Chapter 806
When His Eyes Opened
In Bridgedale, after Mike and Tammy had a few rounds of alcohol, they started to vent to each other.
Tammy said that she was in a lot of pain. She knew that there was no hope with Jun, yet she still could
not forget him.
Thus, Mike spread his hair apart to show her his scar. âI almost died previously. Right when my injuries
were the most serious, my boyfriend dumped me. I think Iâm worse off than you. After all, youâre not the
one that got dumped.â
âOkay, youâre much worse than me. Not only was I not dumped, but I also did not almost die from
sickness.â Tammy raised her glass to him.
âHow did you come out of it?â
Mike took a sip of wine. âI can now say that I am not afraid of death, but when I was almost dying, I was
actually quite afraid. Avery saved me from the brink of death. What I then thought was not that I had
been dumped, but I was still alive. Do you understand the joy of returning from the brink of death?
Hahaha!â
Tammy nodded. âTo be honest, although Iâm in pain and I canât sleep well at night, Iâm still quite
satisfied when I have food. I wonât die just because a relationship doesnât work out. Being alive is quite
good.â
Mike said, âYes! Youâre so pretty, Iâm sure youâll find better men in the future.â
Tammy said, âThank you for drinking with me and comforting me. I feel much better.â
âWeâre friends! Donât mention it! Itâs the New Year. Letâs not be unhappy!â Mike poured her some wine.
Avery took a bottle of fruit juice over and swapped the wine bottle with it.
âDonât drink too much. Youâll get hungover.â Mike immediately handed his glass to Avery.
âIâll listen to you. I still want to watch Laylaâs performance!â
Tammy lifted her cup and downed it. Then, she said to Avery, âAvery, I was too impulsive when we last
fought. I shouldnât have lost my temper at you.â
âLet the past, be the past. You donât have to bring it up again.â Avery saw how Tammy blushed. She
took away her wine glass.
âJust stay over tonight! Didnât you say Aunt Mary has returned to Aryadelle? Thereâs no one to care for
you when you get back home. Iâll be worried.â
âHmm. Hmm.â Tammy burped fumbled around.
âHave I given something to the kids? Whereâs my bag?â
âYour bag is over on the sofa. Have some food first, the gifts can wait.â Avery poured a glass of warm
water for her and placed it in front of her.
âTammy, no matter how painful the past, it will pass. Donât be afraid. I will always be with you.â Tammyâs
reddened eyes sparkled with tears.
âMy mom said the same thing too.â
âBecause it really will pass. Whether itâs a happy thing or a terrible thing, it will all become memories,â
Avery comforted Tammy.
Mrs. Cooper took Averyâs phone over.
âAvery, your phone is ringing.â
Avery accepted her phone from Mrs. Cooper. She saw that it was from Elliot.
It was not a normal call but a video call. She recalled that they have not reconciled yet, why did he
video call her?
She accepted the call. Just when she was about to ask if he was looking for Layla, she realized that he
was lying in bed. His handsome face had a tinge of redness. His eyes were a little in a daze.
He was clearly drunk. She did not think he was calling looking for Layla.
Avery took her phone and headed to her room.
âAvery, Happy New Year.â When Elliot saw her face, he said to her.
Avery entered her room and closed the door shut.
âElliot, are you drunk?â She asked, but she thought that if he was not drunk, he would not have called
her.
Elliot wanted to prove that he was not drunk, so he sat up.
After sitting up, he said hoarsely, âIâm not drunk.â
âOh, how much have you drunk?â Avery also sat down by her bed.
âTwo or three glasses.â Elliot rubbed his temples and said hoarsely, âYou havenât wished me a Happy
New Year.â
