When His Eyes Opened

Chapter 224

Avery’s car doors were locked!

There was only a piece of glass between them, and Elliot had no way of getting to her.

The bodyguard rushed over with an emergency hammer, smashed the windshield open, and jumped into the car.

Once he was in the bodyguard unlocked the doors.

Elliot opened the door to the driver’s seat and took Avery in his arms.

She had no visible injuries, but her breathing was shallow!

She looked as if she was in a coma.

Otherwise, she would have been startled awake when the bodyguard broke the windshield.

At the hospital, after giving Avery a thorough examination, the doctor said, “She fainted from lack of oxygen. You sent her here just in time, so she‘s not in any danger. All she needs is some rest. She‘ll be fine when she wakes up.”

“How did she end up with a lack of oxygen? Did her test results show that something was wrong?” Elliot asked.

“Her blood tests showed that all of her vitals are fine... Apart from some low blood sugar, there weren‘t any issues,” answered the doctor as he took a look at the report, then handed it over to Elliot.

“Why is she still unconscious? When will she wake up? Does she really not need to be hospitalized?”

Seeing Avery‘s haggard face, Elliot could not help but feel that things were not as simple as they seemed.

There were no external injuries, but she had ended up unconscious in a locked car.

This meant that she had most likely suffered some kind of internal injury.

“She‘s probably tired, Mr. Foster. That‘s why she‘s sleeping deeply and hasn’t woken up,” the doctor explained, then added in case Elliot did not believe him, “Look at the dark circles under her eyes and her bloodshot eyes.”

The doctor gently lifted Avery‘s eyelid for Elliot to see.

Elliot finally felt a sense of relief after seeing the redness in Avery’s eyes.

He thought of how she must have nodded off while she was driving and finally fell asleep on

the steering wheel

What exactly had she been so busy with? Was she not getting any sleep at all?

Otherwise, how did she get so tired to the point of locking herself in her car?

If he had not found her, or if he was a little late, she would have been in grave danger.

An hour later, Elliot took Avery back to the Foster mansion, then called Laura to explain things to her.

“Why did you take my daughter to your house?!” Laura demanded as a chill went down her spine.

“The doctor said she didn’t need to be hospitalized, so I brought her here to rest,” Elliot answered.

“You know where we live, so why didn‘t you send her back here?!”

Laura wanted to go pick Avery up, but she had to look after Hayden and Layla.

She could not very well bring the children along to the Foster mansion.

It was too big a risk.

“You wouldn‘t be so quick to blame me if you knew what happened.”

Elliot had intentionally brought Avery back to his house.

He wanted to know the reason why she was so tired.

His voice made Laura‘s heart skip a few beats.

“What does that mean? What‘s wrong with Avery? What happened?!”

“She‘s fine for now. She‘s sleeping right now, but she‘ll go home once she wakes up,” said Elliot. “If you‘re worried, you can come over with the children. I won‘t mind.”

“... I‘ll get Wesley to go check on her,” said Laura.

An hour later, Wesley arrived at the Foster mansion. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Did you say she fell asleep at the wheel?” Wesley asked in disbelief. “She locked herself in her car?!”

Elliot looked at him with cold eyes as he asked, “What‘s your relationship with Avery, Mr. Brook?”
