His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 2218

Chapter 2218

Everything before him instantly seemed clearer as soon as he woke up.

Wondering where he was, he frowned and struggled to breathe. He tried to move his fingers and was relieved that he could still feel them; he then tried to move his arm but it felt so heavy that he could barely lift it, let alone get out of bed.

Elliot did not dare close his eyes because memories were coming back to him, reminding him of what had happened.

He had surgery to take the device inside his head out. He should have been dead, but he had not felt alive until this very moment when he could no longer feel the throbbing in his head.

He heard the sound of the machines running and smelt the sharp scent of sanitizer in the air. Of all this was proof that he was alive.

It felt so good to be alive, and even though he could not move, there was hope as long as he was alive.

He had hoped to recover, to see Avery, his children, and his friends again...

When the nurse found out that he was awake, she immediately went to inform Avery.

Avery burst into tears of joy and the nurse said, "Miss Tate, Mr. Foster is awake now. Go inside and see him!"

Snapping out of the initial shock, Avery hurried into the ICU ward alongside the nurse.

In Elliot's mansion, Hayden went home with Layla, and Robert immediately grabbed Layla's hand to pull her closer, so that the two of them would sit on the opposite side of Hayden. Robert did not

know much about his older brother, and because Hayden was naturally distant, Robert felt as though he needed to win his sister's attention.

"Robert, have you said hello to Hayden?" Layla lifted Robert up and handed him to Hayden. "Call him Big Brother, or you won't get any gifts."

Without hesitation, he obeyed at the mention of gifts. "Big Brother!"

Hayden's mouth twitched and he said, "I didn't buy you any gifts."

They had been in too much of a hurry to buy anyone any gifts, and though Hayden had time during the day, he had spent that time sleeping at home.

Once Robert realized he had been fooled, he started sobbing.

"Why are you crying? We can get Hayden to buy us gifts after dinner later!" Layla was used to handling Robert's tantrums. "Just go over there to think about what you want!"

Just like that, Layla got rid of her little brother.

"Hayden, you can ignore my friends if you don't want to talk to them. There's no need to interact with them just because they are my friends." Layla knew that her friends could be far too childish. Her friends had tried to get Hayden's contact, and when he claimed that he didn't have his phone with him, they took out pens and paper from their school bags and requested that he write the number on the paper instead.

Though they all used smart watches at school, they had their own phones at home.

"Layla, you are going to be in secondary school soon, so focus on your studies and stop thinking about pointless things." Hayden did not pay Layla's friends any mind at all. Even if they texted him, it wouldn't be long before their enthusiasm wore off.

"You all keep telling me that. Even if I study well and get into the best college, what difference will it make when I graduate? I would either run my own business or find a job that I like. Even if I don't go to school, I can still do that when I'm of age!"

"It's exactly because you refuse to study that you are this empty-headed and would say something like that. Studying doesn't just guarantee you a job when you graduate, it broadens your views and widens your horizons," Hayden said.
