His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2088

Avery felt moved by his words.

He had spent the past few days in silence, and she had thought that he would never open up to her ever again. She had not expected that he was worried about putting her in danger.

"I've talked to Angela and she said she's only interested in the award and promised that she won't come after us, so don't worry. No one has come looking for trouble since you come back." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Elliot, we don't have to worry about things that haven't happened yet..."

"Angela will marry Dean Jennings," he said.

"I know. Are you worried that Dean will come after us?" Avery looked up. "They will be getting married in half a month so at least for another two weeks, Dean will have no time to deal with us."

The two chatted quietly as the nanny poured two bowls of soup and brought them to the dining room.

Avery immediately took Elliot's hand and led him into the dining room.

"You've lost a lot of weight. I want you to recover." Avery sat him down on a chair. " Elliot, do you want to see Layla and Robert? They miss you."

Elliot picked up the spoon and took a sip of his soup wordlessly.

"If you don't know how to face them just yet, we don't have to video-call them now," she said. "We can contact them whenever you are ready."

"When will you go back?" he asked.

"I'm waiting for you to readjust." Avery leisurely sipped on her soup. "If you go back, you will need to face Layla, Robert, Shea, and a lot of your friends. There's no need to hurry. We can wait. "

She was right that he had not readjusted himself.

"Elliot, it's been so long since I saw you smile. Can you smile for me?" She requested, hoping to ease the tension.

"Ask for something else." He could not bring himself to smile.

"Can you let me take you to the hospital for a full body check, then?" she said. "Your mental state aside, I feel like you are physically in good shape, so I really want to take you to the hospital to learn more."

"And if I say no?"

"You said 'if, which means you aren't that inclined to say no." She knew every detail about him, down to the look in his eyes and his tone. "Elliot, I told you this already: don't worry. No matter what you become, you will always be the man I love most. I won't see you as a freak or a monster. I am going to marry you again when we go home."

"No," he said coldly without hesitation. "I might die at any moment now. I don't even have the courage to see the kids, let alone give you any promises.”
