Chapter 174
When His Eyes Opened
Chapter 174 Ben tugged at Elliotâs arm and they walked toward the emergency exit.
âElliot, you obviously still care for Avery. Why do you always act so irrationally? This, Shea. No matter
how beautiful she is, are you sure she can compare to Avery?â Ben wanted Elliot to wake up to reality.
âNo one is more important than Shea!â Elliot shouted sharply.
âDid Avery divorce you because of this?â Ben asked him.
âYes!â
âIf thatâs the case, Avery is not at fault! What is there for you to be sad about? Itâs you who disappointed
her!â Ben rarely spoke to him this forcefully. âAs your friend, I wonât judge you for who you choose to fall
in love with. I just want you,â
âThen like Avery, you too should leave!â said Elliot, cutting him off. âI donât need outsiders meddling in my
personal affairs!â
He used the word âoutsiderâ.
Ben exhaled heavily.
Forget it!
If he chose to be so obsessed, he would regret it later!
Avery was single now, but it did not mean that she would stay single forever.
.
.
Hopefully, he can continue living a life of no regrets when Avery married another man!
When Avery came home, it was already ten oâclock in the evening.
She opened the childrenâs room door, and Layla immediately raised her little head. âBaby, why havenât
you slept yet?â Avery walked to the bed and touched her daughterâs little head.
âMom! I was playing drones with Hayden today! Itâs fun!â
Layla said excitedly, âUncle Mike sent them.â
âYeah, I saw it. Itâs getting late, baby. Itâs time for you to go to bed.â
Layla said in an affectionate voice, âMom, I was waiting for you to come back and kiss me.â
Avery immediately kissed her daughterâs cheek, âGood night, baby.â
âMom, youâve been drinking!â Laylaâs little hand touched her motherâs cheek.
Avery sighed into her hand. âIâm sorry baby. I forgot. Iâll get a towel and wipe it.â
Layla smiled innocently and cutely, âItâs okay, Mom! You smell nice even after drinking!â
Averyâs heart was instantly warmed.
She went to the bathroom to get a wet towel and wiped her daughterâs cheek.
After her daughter fell asleep, she exited the room.
Back in the master bedroom, she called Mike.
âIâve been waiting for your call! Why did you take so long to call me?â Mike was complaining on the other
side of the phone.
âI had something to do today, and I just came home.â Avery switched on the hands-free mode and placed
her phone on her bed. She walked to her closet and took her pajamas. âIs the drone you sent over a new
product that you developed?â
âYes! Itâs amazing! Its battery life is super-duper long! And it has amazing sensors. Itâs not an
exaggeration to say that itâs a robot!â Mike said excitedly. âOnce itâs listed in Aryadelle, it will definitely
take over the drone market here!â
Avery frowned slightly, âThe team in my company hasnât been established yet! Iâll do it as soon as
possible.â
â know youâve been busy with the divorce these last few days.â
âIt was a success. Also, have you been secretly teaching Hayden how to hack? Iâve seen him using the
computer in my free time. Donât teach him anything bad!â
âHeâs interested in it, so I taught him. I didnât charge you for those lessons, but now you are finding fault
with me.â
âLetâs stop this here. Iâm rather tired.â Avery ended the call and went to the bathroom with her pajamas.
It was one oâclock, and Elliot was at the hospital. He had just gotten yesterday morningâs surveillance
footage.
Maintenance was indeed just a reason to refuse inspection.
He began going through the footage. He really wanted to know who was the one who had sent Shea to
the hospital.
Even if they refused the reward, he just wanted to know the personâs name.
If they were to encounter any troubles in the future, he would offer his aid.
It was three in the morning, and his eyes were sore, and he was tired.
The coffee cup was empty.
There was still an hour of surveillance footage left.
He planned to get some rest after watching the rest of the footage.
Rubbing his brows, he looked at the screen again.
A familiar figure came into view! There were people entering and exiting the hospital, but he could
recognize Avery at a glance!
