When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026 

She shook her head frantically with tears in her eyes.

"No...Elliot, it's not you...It's really just a nightmare."

Seeing how desperately she tried to explain, he nodded and asked, "Tell me then, what nightmare did you have?"

She took a deep breath to slowly calm herself down.

"I dreamt of the day of our wedding.We were standing in the church surrounded by guests and I was really excited.Suddenly, the roof of the church was lifted and following a blinding ray of light, a gigantic black monster appeared and reached its enormous claw out, before taking you away with it..."

She couldn't help but start sobbing once again.

Elliot believed her and studied her empathetically, "Avery, it's just a dream.It's not real.There's no gigantic monster in this world.Even if there was one, I would kill it before it can take me."

She sighed a breath of relief after seeing his face right next to her.

"Yeah.That dream just seemed so real, so I couldn't help myself.I feel much better to see you next to me now."

"i will hold you while you sleep."

He turned off the light and lay down next to her, before pulling her into his arms.

Avery leaned against his chest and the sorrow she felt slowly faded as his familiar scent surrounded her.

She had come to Elliot’s house tonight not only because she missed him, but also to see if he was affected by Nathan's threat.

If Elliot felt troubled by Nathan, he wouldn't have been able to conceal it, but she had not been able to pick up the slightest hint of fear or anxiety from Elliot.

Did that mean that Elliot did not view Nathan as a threat at all? She drifted off to sleep, but Elliot remained awake.

The sound of her crying still lingered in his mind; it sounded so helpless that Elliot wondered if it was a sign of insecurity.

Was it the normal premarital anxiety, or had she been hiding something from him? He thought back to the recent events of her life.
