Chapter 754
When His Eyes Opened
Elliot decided the night before that he was going to take revenge for his mother.
If the one who killed her was his brother, then he would kill Henry. If it was Cole, then he would kill
him.It did not matter who begged for their lives.
His fingers tightened around the gun as he aimed it at Cole. He began to count in his head," One, two,
threeâ¦"
A bang echoed through the entire mansion as a bullet shot in Coleâs direction!
Cole was so terrified that he forgot to scream.
All he saw was a black silhouette flash before his eyes. Immediately after, this silhouette let out a blood
curdling cry.
Cole watched as his mother fell into his arms, and saw the blood oozing from the corner of her lips!He
realized that his mother had taken the bullet for him!
"Mom! Mom!" Cole wailed in agony as he held his mother in his arms.
Downstairs, Henry witnessed the entire thing and instantly rushed up the stairs.
"Olivia! Olivia! You canât die, Olivia! Iâll take you to the hospital! Iâll take you there right away!
Henry made it up the stairs and grabbed his wife from his sonâs arms.As he carried Olivia down the
stairs, Cole trailed along behind them.
When they walked past Elliot, not only did they not stop in their tracks, but they also quickened their
steps.
Elliot was still holding the gun in his hand.
The one he wanted to kill was Cole. What if he did not give up until he achieved that goal?
Elliot was different from everyone else in their family. He was more cold-hearted than any of them.
This was precisely why they all feared him.
"He left, Sir," said the bodyguard to Elliot.
"Should I go get Cole Foster back?"
Elliot glanced at the trail of blood on the floor, then said coldly, "A life for a life."
Since Coleâs mother took his punishment in his place, this matter was settled for now.If he ever messed
up again, then Elliot would kill him with his bare hands!
When Eric arrived at the Starry River Villa that noon, Layla immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Iâm so happy to see you, Uncle Eric, but I canât bring myself to smile⦠My aunt died to save my little
brother. I really like my aunt⦠I never even got to call her that⦠How could she die?"
Eric picked Layla up, then gently wipes her tears away.
"Your aunt isnât dead. Sheâs alive in a different way," Eric consoled. "Her blood is running through your
little brotherâs veins, so she will always be with him."
Ericâs explanation made Layla stop crying.
Haydenâs mood, however, turned heavier.He quietly returned to his room, shut the door behind him,
allowed the tears to fall from his eyes.
Shea had asked him to call her "Aunt Shea" many times before, but he had always heartlessly rejected
her requests.He hated Elliot, so the way he had rejected Shea was extremely cruel.
He regretted it now. He wanted to call her "Aunt Shea", but he would never get the chance to do so.
The last time he was this upset was when his grandmother passed away.He might not have called
Shea his aunt, but he had already considered her a part of their family in his heart.
Around two in the afternoon, Avery was awakened by the sound of her phone ringing.
She thought it was the doctor calling, so she quickly rubbed her eyes and searched for her phone.
When she found it, she saw Coleâs name flashing on the screen.
