When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 991

Chapter 991 

Avery froze in horror! 

"If I ate those cherries, I'd definitely be dead, too!"

Layla burst into gut wrenching sobs.

Avery immediately picked Layla out of the child safety seat and held her in her arms.

"Don't cry sweetie.You're safe now! You'll always be safe! We won't eat at school again! I'll get the driver to send you food every day!"

Layla sobbed breathlessly and said, "Kiki was my friend, Mommy.She died right next to me...I'm scared...I'm so scared!"

Avery's eyes welled up as her emotions slowly crumbled and she burst into tears, too.

According to Layla, if Kiki died from eating Layla's cherries, then Layla was the target all along! If Kiki had not eaten the cherries that were meant for Layla, then Layla would be the one who died today.

Over at Rosacus City, after a few hours on an IV drip, Ben slowly awakened.

He saw Elliot talking on the phone not too far away from him.

"How did a drug meant for euthanasia turn up in a school cafeteria?! How did it end up in my daughter's fruit bowl?! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, then you can forget about your job as school principal!"

Elliot's fury had reached its limit! He had completely forgotten that he was in a patient's room.

"Elliot..."

Ben called out weakly after hearing about the euthanasia drug.

"What happened? Did something happen to Layla?"

When Elliot heard Ben's voice, he immediately hung up the phone.

He strode over to the bed, then gazed at Ben and said, "How are you feeling? Something happened at Layla's school, so I need to rush back.Do you want to come with me? Or do you want to rest here for now, and I'll get a bodyguard to take you home later?"

"What happened at Layla's school?"

Ben's instincts told him that things were not as simple as they seemed, so he sat up and said, "I heard you mention a euthanasia drug."

"Someone poisoned Layla's fruit earlier today.The drug that was used is usually used for euthanasia."

Elliot gritted his teeth.
