His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1198

"In that case, just be frank with him!" said Mike raising his voice. "Tell him that Shea is still alive, let him worry and suffer! It's better than letting him hate you!"

"I can't get through to him. I haven't been able to get through to him since last night. I've been calling him until now. He probably won't use this number again." She spoke in a hoarse and nasal voice without trying to hide her helplessness and grief. " Mike, I feel like my heart is dead."

"Like hell it is! Even if he is your life, you still have three children!" Mike snapped. " When is Shea's surgery? Is it scheduled yet?

"Tomorrow, if all goes well." She took a deep breath and said, "I talked to Shea last night. She's just as innocent and kind as she always was. She misses Elliot dearly, and I promised her I'd bring her to meet him if her operation is successful. But I can't contact Elliot anymore..."

"You might not be able to contact him, but perhaps someone else can. In the meantime, take a deep breath and calm down. If Shea's operation is successful, he'll come around." Mike then comforted her, "I'll bring the children to meet you in Bridgedale the day after tomorrow."

"Okay. I need to go to the hospital."

"Love will always be the spice of life, Avery, but it is not necessary for life. Don’t lose confidence in life just because of love."

"Understood."

Mike then went back into the villa after their call.

He stayed until nine at night and left when Layla had fallen asleep.

He left Elliot's home and drove to Chad's place.

Chad had been feeling deflated and defeated ever since Elliot left Sterling Group.

The fact that he would never see Elliot entering Sterling Group again was bad enough for him, but the biggest blow was the knowledge that Adrian would be his future boss.

"How was Adrian supposed to be Sterling Group's boss if he knew nothing?" thought Chad.
