When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 The boom of a gunshot pierced through the night followed immediately by the sound of car tires coming to a screeching halt.

Avery felt like her eardrums were about to burst as she held tightly onto Elliot.

Tears were streaming down her face as her body shook uncontrollably.

The tires of the black sedan had been blown up.

It had swerved and crashed into the cotton candy stand that Avery had purchased cotton candy from.

Elliot had his arms wrapped around Avery as he watched the car from the corner of his eyes.

Someone was trying to kill him but had failed.

Then came the sound of another gunshot.

This time the gun had been pointed at the driver’s seat.

Avery and Elliot were surrounded by cries of terror as people scattered and sought shelter from the danger

Avery’s skin was cold to the touch.

Elliot cradled her face in his hands, stared at her terrified face, and said hoarsely, “Don’t be scared. It’s over now.”

Avery’s chest rose and fell at a frantic pace. Uncertainty flickered in her eyes, but she kept her gaze fixed on his face.

“Elliot… Elliot…”

There was so much that she wanted to say, but nothing except his name escaped her lips.

“I’m fine, Avery.”

Elliot picked up her hand and placed her palm against his cheek, then said, “It’s warm, isn’t it?

Avery nodded and tears continued to stream down her face.

“I’m so scared… I don’t want you to die…”

“I’m invincible! Nobody can take my life away unless I allow them,” Elliot said as he held her hand tightly in his. “Let’s go for ribs.”

Avery grabbed onto the handles of his wheelchair and quickly wheeled him into a nearby

restaurant.

They had not been sitting for long before Ben and the others rushed over.

“Are you okay, Elliot?” he asked as he sat down next to Elliot. “I knew someone was coming for you when I heard that d*mned gunshot!”
