Chapter 404
When His Eyes Opened
The red button was an alarm button. It was connected to Mike. If Hayden pressed the button. it would
send Mike his location. Mike would also call the police if he pressed the button.If Hayden had not been
forced to act, he would not have gone up against Elliot! Elliot made him do it.
âHaydenâ¦â After Avery was in bed, she anxiously called out to him.
Hayden immediately came over to her bed and held her hand. âMommy, donât be afraid, Iâm here.â
Avery looked anxious and said to him, âHayden, I canât really move right now. Iâll return home once Iâm
better. When Elliot comes by later, Iâll get him to arrange for a driver to send you home. You have to be
good and listenâ
Hayden frowned. âMommy, donât ask him for help! I want to go back home with you! I promised Layla
that I would bring you home!â
âI canât move right now,â
âIâve already called the police. They will bring us home.â
Averyâs brows fluttered. She looked behind Hayden. Elliot was standing by the door!
He had overheard what Hayden had said a moment ago. Avery immediately pulled Hayden closer to
her. Hayden did not understand Averyâs reaction, he looked behind him in the direction in which his
mother was looking at.
When he saw Elliotâs cold face, Hayden said loudly, as if he was afraid that no one would hear him,
âIâve called the police!â
âHayden, stop talking!â Avery was afraid that Hayden would aggravate Elliot.
The bruise on Haydenâs neck constantly reminded her that she could not be reckless before leaving
this place! She could die here, but she could not let Hayden die here!
Elliot entered with a darkened expression.
âDonât you dare test my patience!â He looked at Haydenâs face and said slowly and clearly,â Leave! If
not, Iâll throw you in the forest to feed the wolves!
Averyâs breathing turned heavy. âElliot! He is only a five-year-old child! Why are you so violent with
children!â
âI donât like children! Especially this son that you adopted! I hate him the most!â
âHe is only worried about me, so he came looking for me! If that is wrong, then itâs my fault!â Avery
choked and sobbed, âSend someone to send him home! Iâve already spoken to him. He wonât come
again!â
âDidnât he call the police? The police will naturally send him home!â Elliot said coldly. He turned to look
at Hayden.
âThe fire at the back of the hill. You did it, right?â Hayden looked up.
âYes!â
âHeh! Even if you didnât die by my hands today, youâll be in prison in the future!â said Elliot before he
left.
The doctor hid in the corner, not daring to say a single word.
After Elliot had left, he approached them with a bottle of medicine.
âMiss Tate, is this your son?â The doctor was trying hard to find something to talk about. "How amazing!
He could actually come all the way here.â
Avery took a deep breath and said, âDoctor, please help treat the bruises on his neck, thank you.â
Then only the doctor noticed the bruises on Haydenâs neck.
âOh, okay. How did this happen?â
Avery did not reply. Hayden also pursed his lips, looking cold.
The doctor coughed dryly. âKid, I can see that you hate Mr. Foster, but he wonât hurt your mother. The
injury on your motherâs leg was because a wolf bit her in the forest.â
âThen, what about her forehead?â Hayden asked.
Before the doctor could reply, Avery said, âHayden, I did it to myself.â
She did not want to intensify the resentment between Hayden and Elliot. Hayden did not have the
power to fight back at that moment. Offending Elliot would only get him killed.
