After hearing what Niamh said, Ava started to cry even harder.
“Actually, what she said isn’t completely wrong. If I were the one who went out and not Dan, the person lying inside now would be me. It was Dan who saved me from this disaster.”
Ava raised her tearful eyes slightly. She tried her best to look at the man lying on the hospital bed through her blurred vision but she could not seem to see clearly.
Daniel’s body was wrapped in a lot of gauzes, including his face and head.
Ava could not stop her tears when she looked at Daniel in this state.
Niamh took out a tissue and wiped Ava’s tears. She kept saying comforting words to Ava again and again, but she knew it was useless. Ava would only feel better if Daniel’s condition improved. After Niamh wiped Ava’s tears, she sat by her side and stayed with her.
Soon, Kendrick arrived. He figured that Niamh could not keep staying with Ava. If this continued, both of them would be exhausted. Of course, he was Selfish and felt more distressed for Niamh. From the corners of her eyes, Niamh noticed that someone was watching her from afar. She glanced sideways and met Kendrick’s deep eyes that were as gentle as water.
Seeing that Ava had closed her eyes to take a nap out of exhaustion, she gently got up and walked to Kendrick while taking small steps.
They met each other’s gaze, affection and nostalgia flowing in their eyes.
“Kendrick, when did you arrive? Have you been standing here for a long time?”
Kendrick raised his hand to tuck the hair on Niamh’s face behind her ear. Then, he smiled and said, “I just arrived and didn’t want to go over to disturb you two since you look exhausted.” Niamh looked back at Ava. “I’m fine, but Ava is really exhausted. She feels even more terrible now.”
“There are ways to treat Daniel. I’ve contacted several more authoritative professors in the field. They’l take time out as soon as possible to check on Daniel’s situation.”
Kendrick’s answer made a look of glee appear on Niamh’s face instantly.
“Is it possible that Dan’s condition will improve?” “I can’t guarantee that Daniel will get better, but at least we can have a little more hope.” Niamh nodded. She figured that Kendrick was right.
This was the only thing they could do now.
After Daniel’s mother went back, she immediately took out all the luxury gifts that Naya had previously given her.
Daniel’s father stood by and was confused. “What are you doing with your clothes and jewelry at this time?”
“Gosh, honey, look at this crystal. It really seems fake. Could it be that she has been using fake products to fool me all these years? If that’s the case, won’t I be utterly humiliated? I’ve worn these things to so many parties.”
The more Daniel’s mother spoke, the more she felt that something was wrong. She packed all the things that Naya had given her and sent them to the appraisal agency early the next morning. After that, she went straight to the hospital. | However, after arriving at the hospital, Daniel’s mother did not see Daniel in the intensive care unit. Ava was not there either.
She immediately felt uneasy. Daniel’s mother knew very well that no matter what, Ava would definitely stay by Daniel’s side. Now that they were both gone, it was very likely that something bad had happened to Daniel.
Sure enough, Daniel’s mother stopped a nurse and learned that Daniel’s situation suddenly had a bad turn. He was in the emergency room at the moment.
Daniel’s mother immediately felt tense and rushed to the emergency room. From afar, she spotted Ava, Niamh, and Kendrick waiting at the door with heavy expressions on their faces. “What’s going on? What happened? What’s wrong with Dan?” Daniel’s mother asked loudly as she quickly walked toward the emergency room. Niamh raised her eyes when she heard the noise. When she saw Daniel’s mother in a hurry, Niamh subconsciously moved in front of Ava and said coldly.
“There was a fluctuation in the machine’s reading just now. The doctor is now inside giving Dan a detailed diagnosis and treatment. The specific situation is still unclear.”
“A fluctuation? Which machine? Dan’s condition must have deteriorated and that’s why he’s in the emergency room.”
Daniel’s mother became nervous. The next second, she started to target Ava again.
“It’s all your fault! You made Dan like this! I shouldn’t have given in and agreed to let you date Dan back then!”
This made Niamh very uncomfortable. However, before she could speak, Kendrick quickly retorted.
“Instead of blaming the criminal who tampered with the car and caused the accident, you’re here blaming the person who loves your son wholeheartedly. Is there something wrong with your thinking?”
?..”’ Daniel’s mother’s expression froze when she heard Kendrick scolding her. Just as she was thinking about what to say, she heard footsteps behind her.
Daniel’s mother turned around, only to see two doctors in white coats and a few nurses hurriedly walking toward the emergency room. Her heart trembled, and she felt that something was not right.
“Doctors, has my son’s condition worsened? How is he doing now?”
“Madam, please make way.” The nurse reminded Daniel’s mother not to stop the doctor.
“Tell me what’s going on with my son first. Is he beyond rescue?”
“If you stop the doctor from going inside, then we won’t be able to tell you what’s going to happen,” the nurse replied.
Daniel’s mother was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she felt a force on her shoulders. Then, her whole body was pulled back by someone. “Mrs. Graham, watch out.” Naya’s seemingly concerned voice came from behind, followed by a dissatisfied reproach. “Ava, how could you pull at Mrs. Graham like this? She’ II fall.”
