Chapter 345 “It’ll be fine. I won’t mention you even if he manages to find me. Don’t worry!” Eric said. “Okay. Make sure to work on your rehabilitation therapy. I’ll be waiting for your comeback.” “I’ll give it my all!”
That evening, Eric received an unexpected guest at his villa in the mountains.
He did not anticipate Elliot Foster to find him so soon.
Elliot arrived with a woman next to him.
“Hello, Eric. I’m sorry for barging in on you,” Elliot said politely. “I’ve looked for you for a long time. I’m afraid it would’ve taken even longer if it weren’t for the video you posted online this morning.”
There were no excess emotions on Eric’s face.
He responded to Elliot in an equally courteous manner and said, “How can I help you, Mr. Foster?”
Elliot glanced at Shea, then said, “There’s a cat over there, Shea. Why don’t you go and take a look?”
Shea walked away to see the cat with the bodyguard.
Elliot withdrew his gaze from Shea and landed his eyes back on Eric.
“She’s my sister. She’s had a mental disability since she was born.”
Eric was taken aback.
“My sister is adorable and kind,” Elliot said in a hoarse voice as tears formed in his eyes. “You would understand what I mean if you know about what she’s been through.”
He handed over a few photos to Eric.
Eric took the photos and saw the photo of a little girl lying on a bed.
She was skin and bones and covered in bruises. It was a ghastly sight!
Eric could not bring himself to look further and put the photos down.
“Do you know how she got hurt?” Elliot said as he put the photos away. “My father beat her. Due to her illness, my father was always ashamed of her and abused her. It’s hard to imagine that she’s been through such dark times after seeing the way she smiled at you earlier, right?”
Eric was affected by Elliot’s words.
