Niamh and Ava did not reject his offer. They went out together.
On the way to the supermarket, Ava clenched her fists. Cold sweat started appearing in the palms of her hands unknowingly.
She kept having a bad feeling.
This feeling seemed to be confirmed when she saw a crowd gathering at the crossroad not far away from the supermarket.
“Stop the car!” Ava yelled those three words, unable to control herself.
Kendrick quickly stopped the car, and Ava opened the door to quickly run over.
“Ava!”
Niamh shouted in Ava’s direction, but Ava had already rushed into the crowd.
Kendrick looked curiously at Ava who was suddenly behaving frantically and came up witha possibility in his mind. He was about to speak when Niamh hurriedly opened the door and followed.
He did not think much before he rushed out of the car to chase after Niamh.
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.
Niamh 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. Almost half of the car was caught under a big truck and the paramedics were on standby, waiting for the rescuers to rescue the victims trapped in the car. Niamh dared not make any guesses, but her strong, restless heartbeat told her that something bad might have happened to Daniel.
She tried hard to stabilize her emotions before quickly running to Ava’s side. Then, she squatted down and pulled Ava into her arms.
“Ava, are you alright?”
“Danny…” Ava looked at the car in front of her like she was ina trance. She did not cry, but her mental state seemed tense. She might still be expecting something. She might still be expectingDaniel to be okay. She was even so selfish to hope that this was not her car and it was just a car of the same model.
However, even when she was deceiving herself like this, she could not pretend that she could not see the license plate number.
Ava stared at the car with a pale face and took out the phone from her pocket with trembling hands. It was obviously a number she knew by heart, but she could not seem to remember the string of numbers at the moment.
She flipped through the call log with trembling fingers and dialed Daniel’s number again.
A few seconds later, amid the noise, Ava heard a familiar melody coming from the front.
At this moment, Ava’s tears seemed to escape from the corners of her eyes as though a dam had burst.
It was at this same moment that Niamh saw that the rescuers were finally bringing out the wounded who was trapped in the wrecked car.
The paramedic on the side also quickly stepped forward to carry the wounded onto a stretcher. Ava restrained her emotions that seemed to be at the brink of a breakdown. She got up with Niamh’s help and walked over. When she saw the blood on the face of the person on the stretcher, she immediately lost all senses and fainted.
Since Naya did not want to go out and be criticized by others, she had been staying in her apartment and watching videos. Suddenly, she came across a short video of a car accident in her city.
At a glance, she saw that the car was half- smashed into a truck. The blood on the ground was blurred, and finally, her eyes fell on the car’s license plate number.
‘Is this… Ava’s car?’
The corners of Naya’s mouth lifted into a smile. To confirm that this was Ava’s car, she watched the video Chloe sent her before again and realized the license plate number was exactly the same.
Ava got into an accident so soon.
Naya was a little surprised. She did not expect Ava to use the car today. She thought that she would have to wait until Ava went to work tomorrow before she discovered that there was a problem with the brakes and got into a car accident. She did not expect that the moment she had been waiting for came so soon! +
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 Niamh 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 comments she had just read reappeared in her mind, many of which were comments made by people at the scene. They said that they had witnessed the accident with their own eyes.
They said that Daniel’s car seemed to have lost control at the time and it hit the big truck.
It was also said that after Daniel was rescued, his entire face was badly injured. It was impossible to see what he originally looked like.
Naya felt as if the sky was falling when she thought about these comments.
She hurriedly picked up the phone on the ground, hastily grabbed a coat, and went straight to the hospital that the netizens mentioned.
After arriving at the hospital, Naya asked the hospital staff and found the location of the emergency room.
From a distance, she saw Ava and Niamh waiting at the door of the emergency room with Kendrick not far away.
Naya did not dare to go over. Her eyes fell on Ava as they got colder and darker.
‘Why did you let Dan suffer this for you?
‘Ava, you’re the one who should die!’
Naya cursed fiercely in her heart. When she was hesitating whether to go over, two figures suddenly passed by her side.
They were Daniel’s parents who just got the news. Daniel’s parents hurried to the door of the emergency room, seemingly unaware of Naya’s existence.
When Daniel’s mother saw Ava sitting there with a sluggish expression, she hurriedly asked, “ What’s going on? What on earth is going on? Dan was fine a second ago. How could Dan have gotten into a car accident? I saw on the internet that the car wasn’t Dan’s at all! Is this a mistake?”
“Hello, Mrs. Graham. I’m Ava and Dan’s friend, Eveline. That car is indeed not Dan’s. Dan drove Ava’s car to go to the supermarket to buy some things and got into an accident on the way back.” Niamh tried to keep her emotions in check as she explained patiently word by word. °
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Mrs. Graham suddenly turned red as her voice trembled. “Does it mean that Dan is really the one who got into an accident? How could this happen? Why is this happening? How is Dan now?”
Although Naya was far away, she could still hear the emotional questioning of Daniel’s mother.
She was also very nervous at the moment as she waited for the answer that Niamh and the rest would tell Mrs. Graham.
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’1] 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.”
Niamh 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 Niamh. 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.
Niamh 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.” Niamh tried to appease Ava’s emotions, but she knew all too well that only Daniel’s safety could truly appease Ava’s heart at this time.
Niamh glanced at the operating room in front 0f her. The red light continued to stay on. After two long hours, the door of the operating room finally opened.
Ava rushed over immediately, her scarlet eyes staring straight at the chief surgeon.
“Doctor, how is my boyfriend? Is he okay now?” Daniel’s parents also had heavy looks on their faces as they looked at the chief surgeon expectantly.
The doctor looked at them and sighed with regret. “We’ve done our best. The patient has to rely on his willpower to survive.”
Upon hearing those words, Ava instantly seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She weakly fell backward.
Niamh quickly reached for Ava. “Ava!”
Daniel’s mother cried out in despair, “Dan!” Kendrick, who was standing on the side, felt bad as well when he saw this scene.
‘One will never know if misfortune will befall them tomorrow.”
He thought silently as his eyes naturally fell on Niamh again.
In the days to come, he just wanted to cherish the people around him even more.
It was because the future was not guaranteed. After Daniel came out of the operating room, he was transferred to the intensive care unit. His family members were not allowed to visit him. Ava could only stand at the door of the intensive care unit and watch Daniel, who was lying on the bed, through the glass window.
Daniel’s injuries were serious because the front of the car had hit the back of the truck, causing the airbag to deploy.
Daniel’s brain was severely concussed and there were various degrees of fractures and scratches all over his body. Hence, his whole body was covered with gauze. |
