When His Eyes Opened Chapter 463 by Simple Silence

He strolled towards the living room and stood still to wait for Avery to approach.

“What else do you want to talk about?” She walked towards the stairs, longing to go upstairs to rest.

“Are you going to sleep?” He studied her slim frame and lowered his defense.

“Yeah. We can talk first, though, if that’s what you25 want.”

Avery remained standing by the stairs with the sole intention of staying away from him, as her heart

ached whenever she caught onto his scent. It was so familiar, yet destiny had made it so that their hearts

were miles apart.

“Go to sleep!” He sat down on the couch. “I will leave in agc while.”

“Oh…” She looked away from him and went upstairs.

Elliot stood up from the couch as soon as Avery was upstairs. He finally realized how self centered and

selfish he had been all this while. He had never truly understood what she wanted. He had thought that

he gave her everything he could and blamed her for not accepting him, when the truth was that what he

gave was not what she wanted; and he had never once given her what she truly23 wanted.

After half an hour, Elliot assumed that Avery was asleep and unlocked his phone to call his family doctor.

“Congratulations on becoming a father, Mr. Foster,” the doctorza said.

The hospital that Elliot had taken Avery to was the one where his family doctor worked.

“Is there a way to ease the morning sickness?” Elliot scowled and35 asked.

“No,” the doctor responded, “she will have to make it past it on her own. Usually, the symptoms would

improve when the pregnancy progresses to around twelve to sixteen weeks. Miss. Tate is currently eight-

weeks into her pregnancy, so she should feel better after a month.

“She has lost so much weight that she barely looks human.” Elliot clenched his fists, as his voice

tightened up as well.

“That bad, huh? We can put her on IV if she really can’t eat. She’s a doctor, too, so she should know;

unless she doesn’t want the child…”

“Indeed, she doesn’t want the child.”

“Huh? Why not?”

“He hates me,” Elliot paused briefly, before continuing, “but I won’t let her get rid of the child.”

“Well, women often become more emotional when they are pregnant due to the change in hormones.

Perhaps it’s not that Miss. Tate doesn’t want the child, she is simply in pain and doesn’t know what to do

about it,” the doctor assured, “she will need you to care for her with patience at times like this.”

“She doesn’t want to see me.”

“…If that’s the case, then it’s best that you leave her be for the time being.”

“I can’t do it,” he concluded after thinking it through.

Meanwhile, Avery went upstairs to change into her cotton-made pajamas and laid awake on the bed with

her eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep.

‘He’s still there. I wonder what he’s doing downstairs. I don’t even know what he’s thinking,’ she thought.

‘Did he insist on keeping our child because he wants to be a father, or because he wants me to

compensate for the baby he had with Zoe?’

‘Once the child was born, do I really give it to Elliot? Can he even raise a child? He has such a bad

temper and gets angry easily, so I can’t rest assured knowing that the child is with him.’

Countless thoughts crossed her mind and she felt as though her head was about to explode.

Just then, she heard footsteps approaching from outside the door. Without a doubt, she knew it was

Elliot.

Avery immediately closed her eyes.

The door was pushed open and Elliot strode towards the bed.

She had thought that he only came in to check on her, but he sat down; not only did he sat down, he

then lied down next to her.
