At this moment, Ava was nestled in Daniel’s arms in her apartment. They were watching a movie that was playing on the projector screen in front of them.They rarely had the weekend together so they originally planned to go out and have a stroll to relax, but it happened to be raining lightly today.In addition to it being the transition period from late winter to early spring, it was extremely cold and humid outside. Hence, they chose to seek warmth from each other and watch a movie in the apartment instead. They had also asked Madeline and Jeremy to come over for dinner in the evening. The timing would be just right if they started cooking after finishing the movie. However, as Ava was watching the movie, her mind wandered slightly.She went to Graham Manor with Daniel two days ago, and once again, she could clearly feel the change in Daniel's mother's attitude toward herself.In the past, she would ignore Ava and roll her eyes at her with disgust. Now, she would greet Ava warml
About half an hour later, Madeline and Jeremy arrived.Seeing that Madeline had brought fruits and her homemade dessert, Ava pretended to be depressed. “Maddie, If I knew you would bring fruits and desserts, I wouldn't have asked Danny to go out to buy them.”“What? Do you feel bad that your future husband is outside in such cold weather?” Madeline teased while helping Ava prepare dinner.Ava was used to it and she admitted, saying, “Yes, of course. I feel bad since it’s so cold out there. You’d feel the same way if it was your man.” It was an open concept kitchen, so Madeline glanced at Jeremy, who was sitting on the sofa watching the projector screen while eating fruits. She said indifferently, “He and I have been married for so long. How would we be as sentimental as you two?”“Married for so long, huh? You’re not any less sweet than those young couples fresh in love,” Ava replied with a smile and subconsciously looked at the time. “I'll give Danny a call.”Ava wiped her han
“Ava!”Madeline shouted in Ava's direction, but Ava had already rushed into the crowd.Jeremy looked curiously at Ava who was suddenly behaving frantically and came up with a possibility in his mind. He was about to speak when Madeline hurriedly opened the door and followed.He did not think much before he rushed out of the car to chase after Madeline.There were many people in front of her, so Ava pushed the crowd away and came to the front. When she saw the familiar vehicle, her blood seemed to be chilled by the cold wind. The bright red scene in front of her turned dark gray in her eyes.She collapsed to the ground limply almost instantly.The people around her were puzzled. They all thought that Ava was frightened by the scene of the car accident.Madeline could smell the blood before she even got close. Her heartbeat gradually became uneasy too. When she saw the car in front of her that had gotten into an accident, she was stunned.This was Ava's car. She was not mistaken.
Naya's uncontrollable joy was about to pour out of her. She quickly went to search for more relevant videos of the car accident and was browsing through them happily. However, before she could be happy for long, the smile on her face suddenly froze.She saw Ava crying in the crowd and Madeline beside her.Then, she saw paramedics lifting a man covered in blood onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.Although the video was not high-definition enough, Naya still recognized the man lying on the stretcher as Daniel at a glance!Naya's mind immediately became muddled. She felt so uncomfortable that she could not breathe normally.She could not believe this, and neither did she want to believe that it was Daniel who had gotten into an accident—not Ava.She looked at a few more videos and the scene that caught her eye told her that she was not mistaken. It was indeed Daniel who had gotten into the accident.Naya's hand shook violently, causing her phone to drop to her feet. The comme
She hoped that Daniel was not in any danger, but the nervous Naya only got an uncertain answer.“The doctor is doing all he can to rescue Dan. Dan is a good man and he’ll be blessed by God, so I’m sure it won’t be too serious. Mr. and Mrs. Graham, sit down with us. Let’s wait for the operation to be over.” Madeline persuaded in a friendly tone. She did not want to tell them not to worry too much. As parents, how could they not worry about their child?Daniel's parents listened to Madeline. The worry on their face intensified, and Daniel's mother also started crying inconsolably.“How could this be? How could such a thing happen to Dan? He was fine when he left the house in the morning and now he’s in the operating room covered in blood! How could this be?”Daniel's mother cried sadly while leaning against Daniel's father.Madeline did not know how to comfort her, and Ava, who was beside her, wept even harder when she heard Daniel's mother crying.“Ava, don't cry.” Madeline trie
Madeline said a few words to Jeremy and stayed with Ava.She was Ava's only friend. Back then when she was helpless, only Ava was there by her side.She could not let Ava face this alone. Right now, Ava needed comfort and someone to rely on the most.Jeremy could emphasize, so he listened to Madeline and went back first.Naya, who had been hiding in the distance and paying attention to the situation, saw that almost everyone had left. Hence, she did not stay there any longer.Naya drove away immediately, but not in the direction of her apartment but Graham Manor.In her initial plan, the person who was supposed to get into a car accident was Ava. However, Daniel took Ava’s place. Therefore, Naya was angry but at the same time, worried about Daniel.After all, her feelings for Daniel were genuine.Over the years, she had done everything she could to marry Daniel, so it could be said that she really loved this man.However, now that things had turned into this, even if she loved
Daniel's mother suddenly became very emotional.Her initial sadness seemed to be replaced by anger. She stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.Naya could probably guess where Daniel's mother was going, but she pretended to be curious and concerned as she caught up to her.“Mrs. Graham, where are you going? Don't walk so fast. It's raining outside. Be careful. The road is slippery.”“I'm going to look for Ava! I want her to give me back my Dan!” Daniel's mother replied angrily with a sob.When Naya heard the words, she smiled wickedly. However, in order to put on a complete show, she still pretended to go over and stop Daniel's mother.“Mrs. Graham, calm down. What's the use of you going to Ava like this? And have you forgotten? Ava has so many people behind her. Her mother, Eveline, and Jeremy are all standing behind her. It’ll be very hard even if you want justice.”Naya deliberately said this to intensify the conflict between Daniel's mother and Ava.Sure enough, Mrs.
Hospital.Ava watched Daniel all night in the intensive care unit, and Madeline accompanied her.Jeremy went back to the hospital in the middle of the night and brought coats for both women.The corridor of the hospital was very cold. Even if the air conditioner was turned off, Ava's heart would still be cold.Daniel was lying on the hospital bed, and there had been no response from him since he entered the ward.He looked like he was just sleeping, but Ava knew that this was not the case.Madeline looked at Ava's increasingly haggard face and felt heartbroken.“Ava, do you want to go back and rest first? Let Jeremy stay here with Dan. He’ll notify us as soon as there’s any news.”Madeline persuaded. Ava looked at Daniel who was lying on the hospital bed, and her dry eyes became wet again.“I don't want to go back to rest. I'll just sleep here for a while.” Ava declined, still wanting to keep an eye on Daniel here.“How can you have a good rest here? Ava, listen to me and go
