When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 A glimmer of light not too far away suddenly grabbed Avery’s attention.

She held up her phone and aimed the light in the direction of the glimmer.

At the bottom of the sprawling ravine was the clear silhouette of a man lying on the ground.

“Elliot!”

Avery let out a shrill cry before she got down on all fours and crawled toward the ravine.

“I’m coming, Elliot! Don’t be scared! You’ll be fine… You’ll be okay!”

Hearing her cries, the bodyguard yelled down the hill, “Did you find him?!”

“Yes! He fell! He’s covered in blood!” Avery yelled as she tried to contain her emotions. “Get over here!”

She took a deep breath and jumped down to where Elliot was.

Her foot slipped upon the sudden impact, which caused her to draw a sharp breath of pain.

She swiped the tears off her face and quickly scrambled to where Elliot was and took him into her arms.

“Elliot! Wake up! Don’t fall asleep! Stay awake!”

His cheeks were cold to the touch. Blew her warm air onto his face.

There was no signal up on the hill.

There was no way for them to call for help.

While Elliot’s bodyguard carried him on his back down the hill, Avery trailed along behind them, using a branch for support. Tears streamed down her face.

How did this happen?

Who was the one who told Elliot she was on the hill?

This was attempted murder!

If Elliot had fallen into a deeper ravine, and if nobody had been able to find him, he would have frozen to death within twenty-four hours!

Hot tears streamed down Avery’s face when she thought of Elliot’s close brush with death. She had been the reason he had gone up there in the first place.

After Elliot was rescued, two of the Tierney family’s bodyguards walked into Charlie’s room at

the villa.

“We were waiting at the top of the hill for him the whole time, but he fell over before he even got to us!” reported one of the guards.

Charlie slammed his clenched fist on the table, then snapped, “What a weakling! He couldn’t even climb up a d*mn hill! Why didn’t he just fall to death?!”

“He got lucky! We took a look at where he fell. It was a pretty big ravine. Nobody would have found him if it was a narrow one!”
