He could not help but look at Ava a few more times. The joy and excitement in his heart were surging fiercely, but he told himself that he had to suppress his emotions.“Why were you at the hospital, Miss Long?” Neil asked again.Ava pursed her lips and smiled. “I had something to take care of. By the way, why were you there as well, Doctor?” “I was specially invited to give a lecture,” Neil explained.“Doctor, you’re so busy, yet you still need to take time out to check on Danny’s condition. Thanks for the trouble.” Ava thanked him very politely.“It’s no trouble at all. You’re my fam—” Neil almost blurted out that she was his family member, but he hurriedly stopped himself. “I mean, after being a doctor for so many years, I’ve long regarded patients as my family. I'll feel happy and have a sense of purpose whenever they recover.”“Dr. Long, you’re indeed an angel in white. You have such noble medical ethics too,” Ava praised. “Right, I wanted to look for you and tell you somet
Ava looked at Raegan's smiling face but could not help frowning.“You already knew that the doctor and I would be here for dinner tonight, didn't you?”After Ava asked that, Raegan suddenly stopped cutting the vegetables and the sharp edge of the knife accidentally slid across her finger. Bright red blood instantly flowed from the wound.Hiss! Raegan reflexively made a muffled sound.Upon seeing this scene, Ava suddenly blamed herself for asking this question at this time. Her heart ached when she saw Raegan’s wounded and bleeding finger.“Where’s the first aid kit?” Ava asked hurriedly, knowing that they usually kept a small first aid kit at home.Raegan did not care about this small wound, but she felt very happy to see Ava being so concerned about her.“Ava, it doesn't matter. It’s such a small wound. I don’t need the first aid kit,” Raegan said nonchalantly and washed the wound with clean water.After seeing that Raegan was not taking it seriously, Ava hurriedly turned arou
The way he entered the door was very natural. He was talking and laughing as if he belonged to this family. “I wanted to chat with my old friends today, but I didn't think that Tom would suddenly have an important guest to see, so he left me there.”Ava heard Neil's voice in the kitchen. She looked up and brought the freshly made dishes to the table.Only then did Neil notice that the person busying away in the kitchen was Ava. He stopped in his tracks and was slightly stunned.Seeing Neil in a daze, Raegan quickly walked to his side and said in a low voice, “Tonight's dishes were all made by Ava.”When Neil heard this, a look of delight and surprise appeared on his face. However, he soon furrowed his brows.“I wonder when my daughter started learning how to cook?”He sighed regretfully and turned to face Raegan.“It feels like our daughter has always been preoccupied. I wonder if it's because of our future son-in-law.”“It must be. Ava has lost a lot of weight taking care of D
Ava's answer shocked Raegan and Neil.“Am I right?” Ava spoke again, looking at the two dazed people in front of her.Raegan was quick to come back to her senses and quickly put down the fork in her hand. “Ava, this—”“Back then, you two colluded to deceive me. You left me alone next to the stall selling churros and never returned. Today, both of you are still working together to deceive me again.” Ava said with a sarcastic bitter smile on the corners of her lips.“Do you really think of me as your daughter?”When Ava asked this, her eyes were full of disappointment.Raegan and Neil stood up nervously. “Ava, we didn't mean to lie to you. It's because—”“Because you’re afraid that if I know he’s my irresponsible father from back then, I’ll reject and refuse to acknowledge him, right?”Ava interrupted Raegan and asked coldly. Then, she laughed.“Don't worry, I won't reject him. It’s a rare chance for Dr. Long to examine Dan, and that’s all I want. But other than that, there’s
Ava laughed self-deprecatingly again, tears slipping silently from the corners of her eyes.Madeline looked very distressed. She wanted to comfort Ava, but then she heard Ava sarcastically saying, “My parents are both so capable. How great of them! But I can’t even see my boyfriend. It’s ridiculous, so ridiculous…”While talking, Ava picked up the glass again and wanted to drink.Madeline hurriedly reached out her hand to stop her. “Ava, stop drinking. Drinking too much will hurt your health.”“But I'm so sad now…” Ava cried out, “Maddie, have a drink with me. I want to forget those unhappy things for a while.”After hearing what Ava said, Madeline's heart ached. Then, she slowly let go.Sometimes, drinking was not necessarily a bad thing. At least, it could make people forget all their troubles temporarily. It was not a bad thing.She had stopped breastfeeding her son, so Madeline raised the glass with confidence.Just before drinking, she messaged Jeremy.Ava was in a very b
Madeline glanced at the clock on the nightstand. “Um, it's almost noon.”“What? It's so late? Oh no!” Ava seemed to be refreshed all of a sudden. She did not care about her headache anymore as she reached out and grabbed the clothes that Madeline was hanging over before running into the bathroom to take a shower.“Ava, slow down. You just woke up.” Madeline reminded her.“I know. I won't make you worry,” Ava replied loudly.Madeline also turned around and went downstairs to prepare chicken soup and breakfast for Ava to sober up.After taking a shower, Ava looked a lot more energetic. Madeline then learned that Ava had asked Daniel to see a doctor today.The doctor was Ava's biological father, Neil.“I have to hurry up and look for Danny after eating. Danny should have left home by now. Maddie, can you drive me there in a while?” Ava said while wolfing down her food.Madeline smiled lightly. “You dummy. Of course, I'll take you there. Eat slowly and don't choke.”“I can’t. I ca
This voice that was filled with arrogance and haughtiness was all too familiar to Ava.Ava clenched her fist, knowing that her plan today was ruined. She took a deep breath, recomposed herself, and turned around with an indifferent face.Naya was dressed beautifully and carrying an expensive handbag. She stood in front of Ava arrogantly.“Ava, this is the last time I'm warning you. Stop approaching my fiancé again.”“Heh.” Ava could not help sneering. “Fiancé? Naya, you’re so shameless.”Ava immediately replied sarcastically, causing Naya's face to sink.“Ava, you…”“What? Naya, you know exactly who Dan's fiancée is. You're taking advantage of Dan's amnesia and you want to instill him with memories that aren’t true at all. Listen to me, it's useless. Sooner or later, Dan will remember everything.”After hearing this, Naya gritted her teeth in disapproval. However, the next second, she showed a sinister and smug smile again.“Yes, you're right. Dan’s memory loss won’t last fo
After warning Madeline, Naya started to walk away without stopping. It was as if she was afraid that Madeline would see through her if she was any slower.However, Madeline already knew the truth. It was just that it was covered by a veil. “Judging from her arrogant appearance, I think she’s quite sure that the thug who took the blame for her won't expose her.” Ava walked over slowly.Madeline then turned around and handed the phone to Ava. “Ava, you should call Dan first and ask where he is.”“I don’t think that’s necessary anymore.” Ava sighed with a smile. “Naya’s appearance means that Dan won’t be able to meet me anymore. All of this is Naya's fault.”“If that’s the case, I think it’s necessary to find evidence of Naya's crime as soon as possible.” Madeline's expression also became a little more serious. “The previous evidence couldn’t be established because the thug who took Chloe's money suddenly pleaded guilty. It must mean that someone had talked to him.”Ava seemed to h
