Ava, who was crying while eating the buns, immediately put down the buns when she heard the noise. She wiped away her tears.Although Ava moved quickly, Naya still spotted her wiping away her tears.Naya snickered and sneered.“Only you and your mother would use despicable means just so you can have Dan all to yourself.”Ava sorted her emotions and glanced at Naya indifferently. She was not in the mood to argue with Naya. Plus, it was reasonable for Daniel's mother to want to see Daniel, so Ava thought about going out first to avoid unnecessary trouble.However, just as Ava was about to turn around, she heard Naya's disdainful rant from behind. “Mrs. Graham, look. Dan isn’t waking up at all, unlike what the doctor said. The doctor only followed someone’s instructions and said that on purpose so that a certain someone can stay by Dan's side alone.”Daniel's mother heard this and looked at Daniel's haggard and pale face. She felt both uncomfortable and dissatisfied. Out of the corn
Raegan knew that she heard it right, but when the word left Ava’s mouth, Raegan felt like she was dreaming.“Mom,” she said.To Raegan, that word felt like a dream.While Raegan was still in a daze, Ava spoke again.“I'm really thankful for you. Thank you for taking care of me and Danny all this while. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”Ava's attitude was sincere.Raegan felt tears sting the corners of her eyes. She was a calm person, but right now, she was so excited that she could not even say a word.“T-This is what I should do,” Raegan stammered a little when she spoke, her overly excited emotions making her beating heart tremble even more.“Ava, are you willing to forgive me?” Raegan could not help asking after a while.Ava looked at Raegan's hopeful eyes and lowered her eyes in disappointment.“There's nothing to be forgiven. I just know that seeing you at this moment makes me feel at ease.” Ava expressed her true feelings.Raegan was very satisfied despite not
Naya was standing behind the door of the ward. Upon seeing the scene outside the door through the small window, she rolled her eyes unhappily. Unexpectedly, her provocation just now had led to Ava and Raegan’s reconciliation.This was beyond her expectation.Naya gritted her teeth and looked back at Daniel, who was unresponsive on the hospital bed. She felt distressed and also irritable.‘Please don't blame me, Dan.‘I didn't mean to hurt you. If you want to blame someone, blame Ava.‘We were childhood sweethearts and we’re a match made in heaven. It was Ava, an outsider, who suddenly intervened in our relationship.‘If it weren’t for this woman, I believe we would have already gotten married.‘Ava should have died. You’re supposed to be safe and sound.’“Sigh, I wonder when Dan will wake up. It's been so many days and he's still like this.”Naya came back to her senses when she heard Mrs. Graham’s worries. Then, she put on her good girl act and walked over to comfort her.
Naya held the doorknob, and it did not look like she was going to open the door completely to let others in. However, when she heard that the person knocking on the door was Madeline, the arrogant look on her face dissipated in an instant.“Mrs. Whitman, it’s you.” Naya curled her lips while pretending to be calm. However, all she could think about was what Madeline and Jeremy had found in the parking lot.She still did not know what Madeline picked up at the time.Madeline returned a faint smile. “Yes, it’s me, Miss Mendez. I have something important to ask you.”Madeline said and glanced at the ward. “Come out and talk. Let Dan rest.“What can’t be said here? Why does she have to go out to talk?” Daniel's mother came over with a displeased expression, her eyes also filled with doubts.“Mrs. Whitman, you’re not trying to deceive us and have some irrelevant people come in by saying that, right?”Seeing that Daniel's mother was still talking to Naya at this time, Madeline raised
“Ava, don't worry. Dan will get better and the culprit will be caught soon,” Madeline said while fixing her gaze on Naya.“Miss Mendez, I heard that you were called by the police for questioning yesterday. Can you tell me what the police asked you?” Madeline asked with a smile.When Naya heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong but she did not want these people to gain any clues. Therefore, she pretended to be confused. “Mrs. Whitman, this involves the police’s investigation. I don’t think you have the right to ask me about it.”“Indeed, I don't have the right to ask such a question. But my husband does.”As soon as Madeline finished speaking, Jeremy walked up behind her.Jeremy was parking the car earlier, so Madeline came to the ward first to look for Naya.Daniel's mother became more and more confused when she heard that. Then, she glanced at Jeremy who was getting closer and closer. “When did Jeremy become a police officer? Eveline, are you fooling us?”“I d
After Madeline said that, everyone aside from Jeremy was stunned.“W-What? Eveline, what are you saying?” Daniel’s mother was confused. Then, she scoffed. “Eveline, do you know what you’re talking about? Are you saying that Naya was the one who caused Dan’s accident?”“That’s right. She did it,” Madeline answered quickly and affirmatively.When Ava heard Madeline’s firm answer once again, she could not keep calm anymore. “Maddie, are you telling the truth? Naya was the one who tampered with my car? Not the thug Chloe hired?”Madeline shook her head softly. “It wasn’t that thug.” Her piercing gaze landed on Naya’s face. “Chloe did hire a thug to break into your car, but he only got into your car and stole some valuables. He didn’t tamper with the brakes.”“So, the person who did it was Naya. She wanted me dead, right?” Ava started to get emotional.“Yes, it was her. I can vouch for what I said.” Madeline walked in front of Naya. She could tell that Naya’s expression was very unnat
“Some time ago, Miss Long’s boyfriend, who’s also my childhood sweetheart Daniel, got into a serious accident. Do you know what’s interesting?”Naya paused as she said that and lifted her arrogant eyebrows.“They’re saying that I caused the accident. I have nothing to do with that accident at all but they’re unjustly blaming me using their powerful backgrounds. They’re even trying to—”“Naya, you don’t have to quibble anymore. Since I came to look for you, it means I’m very confident.”Madeline calmly interrupted Naya and turned around to look at the crowd that had started to gather around them.“I’m sure everyone has heard about the serious accident that took place near the big supermarket recently. The person who got hurt is Daniel Graham, the eldest son of the Grahams, one of the four richest families in Glendale. Just now, Miss Mendez said I’m falsely accusing her and she has nothing to do with the car accident. I want to emphasize that the accident was a deliberate murder att
Even though Daniel’s mother denied it, she still wanted to know the results of the appraisal.She was very dissatisfied because that appraisal expert did not tell her at once when she got the results but instead, she asked Madeline to send the report to her.Naya’s eyes also unconsciously landed on the papers Madeline was holding. This time, she had no idea whether Madeline was deliberately faking this.Madeline did not give Naya the chance to guess either, and she did not let Daniel’s mother feel conflicted for too long. She immediately took the papers in her hand and showed the results to them.The eyes of Daniel’s mother widened as the items listed on the papers were all the items she sent for appraisal. There were 33 items, not one item more or one item less.Then, she noticed the results of the appraisal. What shocked her was that there was not a single ‘authentic’ remark on the report. All of them were fake!Of course, Naya saw the results as well. Her face was just like Da
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
