All Chapters of When His Eyes Opened: Chapter 471 - Chapter 480

Ben took a seat and listened closely to Elliot's woes."It's true that you were forced into a relationship with Zoe, but that wasn't because of Avery. You did it for Shea," Ben said bluntly. "Avery is unaware of your relationship with Shea, so she is quite understandably upset."Elliot stared at him with his deep-set eyes. "What do you think my relationship with Shea is?"Ben chuckled lightly, then said, "Are you really asking me to guess?""I know you'd figure it out," Elliot said confidently. "You know me well.""Are you upset that Avery doesn't trust you enough?"Ben had a feeling that, if he was right, Elliot's relationship with Avery was about to worsen."Wouldn't that explain the problem?" Elliot retorted.Ben stroked his chin and said, "Not everybody is as calm and reasonable as you are. Besides, love is a completely different matter. Last year, you had been jealous of Mike, and you weren't as calm as you are right now."The light in Elliot's eyes dimmed, and his voice

Realizing that he could no longer hide the truth from Elliot, Chad said, "Avery went to see Wanda Tate today and ended up falling down after Wanda's bodyguard pushed her."That morning, Chad had informed Elliot that Wanda's assistant was the one behind the viral news a few days ago.Elliot had planned to take some time to see Wanda over the matter.He did not expect Avery to be one step ahead of him.Chad heard Elliot's heavy breathing on the other side of the line and instantly became anxious."It was an accident, Sir. You can't blame Avery… She doesn't want anything to happen to the child, either… She's really down right now. Please don't get mad at her when you get here—"Elliot hung up.Ever since Chad had gotten together with Mike, he had become severely biased in favor of Avery.Elliot cared about the child, but that did not mean that he did not care for Avery's wellbeing.If it ever came down to having to choose between Avery and the child, he would always choose Avery.

Avery's heart ached at the sight of Elliot's rigid back."Whether or not this baby makes it, I hope you can stay calm. The risk of a miscarriage is there with every pregnancy, and not every child is successfully carried to term."She told him this because she felt a bad feeling well up in her heart.She had been pessimistic ever since she found out she was pregnant.She had gotten pregnant while undergoing treatment. If it were not for luck being on her side, the child would not have made it under normal circumstances.Every time there was luck, there was also a possibility of loss. Avery's words hurt Elliot.He turned to face her and said, "Are you trying to make me feel better? Who exactly is the one who can't stay calm? Didn't you test me just now? Since you never wanted this child in the first place, then let's just act as if it's already dead."He turned and stormed out of the room.After Elliot left, Mike entered the room and asked, "Why did he leave so soon? What did y

Avery walked into the hospital and was about to go to the maternity unit when Mike caught hold of her and dragged her to get an ultrasound scan. Avery raised her brows and questioned him with her eyes."I think… You should get an ultrasound scan right away," Mike tried to speak nonchalantly but failed.In the end, he said, "Elliot's here. He's waiting for you at the ultrasound room."Avery shook off his grip, then snapped unhappily, "When did you start working for him?"Mike raised his hand and swore, "I'm not! Chad told me!""Chad works for him. What's the difference between Chad bribing you and Elliot bribing you?""Of course, it's different! Chad isn't like that dirtbag! He's not an unreasonable person!," Mike argued as he held Avery's arm. "Chad promised me he'd quit if that dirtbag ever picks on you again!""Still, you don't have to tell them everything!""I didn't tell them everything… I didn't tell them that your appetite's gotten better the past couple of days, or tha

Elliot stood in silence for a moment, then called Chad on the office intercom and asked who sent the magazine over."One of the employees from Tate Industries delivered it. They sent a total of twenty copies to us. I've asked the secretary to distribute a copy to each department head.""Have you seen it?" Elliot asked with a frown."Not yet. I was going to buy myself a copy after work today.""You can take mine!"Moments later, Chad entered Elliot's office.When he saw the grim expression on his boss's face, he instantly had a feeling that there was something wrong with the magazine.He had only glanced at the magazine's cover.The photo of Avery was beautiful, so that could not be the problem.The issue must have something to do with the contents of the interview."Should I take the magazine, Sir?" Chad asked."Take it away!" Elliot snapped.His expression was icy, and his voice was even colder.Chad picked up the magazine from the desk and then walked out of the room.H
