When His Eyes Opened

Chapter 991 

Avery froze in horror! 

"If I ate those cherries, I'd definitely be dead, too!"

Layla burst into gut wrenching sobs.

Avery immediately picked Layla out of the child safety seat and held her in her arms.

"Don't cry sweetie.You're safe now! You'll always be safe! We won't eat at school again! I'll get the driver to send you food every day!"

Layla sobbed breathlessly and said, "Kiki was my friend, Mommy.She died right next to me...I'm scared...I'm so scared!"

Avery's eyes welled up as her emotions slowly crumbled and she burst into tears, too.

According to Layla, if Kiki died from eating Layla's cherries, then Layla was the target all along! If Kiki had not eaten the cherries that were meant for Layla, then Layla would be the one who died today.
