When His Eyes Opened

Chapter 56 

“Stop acting like a baby,” Avery said in a low and gentle voice as she wiped down Elliot’s face. “Do you think I want to care for you like this? You stink of booze… Aren’t you a clean freak? Was that all an act? | wouldn’t even bother helping you if your legs weren’t still recovering.”

The sound of her voice calmed Elliot’s breathing, and he was overcome by a sudden wave of drowsiness.

Her voice was like a hypnotic lullaby.

Once Avery finished wiping Elliot down, she pulled the covers over him and tucked him in.

By the time she cleaned up in the bathroom and returned to the bedroom, he was already fast asleep.

She finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

She sat down on the edge of the bed and glanced around the room.

The memory of how her every move was monitored and recorded by surveillance cameras for the first three months she was there sent a shudder down her body.

The cameras were probably gone by now.
