When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 707
“I got hit,” Chelsea said as she began to sob out loud.
“I see.
Was it Elliot?
”
“‘Who else would dare lay a finger on me besides him?
” Chelsea lifted her head up slightly and refused to let her tears fall.
“Do you feel like calling me stupid?
If I hadn’t returned to his side, I wouldn’t be suffering this kind of humiliation today.
”
“What’s the point of regretting it?
People would just look down on you like that.
” Charlie checked the time, then said, “Go home for now.
If you don’t feel like going home, then stay at a hotel nearby.
I’ll book a flight home right away.
”
“I want to give up, Charlie.
” Chelsea was exhausted.
“He almost killed me tonight.
I don’t want to give him anything anymore, even if it’s a single teardrop… He’s not worthy!
”
Charlie teased, “How many times have you said those words before?
You won’t give up until your life is in his hands.
”
“It’s for real this time… He’s got a son now.
He doesn’t need me at all anymore.
”
“Get some rest for now, Chelsea.
” On the phone, Charlie’s tone was calm.
“I came across an important piece of information recently.
I’ll tell you about it when I get back.
”
The next morning, Avery was feeling much better after a good night’s sleep.
The pain had reduced significantly.
After she took her morning medication, Elliot helped her off the bed.
“You don’t need to rush getting out of bed if you’re hurting.
” His heart ached when he saw her wince in pain.
“The earlier I get out of bed, the earlier I’ll recover.
I think I left my phone at home.
Could you get someone to bring it over for me?
” Avery wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible and go see Tammy.
“Has Tammy woken up?
How is she?
I want to talk to her.
”
Elliot held onto her, pondered for a moment, then said, “Her mental state isn’t great right now.
She’s never had to suffer before, after all.
Give her some time, Avery.
The doctor said that she shouldn’t be triggered right now and needs to rest in peace and quiet.
”
“I just want to talk to her.
I won’t reigger her.
” Avery stopped in her tracks, then lifted her gaze at Elliot FKWKES=f said, “Is she severely injured?
Look at me, Elliot!
Don’t le to me!
”
After her surgery the day before, she was so weak and in pain from the wound that she did not follow up on this matter.
“Her body will recover after a period of rest.
Her main issue is her mental state.
I’m not lying.
If you don’t believe me, I can call Tammy’s mother and you can ask her,” Elliot said softly.
“Okay.
Please call her right now,” Avery requested.
Elliot dialed Mary Lynch’s number on his phone in front of Avery,
When the call was answered, he said, “Avery would like to speak to you, Aunt Mary.
”
Then, he handed the phone over to Avery.
Avery took the phone from him, then greeted Mary and asked, “How’s Tammy doing, Aunt Mary?
I’m really worried about her.
”
“She’s doing alright.
She even asked about you after breakfast this morning!
Her mood is very low and she’s unwilling to talk to anyone.
I’ll get her to call you once she’s better,” answered Mary.
“Okay.
Please let me know once she gets better, Aunt Mary.
”
“I will.
You just had a baby, so you should rest well.
I’ll take care of Tammy.
Nobody will pick on her again.
”
“… Aunt Mary, I’m sorry.
I dragged Tammy into this,” Avery said as her eyes began to burn and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Elliot pulled her into his arms and used his long fingers to gently wipe her tears away.
“How could you say that, Avery?
This had nothing to do with you.
You’re Tammy’s best friend, and I hope you will be best friends for life.
Don’t tell these messy things affect
you.
”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Mary.
As long as Tammy doesn’t give up, I will definitely be her best friend for life.
”
The phone call affected Avery’s mood.
She returned to the room and lay in bed.
Her eyes were blank while her thoughts were a chaotic mess.
When Elliot’s phone buzzed, he picked it up and saw a photo of the baby that the doctor had sent.
.
“Take a look at our son, Avery.
” He roughly glanced at the photo, then handed his phone to Avery.
She took the phone and inspected the photo closely.
He finally had some color in him.
Elliot sat by the bed and watched along with her.
“Why does he have a rash on his face?
” Elliot frowned as he zoomed in on the photo.
“It wasn’t there when I went to see him last night.
