When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence
Chapter 125
Chapter 125 Avery pulled out her phone and called Cole.
“Hello? Avery?” Cole answered.
“Cassandra’s dead. Did you know?”
“What?! What do you mean she’s dead?! I’m at the hospital for a checkup…. She was fine when I talked to her on the phone last night,”
“Did you fight?” “No!” Cole exclaimed.
A few seconds later, almost as if he had remembered something, he added, “I remember now. Cassandra was here when Uncle Elliot came home for dinner last time. It wasn’t a pleasant night. Uncle Elliot told her that she won’t have much longer to live, and she’s been terrified about that conversation ever since-”
“That’s impossible! I was with Elliot all night. He didn’t do anything!”
Cole sighed, then said, “Why do you lose all reason every time Uncle Elliot’s involved? I’m just saying what I know. You’re the only one I’d tell this to. If the police asked me, there’s no way I’ d mention this…”
“Listen up, Cole Foster! You better not have anything to do with Cassandra’s death. The police will get to the bottom of this!”
“It wasn’t me. I don’t have a motive! I wouldn’t resort to murder even if we got into a fight,” Cole responded coldly, then added, “Avery… Ever since you fell in love with Uncle Elliot, I’ve become nothing to you.”
“Please keep that bullsh*t to yourself! What was I to you when you were messing around with Cassandra behind my back?!” Avery snapped, then furiously hung up the phone.
