When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 177
It was the best way to avoid Zoe asking for other types of repayment. Giving a large sum of money was the best solution.
Zoe was shocked, “Mr. Foster, please don’t. Shea’s condition needs more than one surgery. You should know that even though her intelligence has improved, it has only improved a little. After she recovers from this operation, if you want to continue giving her the treatment, there may be a second, third, or more operations in the future.”
As Elliot listened to Zoe’s explanation, he kept silent. Zoe was here on her annual leave. She might not have so much time in the future.
“Doctor Sanford, what’s your future plan for your career?” Elliot asked.
Without a doubt, Elliot would want to continue the treatment for Shea. If her IQ could allow her to take care of herself, that would be the best.
Zoe understood why Elliot asked such a question. He wanted to continue treating Shea but Zoe might not have the time to stay in Avonsville in the future.
Zoe answered, “Mr. Foster. To be honest, I am at a stage where I feel lost. I am 34 this year but I haven’t had a relationship, ever. My family is extremely anxious about this. So my career is not the most important factor at the moment.”
As if Zoe had not expressed herself directly, she wanted to be blunt and said to Elliot that he would just need to marry her to repay her or for her to continue treating Zoe.
Elliot frowned.
“Miss Sanford, I can introduce a boyfriend to you,” said Elliot after he hesitated for a moment.
Zoe felt a little disappointed. However, she said with a face, “I didn’t expect you to say such things.”
“Because I need you to continue treating Zoe,” Elliot said frankly, “I will never get married again in my life.”
Zoe looked at Elliot’s handsome face and was attracted by it.
“Mr. Foster, I don’t necessarily need to be married to someone. I think hardly any women who have been in contact with you could easily fall for other men. Why don’t we be together as a couple? Then my family won’t bother me anymore and I can concentrate on studying Shea’s case.” Zoe suggested.
Zoe had discovered Elliot’s weakness and that was Shea’s illness. She wondered since Elliot would spend such a huge amount of money to cure Shea, it was not too much to ask to be Elliot ‘s girlfriend.
Unless Elliot did not want to continue treating Shea. Zoe was forcing him to make a choice. Before Elliot could find another doctor to treat Shea, he could only continue to be threatened by Zoe.
At the Tate Industries, Avery had just finished her morning meeting. She was back in her office when her secretary entered the room.
“President Tate, Mr. Locklyn from Golden Technologies is here to see you. He used to work as the Vice President of our company,” the secretary reported.
Avery did not have a good impression of Shaun. When Tate Industries went bankrupt, Shaun had the nerve to call her specifically and cursed her to hell. Avery strode into the meeting room.
Shaun stood up and walked to Avery, “Avery, it has been a while since I last saw you. You are getting more and more beautiful.”
Avery combed her hair with her finger and put it behind her ear. She said concisely, “Why are you here today?”
Shaun laughed, “You have offered to pay double the salaries in an attempt to recruit all of the former employees back. It has made Tate Industries the talk of the town. I wonder if I can come back too?”
Avery raised her eyebrows and said, “No.”
The smile on Shaun’s face disappeared. He thought Avery would have considered it and not be so frank
“I was just asking for fun. I am doing alright at Golden Technologies,” said Shaun as he tried to recuperate some of his image.
Avery asked, “Then why are you here?”
Shaun stuttered, “I just came to visit.”
Avery mocked, “Do you think Tate Industries is a zoo, or a cafe?”
Shaun got angry and left. Avery went back to her office without being affected by Shaun’s ‘actions. Her phone rang as she sat down and wanted to drink her water. She put down the glass
of water to pick up her phone.
“Avery! Elliot is in a relationship with the doctor!” Tammy said angrily, “I don’t get it. Wasn’t Shea the woman he loved the most? Why is he with another person then?”
