When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 

Why are you shouting at me?! Of course Mommy taught me to knock before going into someone’s house, but she never said anything about knocking before entering a dirtbag’s house!” Layla retorted in a voice louder than Elliots as she glared at him with her brilliant eyes.

It was as if she was competing with him to see whose voice was louder and more powerful.

Elliot gritted his teeth.

Dirtbag

Who taught her to say that

I didnt want to come here anyway! Im leaving right now!Layla huffed angrily, then jumped off the couch and walked towards the front door with her doll in her arms.

At the hospital, after going through a series of routine tests, Avery asked Mike for his phone so she could call Laura

Her phone was dead and she needed to let her mother know she was safe.

Mike pulled out his phone and handed it to her

Laura answered the call soon after it rang.

Its Avery, Mom,Avery said with a smile. Im fine. I was too tired yesterday and fell asleep. You dont have to worry about me. Mike and Hayden are with me, so well head home soon.”

Thats good,Laura said. Ill start cooking now.” 

Alright, Mom. Wheres Layla? I miss her. I want to hear her voice.” 

Laura was shocked.

Mike took Layla with him to go find you! Isnt she with you right now?!” 

Averys face changed drastically

Her hand tightened around the phone as her emotions shattered.

Before she blew up, Mike smacked himself on the forehead and exclaimed, “I forgot about Layla! She must still be at Elliot Fosters house! Ill go get her right now!” 

Avery followed him without hesitation.

“You need to wait here for the test results!” Mike said.

“You wait here with Hayden! I’ll go get Layla!” Avery snapped in a tone that said she would

not tolerate another word from Mike. Im taking your phone! Ill meet you back here once I have Layla.”

Avery rushed out of the hospital and hailed a cab.

Once she was in the backseat, she pulled out Mikes phone and dialed Eliot’s number.

She prayed that Layla was still at the Foster mansion and did not run off somewhere else.

That would be even more dangerous

Over at the Foster mansion, Elliot picked Layla up and did not allow her to leave.

His gesture lit a fuse in Layla and she exploded in his arms

Let me go, you dirtbag! Youve hugged other women and I dont want you touching me!” Layla yelled with furrowed brows as she repeatedly landed blows on Elliots body with her tiny fists.

Shea felt bad for her brother, but she also did not dare touch Layla.

All she could do was watch them with reddened eyes.

At that moment, the phone Elliot placed on the table began to ring

Mrs. Cooper quickly handed the phone over to him

Elliot held Layla in one hand and answered the phone with another

Its Avery. Is my daughter there with you?Avery said in a panic-stricken voice. Im so sorry! Ive caused so much trouble for you.” 

Layla vaguely heard her mothers voice, then snatched the phone out of Elliot’s hand and cried, Mommy! Is that you?! Its your little baby, Layla!” 

Averys eyes filled with tears when she heard her daughters voice

Layla! Im so sorry! I didnt know you came along so I forgot to take you with us when we left. Mommys on the way now. Dont be scared...” 

Im not scared! I knew Mommy would come get me!” 

“Of course!”

Once she was done talking, Layla handed the phone back to Elliot.

Her sparkling eyes stared unblinking at his pale neck as she asked sweetly, “Which side did my brother bite you last time?”

Elliot pointed out the spot on his neck to her

Oh... Theres still a mark!Layla said, then bit down on the other side of Elliots neck

Elliot was at a loss for words

He thought she asked him about his wound out of the kindness of her heart and wanted to apologize for her brother, but this was her motive

Elliot had run out of patience

So what if she was Averys biological daughter? He had to teach her a lesson once and for all
