When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 “I don’t know her,” Shea was showing her dislike for Zoe. “I’ve never seen her… I don’t know her…”

“You fainted, and you were taken to the hospital. So, you haven’t seen her till now,” explained Elliot.

“Fainted?” she thought.

Shea cried, “No! No!”

The last thing she remembered was Avery’s face.

She had been lying in bed with a fever, and Avery had been talking to her.

She could not remember what had been said.

However, she vaguely remembered Avery’s gentle eyes and gentle voice. They comforted her greatly.

Her emotional outburst caused her head to throb and tears flowed from her eyes. It felt almost as if her head was being torn apart.

“Shea, does it hurt? Close your eyes and don’t think about anything. When you fall asleep, it won’t be so painful.” Elliot wiped away the tears on her face with a tissue and then patted her

shoulder, coaxing her to sleep.

She had just had brain surgery and needed more rest.

After coaxing her to sleep, Elliot came out of the ward.

Zoe immediately stepped forward and asked, “How is she?”

Elliot smiled, and excitement was clear in his voice. “She talks more than she has ever done before. She looks more alert as well. Dr. Sanford, the surgery was a success!”

Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s great! I was worried that the surgery might not have had the desired effects, or it would not have met your expectations!”

Elliot was extremely grateful, and he could not help hugging Zoe. “Dr. Sanford, thank you!”

Zoe’s heart beat faster, and she felt guilty, but at the same time, she also enjoyed Elliot’s gratitude

She tried to wrap her hands around Elliot. “Mr. Foster, this is my job.”

Her voice made Elliot regain his composure.

He released her, but the smile remained on his face. “Dr. Sanford, it’s a tiresome job, and I thank you for it. It’s very late. You should head back and get some good rest. We’ll see you

tomorrow.”

Zoe nodded, “If Shea has anything urgent, you can call me at any time.”

Elliot nodded and sent her away.
