When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 

“Mike, hurry up and catch up to them!” shrieked Laura.

“Ohh!” Mike snapped out of his daze and drove after them. 

Laura sighed in relief. 

“Grandma, is Mom going to be okay? I’m so worried about her!” Layla asked as her eyes grew red with tears. She grabbed onto Laura’s blouse

Laura lifted her up. “Your mom is just down with a fever. It’s nothing to worry about. Once she is in the hospital, the doctor will help her, and as soon as her fever comes down, she will be okay.”

“Oh... but why did Elliot come here?” Layla could not help but have a bad feeling about it. 

Laura frowned. “I‘m not sure either, but I don‘t think he will do anything while your mom is sick.” Elliot had wrapped Avery in her blanket before he carried her down. Despite Laura’s prejudice toward him, she could not say that he had done anything wrong. 

One could always tell from the smallest details as to whether a man truly cared for a woman. No matter how many women Elliot had out there, he still had feelings for Avery, and because of that, Avery should be safe with him. 

In the hospital, Elliot carried Avery into the emergency room, and by the time Mike caught up to them, Avery was already on an IV drip. 

“Elliot Foster! You run too damn fast!” Mike panted. “Give Avery back!” 

The emergency room had run out of beds, and Elliot held Avery in his arms. He gave Mike a cold glare and said, “Get out of the way!” 

“I‘m in your way? If it wasn‘t for you shoving me aside, I would have brought Avery here myself!” Mike probed his hands on both sides of his waist and retorted.

The patients around them were starting to pay attention to them. 

“Are you trying to be the face of tomorrow’s headlines?” Elliot said sharply. “Pipe down!” 

Mike looked around him, before reluctantly quieting down and sitting down next to Elliot. 

“Why are the people around you so violent?” Mike touched the wound at the corner of his mouth. “I had too much to drink last night and someone put me in the same room as Chad. It’ s not like it‘s my fault.” 

“Why didn‘t you just hit them?” Elliot retorted.

“There were two of them, how could I?” “Don‘t you know how to call the police?” Elliot said. 

“... Why is he saying the same thing as Avery did?” Mike thought to himself.

“It‘s not that they punched me that hard... I am just pissed!” Mike continued complaining,” Chad, that b*st*rd, he better hope he doesn’t run into me when he is alone!” 

“Are you interested in Chad?” Elliot frowned. “Keep your dirty mind away from Chad!”

“What? How am I dirty–minded? Speak for yourself! You are the one cheating on three women at the same time! I am far from dirty when compared to you!” 

Mike’s voice was loud, and people began to stare at them again. Feeling as though his pride had been dragged across the floor, Elliot gave his bodyguard a look, and the bodyguard immediately dragged Mike outside.
