Chapter 345 “It’ll be fine. I won’t mention you even if he manages to find me. Don’t worry!” Eric said. “Okay. Make sure to work on your rehabilitation therapy. I’ll be waiting for your comeback.” “I’ll give it my all!”
That evening, Eric received an unexpected guest at his villa in the mountains.
He did not anticipate Elliot Foster to find him so soon.
Elliot arrived with a woman next to him.
“Hello, Eric. I’m sorry for barging in on you,” Elliot said politely. “I’ve looked for you for a long time. I’m afraid it would’ve taken even longer if it weren’t for the video you posted online this morning.”
There were no excess emotions on Eric’s face.
He responded to Elliot in an equally courteous manner and said, “How can I help you, Mr. Foster?”
Elliot glanced at Shea, then said, “There’s a cat over there, Shea. Why don’t you go and take a look?”
Shea walked away to see the cat with the bodyguard.
Elliot withdrew his gaze from Shea and landed his eyes back on Eric.
“She’s my sister. She’s had a mental disability since she was born.”
Eric was taken aback.
“My sister is adorable and kind,” Elliot said in a hoarse voice as tears formed in his eyes. “You would understand what I mean if you know about what she’s been through.”
He handed over a few photos to Eric.
Eric took the photos and saw the photo of a little girl lying on a bed.
She was skin and bones and covered in bruises. It was a ghastly sight!
Eric could not bring himself to look further and put the photos down.
“Do you know how she got hurt?” Elliot said as he put the photos away. “My father beat her. Due to her illness, my father was always ashamed of her and abused her. It’s hard to imagine that she’s been through such dark times after seeing the way she smiled at you earlier, right?”
Eric was affected by Elliot’s words.
“Mr. Foster, are you thinking of asking my doctor to help your sister?”
“That’s right. I’m willing to give up anything as long as it can help my sister’s condition.”.
“My family contacted Professor James Hough after my accident,” Eric explained honestly.” The professor would probably have been the one to operate on me if he did not pass away.”
Elliot raised his eyebrows as he waited for Eric to continue.
“After the professor’s sudden passing, his assistant, Wesley, arranged another doctor for me.”
Eric paused for a moment. In the end, his emotions won over his reason.
“I’m sure you know Miss Avery Tate. She isn’t willing to reveal that she was the one who carried out my surgery.”
Elliot was at a loss for words.
Avery Tate!
How could it be her?
She was a medical student, but she did not have a career in medicine after she graduated.
How was it possible that she could operate on Eric Santos?!
“Miss Tate told me that she had followed Professor Hough’s treatment plan to help me, so she asked me to pay the medical fees to the professor’s family,” Eric added. “Miss Tate doesn’t wish to be bothered. I sympathize with your sister, Mr. Foster, and I hope she recovers soon, but I also hope that you won’t bother Miss Tate.”
“Do you know what relationship I have with the Miss Tate you’re speaking of?” Elliot said sarcastically.
Eric shook his head.
“She’s my ex wife,” Elliot said as his heart ached.
Avery lied to him!
She said that she did not know Eric Santos. Was this what she meant by not knowing him?!
