Chapter 846
When His Eyes Opened
By the time Avery walked her way back home, it was already evening.
The weather was not great today, and it had turned dark outside earlier.
Mrs.Cooper was shocked to see her drenched and in a daze.
"What happened, Avery?"
Mrs.Cooper held Averyâs hand.
"Did you not want Master Elliot to leave? Donât be like that.You can go back to Aryadelle whenever you
want, right?"
Avery shook her head, then croaked, "Where are the kids?"
"Robert is sleeping.Layla and Hayden are taking a shower.They were making a snowman in the front
yard earlier and got soaked," said Mrs.Cooper.
"Youâre drenched, Avery.Go and take a hot shower.Do you need my help?"
Avery shook her head, then turned away and headed toward the bedroom.
Mrs.Cooper was worried and followed behind her.
"By the way, donât mention Elliot Foster in front of the children ever again."
Avery stopped in her tracks, then turned to Mrs.Cooper and continued, "We broke up.You and
Mrs.Scarlet work for himâ¦"
She could not bring herself to continue the rest of her sentence.She wanted to send Mrs.Cooper and
Mrs.Scarlet back to Elliot.
Since they were broken up, she could not continue to keep them by her side.
Mrs.Cooperâs face turned pale as she could not accept what she just heard.
"This is too sudden, Avery! I⦠I donât know what to say, but I want to stay here and take care of
Robert."
"You work for him, though.From now on, I wonât have anything to do with him.I like you, but I donât want
to continue to have any connection to him because of you," Avery said, revealing her thoughts.
Mrs.Cooperâs eyes filled with tears.
She did not know what to do.
At this moment, Mrs.Scarlet walked over and said to Avery, "I donât know what happened between the
two of you, Avery.Itâs regretful, but Iâve spent my whole life working as a nanny for the Fosters.I will be
leaving tomorrow."
Avery nodded, then turned to Mrs.Cooper and said, "You should go with Mrs.Scarlet."
Mrs.Cooper could no longer handle the reality at hand and walked away in tears.
"Sheâs developed a liking for Robert, Avery.You should let her make her own choices.If sheâs willing to
stay behind and take care of Robert, then she can quit working for the Fosters and work for you
instead," said Mrs.Scarlet.
"Sheâs been working for the Fosters all these years.I donât want to trouble her."
"Are things between you and Master Elliot truly over?"
Mrs.Scarlet could not understand how they were both just fine yesterday but are now broken up out of
nowhere.
Averyâs lashes fluttered as she said, "Heâs going to marry Chelsea Tierney.Do you think thereâs
anything left to redeem?"
Mrs.Scarlet took a step back.
She was so shocked that she could not say a word.
That night, Avery tossed and turned in bed.
As the clock ticked away, her body temperature slowly rose.
Her mouth felt dry and she was very thirsty.
When she threw back the covers and sat up, her head started spinning.
She immediately realized that she had acb fever.
The next morning, Mrs.Cooper gave Elliot a call after careful consideration.
At that moment, Elliot had just gotten off the plane.
"Master Elliot, Avery said youâre going to marry Chelsea Tierney, so she could not keep Mrs.Scarlet
and me by her side."
Mrs.Cooper had spent the whole night thinking about her final decision.
"I donât think youâd do something like that, but Avery wouldnât lie to me.Mrs.Scarlet will be returning to
Aryadelle today, but I wonât be going with her."
Elliot grunted in response.
"Robert is still a baby.Iâd like to stay by Averyâs side and take care of Robert.No matter what happens
between you and Avery, Robert is still your child.Iâll stay with Avery to repay all the years that you took
care of me."
"Alright," Elliot said.
After she hung up the phone, Mrs.Cooper headed to Averyâs room.
