His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2008

Avery saw the way Angela's look darkened and how her eyes glittered viciously as though she was going to chase Avery out any second now.

"Ms. Hills, I'm only asking because I went to see Bobby yesterday," Avery blurted out." He hated my guts from the moment he saw me and asked me to leave after a brief exchange."

"Humans tend to experience drastic changes in personality after a traumatic experience like that. I heard from his father that Bobby used to be more mature than Sebastian. It's a shame that he has turned out like this," Angela said. "I did consider treating him myself, but I'm afraid that I'm not capable of it."

Avery gave her a confused look.

"My hands... They started shaking uncontrollably two years ago... It started as a shiver from time to time and didn't cause much damage. But maybe I've exhausted myself lately so the shaking has gotten worse. You are still young and probably won't understand what it's like for older people like us to wake up one day to find out yet another part of our bodies has issues." Angela lifted her arm and glanced at it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that something happened to your hands," Avery said ruefully. "I am here only to visit you. As for Bobby, I've already agreed to treat him and I won't go back on my own words."
