headstone was a man in his thirties who was dressed in relatively casual
clothes. He paid in cash and didnât leave any personal information.â
ââI see. I figured that they wouldnât dare leave information behind. People like that would only do evil
things like this in secret.â
âThe police have started surveilling the area according to the description that the owner gave, âChad
said. âLetâs hope we can find who was behind it! Otherwise, none of us would be able to let this go.â
Avery did not say anything.She had an inkling about who sent the headstone.
It was either Chelsea or.
Both of them had mortal vindictiveness against her.
They must be laughing away seeing her son in critical condition right now.
âIt probably wasnât Chelsea,â Chad said when Avery stayed silent. âSheâs fled the country and
absolutely terrified right now. Iâm sure she wouldnât do something like this to provoke Mr. Foster.â
âIâm the one sheâs provoking,â Avery said, correcting him.
âThe headstone was sent to my house.â
âRobert is Mr. Fosterâs son, though. Playing this kind of sick joke on Robert is waging war against Mr.
Foster. Chelsea definitely wouldnât have the guts to do that.â Chad felt that he knew Chelsea rather
well.
âDidnât they say sheâs got a mental illness? We canât know what someone with a mental illness is
thinking,â Avery mocked as she took a sip of soup.
Chad scratched his head in embarrassment, then said, âLetâs eat! Weâll see if the police can find out
who did it.â
âI feel bad that youâve been dragged into this whole thing with Robert, Chad.â Avery put her spoon
down after barely having a few bites of food.
âYou donât need to come by tomorrow. Itâs the end of the year, so the company should be quite busy,
right?â
Chad explained, âIâm not that busy. Mr. Foster pretty much settled all of this yearâs work before he took
time off. Besides, the vice president and Ben are there. This wonât affect our usual operations.â
Avery listened and nodded her head.
âIf you really canât eat much, then have more soup, Avery! Mrs. Cooper made it,â Chad said.â Your
bodyâs still weak from giving birth. No matter how Robertâs doing, you still need to take care of
yourself.â
Avery picked up her spoon and took a sip of her soup, then asked, âLet me take the liberty to ask you a
question, Chad. Have you ever seen Elliotâs medical reports?â
Chad suddenly froze.She changed the way she asked her question and said, âDo you know how his
health is?â
Chad responded and said, âIâve never seen his medical reports. Thatâs something private, after all.
Although I do have an idea about how his health isâ¦â
