Chapter 733
When His Eyes Opened
He picked up his phone and saw a message from an unknown number. He opened the message and
the content came into sight.
âShea is gone. I will do as she asked and scatter her ashes to the sea. Iâm sorry for the pain weâve put
you through. Iâm really sorry. I will give up everything that I own in Aryadelle as my atonement. â
Wesley Brookâ
Eliot gritted his teeth as tears welled up in his eyes.
All his hard work on trying to calm himself for the past few days had all been ruined when he saw the
message.
Shea was dead. She really was gone. She had given up on her life to have Robert.
Elliot had not put so much effort into protecting her throughout the years just so that she could be
someoneâs blood bag.
His fingers began to turn white from how tightly he was holding onto his phone. When the screen
dimmed, he pressed on it again.
He didnât want to accept the reality, but the message was an unforgiving reminder of what had
happened.
.
Meanwhile, in Bridgedale.
Once Avery and Robert settled down, she made a phone call to the family member of Adrian in hope to
arrange a meeting as soon as possible.
His family told her that she was welcome to visit them at their house whenever she had the time, so
Avery handed her child to Mrs. Cooper and headed to the White Family Mansion.She had not looked
into Adrianâs background before, because it was not important; but now, she was intrigued by him.
Upon arriving at the White Family Mansion, Adrianâs sister welcomed her.
âMiss. White, is your family from Bridgedale? Have you been to Aryadelle before?â
Adrianâs sister was slightly taken by surprise.
âMy dad is from Aryadelle and my mom is from Bridgedale.â
âOh⦠What about Adrian? Same as you?â
âDoctor Tate, how is asking about this going to help with the treatment?â Adrianâs sister was apparently
reluctant to mention anything private.
âOf course it would help. We need to know how an illness developed in order to treat it, such as what
happened to the patient prior to him getting sick,â Avery said.
âI will need to get my dad to answer your question, then, because I hardly know much about my
brother,â she said, before calling her father.
After twenty minutes, a man in his fifties appeared before Avery.
Averyâs eyes were caught as soon as she saw the man, who resembled someone she knew.
The man sat down on the couch across Avery. âDoctor Tate, I heard that you would like to know more
about Adrianâs condition. He was born with the illness Iâve taken him to countless famous doctors, but
none of them managed to cure him.â
Avery collected herself and nodded. âAre you born in Aryadelle?â
âYes.â
âWhat about Adrian?â
The man remained silent for a few moments, before saying, âheâs born in Bridgedale. Forgive me,
Doctor Tate, but I canât tell you any more than this. Adrian is a tragedy of our family and weâve been
suffering.â
Avery did not raise any further questions and got up to leave.She had felt odd when she last saw
Adrian and that feeling had strengthened when she saw his father this time.
