Kendrick responded quickly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be here to keep watch. You guys go back and havea good sleep.”
“Okay.” Niamh nodded. She did not say any more before taking Ava’s hand and turning around.
However, before they could go far, Niamh saw Naya and Daniel’s mother walking toward them hurriedly.
Ava was already very tired, but at this moment, she deliberately cheered up to say hello to
Daniel’s mother.
However, just as she was about to speak, Daniel’s mother suddenly rushed in front of her, raised her hand, and slapped her across the face.
The sound of the slap was extremely loud.
Ava could not maintain her balance and staggered backward a little. Niamh quickly supported Ava and looked up to glare at Daniel’s mother with dissatisfaction.
“Mrs. Graham, why did you slap Ava?”
“Yes, I slapped her!” Daniel’s mother pointed at Ava angrily and gritted her teeth. “She’s a bringer of trouble and bad luck! If Dan hadn’t driven her car, how could such a thing have happened? It’s all her fault!”
Upon hearing this, Niamh understood what Daniel’s mother meant. However, she thought it was ridiculous.
“The crash was an accident. No one wanted it to happen. How could the responsibility for this be placed on Ava? I don’t think you’re someone who can’t tell right from wrong, Mrs. Graham.”
“I don’t want to know what’s right and wrong now. ] just want my son to be healthy and safe!” Daniel’s mother emphasized while pointing at Ava. “Leave right now. I don’t want to see you again. Dan doesn’t need you to stay by his side either. Get lost!”
Kendrick, who was on the side, could not stand it anymore. “I think if your son wakes up now, the person he would want to see most is Ava. Why are you driving her away? Do you think that if Ava is gone, your son’s condition will improve?” Daniel’s mother looked up and met Kendrick’s deep, cold eyes. She was a little scared, but she did not show any weakness. Instead, she just avoided Kendrick’s eyes.
“In short, I don’t want this woman to appear by my son’s side again. My future daughter-in-law Naya will be taking care of my son from now on!”
Niamh 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 shoulder.
After seeing this scene, Niamh was about to stop Naya, but Naya stopped herself first. She turned back to look at Ava with a strange smile. “ I’m so sorry for bumping into you, Miss Long. I didn’t mean to doit.” z
Naya was apologizing, but her eyes were full of provocation.
Of course, Niamh was reluctant to let Ava suffer like this in vain. However, Ava stopped her just as she was about to go forward.
“Niamh, I’m very tired. Go back and sleep with me,”
Niamh knew that Ava was saying this because she did not want to make things worse or disturb Daniel, so Niamh suppressed her emotions and asked Kendrick to come back.
“Kendrick, can you drive me and Ava back to my parents’ house?”
Kendrick seemingly glanced at Naya before obediently following Niamh.
Naya quietly watched the trio turn around and leave from the corners of her eyes. Seeing that they were a distance away, Naya quietly chuckled and averted her gaze. ?
However, she could not feel pleased for a long time. When she saw Daniel lying on the hospital bed with bandages and tubes all over his body, she suddenly felt horrible. :
This accident was really unexpected. She wanted Ava to disappear from this world, but she did not think that Daniel would be injured.
Naya felt flustered once more.
They could not start investigating his case. Otherwise…
“Naya,” Daniel’s mother called out to Naya suddenly.
Naya snapped back to her senses. “Mrs. Graham.” “Naya, I didn’t expect you to be so affectionate and righteous. I don’t know whether Dan will wake up or not. Do you really not mind taking care of Dan like this all the time?” +
Naya knew that her feelings for Daniel were true, but if Daniel really fell into a vegetative state, she would not sacrifice her whole life for him.
However, she still had feelings for Daniel now and there was no one else she was into, so naturally, she would just go along with the situation for now. |
“Mrs. Graham, you watched me grow up. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? Regardless of whether Dan will wake up in the future, I’ll never leave him. Even if Dan wakes up in the future and still decides to choose Ava, I’ll have no regrets.”
Naya’s hypocritical words sounded very touching to the ears of Mrs. Graham, who was so moved that her eyes were red. She immediately grabbed Naya’s hand and praised her.
“Naya, you’re such a good girl that’s rare to come by. Dan didn’t choose you because he’s been blinded by that vixen.”
Daniel’s mother was pushing the blame on Ava. Naya did not say anything. She just patted Daniel’s mother’s shoulder with a reassuring smile. Although she knew that she did not achieve a perfect win in this round, she did not lose either.
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 slept all night,” Chloe said weakly and was about to hang up.
Naya immediately stopped her. “You’re still in the mood to sleep? Dan was ina car accident because of you and he may fall into a vegetative state!”
“What? What are you talking about? Who’s Dan?” Chloe sounded like she was very drunk.
Naya was boiling with rage when she heard this. She was flustered and exasperated.
“Chloe, hurry and sober up! You got someone to do something to Ava’s car that day, but Ava didn’t drive the car. Daniel drove it. He got into a serious accident and might not ever wake up! The police have started to look into the car accident. They’ go looking for you soon, do you understand?” After Naya finished saying that, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Chloe’s stunned and astonished voice followed.
“What did you say? Daniel got into an accident while driving Ava’s car?”
Chloe asked in disbelief, then got an affirmative answer from Naya.
“Yes, it happened yesterday.”
? .. Impossible! H-How is that possible?” Chloe was fully awake at the moment, but she could notbelieve that this was true.
She did not ask the person she got to do anything to the brakes. She just asked him to pretend to get in the car and do something to the car. In reality, it was just so she could fake evidence to show to Naya.
Her purpose was just to get the 200,000 bucks. She never thought about committing murder. However, what was Naya telling her now? Someone had an accident in that car?
No, this was impossible.
When Naya listened to Chloe’s denial, she asked Chloe resolutely, “Why is it impossible? Did you forget that it was you who got someone to get in the car and do something to the brakes? You even took a video for me. I still have the video saved. Plus, Dan got into the accident because the brakes didn’t work.”
?..” Chloe’s hands and legs went cold. Her back was drenched in a layer of cold sweat.
This was so strange.
She never asked that person to do anything to the brakes. Did that thug act on his own initiative? How was that possible?
Those kinds of thugs would not do any additional work after they got their money, so how could the thug she hired sacrifice himself like this?
Chloe still felt that it was impossible. At this moment, someone knocked on the door of her hotel room.
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 ina 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 I involved in? I’m a good citizen, and I’m a public figure. How could I possibly—”
“A good citizen?” One of the police officers smiled faintly, seemingly knowing that Chloe and Naya had colluded to frame Ava before. After all, the incident was trending on the internet. As long as one had a mobile phone, they would know about this piece of gossip.
“The police will give you a fair and just answer on whether you’re a good citizen or if you’ve violated the law. Please cooperate with us.”