When Daniel’s mother heard what Naya said, she realized that it was Ava who pulled her. She turned back and glared at Ava. “You…”
“I really don’t want to waste my time arguing with you. Dan definitely doesn’t want to see me arguing with you. The doctor is inside now, so we’ll just wait here quietly for them to bring us news. Stop making trouble.”
Ava said these words calmly before she turned around and walked to the corner. After that, she sat down without saying a word.
“Ava, you’re so good at acting. How could you say that to Mrs. Graham?” Naya continued to provoke her, saying, “It’s uncertain whether Dan will live or die right now and it’s all because of you. However, you’re talking to Mrs. Graham with that tone. Do you still have a conscience?”
Ava seemed to turn a deaf ear to Naya’s provocation. However, Niamh was not going to allow Naya to take the opportunity to trouble Ava again.
When she was about to speak up for Ava, Raegan showed up.
She was overbearing. Furthermore, she seemed to be enveloped by a very strong aura as she walked toward them. It felt very oppressive.
Raegan walked straight up to Naya, her eyes piercing and sharp. “You poorly educated degenerate. Apologize to Ava right now!”
Niamh did not expect Raegan to suddenly appear. Ava, who was sitting in the corner, gave a small reaction too. However, her brows seemed to furrow even tighter now.
Naya was stunned for a moment.
She widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Raegan in front of her.
What did this woman say she was?
A poorly educated degenerate? A degenerate!
She was a dignified young lady who grew up ina life of luxury. She had always been a delicate princess with an extraordinary status, but now, she was called a degenerate!
Raegan probably read Naya’s thoughts from her conflicted and angry expression, but Raegan did not change her mind.
“Did you hear what I said? Miss Degenerate, please apologize to my daughter right away.” Raegan repeated herself and directly called Naya ‘ Miss Degenerate’.
Naya was really frustrated now. “How dare you call me that? Do you think you’re all that just because you have money? Do you think you can bully others just because you have money?” Raegan smiled calmly and gracefully in the face of Naya’s angry accusation. “I’ve never thought that being rich is great, and people in the upper class who are truly rich will never think that as well. They’ll use their money to help people in need, not bully others. But you seem to be different, Miss Degenerate. Everyone knows about what you’ve done before, so you don’t have to quibble about whether you’re a degenerate or not.”
“…”
After Naya heard these words, she was even more annoyed. Her face turned red with anger.
She felt so uncomfortable with how Raegan kept calling her a degenerate.
“Are you not going to apologize?” Raegan reminded again.
Naya sneered. “Why should I apologize to her? Is she even worthy of my apology?”
“What Naya said just now is right. She can’t escape the fact that she’s related to Dan’s car accident.” Daniel’s mother was also siding with Naya at this time.
However, Raegan’s expression did not change in the slightest. “Mrs. Graham, even a passerby who doesn’t know the whole story wouldn’t stupidly accuse an innocent person. The car indeed belongs to Ava, but what did she do wrong?
“Ts it just because she’s dating your son?”
Raegan suddenly asked such a question.
Daniel’s mother and Naya seemed to grasp this key point, and they both looked up.
“Yeah! She shouldn’t be with Dan!” Daniel’s mother emphasized.
“Actually, 1 think so too. Your son shouldn’t be dating my daughter,” Raegan retorted.
This sentence surprised everyone in front of her. It also made Ava’s expression finally waver.
She stood up and looked at Raegan in confusion. However, she noticed that not only were Raegan’s eyes sharp at this moment, but there was also a touch of indescribable gentleness.
“Mrs. Graham, you must think that your son is an elite like no other. If he were to find a wife, then she must be an appropriate match with him. You look down on my daughter because she’s an ordinary woman. To be honest, I also look down on every one of you except for Daniel.”
?..” Daniel’s mother’s face fell. “What do you mean?”
“I’ve made myself very clear, but I don’t know if you understand, Mrs. Graham. Just ask yourself. Aside from your status in Glendale, what else is there for the Grahams to be proud of? Your blood is blue yet you don’t even know the most basic form of respect. You say you belong to the upper class but you can’t even differentiate right from wrong. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?” ?
“…”
Daniel’s mother was still confident, but when shewas Called out by Raegan like that, sheimmediately felt ashamed. At the same time, shedid not want to lose as well.
“Hmph!” Daniel’s mother huffed. “Respect? Your daughter is the one who threw herself at my son.She doesn’t respect herself, so why should Irespect her? Plus, the Grahams are a reputable family in Glendale. So what if I want to find a daughter-in-law who’s a suitable match with my family?”
After Daniel’s mother said that, Raegan and Niamh were fuming. However, Ava just hada sarcastic smile on her lips. °
“Mrs. Graham, your words are so awful. What do you mean Ava threw herself at your son? How could you describe the person your son loves like that? Plus, Dan was the one who stopped her when she wanted to leave. That’s why she agreed to stay. I was there and saw everything with my own eyes.”
Niamh emphasized, her gaze sharp and piercing.
“It’s a harmonious relationship where both sides love each other, but in your eyes, Ava threw herself at Daniel. Even if you don’t want to respect Ava, you should at least respect Dan.”
