Chapter 345
When His Eyes Opened
Chapter 345 âItâll be fine. I wonât mention you even if he manages to find me. Donât worry!â Eric said.
âOkay. Make sure to work on your rehabilitation therapy. Iâll be waiting for your comeback.â âIâll give it my
all!â
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.
âHello, Eric. Iâm sorry for barging in on you,â Elliot said politely. âIâve looked for you for a long time. Iâm
afraid it wouldâve taken even longer if it werenât for the video you posted online this morning.â
There were no excess emotions on Ericâs face.
He responded to Elliot in an equally courteous manner and said, âHow can I help you, Mr. Foster?â
Elliot glanced at Shea, then said, âThereâs a cat over there, Shea. Why donât you go and take a look?â
Shea walked away to see the cat with the bodyguard.
Elliot withdrew his gaze from Shea and landed his eyes back on Eric.
âSheâs my sister. Sheâs had a mental disability since she was born.â
Eric was taken aback.
âMy sister is adorable and kind,â Elliot said in a hoarse voice as tears formed in his eyes. âYou would
understand what I mean if you know about what sheâs been through.â
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.
âDo you know how she got hurt?â Elliot said as he put the photos away. âMy father beat her. Due to her
illness, my father was always ashamed of her and abused her. Itâs hard to imagine that sheâs been
through such dark times after seeing the way she smiled at you earlier, right?â
Eric was affected by Elliotâs words.
âMr. Foster, are you thinking of asking my doctor to help your sister?â
âThatâs right. Iâm willing to give up anything as long as it can help my sisterâs condition.â.
âMy family contacted Professor James Hough after my accident,â Eric explained honestly.â The professor
would probably have been the one to operate on me if he did not pass away.â
Elliot raised his eyebrows as he waited for Eric to continue.
âAfter the professorâs sudden passing, his assistant, Wesley, arranged another doctor for me.â
Eric paused for a moment. In the end, his emotions won over his reason.
âIâm sure you know Miss Avery Tate. She isnât willing to reveal that she was the one who carried out my
surgery.â
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?!
âMiss Tate told me that she had followed Professor Houghâs treatment plan to help me, so she asked me
to pay the medical fees to the professorâs family,â Eric added. âMiss Tate doesnât wish to be bothered. I
sympathize with your sister, Mr. Foster, and I hope she recovers soon, but I also hope that you wonât
bother Miss Tate.â
âDo you know what relationship I have with the Miss Tate youâre speaking of?â Elliot said sarcastically.
Eric shook his head.
âSheâs my ex wife,â 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?!
