When His Eyes Opened (Avery and Elliott)

Chapter 319 “Are you finally up?” Elliot asked mockingly.

Avery laid back on the bed, then massaged her aching temples and said, “Weren’t you the one who called and woke me up? Why did you call?” “I saw you drive out of the neighborhood last night at 10.30 p.m., Avery. Where did you go that late at night?” Elliot asked.

Avery gave Mike, who was sitting at the end of the bed, a little kick and shot him a look.

Then, she answered Elliot’s question.

“Mike had too much to drink last night. The bar called to ask me to go settle his check for him, so I drove out to where he was… He was in a drunken craze. I was worried he’s wake the kids if we went home, so we got a room at a nearby hotel… What’s up? Are you interested in going bar hopping? Should I get him to invite you next time?”

Elliot’s brows furrowed.

Why was Avery’s answer different from what he had imagined?

“Is there anything else?” Avery asked as she let out a yawn. “Mike kept me up all night last night… I’m exhausted. I’m hanging up if that’s all!”

Just as she was about to end the call, she asked as if something just occurred to her, “By the way, did you manage to find Shea?”

That final sentence made Elliot give up hope.

Avery was not the one who sent Shea to the hospital.
