When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960
Avery was in good spirits after a good night’s sleep, but the phone call from the vice president made her frantic with anxiety.
After the phone call, she received the address to Sierra University from the vice president.
Next, she had to book a flight and rush over.
Just as she opened up the airline app, the alarm on her phone went off. She was so startled that she almost dropped her phone. She held her chest and let out a long sigh.
“What is there to be anxious about?
“It is just a training course. It would be fine even if I was late.” thought Avery.
She had not taken her tardiness seriously while she was a student, and she saw no reason to take it seriously now that she was no longer a student.
Besides, she was not the one who signed up for the course. She was already doing the vice president a huge favor by agreeing to attend it in his place. There was no reason at all to be so nervous.
At that thought, Avery fell back onto the bed and planned on getting some rest.
She grabbed her phone and texted Tammy: (I’m going away for a week, Tammy. Don’t forget to tell me how your appointment with the therapist goes.)
It was still early in the morning and Tammy was probably still asleep, so she put her phone down after she sent the text and planned on taking a nap before she got up to pack her suitcase.
A week was quite a long time for Avery. She had never been away for that long since she gave birth. Just as she shut her eyes and was composing her emotions, her phone rang. Avery opened her eyes, grabbed her phone, then immediately answered it when she saw that it was Tammyed calling.
“Why are you suddenly going away, Avery? You didn’t mention anything about it yesterday. What’s the rush?” Tammy was worried after reading Avery’s text and quickly called to ask her about it.
“The vice president asked me for a favor. He signed up for a training course and asked me to attend it in his place. His son’s sick and needs surgery so he can’t make it. I couldn’t refuse.” Avery yawned, then said, “There are two things I hate the most: meetings and training2e courses.”
Tammy did not know whether to laugh or cry. “You have to go now that you’ve promised him.
“I know. It’s still early, so I’ll lie down for a little longer.” Avery stared at the ceiling and said gloomily, “I don’t want to leave the kids. Just the thought of being away for a week makes me feelf2 awful.”
“A week will fly by. Treat it like a break,” said Tammy. “I heard yesterday that Elliot was also going on a business trip,” mused Tammy. “That’s right. He’s leaving today too. Do you know what he said to me yesterday? He told me that he wanted to have a talk with me when he gets back from his trip.” Avery smirked, then said in frustration, “The more he pushes me, the more I won’t tell him what he wants to 4e hear.”
“I know how you feel. Don’t agree to it so quickly. Leave him hanging for a while and see how long he can hold on,” Tammy suggested. “Otherwise, he’ll make you angry for no reason in the future if you give in too easily.” The smile on Avery’s slowly4e vanished. She recalled her recent relationship with Elliot, then mumbled, “His temper’s gotten better recently. He hasn’t lost his cool no matter how much I pick on him.”
“That’s because you haven’t agreed to make up with him. Even if he’s not doing this for you, he probably wants to get to the kids through you,” said Tammy98 bluntly. “Alright! You’re right. He really does care about the kids. My mom used to say that people grow fonder of children and become more patient as they age. I guess she was right.” “Aunt Laura went through a lot. Of course, her words would make sense.” Tammy pondered for a moment, then said, “If you’re not around when he gets back from his trip, he might lose it.”
Tammy’s words made Avery abruptly sit up in bed. “He’s also going away for a week.”
