Chapter 627
When His Eyes Opened
Zoe shook her head. âI didnât see it, because when I came to my senses, my eyes had already been
gouged! Itâs so painful I want to die! I heard Avery say that this is what I deserve. I heard it clearly! Elliot, I
wonât lie to you! I already have nothing right now! I canât lie to you!â
âHer voice?â Elliot was stunned. âAre you sure you didnât mishear?â
âImpossible! Iâm not mistaken, because I hate her too much!â Zoe gripped Elliotâs hands tightly as if she
was holding onto a lifeboat. âElliot, I wonât dare to lie to you! If I were to lie to you, you would be able to
find out immediately! I beg you. I beg of you. We once had a relationship together, please have pity on
meâ¦â
Elliot looked at Zoeâs quivering lips and pale face. His heart was extremely heavy.
His instincts told him that Zoe was not lying, yet another voice in his mind kept reminding him that Avery
would not do such a thing!
âZoe, Iâll look into it, âElliot promised, âBut before we get to the bottom of it, rest more and
get well soon.â
Zoe shook her head. âNoâ¦I wonât live anymore. Iâll wait for my father to come, and Iâll return with him to
Bridgedale. I will get my friend to help euthanize me. I canât accept that I have turned into a blind person.
Heheheâ¦â Zoe laughed amidst crying.
âNo matter what you find out, it means nothing to me, because I truly heard Averyâs voice! Sheâs the
murderer! There could not be any other outcomes!â Zoe choked up and said, âIâll wait for her incd hell!â
Coming out of the hospital, it was already dark. It was drizzling too.
The bodyguard stood next to Elliot with ange umbrella.
After getting in the car, the bodyguard asked, âMr. Foster, where to?â
Elliotâs jaw tightened. His voice was cold. âStarry River Villa.â
Zoe only hoped for death at that moment. She did not even want the child in her anymore. He had to
look for Avery to ask if she was the one that did it.
It was best if it was not her. If it was her, why did she have to be so cruel?
At the Starry River Villa, Avery was lying in bed, flipping through a medical book.
The children were not home. Mike would only be back later that night. The entire house was strangely
quiet.
The wind outside was howling, Avery closed the book distractedly and looked out of the window.
Looking at the rain pitter-pattering on her window, she immediately got out of bed and checked if the
other windows in the villa had been properly shut.
When she was downstairs, a set of headlights shone through the window, which pierced her eyes.
Was Mike back already?
Avery walked to the door and opened it. A black Rolls-Roice entered her sight.
Why was Elliot there?
Avery opened the door, at the same time pressing the button that opens the gate in front of the
courtyard.
Elliot got out of the car. He did not let his bodyguard shelter him with the umbrella. He strode over to her
under the rain.
Looking at his darkened expressions under the streetlights, a bad feeling rose in her heart.
She did not know what had happened, she could not guess it either. Just when her mind was in a mess,
Elliot was already in front of her.
âWhy did you not use an umbrella?â Avery looked at his wet face and clothes. She asked worryingly,
âWhat happened?â
âZoe was the one that looked for you yesterday morning, right?â Elliot stood by the door. He did not
change his shoes nor enter the house. His sharp gaze focused on Averyâs face.
Avery hated this look of his. âIâve already said itâs a small matterâ¦â
âHer eyes have been gouged. She said that you did it.â Elliot interrupted her. He said anxiously, âAvery,
tell me. Did you do it?â
