When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Avery pulled out her phone and called Cole. 

“Hello? Avery?” Cole answered.

“Cassandra’s dead. Did you know?”

“What?! What do you mean she’s dead?! I’m at the hospital for a checkup…. She was fine when I talked to her on the phone last night,”

“Did you fight?” “No!” Cole exclaimed.

A few seconds later, almost as if he had remembered something, he added, “I remember now. Cassandra was here when Uncle Elliot came home for dinner last time. It wasn’t a pleasant night. Uncle Elliot told her that she won’t have much longer to live, and she’s been terrified about that conversation ever since-”

“That’s impossible! I was with Elliot all night. He didn’t do anything!”

Cole sighed, then said, “Why do you lose all reason every time Uncle Elliot’s involved? I’m just saying what I know. You’re the only one I’d tell this to. If the police asked me, there’s no way I’ d mention this…”

“Listen up, Cole Foster! You better not have anything to do with Cassandra’s death. The police will get to the bottom of this!”

“It wasn’t me. I don’t have a motive! I wouldn’t resort to murder even if we got into a fight,” Cole responded coldly, then added, “Avery… Ever since you fell in love with Uncle Elliot, I’ve become nothing to you.”

“Please keep that bullsh*t to yourself! What was I to you when you were messing around with Cassandra behind my back?!” Avery snapped, then furiously hung up the phone.

“Who were you talking to?” asked the officer.

“Cole Foster. He’s Cassandra Tate’s boyfriend,” Avery said.

She gave the officer Cole’s number, then said, “Cassandra’s been hanging out with him a lot recently. I’m sure he knows why she killed herself.”

Avery walked out of the police station that afternoon and took a cab to her mother’s place.

After reporting the news of Cassandra’s death to Laura, Avery muttered, “I couldn’t recognize her, Mom… It was just all blood… I couldn’t see her features….”

Laura wrapped her arms tightly around her daughter and said, “Don’t be scared, Avery. It was her life! It had nothing to do with us! All we need to do is live our own lives!”

“Cole said that Elliot did it…” Avery said. “I don’t believe it! Elliot would never commit murder!”

“Did you ask him?” Laura asked. “Even if it was him, I’m sure he had his reasons.”

“Come on, Mom. There’s never a reason to kill someone. If Cassandra broke the law, then the law should be the one to deal with her.”
