His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2758

The call was almost immediately answered.

"Aunty, it's Layla." Though Layla used to call Eric her uncle, she still referred to his mother as 'aunty' because Mrs. Santos was exceptionally youthful and beautiful despite her age.

Every time Layla would visit them, she would address Mrs. Santos as 'aunty' and call Eric by his name.

If it was any other time, Mrs. Santos would be overjoyed to have received a call from Layla, but since there was no telling if Eric would get the surgery he needed, her heart was heavy with sorrow, and she could not muster her enthusiasm.

Mrs. Santos hummed in response, and Layla continued, "Aunty, I'm back in Aryadelle, and I want to pay you a visit tomorrow.

Mrs. Santos hesitated before agreeing.

"I won't keep you from going to sleep, then. See you tomorrow," Layla said before ending the call.

Though Mrs. Santos had not accused Layla of anything, Layla was still overwhelmed by guilt.

Meanwhile, in Eric's mansion, Mrs. Santos sat by her bed and sobbed after the call, and Mr. Santos brought her some tissue paper before wiping her tears away.

Mr. Santos pursed his lips in silence. Despite his casual tone, he was overwhelmed by despair as well as there was nothing more painful than to lose one's child.

The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Santos went grocery shopping at the market as Mrs. Santos planned on cooking since Layla was coming.

After breakfast, Layla drove to visit Eric's parents, and once she arrived, she opened the trunk of her car to get the gifts she had bought for them.

She noticed that the door to the mansion was left open, and when Mr. Santos saw Layla's car, he immediately hurried outside to welcome her.
