What did it matter if Ava had a lot of people supporting her? She could be authoritative as well as long as Daniel’s mother was on her side.
The next morning, Naya dolled herself up and came to the hospital. However, she was told that Daniel had been transferred to the VIP ward from the intensive care unit.
Naya found the ward, but before she pushed the door to go in, she spotted Ava leaning on the sofa next to the bed. She was resting her eyes.
Naya rolled her eyes and scoffed in contempt. When she was about to push the door open, she heard Niamh’s voice.
“Miss Mendez, you’ re still in the mood to come here?”
Naya stopped in her tracks and turned to see Niamh walking over with a meaningful smile. Naya did not dare to offend Niamh, so she put on a hypocritical smile. “Mrs. Waldburg, this is not private property, so why can’t I come here? Also, I’m in a good mood today. Do I need to get your permission to be here?”
Niamh smiled. “You’ve misunderstood me, Miss Mende. I mean to say that the police will come to question you soon, so how could you still be in the mood to leave the house?”
Naya was a little flustered when she heard Niamh mention the police, but she pretended to be calm. “What do you mean, Mrs. Waldburg?” “I mean…”
Before Niamh finished speaking, Naya’s cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and frowned. Then, she ended the call and muttered, “ Why are there so many harassments calls lately? It’s so annoying.”
After she complained, she did not continue to pay attention to Niamh. She pushed the door into the hospital ward.
Ava was feeling a little sleep when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of the door opening. When she raised her drowsy eyes and saw that the person who came in was Naya, she immediately stood up vigilantly.
“Why are you still here?”
“Ava,” Niamh walked in and called out to Ava. A small smile crept across Ava’s vigilant face. “ Niamh, you’re here.”
“Yeah, I brought you breakfast. I made it myself. You should eat first and take a rest.”
Ava smiled and nodded. Then, she took the breakfast from Niamh and walked to the side to sit down, preparing to eat. She completely ignored Naya.
Niamh also seemed to ignore Naya. Without even looking at Naya, she sat next to Ava, and the two chatted in soft voices.
Looking at this scene, Naya inexplicably panicked. She looked at Daniel, who seemed to be silent on the hospital bed. Then, she slowly approached him and suddenly bent down to say into Daniel’s ear.
“Dan, don’t worry. No matter what you become, I’ll be by your side. I believe that you will recover soon.”
Naya said those gentle words, deliberately saying them loud enough for Niamh and Ava to hear. She glanced at Ava provocatively, her eyes beyond proud.
“Ava…” Daniel suddenly uttered.
Naya froze abruptly, not expecting Daniel to speak at this time. Plus, he was even calling out to Ava. She instantly felt that her provocation against Ava just now had turned into an insult aimed at herself.
Ava, upon hearing Daniel’s voice, threw the fork i nher hand away and hurried to Daniel.
“Danny, Danny, you’re calling for me, right?” Ava grabbed Daniel’s hand and stared at the sleeping man with teary eyes.
Naya, who was on the side, could not stand it any longer. “Ava, let go of Dan. He’s already so weak yet you’re still pulling on him like this. Don’t you want Dan to get better?”
“When exactly did you see Ava pulling on Dan? Naya, you know best in your heart who Dan wants to see the most. I’m telling you now not to make a fool out of yourself here.” Niamh stepped forward to speak up for Ava.
When Naya wanted to retort, she suddenly seemed to hear Daniel’s weak voice calling out for Ava again. “Ava…”
?..” Naya felt as if she had been slapped in the face. Her face felt hot and burning.
Ava did not want to pay attention to Naya now. She grabbed Daniel’s hand tightly as tears escaped her eyes. “Danny, I’m here. I’m right here. I’ll stay with you no matter how many people want to stop us from being together. I’ll never leave you.”
Ava seemed to be saying this to Naya. Naya bit her lip in anger. She did not like to see Ava getting close to Daniel. When she wanted to mention Mrs. Graham to put pressure on Ava, two police officers pushed the door open and walked in. Their target was clear as they walked straight to Naya.
“Are you Naya Mendez?”
Naya was stunned for a second. Then, she turned to look at the police, her heart pounding. Niamh also followed the source of the sound and could probably guess what was going on. However, Ava did not care about Naya at all. Her eyes and thoughts were all on Daniel.
Although Naya was very nervous, she knew that she could not panic.
“I’m Naya Mendez.” Naya walked over, pretending to have a clear conscience. “May I help you, officers?”
“We’ve found the person who broke into Miss Long’s vehicle that day. The other party isa gangster who idles his time away. What he said is almost the same as what Chloe Tawney said,” the police officer said directly.
After he said that, Niamh’s and Ava’s expressions changed at the same time.
