His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2158

Avery said, "Didn't you say that you didn't have the time to take your phone out since you landed? How did you hear that Dean has been discharged?"

Elliot said, "When you video-called me, the text from Chad happened to pop up. I happened to see that sentence."

"Is it so coincidental?"

"Mm-hmm. It's really a coincidence. Could you be thinking that I didn't contact you after I got off the plane but I contacted someone else?" Elliot could already sense her jealousy through the phone.

"Alright. I'll believe you then," Avery said while leaning against the headboard. "I won't attend Angela's funeral. Don't worry." "Mm-hmm. Layla and Robert have grown up a little." "Our children are not the only ones who have grown up, I saw that Tiffany and

Kiara have grown up as well." Avery smiled "We've also grown older!"

"As long as we're still young at heart, we won't be old." Elliot did not want to admit that he has gotten older, much less admit that Avery has gotten older.

Just like how no matter how old Layla got, in his eyes, Layla would forever be a child.

In his eyes, Avery would forever be that confident and dazzling woman.

"I see that you're glowing, so you must be in a very good mood!" Avery looked at his spirited face, and she became as happy as him. "If I had known better, I would have returned together with you."

"All of them are looking forward to you and Hayden's return as well.”

"There's a possibility for me to return. As for Hayden, just forget it. He certainly would want to finish his studies here before he would consider returning and settling down." Avery lay down in bed. "It looks like he likes it more here in Bridgedale. If he chooses to settle down in Bridgedale, I wouldn't be against it."

"Mm-hmm. He can stay wherever he wants. It's very convenient to travel now anyway, so it's convenient to go anywhere."

Avery yawned. When she reached out her hand to rub her eye, her grip on the phone loosened for a moment, and then with a thud, her phone crashed into the bridge of her nose.

She was in so much pain that she

screamed.

"Avery! Are you alright?" Elliot heard her screaming through the phone and his heart almost stopped.

Layla, who was in the dining room, heard her father's voice, so she was the first to run over.

"What happened to my mom?!"

Immediately after, one by one, all the others ran toward Elliot.

On the other end of the video call, Avery heard the commotion on Elliot’s end and was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide under the covers.

"Layla, I'm fine..." Avery covered her nose, which was in pain, and looked at the camera with embarrassment.

Before she finished her sentence, everyone’s faces were fighting to appear on the screen at the other end of the video call.

"I'm really fine... I was lying in bed while talking just now and my phone accidentally fell on my face." Avery was feeling so awkward that she did not know if she should laugh or cry.

"Avery, is your nose alright?" Tammy asked with concern as she saw that she kept covering her nose.

"It's fine. It's alright. It's just a little painful. It's nothing serious." She moved her hand that was covering her nose away to show everybody.

Indeed, it looked alright in the video call.

However, Avery reckoned that her nose would be bruised the next day.

"Go to bed earlier then! Don't hold your phone while lying in bed in the future.

What happens if it falls and hits your eye?"

"Mm-hmm. I'm already going to sleep. All of you just go and have your dinner then!" Avery said awkwardly.

After she ended the video call, Avery got out of bed to take a look at her nose in front of the mirror.

Her nose looked red but it was not bruised.

She was too lazy to go and get the first aid kit, so she simply lay down in bed and slept.

When she woke up the following day and took a look, a patch on her nose was indeed bruised.

She first washed her face and then she got a piece of plaster to cover up the bruised part of her nose.

When she was having breakfast, she looked at her phone and a notification for a piece of news popped up.

Angela's funeral and memorial service would be starting at nine in the morning sharp that day.

Angela was a recipient of the Marshall's Award, so many people from the medical field would certainly attend her funeral.

Avery was actually very tempted to go to the venue to have a look, but she also knew that it would be potentially dangerous if she were to go. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
