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
Madeline was surprised by what Daniel's mother said. Ava also looked at Daniel's mother in astonishment after hearing what she said. “Mrs. Graham, what did you just say?” Ava looked in disbelief at Daniel's mother and Naya, who was standing beside Daniel's mother with a small smile.It was obvious that Naya had said something to Daniel's mother. Otherwise, Daniel's mother would not have suddenly changed her mind at this time, calling Naya her future daughter-in-law.“I was very clear just now. Do you really not understand or do you want me to repeat it to further humiliate yourself?”Mrs. Graham’s tone was very aggressive, and her eyes looked even more vicious.“I shouldn't have agreed to let you get together with Dan, you bringer of misfortune! If Dan can't wake up, I’ll definitely take you to court! I’ll make you pay!”Daniel's mother walked past Ava after warning her angrily. Naya also followed Daniel's mother, but when she passed by Ava, she deliberately bumped Ava with her
In the next few hours, Naya stayed at the door of the intensive care unit and never left. After another hour, Daniel’s mother finally left. As soon as she left, Naya immediately took out her mobile phone and called Chloe, but after several calls, Chloe still did not answer.Naya could not sit still anymore. When she was about to call again, Chloe took the initiative to call her back.She answered the call without hesitation and asked, “Why didn’t you answer your calls or reply to my messages? Where have you been? Do you know that something bad has happened?”Chloe, who was on the other end, was immediately scolded and questioned by Naya. It took a few seconds before she answered in a daze.“What? Who are you? Are you Naya? I was out playing and my phone ran out of battery. Why are you so urgently looking for me?”“Have you been drinking too much? Where the hell are you? Don’t you know that something bad has happened?”“What's the matter? Let’s talk when I wake up. I haven't sle
Chloe suddenly shuddered. Then, she hurriedly put on her clothes and went to open the door.She thought it was room service, but when the door opened, she saw two policemen.Chloe was stunned. She thought the police might be here to investigate her sleeping with a strange man in the hotel after she had too much fun in the bar last night.However, this was very common nowadays, so Chloe did not worry too much about it.“Officers, what's the matter? I don’t think sleeping with the temporary boyfriend I found in the bar last night is illegal, right?”The police had no intention of going around in circles with Chloe at all. They made their intentions clear in a straightforward manner, “Chloe Tawney, you’re suspected of being involved in a criminal case. Please go back with us immediately to assist in the investigation.”Upon hearing this, Chloe felt ill.She felt as if all of her energy had been drained all at once. It took her a few seconds to react. “No, no, what criminal case am
Naya did not want anything to go wrong at this crucial juncture, so she deliberately pretended to persuade Chloe.“Didn’t I tell you that we shouldn’t do something like this? But you persuaded me, saying that it's okay and no one will find out. You also promised me that you wouldn’t implicate me. Now that the police have found you, they’ll come to look for me too when the time comes. Even though I didn’t do anything, perhaps I’ll still be implicated by you.”After listening to Naya's complaints, Chloe did not think much of them. Instead, she said in a panic, “I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I just wanted money…”She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She wanted to tell Naya that she did not get anyone to do anything to the car, but she was afraid that she would offend Naya and have to pay back the money. When that happened, she would have trouble from both sides.Maybe Naya could still rely on her connections to protect her in this situation.Hence, she jus
When Daniel's mother saw Madeline and Ava looking behind her, she turned back curiously. She was a little surprised when she saw the two policemen.“Officers, what's the matter? Who are you looking for?”Daniel's mother asked with a perplexed expression. Then, something seemed to click in her head. She suddenly pointed at Ava.“You're here to arrest this woman, aren't you? My son got into an accident because he drove her car!”Madeline was utterly speechless when she saw Mrs. Graham’s actions, but she was sure the police were not looking for Ava.Sure enough, the next second, the police looked at Naya who was standing beside Daniel's mother. They asked with a serious expression, “Are you Naya Mendez?”Upon seeing this, Daniel's mother was even more surprised. “Y-You’re looking for Naya? What did Naya do?”Naya ignored Mrs. Graham’s confused and shocked expression when she saw that.She had already expected the police to come to look for her, but she did not expect them to be so
As Madeline said that, she shifted her sharp gaze to Naya's face.“That means the person that tampered with the brakes of the car was trying to murder my friend.”Madeline's use of the word ‘murder’ was no exaggeration.After listening to Madeline's analysis, Ava felt a chill run down her spine.It turned out that it was Naya and Chloe who wanted to harm her again.This time, they even wanted to take her life!Ava looked silently in Daniel's direction with heartache. Suddenly, she clenched her fists and rushed in front of Naya. She grabbed Naya’s collar, not allowing Naya to react and break free. After that, Ava immediately slapped her across the face. Slap!“Ah!”Naya screamed in pain and covered her face subconsciously.“Naya Mendez, you despicable rat! You evil woman!”Ava cursed.The police and Madeline stepped forward at the same time to pull Ava away, while Daniel's mother went up to defend Naya.“How dare you slap Naya, you bringer of misfortune?!”“So what if I s
Daniel's mother was frozen in place when she saw that everyone had gone.Knowing that the car accident was a deliberate attempt, she felt even more resentful.However, she still insisted that this matter was not related to Naya. Naya was so good and often complimented her, pleased her, and would also give her luxury gifts from time to time.Then, Daniel's mother paused, recalling what Ava just said.Were all those luxury goods that Naya gave her fakes and counterfeits?Daniel's mother’s heart was racing. She wanted to go back immediately to look for the gifts Naya gave her and do an appraisal, but she was still worried about Daniel. Hence, she stayed at the door of the intensive care unit for now.Inside the police station.Naya was taken directly into the interrogation room while Madeline and Ava were waiting in the hall.Upon seeing that Ava was in a bad mood, Madeline pulled her to sit down on the chair.Ava had remained silent the whole journey here and she was still not s
