Chapter 158
When His Eyes Opened
Avery rushed back home after the phone call.
She could not imagine how her son could have brought home a woman!
Hayden would usually ignore strangers.
He would never bring someone home.
So, who exactly was that woman?
What had she done to change Hayden?!
Avery arrived home. She saw the womanâ¦
She instantly lost her breath!
âAvery, youâre back!â Laura walked to the door. She noticed how pale her daughter was, and the
harshness of her breath. Laura quickly grabbed Lauraâs arm. âWhatâs wrong? Why do you look so ill?â
Avery was staring at Shea as if she could see through her soul!
The woman with the hime haircut and the pink puffy dress had always been on her mind!
She did not expect to see her in real life!
Most unexpected was that her son had brought her home!
How had that happened?
What was her goal?
Was she there for Elliot?
Avery had a headache.
She could not figure out what was happening because she had divorced Elliot!
She would never talk to Elliot again!
That woman did not have to show up!
âMom, go to your room! I want to talk to her alone!â Avery told her mother.
Laura could tell she knew that woman.
She could also tell that they did not get along.
However, she did not understand why her daughter held a grudge against a mentally disabled person.
Was she that vengeful? Laura looked at them with mixed emotions before she went to her room.
She did not wish for the
However, she did not know who to help.
Avery walked toward Shea after Laura left.
She was tense, and she looked angry.
âWhy did you approach my son? What the hell do you want?! Elliot and I have divorced! From today on, I
have nothing to do with him! Do you want to harm my child? I wonât have mercy on you if you dare touch
my child!â
As Avery issued her warning, she began to calm down.
The woman in front of her looked scared.
Her eyes were full of tears. Then, she wailed loudly.
The sound of a childlike sobbing filled the room!
Children sobbed differently from adults.
Adults cried in a more subtle manner. However, children cried in a primal instinctual way.
The woman in front of her cried without a care in the world.
She looked pitiful, mistreated, and helpless.
She sobbed and walked toward the bedroom.
Avery was very confused.
What was going on?
This woman was behaving strangely!
Avery followed her.
âWhy are you crying? Answer me. Why are you talking to my son? Why are you in my house? Speak!â
Avery sounded calmer. She was trying to be reasonable. âDidnât you come to my house to look for me?
Iâm here now. What do you want to say to me? Say it!â
Laura opened the door.
âAvery, she doesnât understand what youâre saying!â Laura walked out. Shea instantly hid behind her.
She peeped at Avery with a frightened look.
Avery was troubled. She asked casually, âDid I speak in an alien language? Or is she mentally
challenged?â
âYes! She is mentally challenged. She doesnât understand a word Iâm saying either! She kept shaking her
head!â Laura sighed and said, âHayden said someone wants to hurt her, so he brought her back. He
wants you to cure her.â Avery was speechless.
