When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 548

As time ticked by, the sky outside began to turn dark.

It suddenly began to rain. It was not a heavy storm, but it was enough to make one feel uneasy.

“The medicine has cooled down, Miss Tate.”

A voice snapped Avery back to reality. She walked over to the wooden tub and placed her hand in the liquid to test the temperature.

“Put the corpse in!” she said.

“Oh… Wouldn’t the body rot if we put it in?” David’s assistant asked in suspicion. “Can you really bring the dead back to life, Miss Tate?”

Avery shot him a cold look and said, “Are you doubting me?”

“I’m just curious.”

“This is a special concoction,” Avery said confidently. “The corpse won’t rot.”

Seeing her seriousness, the assistant no longer doubted her.

A few bodyguards picked up the woman’s corpse and placed it into the wooden tub.

Avery saw the different levels of anxiety on the men’s faces.

No matter how beautiful she was, nobody would be able to appreciate the beauty of a thirteen year-old corpse.

The dead were not frightening, what was scary was the fear of the unknown.

“What do we do next, Miss Tate?” asked the assistant.

“Now, we wait,” Avery said calmly as she stood next to the tub.

The assistant was surprised and asked, “Wait for what?”

“Wait for her to come back to life.” After Avery said those words, she began to feel terrified. She looked out the window, then said, “Don’t you think it’s dark in here? Turn on the lights!”

The assistant felt that she was babbling, but signaled to the bodyguard next to him anyway.

The bodyguard flipped the light switch, but the chandelier on the ceiling did not light up.

“Where’s Avery Tate?!” An ominous feeling rose inside of David. “She’s upstairs. The bodyguards are watching her!” said the assistant as he followed next to David. “Someone infiltrated and damaged the mansion’s electrical circuit. It was definitely Avery Tate’s people. I suspect they will strike tonight.”

David had already guessed it.

The key issue right now was that, without electricity, he felt like he had turned blind.

“How about the emergency lights?!” he snapped frustratedly.

The assistant turned on the torch on his phone and said, “The emergency system was also damaged. The technicians will fix it as soon as possible.”

“What a bunch of good-for-nothing idiots! We have all those backup generators. Were they all damaged?!” David’s rage had reached a boiling point.

“Yes, Sir,” answered the assistant nervously. “They might have damaged our electrical circuit, but we don’t have to be afraid with Avery Tate in our hands!”

A group of people very quickly arrived on the second floor.

“Avery Tate! Is your man coming to save you tonight?” David teased as he pulled out a handgun. “Try to guess and see if you can leave this place alive!” What responded to him was nothing but endless silence.
