When His Eyes Opened

Chapter 225 “We’re friends,” Wesley answered. 

“Professor Hough had plenty of female students. You’re not this close to Zoe Sanford, are you? “Elliot said mockingly. “Do you have feelings for Avery?” 

Wesley felt a strong sense of hostility from him. 

“Isn’t Avery allowed to start a brand new relationship?” Wesley asked with a gentle smile.” Mr. Foster, has Avery ever said anything about your relationship with Miss Sanford?”

Elliot’s eyes filled with a frosty chill as he said, “That‘s one thing I find strange. When I asked you to help me find the student that the professor mentioned before he died, you gave me a list of names. Why didn‘t you just tell me that it was Zoe? She said she knew you. You probably know her, too, right?” 

Wesley was surprised to find that Elliot was not as clueless as he had thought. 

“Of course, I know her. However, it’s been many years since she graduated, so I can’t comment on her skills now. Which is why I gave you the list for you to find out for yourself.”

Elliot was not fooled by his answer.

“Didn‘t the professor ever mention her to you? Professor Hough did not dare operate on Shea, but he said he had a student who could. That means that the professor greatly respected that student... It‘s impossible that he never mentioned someone that incredible to you.” 

Wesley was rendered speechless by Elliot‘s questions. 

In a panic, he picked up his glass of water and took a sip.
