When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Avery did not return to Elliot’s mansion, nor did she visit the sick Elliot. This time, Avery was astonishingly cruel. Besides her, another person also had also treated Elliot ruthlessly. 

Ben.

As Avery had never returned to Elliot’s mansion, nor did she show any concern for him as he lay in the hospital bed, Ben would come every day and give him daily updates on Avery’s daily activities. For example, today Avery had gone to Trust Capital and had a great morning with Charlie, or today they had lunch together.

It did not matter if the two of them had gone to an art exhibition or not, and it did not matter i f they really had lunch together. What truly mattered was that Elliot was pissed off, as that was the only thing guaranteeing that he cooperated.

If Elliot was still sick, he could not take revenge.

Ben used his understanding of Elliot to make him live in misery every day. Eventually, Elliot’s condition began to improve under the control of medication. Although he still looked pale and weak, he was determined to get out. The reason for his desire to leave the hospital was that Ben had told him that Charlie was taking Avery to an AI technology event.

These days, Elliot thought about many things as he lay in bed. To be frank, his memory of Charlie was not that clear, but this illness made him recall the past.

Charlie was a refined speculator and egoist. He carefully calculated his every move, whether it was making friends or doing things, so as to maximize the benefits and reduce the harm that h e would experience. Additionally, he was good at disguise. He would be smiling even when facing an enemy, and just when they thought he was admitting defeat and lowered their guard against him, he would take the opportunity to stab them ruthlessly.

He and Elliot had drifted apart not only because they were incompatible, but they had also drifted apart because of their different investment ideas. Charlie would do anything for money, and he was good at wooing the powerful and turning in illegal wealth. Even though Elliot would also do anything for profit, Elliot had his own lines, and there were some types of money that even he would not touch even if it were to be right in front of him.
