His Eagle Eyes on Me -
Chapter 320
Chapter 320
When Mike realized he said something wrong, his hand shot up to cover his mouth.
"You've been infiltrated!" Avery sighed.
"No way! He hasn't been asking about us recently," Mike said as his pale blue eyes rolled. "I'm sure!
He's not as good a drinker as I am. I get him drunk every time we drink together. He isn't capable of
getting anything out of me."
Avery did not doubt the veracity of his words.
She was just worried that he was hiding something from her or that he might one day be infiltrated.
"If you fall for Chad's pillow talk..."
A pained expression appeared on Mike's face.
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Are you planning on continuing to help Shea unconditionally?
It's a huge loss to not ask Elliot Foster for medical fees!"
Avery shook her head and said, "There won't be a next time. It's not that I won't help her. It's just that
her condition is too severe and there are limits to my abilities. There's no way of knowing how her
condition will be after this surgery, but she won't be worse off than she was before." "Doesn't that mean
Shea would have to suffer if Elliot
doesn't know about the situation and continues to get her treatment?" Mike said regretfully. "Elliot might
be a dirtbag, but Shea... She might be mentally disabled, but she's still adorable and sweet!"
Avery did not retaliate.
She was beginning to feel tired.
She wanted to go home and catch up on some sleep.
At the hospital, Elliot stood by Shea's bed and watched her pale, haggard face.
He hoped that her condition would have improved when she woke up.
It would be even better if she could remember what happened before the surgery last night.
He really wanted to know what happened during that time.
Zoe opened the door and entered the room.
Elliot glanced at her and said, "You should go home and rest. I'll let you know when she wakes up."
Zoe's pregnancy was clearly showing.
Elliot felt conflicted about the child she was carrying, but he was grateful to her for Shea's treatment.
His people had yet to be able to contact Eric Santos.
It was as if he had vanished off the face of the earth.
For now, he still had to depend on Zoe for Shea's treatment.
"I think you're the one who needs to rest. You stayed up all night when Shea went missing, didn't you?"
Zoe said as she walked to Elliot's side and patted his shoulder. "Go home and rest, Elliot. I'll watch over
things here."
Elliot lowered his gaze and took her in.
On top of being gentle and kind, Zoe had superb medical skills. He could not replace fault in her. 2
He could not help but ask himself why he could not be nicer to her.
"I'll leave after Shea wakes up," Elliot said.
He was tired, but he would not be able to sleep even if he went home now.
"Go home and rest, Zoe."
At his insistence, Zoe could only do as she was told.
Shea woke up about an hour after Zoe left.
Her eyes were stone-cold as she glanced around her unfamiliar surroundings.
Elliot did not blink.
He had never seen that look in Shea's eyes before!
In layman's terms, her mental disability made her a moron and an idiot. She laughed when she was
happy and cried when she was not. Other than that, she had no other complex emotions or
expressions.
However, she was different now!
This was the result of the surgery!
Elliot did not expect the effects to be this obvious.
"How do you feel, Shea?" he asked as he held her cold hand and gazed eagerly at her.
Shea studied his face for a few seconds, then fluttered her eyelashes and asked hoarsely, "Where's
Avery? Wasn't she talking to me? Where is she?"
Elliot felt as if his heart had stopped.
He took in a shaky breath and asked, "When did she talk to you?!"
Avery had been at a hotel with Mike since the night before!
"Just now!" Shea said lightly.
Elliot was dumbfounded.
