When His Eyes Opened By Simple Silence

Elliot stared them down coldly as he pursed his lips.

‘I’m finding that traitor even if that’s the last thing I do!’ He thought.

The next morning, Avery opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Mike’s face.

“You’re awake, Avery!” Mike adjusted her bed and passed her a bowl of soup. “Have some46 soup.”

She had not fully woken up yet and accepted the bowl dazedly.

“How do you feel today?” Mike sat down by the bed and stared at her face. “Why didn’t you tell me that something like that has happened to the company, and came back on your own instead? I would die of guilt if something happened to you.”

Avery sobered. “You are drunk, how was I supposed to let you know?”

“Alright! I shouldn’t have drunk with Elliot!” Mike sighed and said, “but we should really thank him this time. He helped us find thecd traitor.”

Avery’s lashes shivered at the words as she asked with a hoarse voice, “who was it? Who betrayed us?”

“The technical department.” Mike lowered his head because he was the one responsible for the technicalge department.

Avery frowned. “I asked who, not which department.”

“All employees from the technical department,” Mike took a deep breath and gritted out,” those fools went causing troubles when they were out for a gathering and someone took photos of them. They were then threatened to exchange the photos with the microchip and so they plotted together and stole the microchip.”

“Who did they give it to?!” Avery was taken by surprise, but knew that she had to face reality.

“They said that they didn’t know, because the person wore a mask and used a voice changer, so they couldn’t tell who it was.”

Avery had lost all appetite and handed the bowl of soup back to Mike.

“Have some, Avery! Don’t torture yourself,” Mike said guiltily, “it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have trusted them.”

“I feel dizzy right now. I will have the soup later.” Avery laid back down and started thinking of counter moves.

The person who took the microchip had to be either Wanda, or another competitor from the same industry. Soon enough, there would be a company that would launch their products with

brand new updates and it would crush Tate Industries.

An hour later, Elliot arrived at the hospital to visit Avery.

He had dropped by at three in the morning, but left after a glance as Avery was still sleeping at the time. It was half past eight in the morning and he had only slept for less than four hours; his eyes were red.

When Mrs. Cooper saw him approaching, she immediately said, “Avery just had her breakfast

and said she felt dizzy, so she went back to sleep.”

He stepped towards the bed and stared at Avery’s paled face. Her brows furrowed and appeared uneasy even in her sleep.

Suddenly, his phone started ringing. He immediately answered the call and walked towards the balcony.

“Mr. Foster, I got it. The stolen microchip that belonged to Tate Industries is now in the hands of Wanda Tate!” His subordinate said, “they have successfully cracked the code open so there’s no point of recovering it!”

Meanwhile, Avery slowly opened her eyes from the bed.

She stared at Elliot’s slim, yet strong figure from behind and struggled to get up from the bed.

Chapter 646

She thought she was dreaming, because she could see the light surrounding his body. She stepped towards him and he turned around abruptly; she saw his brooding eyes and sensed the warmth radiating off his body and it was then that she finally sobered and realized that it was not a dream.

“Why did you get out of bed?” He held her by the arm and asked, “did I wake you?”

She shook her head. “I slept too long last night and feel dizzy whenever I am asleep for too long.”

“Why don’t we go down for a walk, 46 then?”

Elliot had asked the doctor and the doctor told him that there was nothing wrong with the baby. The main issue was that Avery was emotionally unstable, which led to hyperventilation and increased heart rate. Once she calmed herself and rested, Avery would recover; but if she failed to do so, it would affect the child.

Avery glanced outside the window and saw how sunny it was outside, so she nodded and stepped out of the room with34 Elliot.

“Avery, the trouble your company is facing is no big deal.” As they walked out of the hospital, Elliot hesitated and said, “you can’t get everything you want in life, whether it’s in daily life or work One can only grow when there’s adversity.”

She gazed up at him. “Are you trying to comforted me?”

“You need to strengthen your mental tolerance.” Seeing that Avery was energetic enough, he cut to the chase and said, “so what if someone took your core technology and earned the money that belongs to you? It’s just a financial loss. Health should always be your top priority for as long as you are alive.”

Avery nodded. “So, you drink and smoke when you are ill because you know that health is the top priority in life. If only you had no clue of how important health is, you would have probably just drowned yourself in a whiskeyge barrel!”

“…” Elliot realized that he had worried too much and Avery didn’t need comforting after all.

“Haha!” Seeing that he was rendered speechless, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Look at how red your eyes are. Did you even sleep? If you need to get an electrocardiogram, maybe I can give my room to23 you.”

“I was worried that you might be upset, so I couldn’t sleep,” he explained, “but judging from the way you are right now, I guess you are stronger than I thought you were.”
