His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1547

Lilith received a call from Ben.

She had finished showering and was laying in her bed, scrolling through videos. When Ben’s name popped up on the screen, she immediately jumped up.

She answered the call and heard Ben stuttering, "Lilith... I... I am drunk... Can... Can you... come pick me up?"

He even burped after asking the question.

Lilith felt like she could already smell the alcohol even through the call.

"It's so cold out there. I'm not picking you up!" She rejected his request without hesitation but felt slightly guilty after that and added, "You can just find a hotel nearby to stay the night! Why bother coming back here this late at night?

There's no point."

Ben’s heart sank at her affectionless reply.

"Aren't you drinking with my brother?

What about him? Is he drunk as well?" she asked when Ben did not reply.

Ben sighed. "Your brother wants to take me back to his place, but his leg has just recovered. I am over a hundred pounds; how can I lean on him?"

"Then walk on your own!"

"I am drunk!"

"Oh...” Lilith thought about it, but she was still reluctant to travel miles just to pick him up. "Just tell my brother to get you a taxi. I won't lock the door. I’ll just wait for you to come home, okay?"

Elliot froze because he forgot. He had been so overwhelmed after talking to Ben about the child in Ylore, that he had forgotten to bring her food.

"I will go get you something now." He immediately got up and grabbed his jacket. "What do you want to eat?"

"It’s okay. I’ll just drink some water." She flipped the blanket and got out of bed. "It’s too cold out there. No matter how many years I stay here, I just can't get used to the weather here."

He swallowed hard at her slim figure."

What do you want to eat? I will go buy it. I don't feel cold."

"Elliot, it's okay that you forgot to bring me food." She picked up a mug to take a sip of water. "I fell asleep just now and woke up because I had a nightmare. I wasn't waiting up for you."
