Chapter 303
When His Eyes Opened
Avery came out of Lauraâs room.
When Mike saw her, he thought he saw a ghost. She had not seen daylight for the past few days. She
looked pale and weary. On top of that, she had barely eaten anything. She looked emaciated.
When the children saw her, they were stunned too. Avery turned and entered her room. Mike
immediately chased after her. âAvery, donât tell me youâre going to work?â Mike guessed.
Avery took out a set of clothes from her closet and headed to the bathroom. âYou stay at home with the
kids. Iâll head to the office and have a look.â âOh, so Iâll stay at home and look after the kids in the
future?â Mike asked.
Avery shook her head. âIâll hire bodyguards.â
âShouldnât it be nannies?â
âNo need.â Avery planned to care for all her childrenâs needs herself. The bodyguards only needed to
send the children to school and pick them up from school, ensuring their safety. That was enough.
âBy the way, I heard that Lauraâs accident was not an ordinary accident but murder,â Mike said. âGo to
the police station and ask about it later.â Averyâs eyes darkened. Her voice sounded tight. âWho told you
that?â âChad,â Mike said. âHe said that Elliot sent his men to investigate the perpetrator. They found out
quite a lot.â The peace that Avery felt was crushed.
If it was murder, she did not need to pause for a second to think of a suspect Other than Wanda, who
else could it be?
Avery had just left when Tammyâs car pulled in. Mike passed the children to Tammy. âTammy, please help
look after the kids. Something is off about Avery today. I must go look for her!â Mike said, then he took
the car keys and bolted. When Mike arrived at the police station, Avery had just come out from it.
âAvery!â Mike got down from the car and ran toward her. It was as if Avery has lost her soul. She did not
hear Mike.
She got in the car, started the engine, and quickly left.
Mike saw her car passing him by. He placed his hands on his hips and sighed.
Averyâs vision was getting blurry as she drove. Sure enough! It was not an accident! It was murder! She
initially thought it was Wanda, but the police told her that currently, the evidence showed that it was
James who had hired the killer
James had transferred the money from his account into the perpetratorâs account. James himself had
also confessed to murder.
How comical! How ridiculous! He was in prison. How could he have hired a murderer? Moreover, he was
about to be executed!
One could not be hung a second time for killing another person. It was a perfect plan. Tears fell from
Averyâs eyes. All this was Wandaâs doing! As all the evidence pointed to James, Wanda would not be in
any trouble.
An hour later, Avery and Wanda met in a cafe. âAvery, I never would have thought your motherâs death
would take such a toll on you. Look a t how haggard you look,â Wanda looked at Averyâs face and said
insincerely, âI hope you get better soon. After all, many terrible things are waiting for you in the future.â
Wanda picked up the cup of coffee and elegantly took a sip. âBy the way, I forgot to tell you,â Wanda
continued to say with a smile, âMy current boyfriend is Zoeâs father. Zoe is now pregnant with Elliotâs
child. Soon, they will get married. In the future, Elliot and I will be considered family too.â