They found the man who tampered with the car? Naya’s face flashed with panic, but she pretended to be calm as she said, “It’s good that you’ve arrested him. You should go find that man. Why did you come to me?”
“We want to ask you to assist in the investigation of some related urgent matters. We have to trouble you to go to the police station with us.” Upon hearing the police officer’s words, Naya breathed a sigh of relief. She thought the police had found something, but they did not.
Naya followed with a friendly smile. “I’m happy to assist the police.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ava, whose eyes were blurry with tears. “Ava, no matter how much you distance yourself from the fact, nothing can change that Dan was driving your car when he got into the accident.”
Naya glanced at the police after saying that. “ Let’s go, Mr. Officer.”
The leading police officer turned around and led the way. Just then, Niamh stopped the other police officer who was walking behind. “Officer, Iwant to know something.” The police officer asked politely, “May I ask who you are…”
Niamh explained her relationship with Ava and Daniel. Then, she asked, “Did the man you catch admit that he was the one who tampered with my friend’s car?”
“No,”
The policeman answered firmly.
“He admitted to taking money from Chloe Tawney to break into Miss Long’s car, but he said he just stole valuables from the car and didn’t do anything to the brakes.”
Ava gently released Daniel’s hand when she heard the words. She stood up. “He isn’t the one who tampered with the car? Is his confession credible?”
“We did a polygraph test with him and he didn’t lie, but a polygraph isn’t necessarily 100 percent accurate.”
“So what does this matter have to do with Naya?” Niamh asked.
The officer said he could not reveal to them the details of the investigation. Hence, he turned around and left.
“Niamh, what’s going on? If that man didn’t tamper with my car, how did the brakes get damaged?”
Ava grabbed Niamh’s hand and asked in confusion. A look of self-blame appeared on her face.
“So, it’s still my fault. Nothing would’ve happened to Danny if he hadn’t driven my car.” “Ava, you’re overthinking again. I told you that this has nothing to do with you.”
Niamh comforted Ava, but she was quietly thinking about the doubtful points in this case. “I’m not overthinking, Niamh. Danny took this calamity for me.”
Ava went back to Daniel’s side sadly. Niamh was worried that Ava would waste time dwelling o ninsoluble problems again, so she decided to stay by Ava’s side. At the same time, she also sent a message to Kendrick. °
Kendrick received a message from Niamh just after sending their son to school. After taking a look, he immediately called the relevant personnel to find out what had happened.
After learning about the situation, he immediately replied to Niamh’s message.
After seeing Kendrick’s reply, Niamh had a bold guess in her heart.
In the police car.
Naya suppressed the panic in her heart and remained calm on the surface.
She really wanted to know what the police wanted her help on. However, she was afraid that if she asked too much, the police would suspect something. Hence, she kept silent.
However, the events of that day popped up in her mind involuntarily…
That day, she received a message from Chloe saying that she had gotten someone to tamper with Ava’s car.
On that day, she had actually followed Chloe. She found a blind spot where the surveillance cameras would not be able to capture her and hid behind a pillar. She watched the man Chloe hired break into Ava’s car. Meanwhile, Chloe was standing there taking the video.
It did not take long for Chloe to send the video to her.
Naya glanced at it and did not reply. She was focused on the situation in the car.
After about ten minutes, the man got out of the car and left. Chloe also left soon after.
When the parking lot was empty, Naya got into Ava’s car.
Since the door was forcefully pried open, it could not be closed tightly. Naya put on rubber gloves and performed a series of operations on the brakes using the relevant information she found on the internet.
After doing this, she carefully left the crime scene. Naya did not think about anything at the time. She just wanted Ava to drive the car, get intoa serious accident, and die.
She was just worried that Chloe’s guy might not be cruel enough, so she decided to do it herself. Indeed, Chloe’s guy did not do the job well even after taking the money. However, Naya never imagined that Daniel would be the one who drove that car.
When Naya found out, her heart froze and her hands also turned cold.
The police car stopped at this time, and Naya was taken directly to the interrogation room. After sitting down, the first question she was asked by the police officer was where she was when Ava’s car was tampered with.
Naya’s back turned cold, but she did not even bat an eyelid before she parted her mouth and said, “I was watching a movie in my apartment that day.” “Are you sure you were in your apartment that day? You remember it so well?” The police officer maintained reasonable suspicion.
Naya nodded. “I’m pretty sure.” She assured, followed by a sad and innocent expression. “It’s because I was getting cyber-bullied during that period and people would look at me with strange looks wherever
I went, so I didn’t dare to go out.” After listening to Naya’s explanation, the police officer said, “We have also learned about the incident on the internet. You suffered the consequences of your own actions.” +
“…” Naya wanted to express her grievance, but she did not expect to be ridiculed.
