It was because Daniel loved Ava.Ava held back her tears and approached Daniel step by step. Her heart beat more enthusiastically and wildly with every step closer to him.She looked at his handsome and fair face under the lights. Although she had lost a lot of weight, the gentle look in her eyes was still the same.He was also looking at her, and although he did not speak, he was still able to leave an impact on her heartbeat.Ava could not express the joy and excitement in her heart. “Danny.” Ava finally called out Daniel's name, her voice trembling slightly. “Danny, it's great that you finally woke up.”Ava leaned over and squeezed Daniel's hand tightly.This grasp seemed to surprise Daniel very much. He even reflexively pulled his hand back the moment Ava clenched him tightly.Ava was stunned by Daniel's action, and so was Madeline, not to mention Daniel's parents and Naya.Daniel was clearly resisting Ava.However, how was that possible?“Danny?” Ava looked at Daniel ine
Naya had come unbeknownst to them, and she was bringing a bowl of chicken soup that was meant for Daniel.Daniel's right arm was still wrapped with lots of gauze, so he could not exert much force. He just looked at Naya and said, “Thank you.”Naya quickly showed a shy smile. “Dan, why are you being so polite to me? We grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. We've been through all kinds of ups and downs together. Plus, I'm your fiancée now, so I have to take care of you.”Madeline and Ava heard what Naya said to Daniel. The fire in their hearts burst out at the same time.Naya was lying through her teeth and saying lies to Daniel, who was now an amnesiac. Her motives and intentions were too obvious.However, when Madeline and Ava were about to enter the ward, Daniel's mother suddenly appeared in front of them.While Ava and Madeline were stopped outside, Daniel and Naya, who was sitting by the bed, looked over.Compared to her previous impatient attitude, Mrs. Graham now
Naya also went along with Mrs. Graham’s act by showing a sad and conflicted expression. “Forget it, Mrs. Graham. We won’t mention this person in the future. I just want to live a quiet life with Dan.”“Okay, we won't talk about her anymore. If she dares to pester you again, I'll get bodyguards to kick her out.” Daniel's mother used this topic to put forth her ideas.Upon hearing this, Daniel’s heart felt uncomfortable. He frowned and did not drink the chicken soup that Naya brought. Instead, he seriously emphasized, “If she comes to me next time, let me talk to her. Don't use such violent means to drive her away.”Daniel's mother and Naya were stunned for a moment, feeling that Daniel still had some subconscious pity and love for Ava.Daniel's mother felt the need to make a swift decision on this. Hence, her face sank. “Dan, you’re too soft-hearted. You shouldn’t give any chances to women like her. If you talk to her nicely, she’ll become very arrogant. Plus, if you really agree to
They did not expect Madeline to retort like this. Daniel's mother, who was pretending to be calm and collected, could not hold back her emotions all of a sudden.However, even though Daniel's mother was angry, she still knew that she could not fight head-on with Madeline. Although the Grahams also were a big family and had a big business, the Whitmans and the Montgomeries were now bound by marriage. It would not do her any good to offend Madeline. Therefore, she just rolled her eyes at Ava.“Ava, are you so desperate to marry into a wealthy family? There are so many good men in the world, so why do you have to insist on being with Dan? I've already told you so clearly. Why won't you listen to me?”Daniel's mother glared at Ava furiously, her tone getting more and more aggressive.“Listen to me. I only compromised and agreed with your and Dan’s relationship at the time for Dan’s sake. I had no idea that such a thing would happen to him not long after I gave my agreement. I got someo
After seeing that, Madeline thought it was ridiculous, but Jeremy was dissatisfied.How dare Naya sue Madeline?She was even suing Madeline for ruining her reputation.This was downright ridiculous.Madeline did not want to deal with Naya's ridiculous behavior and left it to her own team of lawyers to deal with it.However, Jeremy did not want Madeline to suffer such grievances. Even though he knew that Naya could not successfully sue Madeline, Jeremy decided to deal with it in person in order to avenge his precious wife.Mendez Group.Naya’s father was having a meeting with the senior executives in the conference room. At this moment, someone knocked hurriedly on the glass door of the conference room. A second later, a female secretary pushed the door open to come in.Of course, the senior executives were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the female secretary. However, Ethan knew very well that the secretary would not do this unless there was something urgent. “What hap
After Jeremy said that, the entire conference room was so silent that only the sounds of breathing could be heard. Everyone present understood what Jeremy meant very clearly.The daughter of the Mendezes had offended Jeremy's wife. Therefore, the young master of Glendale came here to criticize Ethan.Ethan held the lawyer's letter from the Mendezes in his hand and frowned, his head aching.This unruly daughter had gotten into enough trouble recently. Ethan did not expect her to cause trouble again. How great! This time, she even provoked the person who was the most difficult to deal with in Glendale.Ethan was a well-behaved businessman, and he was also kind in dealing with others. This time, he hoped that he would be able to make this issue on hand sound less serious and then reduce it to nothing at all. With that approach in mind, he was very polite and apologetic to Jeremy.“Mr. Whitman, I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you and your wife. My daughter has been arrogant
She looked at Jeremy for a few seconds before striding over to Ethan's side.“Daddy, why is he here? What is he doing in Mendez Group’s conference room?” Naya used a puzzled tone and reached out to hold Ethan's hand with a hint of pamperedness.Ethan's face sank as he pushed Naya's outstretched hand away. “How dare you ask Mr. Whitman why he’s here? Ask yourself what you’ve done!”Naya had never seen her father get so angry with her, so she was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she realized there were so many people watching in the conference room. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. Hence, her temper started to rise again.“What’s wrong? What have I done?”“You’re still playing dumb?!” Ethan's eyes widened in anger as he turned back to pick up the lawyer's letter on the conference table. “Look at what you’ve done!”Ethan did not have the heart to throw the lawyer's letter directly on Naya, so he shoved it into Naya's hands instead.Naya grabbed it and saw it instantly.
Jeremy did not beat about the bush either. His cold gaze looked straight into Naya's panicked eyes as he retorted ruthlessly.“Do you know the meaning of the word ‘victim’? How thick is your face to be able to say such a thing, huh?”“...” Naya's cheeks heated up when she heard the words. Embarrassment overwhelmed her instantly. Naya tried to explain and rebut, but she heard Jeremy's cold voice again.“I think everyone present, except for Mr. Mendez, knows exactly what’s the truth of the matter that went viral on the internet. You can't just rely on your one-sided statement to clear your name. My wife was right to say that you’re a cruel and despicable woman. Not only are you cruel and despicable, but you’re also very insidious.”Jeremy did not show any respect for her at all, and his eyes were even sharper now.“Naya, you know best in your heart who’s the real mastermind behind Daniel’s car accident. Don't try to argue. I, Jeremy Whitman, promise that one day, you’ll end up in
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
